Smart move by Apple to change up the packaging. I'm mentally justifying the +$200 I spent for SS.

+$40 packaging
+$60 sapphire
+$100 steel casing


I really wish the box doubled as a charger too but that's okay; I'm sure I could easily do something with the box and make it charge my watch too.
 
For the first time in my life, I'm jealous of people in Australia. I still have to wait at least 9 hours for my watch to be delivered #

Actually I'm kidding. Australia is a lovely country and I'm always jealous....

But I still have to wait 9 hours minimum. So I'm jealous.

Mine is still processing... I still have to wait -x- hours...
 
This is absolute crap. I mean seriously, I ordered a SG Sport exactly at zero hour and have had nothing but that crappy email. I understand i ordered the most popular model but this is ridiculous. Whats the point of pre-ordering.:mad:
 
You do realize the difference is simply a shiny silver finish and a fancier timepiece packaging? That said, the SS does have a more premium feeling in comparison.


Not true the stainless steel gets also the sapphire glass. The sport gets the Ion-X glass , which is very similar to the Gorilla Glass.

Yeah. Regretting my jump on what was available to get on 4/24. Namely the white sport. Should have swallowed pride and gotten the stainless as originally planned. Going to end up playing with this for a few weeks and upgrading when stock back.
 
The bad news is that, early Space Gray buyers are out of luck on Day 1. All still 'Processing...'.

Angela Ahrendts has a lot to answer for!
 
I ordered a space grey and I got shipment confirmation earlier today ☺️ I also got the eod yesterday, so hope for everyone!
 
do we really care about the packaging??? I wouldn't care if the UPS driver was wearing it when he delivered it ... i just wish it was here already! :D

You get a watch!!! You get a watch!! You get a watch!! Everyone gets a watch!! .... except for you... you wait until May 8th since you ordered the Stainless Steel black sports band.

Cruel! Thanks for the back stab
 
Australian Disappointment Update 2

This is absolute crap. I mean seriously, I ordered a SG Sport exactly at zero hour and have had nothing but that crappy email. I understand i ordered the most popular model but this is ridiculous. Whats the point of pre-ordering.:mad:

Amen Brother. Exact same situation as you. I have had a pending charge on my account for a SG :apple: Watch for a couple of days now but other than that, nothing. No Confirmation emails or shipping updates. There was one shipping change but this was quickly changed back to pending within minutes.

Surely Apple could have prepared the shipping and payments prior to 3 days before release... They have known about my order since the 10th of April.

If I pre-ordered on zero hour, I expect to have the product in my hand on release day. Why else would I wait around to pre-order on zero hour.
 
so I have seen the sport packaging. I am not going to come back to the forums until tomorrow when I get mine. I do not want to see the SS packaging :)
 
do we really care about the packaging??? I wouldn't care if the UPS driver was wearing it when he delivered it ... i just wish it was here already! :D

Agreed. He could be wearing it around his penis and asking all his friends to text message him for all I care. Just hurry up and bring it!

Although I would prefer that he cleaned it. ###⌚️
