I can afford a $5,000 U-Boat, with a lifelong battery, and won't interrupt me every 5 seconds with useless spam from twitter, my 7 email accounts or other notifications.

If I interview you for a job and your watch is beeping with notifications, it's over.

Enjoy being ridiculed by your non-nerdy and more fashionable friends, no one cares you can run a marathon, joggers and cross fitters die everyday, monitoring your health on your watch doesn't stop the truck driver whose eaten pork ribs his entire life from having an heart attack on the highway and crushing your stupid Prius into tiny bits.

You're not better than anyone else because you can afford Fad tech

You seem very jealous or angry. I can't put my finger on it but, ultimately, I'm wondering why you stopped by here and took the time to post this message. You obviously feel very strongly about your feelings.
 
I spoke to someone at my local store who said he was surprised by how popular the watch had been. Then he asked me if I wanted to try on a watch, saying there was a spot free 'in 5 minutes'. I don't know if that's efficiency or shows not many people are trying them on yet. It was last Saturday and the store (and watch area) was crowded.

I was in my local Brick and Mortar on Saturday afternoon. It's a standard Mall Size Store. There were many customers in the store along with the employees.

There were no customers trying on the AW. 2 staff were dedicated to greeting each person walking in. They would ask "would you like to try on the AW? No appt necessary?" I saw one person accept.

Lot's of iPhone, iMac, MBA, MB, MBP action. I just assumed everyone had already ordered an AW and required no further assistance. :apple:

If anyone is going to ridicule or judge me for having an Apple Watch, they've saved me any further effort to tell me they're someone I don't want anything to do with.

This whole post came across pretty disrespectful, that is, until it kind of went all over the place at the end.
 
good luck beta testers


see you at version 2 with better battery and a faster GPU/CPU

You could be dead or broke by the time version 2 happens and even with so many iterations of the iPhone, people still have problems.

I'm waiting for the first reports from consumers but if it fulfills my needs without any glaring problems then why wait?

It's not worth it. The Kool Aid is intoxicating. Just stand back and watch. Soon it will be 6s rumor time. The AW will fade away.

I'm actually looking forward to the first colleague of mine to forget to place it in DND mode during a Teleconference. Not going to be much tolerance for "wrist watching" in the "Big Room." ;)
 
Oh what's this UPS? A tasty Apple Watch Shipment notification?

You shouldn't have!

Finally it's happened to me right in front of my face and I just cannot hide it...

No but seriously stop tugging my heart strings and switch my status to preparing for shipment!
 
You guys , let's get back to the subject and stop this . Geez people is not about who has more money and what not , let's talk about the Watch updates #

Who's the first person who is going to screenshot their "preparing for shipping "

Lol
 
I think the article is perfectly clear. MR caught wind that shipments are moving to distribution centers and will begin moving towards customers very soon, and that's all it's saying. What else do you want them to say?

"Apple continues to operate its supply chain as it does 365 days of the year. When individual orders are shipped, notifications will be sent by Apple."

...But that's harder to make people click on links for...

If you just read it, they updated it. Originally, it potentially read as if they had shipped.
 
What are we supposed to be looking at here? The kitty litter you ordered from Amazon?

Well, considering the arrival date, the weight, and the additional notification in change of delivery date from UPS from Thursday to Friday (just like my iPhone 6+ since Apple says no early deliveries), yeah I'd say i'm looking at my watch shipment.

Also, Kentucky is where my little iPhone 6+ originated as well!

Kentucky is UPS's big hub for international shipments. I know when I worked at UPS Canada all US bound packages went to Kentucky first.
 
Preparing for Shipment

I ordered an extra watch charger along with the Watch. The charger order status says "preparing for shipment." The watch order status says, "processing items." Both were ordered at 12:03 pacific on April 10.
 
First Wave of Apple Watches Begin Moving Ahead of Friday's Launch

Can you log into your apple account or apple App Store and take as seen shot? Where it shows from "preparing to ship to shipped?

Further the original poster is advocating spending five grand on a quartz watch! Even more scary is that Amazon.com are selling $2500 U-Boat watches for $599 right now! Sounds like a great investment.

Also, since when has Apple told you that you MUST leave all notifications on all the time? If you don't want distractions, turn them off. Kind of a no brainer.

Nah, unfortunately it still has processing order. But here's a delay message from UPS showing the originator as "Fulfillment Center." Clearly not Amazon.com shipment ;-)

Are there any reference numbers or anything in the tracking information? They usually show up once you log in (looks like you're a My Choice member).

Indeed. I didn't even address the notifications part of it. No point in arguing such things with people who are taking attitudes like that.
