First Wave of Apple Watches Begin Shipping Ahead of Friday's Launch

[darcspyd3r]

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 ;-)

Ahh hell! False alarm, my wife ordered something from Kate Spade. And the waiting game continues...

Yeah, I was pretty excited until she asked if her shipment was coming!

You have no source. Tired of MR articles intending to get ad-clicks.

If you look closely, it is a close-up shot (so vary bad aspect ratio) showing the embossed "watch" logo.

You could be right and it's just the camera angle.

I figured as much. Apple has always shipped launch day products that they make a big deal of with an official launch day, such as the iPhones, iPad's, etc, with UPS Next Day Air for me. Also, the shipper should be something like, "AI" for Apple Incorporated, or have Apple in its name. Just looking at my UPS My Choice records, thats how its always been.

Nothing changed for me Still says 4/24/15 - 5/8/15.

It looks so credible with the weight, delay notification, and just fulfillment center.
I also should have known considering I ordered two and there was only one notice. I'm pretty sure they were separate orders.

Just have to wait until Wednesday probably.

 

[whatos]

Bleh. Saw the headline and immediately went to check my order. Disappointment followed.

This has been a LONG 2 weeks ��...

I believe this may very well be a carefully crafted leak to soften the blow of long delays for some.

Haptic feedback problems have been reported as one reason they may experience longer delays than originally thought.

The Apple Watch project continues to be the source of very interesting headlines.

This is for you Apple:

good luck beta testers


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

And if it wasn't for us "beta testers", there probably wouldn't ever be a v2, assuming there will be.

Perhaps you should be thanking us instead of ridiculing us.

Yeah but I could post an article entitled "New iPhone 7 revealed" and have an article that says "our trusted sources say" and that doesn't make it right to post, since it's just trying to get click-throughs to make ad revenue.

I ordered mine and then scheduled a try on appointment. Was disappointed. Really thought the appointment was going to be a lot more informative about the features and such. Instead it was just a try it on and see how it looks. I really thought it would be a truly interactive demo and such. Instead the demo watch they let me try on was pretty much non functional, even the stuff it was supposed to let you do, didn't work. very sad :-(

Did your local store not have demo units available you could play with?

 

[KauaiBruce]

It's human nature. It makes us feel better about ourselves.

REALLY? It makes you feel better to poop on other peoples excitement? So sad.

But the real problem is that people assume so-called "Apple hater" as an Android(or other platform) users. Most people on this site(including myself) own atleast 1 Apple products. And we, as a consumer, have every right to judge and complain about the products we use or buy. Just like what you stated above, i dont care if Sony or Microsoft F up their new product. Because i have no interest in them. But when the youtube video of iPhone Bendgate showed up? I went furious. Because i actually paid couple thousand dollars to buy 4 iPhone 6 Plus.

If you think people who complains about apple products are just other platform users who has too much free time going around Apple forum, you are right to be called isheep.(in a bad way)

I'm not talking about complaining - i'm talking about ridiculing and mocking. I have no issue with an intelligent conversation about Apple products - good and bad.

I can't wait for iPhone rumors again lol

Heh, me too. Getting pretty bored with these endless articles about a product I don't even want. But I do fully appreciate that MacRumors cannot possibly cater their articles purely to ones I personally would like to see. Although being able to filter out articles sounds like a possible future feature of this site!

Revenue's gotta come from somewhere.

In other news, I WANT MY APPLE WATCH.

 

[Jetfire]

Your Order.​

Still isn't ready.
So, stop refreshing or we'll cancel it​

Lmao

 

[KauaiBruce]

Agreed - I don't get it. I rarely go to the Android sites - and I would never write a post to their boards mocking them. They like their products and I have no problem with that. In what way does that hurt my life?? Only someone with tons of free time on their hands and a hatred of EVERYTHING does stuff like that.

I would head to one if I was curious about whether I wanted an Android product but would never post there saying I feel too superior to buy their product if I did not want it.

I am certain that most of the naysayers are putting the Apple Watch down because they just cannot afford it and it helps them justify their inability to get one. They MUST be curious or they would not haunt the boards.

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.

There were 4 watches on display for customers to play with (separate from the display case) - all had people using them.

What was interesting is someone asked what the difference in internals were between the Watch, the Sport and the Edition.

Yeah, I appreciate hearing all rumors as this is a rumors site. Especially the crazy ones from you know, the financial analysts!

Mine now says "processing items".

What did the status say before? I can't remember. Was it "your order is being processed"?

Sure mine has always said 'Processing items'. I've ordered a Milanese Loop strap not scheduled for delivery until June and that says the same as my Apple Watch.

Sorry!
