I called apple this morning to see if they could give me any additional information about my actual ship date (delivery window is May 13-27). I was told that my watch (42 mm SS, black sports band) would probably go out today or tomorrow from California with expedited shipping. That all sounded encouraging, but no action yet.
What time frame were you given?
Staying up till 3am and then being unable to go to sleep till 4:30, due to caffeine consumption, screwed my system over for a few days. Hope this is the last time Apple pulls one of these stupid midnight CA launches, but anyhow, doubt I'll ever do it again, because it still meant a 4 week delay.
I know many people who were born in the US, even for generations, from foreign ancestries, who still call themselves Italian, Spanish, etc. That doesn't make it "right" or "correct".
People may say they are not "American" to prevent confusion from those who may confuse someone born in the USA. Mostly because they are lazy, ignorant, or both.
The lack of respect for ones country, being proper in language, etc..., is causing this world to crumble. We are "dumbing" ourselves and the legal system, media, etc is excusing it.

Your's is invalid.
Someone from the USA, says they are from the US. Just like a person who is Peruvian is from Peru. A person saying they are American, who is from North or South America, is correct in their statement as well. A person from Brazil wouldn't say they are from Portugal because they aren't. Language spoken has nothing to do with the country. The US speaks multiple languages as well.

Very nice! Remind me again which one you are getting today? I've read so many blogs I can't remember. I'm in search of anyone getting the pink modern buckle.
Received my "Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Grey Aluminium Case with Black Sport Band" today, had shipping estimates between 12-26th may. Live in the UK.
Good to know, thanks for sharing.
Best to ignore any passive aggression from folks who haven't yet worked out how these forums work.
I feel bad for anyone who spent over 600$ for the Apple Watch. It's not but the novelty wears off fast. Like I told a friend the Apple Watch is like the iPad Mini and iPod Touch, it's there if you want one. It's not a must have/need device. It's a perfect fitness watch, but if you tend to wear designer watches learn fast that that Rolex is a lot nicer than a piece of tech on your wrist.

Speak for yourself. Who's to say what something is worth to anyone els? Maybe it isn't to you,doesn't mean it won't be or is for someone els. Also you don't NEED any device. These are all wants. You can get a blackberry from 6 years ago and make calls and text. But you WANT apps and a easier interface,Touch ID,iTunes....etc. and that's why you bought it.
My fiancée loves her iPad mini (so do others) she doesn't go to work without it. Now does it mean it's for everyone? No.,but it does mean,to each their own.

I hope I end up disagreeing with you, but only in a good way.
Despite my original purchase intentions, I ended up changing my mind on model & band on pre-order day, which ended up costing me a July estimated shipping date.
If I end up agreeing with you after waiting that long, I'm going to feel excruciatingly bad!
calm down.. just update everyone in 2-3wks of having it. And I am speaking for myself like many other have and can back up my thoughts. Its a great piece of tech but the novelty wears off fast. I use the fitness features more than anything on the watch. Everyone will have different experiences... And you're wrong with thinking your don't "Need" any device. A lot of devices are needed in everyday life (cellphone, computer, medical tech devices, etc.) just depends on your life and what's "needed" to sustain and keep it going.
my opinions on the watch are just that an opinion. friends ask if they should purchase one and I'm honest, it's cool but after about 2wks it wears off and its either a fitness watch or time piece. Enjoy your watch when it arrives but if you regular wear designer watches, post your feedback after about 2wks.
