Just remember that *most* (over 50% of) people were able to get a launch day delivery. Those in the latter part of the 4/24–5/8 window were too slow to purchase. These people are getting Watches that will only be manufactured in the coming weeks, whereas most of us are receiving Watches that were manufactured several months ago.

The watches that were manufactured "several months ago" (in other words three or more months ago) were pro-types. None of those are shipping to customers. Apple and in fact no company these days makes product that far in advance and stockpiles it. Three months ago the software wasn't even close to done. Maybe Apple ramped into full production and stockpiling a full month ago. But I doubt they stockpiled for more than six weeks.

Though I don't agree with it for 100%, I do find it funny. Gotta love that poster.

And after all, it's good to have a laugh about this kind of things. Even if you don't agree with it.

Well then, this has been a terrible launch hasn't it! Just as an unrelated note though, BestBuy in Canada now carries the base model in stores. Go figure...

This launch isn't a failure ... I will agree that it hasn't been a very smooth launch.

This is mac rumors and no launch is every smooth here. <insert apple product here> and everyone will always claim it was the worst launch in Apple history and that heads should roll because Apple is deliberately withholding supply of <insert apple product here> from them.

If it doesnt' get them into the hands of people how can you consider that moving millions of units? That's selling millions of units but not moving. Two different things. Did Apple sell a ton of watches, Sure. Did they move a ton? No.

But they are going to be moving. A successful launch only entails in fulfilling every order on launch day? Not in modern manufacturing practices...
