I returned my 42mm space gray for the 42mm gold sport today. The store employee told me they hadn't arrived in store yet. I didn't believe him because I had already read post that people were taking delivery today, so I asked him to refund me with a store gift card, which he did. I told him that I had Apple care on the watch I was returning, so he said it would be best to hold onto my space gray watch till they had the gold ones in store so that I could just transfer the Apple care to the new watch. I now believe he told me that so I'd go past my return date. I drove home and went online and saw that the watch was indeed available in that particular store, so I ordered it with the gift card. When I got my pick up text and email, I drove back to the exact same store and asked to speak to the manager. I let him know how unhappy I was that I was lied to. He told me that the cooperate office had ordered them to tell everyone that the watches weren't in yet. He said they had to tell me that until they were ready to release them. I knew he was blowing smoke up my ass but I was tired and just wanted my watch so I could go home. He did give me a free sport band of my choice for my trouble. I was refunded the cost of my Apple care because they said that because the watch is so new, their system wouldn't let them add it at that time. They refunded that onto a gift card so I could buy the Apple care later. So that's my gold watch story.
