Like it says, please respond if you have actually received a third watch.

Also respond if you have received your 2nd watch and have a 3rd in limbo.

Testing a theory. I have received

- 38mm SS WSB
- 38mm Sport BSB

Have a

- 38mm SS BCB on order, been pending since 4/30/15. Got it cancelled by Apple, then reinstated by Tim Cook (via Exec Relations). Got a Payment issue email 05/02 - 12pm, Updated at 12:35. No movement yet.

Lots of people with 38mm SS BCB have seen movement and ordered AFTER me. Wondering if there is a rhyme or reason to the timing.

Please state if you used a single or multiple Apple IDs.

Cheers!
 
I have but I ordered it from a different apple ID with different CC
 
We ordered 3 on the night of the preorders within the first half hour. All 3 have now arrived as of Friday of last week. But for a long time we worried about one order being randomly canceled by Apple because at the time several people reported that Apple randomly canceled one out any multiple order that exceeded 2 going to the same billing/shipping address.

We had ours ordered on the same Apple ID and debit card. One was for me, one was for my husband, and one was for his sister.

For me, its a mothers day present for the Mother in Law. Not sure if others have a family, children, girlfriend their wife doesn't know about, etc?
 
Ordered 2 on April 10. Then ordered a 3rd one on April 28.

The first 2 have arrived. The one ordered on 4/28 is still processing.

All 3 on same CC and Apple ID.

Order 3 at preorder because I had no idea which one I wanted since Apple had try on appointments after preorder... weird

4th - because I wanted to see if I could actually get one to ship on the same day I ordered. No idea what I will do with it. Return or resell.

3 of them were preorders and then I recently ordered the 38MM SS BCB to see if I would really get an instant ship like others have posted here. Not sure what I am going to do with it. :)

So you ordered it to see if you'd get instant shipping and now you have no idea what to do with it? Sorry, but that's weird behavior.

Multiple family members.

I've received 2 (me and husband) on launch day.

Ordered a 38mm SS WSB for son's birthday. It was slow and I got concerned about delivery hold ups, so I ordered the 38mm BCB. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow. We'll have to see if it arrives, is in good working order, and my son likes it before figuring out whether or not to cancel the 38mm SS WSB, as that was his first choice. That watch is still "processing."

Also have a 38mm Green Sport "processing" for my daughter.

All same Apple ID. 2 different credit cards.

I wish I had that kinda dough just laying around...
 
A story from down under:

After having 4(!) watches simultaneously on order I cleaned out this morning and canceled 2.

Reading today that the 38SS BSB ships more or less straight of the bat I ordered this one as well just now. But after putting a hold for the full amount on my cc Apple decided to cancel it and send me this email:

We could not complete your order.
Order Status: Wxxxxxxxxxx

Dear Apple Customer

Thank you for your recent Apple Online Store purchase.

We are unable to process your order as it exceeds the quantity limits per customer.

As a result, we've cancelled your order and you will not be charged. We will request for an authorization reversal within 3 business days.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for shopping with Apple.

Apple Store

Seems like they are changing policies and tactics and processes like other people their underwear.

ordered 5 with same C.C and ID. got 3 on launch day and the other 2, 2 days after.

Biggest regret was not ordering more lol.

second regret is selling all 5 for profit.. But my reasoning is simple. Im too attached to my phone right now. I check FB and IG constantly to distract myself from depression symptoms. Having the watch would only encourage being connected and checking stuff.


Its a huge bummer =-/, but did it for my own good.
 
Ordered a total of 7 watches within the first 15 mins of 4/10. 1 space grey 42mm sport, 1 white 38mm sport and 5 42mm white sport, all using the same Apple ID, same card, same delivery address.

38mm white sport was canceled by apple on 4/10
The rest all shipped, received all 5 white sports on 4/27
Received the last space grey one this morning which I will be keeping for myself ;)

I'm not sure if your seeing a dr but checking your phone constantly will INCREASE depression!

Good point. The activity tracker on the Apple watch might actually help with depression. Set a daily goal, and go for a walk. Leave your phone at home. ;)

Actually, I find the reverse to be true. My watch causes me to check my phone less.

Just trying to get over an ex.. Not sure why I'm so attached to my phone? Maybe the thought of her calling... She wasn't good for me and did me wrong in too many ways. Yet I'm stuck here like an idiot. Couldn't even enjoy my ****ing Apple Watch.

Whatever, made some extra money for vegas i guess :)
