I'm angered beyond means. I've waited long enough for this watch and even stayed late at night to order it at crack of 3am. Got my email confirmation at 3:04am and I thought I was part of the first batch. Now I get that ******** email we're working on your order. It better not be a ******** move not getting me my watch on Friday because I'll be pissed. Why would the people who ordered it late get "bumped" earlier than expected while people like us who stayed late get delayed? What a slap in the face. I'm contemplating returning this thing for pure anger at this point.

I'm also mad that people who ordered later are already preparing for shipment

Vote with your wallet, return it, but we (& Apple) know you won't.

Why return it. Sell it for a profit. Apple doesn't like scalpers so be one....plus you get compensated for staying up "late."

I'm pretty unhappy as well, but you know people are just going to mock you or making this thread, right?

The truth is, there's nothing we can do. They have our money. They have a lot of peoples' money. And they got enough peoples' orders out on launch day that the next product they launch will sell out just as fast.

Yea but negative publicity would demolish that in a heartbeat... Trust me buddy they don't want that.
 
Cancel button is still at your disposal. I'm pissed too, but I don't think anything we will do matters.

I'll make them do the heavy lifting first. Canceling the order just makes it simple for them. I'm not rewarding this horrid behavior.

What are you going to punish Apple for? They told you from jump it was coming between 4/24 - 5/8. You knew that and ordered the watch anyway.

Everyone else wants you to cancel because it pushes them up in the line.

Please do.

Apple never promised you a launch day delivery. do what if they find a way to deliver someone else's watch earlier but not yours - get over it. They only owe you what they promised you, which so far they have not broken.

Just calm down, you knew when you ordered it that there was a chance it might not be delivered on the 24th. I honestly feel for you, but trying to hurt Apple by selling the watch just to make a point seems irrational. Why would they notice or care? (Not trying to be insensitive) If I were you, I would just wait for it to get here, leave negative feedback with Apple about the experience, and move on with my new watch. The only person who will be impacted negatively by selling the watch is you. Hope it gets to you soon. (Could still be Friday ;) )

Have you been living under a rock this whole time? The Apple Watch got NOTHING but bad press. Everyone said it was too expensive, useless, no one would buy it, no one would need it. The reviews were lukewarm... and BAM massive hit.

A few people complaining about not getting their orders on launch day will do absolutely nothing to stop that.

I'm not stupid, canceling is far too easy. I have an idea in mind to add salt to the wounds.

But simple customer service is first in first out... Not first in last out.
