June deliveries, share your pain and suffering here.

[gppittjk]

I'd assume since you haven't been charged yet, then it doesn't count as time. Technically you haven't purchased anything, your just in a digital line to buy one.

Ohh good point. Hadn't thought of that. Puts my mind at ease hahaha. Thanks!

Frustrating how different the ship times are for different bands.

Ordered my SS with BLL on April 11th - Delivery in June. Yesterday it changed to a window of June 25 - July 2.

Anyone know how solid that window is? Still holding out hope I'll receive mine sooner.

Anyone else have the same window as me? Which band did you order?

AC doesn't kick in until it ships.

Just thought of something:

I ordered 4/30, and I planned to just bring the watch to the Apple Store to get AC+ when I received it. I have 60 days from the date of purchase to add AC+. If Apple misses the mark and delivers 6/30, that would be 61 days. Would they allow me to add AC+ given that I hadn't even had the device in the 60-day window?

 

[daydayvol]

Mine updated overnight as well. I can only assume people who ordered on 4/11 will get theirs much sooner than those ordering at the end of April.

we can only hope

email I sent today to Apple PR contact



Hello Josh,

I'm an Apple customer since the 1980's, yes, my first Apple product was the Apple IIe.

Nearing 60, I purchased my Apple Watch on April 30th, and according to my Order information, it will take approx. 2 months from order date for it to arrive.

I follow the chatter on several Apple Forums, and customers are not happy about these very lengthy delivery times. These are the truly Apple faithful, by the way.

A source of frustration by many is that there is no word from Apple on this issue.

People understand it's a new product with many permutations, but expect better from Apple and at least better communications about this matter.

I come from the business world and I agree that Apple communications to customers around this issue are lacking.

Hope that can be rectified soon.

Thanks

Whenever someone orders a watch, they are placed in line for that particular model build. Due to the supply chain, not every model is produced at the exact same time. Supply has still not caught up with demand, but Apple is working very hard to make it the best they can be. Everyone's complaints towards Apple comes across as whining. Please stop whining. Apple is doing everything they can to deliver the model of your choice as quickly as they can.

JUNE status changed to date range!

Today when I checked my order which was placed on April 15th — it gave me a range of JUN 22nd - JUNE 29th.

Might as well just say JULY!

I'm disappointed with the update, but I'll hold on and be patient - especially since I waited until the end of April to make up my mind. I knew my ship window was June, and though I hoped for the best I will accept anything in June.

However, if orders could be delivered faster, but won't in order to ramp up production to stock the stores at the expense of those who have already ordered, I'm out. People who ordered the same model I did just a few days before me received their orders this week. My rudimentary idea of the supply chain would suggest that my order should be getting pretty close to shipment.

If word comes out that Apple is targeting mid-June for stocking the stores, I'll be upset, and I'll cancel. I understand that they are a business and need product in stores in order to really push it, but I'd feel let down enough to cancel my order.

Yeah the stocking of stores prior to receiving my preorder would definitely be my jumping off point as well.

I am entitled to my opinion just as you are entitled to yours. I may sound like whining to you and you may sound like a sycophant to me but regardless we are all entitled to vent on a public forum. Please stop telling people what to think.

There is good news and bad news with this. People who ordered a week later are in the same time frame. That would lead me to believe that Apple expects everything to be caught up by then. You may actually get your watch earlier.

Still, I feel for you, having to wait as long as those who ordered much later.

 

[mpike78]

i am sure mine will be out for delivery the same day the store starts selling them.

 

[mostman]

Honestly - someone tell me what they should have done instead. There are really only two options - 1) stop taking orders immediately when current supply was exhausted 2) build a giant stock pile of watches and then start taking orders. Folks understand why both of these are insane, right?

I'm still just seeing a June window for a 42 SS Blue LL ordered on 26/4. So you've just filled me with dread, will not be happy with July as I would have made a different decision if I'd known that when ordering.

 

[Summit62]

SS with black classic buckle ordered April 11, early AM.

Originally June, changed to June 22 - June 29 yesterday. Talked to support yesterday after 2 calls were dropped by them, support had no further info, so no help there. Really disappointed at how poorly this launch was handled.

I ordered the same watch, seen the same change yesterday as well. I placed my order on 4/14, a couple days after you. Before the delivery status changed to a specified window time, I was really hoping for early June..... Does look like its going to happen.

 

[KPOM]

so you don't think it was Apple's decision to launch a product without enough inventory to even come close to covering demand? It may not even have been the wrong decision, but they decided to launch knowing they wouldn't be able to ship a significant amount of their models right away.

They had some models ready for delivery. What is shipping late are models that apparently they had production issues with (space black, modern buckle, etc.), and were upfront when the pre-orders began that those would ship much later. I was deciding between the space black, and the regular stainless steel back in April, and because the regular stainless steel with classic band was shipping sooner chose to get that one.

I'd much prefer Apple to ship out product that they have than to hold up orders just so everyone who pre-ordered would get theirs at the same time, which apparently people seem to suggest they should have done.

 

[Appl3FTW]

And I'm still just seeing July. Sigh.

you're in my thoughts brotha.. haha

Placed our order about 4am EST, went straight to June (and still processing).

[mrbrown]

Ordered SG 42mm April 12, was "June" delivery date until today.

Now shows June 22-29.

My co-worker managed to get two SG 42mm watches - one for his wife and the other for himself, which were delivered yesterday. Have no idea how that happened.

 

[wit4breakfast]

Ordered SG 42mm April 16th.

"June" changed to June 22-29 delivery window.

 

[Henry54]

Ordered mine on April 17th!! Finally got a window from June 22 to June 29. Do you guys think I'll get it any sooner than that?

42mm SG BSB ordered on April 17th. Changed overnight to "Delivers: 22 June 2015 - 29 June 2015.

I'm just glad I have an update!

 

[WinterWolf90]

My 42mm grey sport is at the end of June as well :/. I ended up canceling my first pick which was the space black steel since I couldn't justify spending that much on it and I didn't get it until July anyway. The 38mm grey sport will ship faster it seems but I'm thinking the 42 will fit better so the waiting game begins.

42mm SG Sport

Order Date: April 12th
Original: June

Updated:
Available to ship: 5-6 weeks
Delivers: June 22 - 29

... I hope there is more improvement. This wait has taken a lot of the excitement away from me. Everyday I consider cancelling and waiting for the 2nd Gen out of frustration. It wouldn't be so bad if the other models weren't shipping sooo much faster. Co-worker ordered a 38mm White Sport on April 24th and got his yesterday. I am an original fan boy, but this wait has tested me to the core lol

 

[ericrall]

shipping estimation today!

so close...
