Mine is slatted for a June shipment.I understand the frustration of those who can't get a watch until May or June.
With that out of the way, does anyone agree that the preorder method allows more watches to get into the hands of fanatics and early adopters?
We knew the watch would sell out at some point, and removing the uncertainty of waiting overnight in line sounds like a good thing.
Why arbitrarily hold some back just to disappoint customers who wait at stores, to find the model they want it sold out?
So they sold out during the preorder, they are certainly making the watches as fast as possible.
Anyway, there seems to be a lot of complaints about how this launch was handled. Who else thinks this was logistically the best option?
TL;DR:
Who thinks everything's is going to be ok?

Most customers don't buy products the minute it's released just obsessed Apple fans do that. Smart consumers wait and see if it's worth it. If the Apple watch proves itself the masses will come and that's when Apple really starts raking in the cash.

People don't like to be inconvenienced and have become masters of feigning outrage when those minor inconveniences happen.
Just my opinion as always.
its interesting that people were complaining about the fact they can't try on before ordering.
as an aussie i was able to. it still didn't make a difference to me.

I think that only having online pre-orders was the correct decision.
What I think was wrong were the mixed messages and indecisive information coming from Apple prior to the 10th. They should also have had the demo watches in store weeks before pre-orders went live so people could see and try them before they had to commit their choice to order.
