Ahhh man I had a SS S4 delivered on release day and all was good but my screen scratched WAY to easily. I’ve had a SS S0 for 3.5 years and the screen is still immaculate

The good news is Apple took responsibility for my S4 (good work, Apple!)

The bad news is I’ve ordered my replacement but it’s not due till 12th November! Keeping an eye on iStockNow with notifications also but over the last 3-4 days nothing has appeared, the shortage is real!

Ps I’m from UK

I have a similar story. Got up at 4am on launch day and scored a 44 SS model. Wore it for a few days and then noticed a small dent (tiny, the size of a pen tip) right at the edge of the steel next to the screen. Not a scratch for sure since buffing did nothing. Have had SS models since Series 0 and never had such an issue. Took it back to Apple Store and they weee great and did a return. But now I’m stuck looking for a replacement.
 
I was on holiday in Melbourne, Australia and found them pretty easy to get in the end. First day, no stock, but at the Apple Store and other retailers they said they're coming in every few days in dribs and drabs. I picked up a SS SB 42mm and a SS 42mm on day 2 of trying at the Apple Store. The aluminium was hard to find though.

Couldn't you have done a warranty replacement on the spot? I'm sure at this point the white box replacements are new as well.
 
How is stock on silver SS models (specifically 44mm)? Still waiting on B&H to get out of backorder so my preorder can ship.

From my experience.. there is almost 0 stock of SS 44mm unless you want a Hermes edition - I’m referring to Apple stores tho not other retailers but I don’t think they have any stock either.

I’m waiting on a replacement SS 44mm white sports band.

That’s what I’m waiting on too. No idea when we’ll get them but they seem to have radically underestimated the number of SS they were going to sell.

They pop up pretty often and I got lucky there was one nearby. There’s one now

I hate the BEst Buy website. What a bunch of misleading nonsense. Gives me the option to add to cart, then says "It's not within 250 miles from you
Thanks! I see it too but it says it isn’t within 250 miles of me lol

Seriously, what's with Best Buy teasing me like this! It has an "Add To Cart" button...but.
NO! DENIED!! Should have known that was too good to be true. :eek::confused:

Yeah I tried the same thing, I don’t understand why it shows up if it cannot be shipped. Oh well, at least we tried!

This is happened to me as well. One time I placed an order, The order actually was successful, but then I later received an email within the hour stating that my order was canceled because the product was actually _not_ available. Best Buy needs to correct their logistics with their computer models what they actually have available and what they don’t.

Wow! I'd be pretty unhappy with that email haha
 
I've been too Cumberland yesterday and Perimeter today even as soon as they opened and nothing. Ugh

Lenox had the 44 Gold SS and SBSS for a minute. By late morning, they only had the 40mm SBSS available. I was hoping they'd get some regular SS watches in too sine they had the other two varieties in. *Sigh*
 
Grrrr Black SS 44mm at Dayton Apple Store.... 2.5 hours from my house!! Tempting but I need SS!!!!!!!
