Massive Stainless Steel Unavailability

[Aluminum213]

Are these parody accounts that are saying they didn’t have the patience so they splurged even more on those laughably expensive Hermès models?

Wow

Well, the nearest Apple Store to me just got the SS model I've been watching. Funny thing is, it appeared on the Apple site before it did on iStockNow. I'll make the trip tonight to pick it up!

Seems plenty of availability is coming up. Just got some for my brother in South Central US. istocknow has the most green I have seen in weeks.

Depends where you are. Not seen any 44SS in Seattle in forever.

Just managed to order one for pickup as well! Finally the wait is over (if nothing goes wrong) lol.

Keep watching today. Seems like the stock is slowly rolling in from the east. It didn't appear for me until about 15 minutes after 10am.

Thanks. Doubt it happens. I signed up on istocknow on September 30, with multiple stores. Absolutely zero 44mm SS.

SS 44 is still available in Queens center and SOHO for those in NYC and are interested.

Also, it's best to check Apple's App for availability.

Don’t think it makes a difference if you use app or website, surely?

No it doesn't, I'm comparing it to the istocknow site mentioned in this thread. I've found that site can be minutes to hours behind sometimes.

You never know. This was the first 44mm SS of any model to hit this particular Apple Store since launch. I was caught off guard when I saw it was available.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed. I think I’m done with waiting on B&H. So much for my 12:01am order there!

I agree with this. iStockNow is still showing the model I bought as being available at the store I bought it from, even though it's been well over an hour now since I paid for it. Not the case from the Apple site, it dropped almost immediately. Nearest available to me now is Boise. It took it nearly an hour to pop up on iStockNow at that location.

Yep I see Boise has both sizes. Road trip!

 

[rwilliams]

Dammit, the model I want is an hour away, but I can't break away from work and I already have plans tonight.

LA here. Checking istocknow and it looks like they're working their way west maybe.

Maybe. Hopefully the Watch gods smile upon us today.

Another reason I didn’t bother with istocknow

Think through the logistics. You posted your reply at 9AM local time. FedEx typically in the South Central does not deliver to Apple until 10 or 11. In fact, the stores did not start popping up with inventory until 11:15 or 11:30AM.

So yes, it is not surprising to me that you were not seeing any at 9AM local Seattle time. Patience.

I’m not good at that these days.
