Depends. If you 8 year old is extremely excited about this Apple Watch launch then it's cool. If you wanted to go and try to buy one and had to wake up your 8 year before the sun came up because you were the one watching him, then fail.

Its a fail to me. School day is more important.
 
Drove up from San Diego last night.

I initially planned to show up at 6am, but I decided to check the line at around 10pm, and saw the huge line...

Next thing I know.. I decided to camp out.. and here I am, 47 minutes before opening. Stoked to get my watch! (42mm SS w/ the White Sport Band)
 
That sounds like such a sad statement. It's the only store in the entire U.S. that will be selling Watches on launch day.

Wish I could go down there and see how long the line is, but the hour journey down the 10 isn't worth it at this hour. :p Hopefully it doesn't drizzle down there, NWS has it pegged at a 20% chance. And it's only 59 degrees. I'd be bundled up lol.

Sent from my cosy bed, awaiting the delivery later today of my 42mm SG Sport.

Anyone living outside of Los Angeles will not quite understand the power of your statement about the 10 freeway. Quite happy to be driving 15 minutes to the UPS customer center in Gardena this morning!! (Avoiding said traffic and condescension for walking down Rodeo Drive in jeans, a t-shirt, and flops)

Well... Prepare to be disappointed. They will probably have a very limited supply and range of models. How many people are ahead of you?
 
Guy next to me in line just did a quick count and said there were roughly 180 people in line. We're wrapped all the way around the block and starting to trickle onto Robertson
 
They told me that they had some of each version.

I thought I saw at least a couple pallets by the guy who took the video of the shipment unloading.

I was going to go but there probably is a two per person limit so everyone in line would be X2 plus their relatives who somehow show up close to opening time.

But yes, when I called them the other day, they're confident to have a few models and a few quantities each.

They told me yesterday it was one per person

Except for Fashion Island...

Huh?
 
They're handing out the tickets. Seem to be giving one per person. Hopefully somebody can report if the last guy in line gets one/or if they run out.

Did they tell you if they had what you wanted? About how many people have gotten tickets so far?
 
I have a ticket. They're standard carnival/raffle tickets and they said these are the order you're let into the store only, not a guarantee of a watch.

What time can you claim it? Did you tell them the model you want?
