A few thoughts on the experience:
The line took around seven hours to go thru.
They were giving away the numbered tickets and even were angry on the "Chinese cut" type of people coming to the ones that were in line already.
There were scalpers buying tons of phones and bringing all of them to a "mothership".
The stock was almost no SS 42mm models. They ran out very fast.
The sport 42 mm was no black models at all, then white ended, then blue, then green.
The 38 mm lasted longer but also started running away. First SS was out, still were plenty of sport left.
They said they going to have stock for now on every day with no specific data on when they getting those restocked and with what.
That's about it.
they were not willing to say "daily", however what they said was they are going to sell non-stop with not knowing when exactly coming new stock and what it would be consisting of.
I didn't ask specifically for tomorrow, but what I heard - they are going to sell EVERY day now.
No problem, I bet they would have some for sure. You can call them also to reassure if you plan to go there.
They have all these watches for this place but what about the people who woke their butts up to preorder.. apple forget about them?
I hope that's the case. I hope they'll have some midweek and I'll have to call off work. The more days go by the more people will lose interest and the less people knowing about it. At least I hope.
Thanks!!
It's one store in the entire country that's getting a few hundred a day at most (the equivalent of about 3-4 per Apple retail store in the U.S.). Apple's own stores will get stocked in a few weeks. Most of the pre-orders that haven't already shipped will ship over the next few weeks, as well.
Also thinking about it.
When I spoke to them they said they'd also have more stock next week, not sure if that meant the weekdays or next weekend.

Confirmed they're getting a few hundred per day?
Maybe it's worth calling today once they open to get a read on what's going on/if there's a line again.
Don't know, just guessing. I live 2000 miles away and already have my Apple Watch.
Agree. Very strange launch and as an Apple fan very disheartening. Wonder if all this weird malarkey is the Burberry women's idea!
