Oh the irony...

So I got my apple watch on launch day, but all along my wife had been holding out. Finally, a couple of weeks ago she decided to do a try on session in the store and she realized that she did want an apple watch. So on 4/28 we placed an order for a 38mm sport WSB. Originally it said "June" for the arrival date and last week it started saying "June 1 - June 12", but we were hoping it would arrive sooner.

I was on craigslist last night and saw someone selling a 38mm sport WSB for only $400, which was only about $25 more than I was going to pay for the watch and taxes from apple anyway, so I figured it was worth spending a little more to get the watch earlier.

The guy lived about 45 minutes away from me, so it was a bit of a drive, but I went and picked up the watch this afternoon. As soon as I got home I went online to cancel the order I had with apple and found out that between the time I left and the time I got back it had been charged and was preparing for shipping. I'll probably get the watch on Monday now.

All I can do is laugh about it. At least I didn't pay too much of a premium to save 3 days

On the bright side, you can now turn around and sell the one Apple is sending you and recoup the gas for the trip

Yup you can always sell that watch or refund

Oh man. Your 4/28 switched last night? That makes me hopefully. I have a 5/5 38 Sport WSB with the same June timeframe. Hopefully I get mine in that shipment. But probably not, still in processing #

It switched today, actually... It was still processing when I checked it this morning.

For what it’s worth, I saw someone post that their 4/24 38 sport WSB shipped last week friday, so that means they moved four days in a week, but hopefully they got fewer orders each day as time went on so you may get lucky next week

Yeah, I'm not to concerned. Since I don't have one at all now, I don't have anything to be missing so no big deal.

I won't get mad unless I don't get the watch delivered by 6/12
