I ordered two Apple Watches almost immediately after pre-orders opened online and on the Apple Store iOS app. They arrived yesterday.
Having now received two invoices and knowing there was no more than a 10 second gap between the two orders, if invoices are numbered sequentially, taking the difference between them it's possible to deduce that orders were running at around 4500 per minute to start with.
If that's correct, then it's possible that maybe 1/4 million watches were ordered in the first hour alone.
Obviously there'd have been other orders for non-Watch based stuff mixed in there, but that still looks like a pretty good number.
Anyone else got figures for different times after pre-orders opened? You'll need to have ordered two or more watches separately and have had them delivered of course.
Just take the lower invoice number off the larger one, work out roughly how long it took you between ordering them and calculate from that an approximate order volume for the time your order went in...
