This is BS btw. Nobody has to take USED stuff back. If they do so, it's simply being nice of the them.
Just pretend the return policy would be like that: You order soccer shoes online, play 1-2 games and return it since you don't like it?! Ridiculous.
Correct.

"14 days to withdraw when purchasing goods
In the EU, for contracts concluded as of 13 June 2014, you have the right to withdraw from your online purchase as well as from purchases made elsewhere than in shops (e.g. from a salesman on your doorstep; by phone or mail order) within 14 days.
This “cooling off” period expires 14 days after the day you received your goods. However, if this period expires on a non-working day, your deadline is extended till the next working day." ....
"Warning!
Please note that you may not use goods that you have received before deciding to withdraw from the purchase. The right to withdraw exists to allow you to examine the product in the same way as you would in a shop, not to give you 14 days free use.
Be aware also that more specific rules apply to digital content (e.g. downloading or streaming music or video)."
That being said, most places will take back an opened product provided it is still in a re-saleable condition, maybe with a restocking fee. Apple is very generous in its return policies, which also accounts a bit for the higher prices. You can return any product within 14 days even if used, provided original package and delivered accessories etc are included.

Nike let's u do exactly that for 30 days. u can wear them, they can even get dirty. someone I know has been doing it on 5 models so far. people have no shame
anyway thanks and sorry for hijacking the threat
Hope that will happen too! But indeed I expect this to happen around the same time as yesterday.
By the way people, if you haven't seen your status being changed by 22:00 (German time of course), it doesn't mean your Apple Watch is not being prepared for shipping. Last night, about 01:30 (yeah, I should sleep more haha) I still saw some movement by some people. Not particularly for German orders, but still.
Anyway, let's see who's in for 'preparing for shipping' today!

What makes you think that, if I may ask? I mean, you should consider that we're not in the pre-order phase anymore. Last week, indeed no other statuses would have changed after tuesday. I do think statuses will keep being updated throughout the rest of this week, considering that we're not into that pre-order phase anymore.
Uhhm, it really doesn't actually..
People who received their orders already, got their orders shipped or at least prepared for shipping are less likely to participate in the poll. The ones who have not yet seen a change in their status are probably most interested in participating. I don't think you can draw any conclusions about the current general state of orders shipped / preparing for shipment. The spreadsheet is only good to check how others in your group (model, order time etc.) are doing and to check what their current status is.
how long did it say "preparing for shipment" before it said "shipped"?
My watch is on "Versand wird vorbereitet" since last evening...
Anyone knows how long ir keeps the status "preparing for...
