I guess I'll be back in the waiting game pretty soon....

I just noticed my Apple Watch Sport in Space Gray has some minor scratches. They aren't really scratches, more like really really small dots where the coating is damaged. It's really just 2 or 3 of them right at the corner of the screen and they are so small you can barely see them. They don't bother me too much, but I'm afraid the coating could peel off further. Especially with everyday factors like air moisture or moisture in general. If there are already small gaps in the coating it will be easy for this stuff to get beneath the coating and further damage it.

Think I'll have to return it, but I don't want to wait months for a new one :(

Called Apple on Tuesday to ask for a solution. They originally wanted me to return my watch before they'd send me a new one, but I said that I wouldn't want to wait another few weeks for a replacement. He offered me to talk to a supervisor in Ireland and after a few minutes he told me I'd get a new watch first before I'd have to send the old one back.

Got a shipping notification today, I'll get my replacement tomorrow :)

On another note: my black sport band started wearing down after just one day. One day! :(
Anyone else having the same problem? Think I'll have to call the Apple Support again....
 
Got some update today, but still available for ship in June

It was this evening. I've checked it today about 5pm and it was "processing items" just now it stand "PFS".

I've ordered my watch on 27. April

Seems like they got some more 42mm White because others in UK also got espicially this watch pfs
 
Mine is also on the way from prague, guess ours could be on the same Truck. Mine's going to Düsseldorf area. Yours?

Mine's going to Hamburg ;)
I hope we get our Watches on Friday, although Apple tracking still states 18th May. DHL site says "Departed Facility in PRAGUE - CZECH REPUBLIC, THE" so maybe they will get to the local hub overnight and be out for delivery tommorow.

wow! is that "normal" for the SS? I know that the AWS SG 42 takes ages and is still stuck at June

Glad the wait is over, now let's wait and see if this gadget will be useful :)

I love how everyone in here discusses and talks in perfect english. If this was an "Order Thread for Spain" it would be an absolute disaster or it would be mainly in spanish.

lol i can even picture it.

"Que?"

waiting impatiently for the UPS guy to ring

Do you think there will be a wave over the weekend or no movement till monday again?
 
Also "Out for delivery". Waiting for the UPS guy.... It feels like hell, because the UPS guy runs twice through in front of my working place.

I checked it twenty times a day and it always said "June", never had a precise timeframe, i didn't changed to Preparing For Shipment (i had checked it an hour before the email came in) out of nowhere i just got the mail that it has been shipped.

Yes, Hamburg.
Well, i ordered April.10, but i chose "Überweisung"(which is the dumbest thing one could ever do), so i only received the confirmation mail on April.14 at 19:23

Did you chose the exact same model? And when did you order?
