Signing out of this thread until everybody who's whinging shuts up. It'll be here when it's here. I want mine as much as the next man but it said to me before I pressed buy "24/4-08/5". I made peace with that at the time and I suggest you all do too.

One love.
 
I'm pretty sure that most people who ordered within the first 10 minutes are right to think they should get their watch on Friday.

Not true at all

Yes true, it said when clicking order on that model.

I'm in the same boat as you darthbane2k but we knew what it said. It wasnt like Apple didnt want to sell as many as possible, they were making more of the others as all of the other sport models were a different colour. Just calm down

not when the estimated delivery dates were 24/4-8/5. It would be nice to get it on Friday but I have no expectation other than by the 8th of May.

Most sensible thing said on this thread today.
 

St Francis has been kind to you and your SS watch.

Yes I can. Tim Cook announced this thing as launching from 24th. All press and tv commercials said 24th.. some random 2 week window isnt good enough. I preorder within mins of the site going live, and something is seriously screwed up if I am going to be waiting into May for my watch. It is an absolute joke and I will be phoning Apple's exec office to complain about this. They had MONTHS to get this right - anyone could tell the 42mm space grey was going to be the most popular. Too much time wasted on designing custom bands for Beyonce than to focus on the actual market and what customers want.

No. I'm sorry but no. You can't legitimately say that "anyone could tell this one would be the most popular". That's based entirely on your own opinion and I'll guarantee a random poll taken before launch wouldn't have returned a 100% result for that model as it's an utterly subjective view. The window you've been given isn't random, it was set at the point of ordering and frankly if you weren't happy with that you shouldn't have ordered.

And ENOUGH with this utter nonsense about custom bands taking away from the mainstream watches. All that work would have been done by the design team after their work on the current Watch was finished and would have had minimal impact on production runs if any (wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that Apple have small scale productions for prototyping that'd be used for this sort of work).

Look, I understand being upset that you may not get your watch on launch day, I really do. It's frustrating as hell but Apple have been up front about this. If they'd changed the delivery date or missed the one you've been given you'd have all the right in the world to complain. Until then though... you're still talking about a grand total of a two week delay at worst which you were aware of at the time of placing the order.
 
The delivery dates were specified on the cart, maybe you didn't read that as you were too busy racing your order through to read it?

Yeah and racing it through within 3 mins still wasnt good enough. Like I said - for a company the size of Apple, this launch has been an absolute disaster.
Getting these things into all of their supportive enthusiasts' hands for day one should have been a priority over deciding what band would look the prettiest on the likes of Drake or Katy Perry.
 
Just got a pending charge and shipping status change on my 42mm SS BCB. Ordered at 8:10.

This is a relief as the same model but in 38mm was processed yesterday and ordered later at 8:11.

Shows there is no logic to how these are being processed. Don't worry guys, there is still hope yet if you haven't been charged.

Most of us will have our watches on Friday. I don't see that as a disaster at all.

Roll on Friday night when I order a bucket of chicken and sit back reading posts from the whingers who didn't get their watch on the very first day of a two week window.
