How so?

Wishy washy two week commit windows, people placing later orders getting processes before earlier ones? How is ordering online any better?

I've never had an issue waiting in line,good thing about it is that it's actually first come first served.


Ordering online gives me an estimated date, that will be formed up when it ships. With queuing up, if you missed out on launch day, people could be waiting at least a month or more to get one. With Pre-ordering, I always get mine quicker than that.

Also, with the configuration options, you would have had the same issues in your local store. They might not have had the model/band configuration you wanted at launch, by the time they got to you. Then you would to wait for stock. There's no difference and you'd be a fool to think otherwise.

What a calamity this launch has been. Say what you want, but there is a huge wave of negative feeling. People with mid May commit dates getting their same configuration watch shipped ahead of those with 24th April / early may dates.
Apple don't seem to care and are just aggravating customers with continued celebrity freebies and patronising emails such as the one sent last night.
It's a mess.
Those of you whose watches are preparing for shipment will not doubt wade in disagreeing with me.
I'll say it again, if you order a watch within 120 seconds of a site going live and don't get it for launch, something is very wrong.

Apple got this one wrong folks. I've lost immediate enthusiasm for this product but will probably get to enjoy it one day. Don't think I'll ever preorder online again after this, at least I have some level of control by waiting in line.

Would love it if you got your watch tomorrow.

Just remember, everything leading up to "dispatched" is speculation. Chill out!!
 
Reservations are great. Were we offered any this time around?

With Apple Watch? No. Tell to the people who scream down the phone at you after being made to wait 2-4 weeks for a reserved 6 64GB in Space Grey, not fun! :rolleyes: You could get a reservation for a try on 15 minute appointment but not to buy. I just bought blindly, the good little :apple: sheep I am! :p
 
Just joined this place, so apologies if I do anything wrong.

Curious if anyone with 38mm space grey sport have had theirs changed to preparing for dispatch yet? I'm still 'processing' with a 08:04:21 confirmation email.

Thanks for your time :)

Yes mine has, but my email was 08:03:13
 
Soon my friends, sooooon......
