Really frustrated we haven't got it over here yet. We're much more advanced than the U.S. Is with contactless terminals and being able to use the watch for Apple Pay would blow non believers' minds.
Got a tip for us?

The U.S. Has a need to find a securer way to pay. Unlike Europe chip and pin are not used instead a signature, which no one checks, is enough to spend heaps of money. Guess that's why new tech such as Apple pay are easier to introduce as the U.S. Public wouldn't be as suspicious as the British may be...
I didn't quite get the fit perfect as I had begun to walk away from the appointment before going back and asking to try it quickly as I'd forgotten all about it. From memory, I had to remove about four links to get it roughly right, but I like my watches quite tight fitting and it still had some movement up and down my wrist.
You should be fine I think, Apple's sizing guidelines appear to be fairly lenient.
Just had a quick nosey in the Trafford Centre store. Damn they sure are smaller in the flesh. I bet a lot of male 38mm buyers who have not seen them first are going to regret not going for the bigger size.
I was in the Trafford store on Monday night and thought exactly the same thing. I was with my wife and she commented that the 38mm watches are definitely intended for females.
Anyone had any movement on their UK orders that are due between 24/4 - 8/5?
Available balances reduced or CC charges? Surely if Apple are looking to deliver (at least a few) by Friday some status's should move to preparing for despatch today?

If coming direct from China I would expect something tonight and/or tomorrow morning.
If coming from a distribution centre in the UK then Wednesday.
I ordered Watch Sport Green band at 8:02am, currently still delivers between 24/4-8/5. No money taken from my bank yet either.
I also think we won't see anything change until Wednesday.

Most likely tomorrow onwards is when we will see movement. Although I ordered mine at 8.14(Sport 38mm White strap) and got the 24/4-8/5 shipment so perhaps mine might take longer than you guys with 8.01 confirmations. Hopefully though the 2
Week window is overly cautious by Apple and it will be here Friday!!

My email came through at 08.24 so I'm not expecting to get mine on launch day but I'm in the 24/4-8/5 group so I'm still hoping.
Mine is 8:01am for first watch and 8:02am for second watch. Seriously hoping for Friday delivery.
Yes!! Half an hour ago I had the option to edit my shipping and billing addresses and now it is now longer there - still says processing but the address thing has definitely changed! My order was confirmed at 8.08am.
No, ignore the above. It seems that if I look at order status it just shows my name beside Delivers to and Bills to, but the link to edit the address is still at the top of the page and I can still alter them. Sorry guys!

My billing is not editable but the shipping is. I had not tried to change them previously so I cannot tell if this is movement.
