Anyone taken a knife to their SS yet to see if the screen scratches lol?

The Sapphire won't scratch - Moh's Hardness scale, a diamond will do it ;)

I'm wondering if the steel alloy will scratch similar to the back of old iPods.
 
Nice job UK Mail. Both a text and an email to let me know I was next on their route, then they arrived 5 minutes later - bang in the middle of the timeslot.

Now its playtime in Falkirk!:)
 
Bristol to Chippenham! It shouldn't take this long omg!

Im tempted to order myself a Dominoes Pizza (Sadly no Spicy Pork) but i know ill be let down when the door goes and its pizza and not watch!!
 
Feck me it's here! Delivery window was 12:15-13:15.

Guy apologised for being early. He has loads to deliver apparently!

Ahead of the other-halfs Noon departure deadline as well!

Well done :apple:, Angela and UKMail. BEST LAUNCH EVER :D
 
So, using the watch for the last 30 minutes or so. Super impressed. Battery is dropping quick but that's because I've not left it alone. Haptic feedback is really nice. Can't see where to send people shapes and heart beats though.

I wondered this too as soon as the watch was announced. So when I went for my try on I took a close look at the SS watch and it had a lot of hairline scratches on. Just gotta deal with it.

It's not impossible to achieve though, got a twenty year old Rolex that's stainless steel and it has no scratches.
 
Just had a big argument with a manger at apple support.

I asked what happens if the watch is delivered outside the specified window.

He replied that the 24/4-8/5 window is only an estimate. An apple are allowed to deliver without any form of compensation outside of those dates.

Pointed out the fact that the alter e-mail clearly states that it will be delivered velveteen those dates. He argued the email does not count.

I have a suspicion that the space Grey has been either massively over bought or they have very very little stock and may have had production problems with the case or with the straps or something.

They are clearly already trying to cover their backsides and this launch only goes from bad to worse.
