Well missed my delivery from UK Mail as I was at work this morning. I phoned them up when I got back at about 2.30 to ask about collecting it from the depot either today or tomorrow and I was told I should be able to do either but that they would put a request through to the depot to ask when the driver was due back and to call back after about an hour. Just called up again and the person I spoke to said that I should have been told that in fact I would not be allowed to pick it up today as Apple have requested that no watches be collected in person today?! Has anyone else heard this? I could understand them not wanting them collected yesterday but what possible difference could it make to them if I collect it this afternoon after an attempted delivery?!
Think I'll just call back until I speak to someone more helpful!
[Edit] Found the number for the Glasgow depot and phoned them direct. Sorted - will pick it up at 6.

I am still waiting for delivery. Its been on the van since 8 this morning. Thought Id have it early, in central London
I'm still waiting for mine too. Sat in all day for it and have to go out for 30 minutes at 5pm. Pretty obvious when it will arrive!
Yeah mine has been on UPS van since 5:30 this morning and still nothing, my friend around the corner has received his in Farringdon, London
Just unboxed and set mine up! 
It's really beautiful. So glad I chose 42mm, I was second guessing myself even after my try on appointment but it's just about the right size. Maybe could even be a tad bigger, but it's nice as it is.
The Taptic Engine is strange but I really like it. The only problem I had was changing the straps - I couldn't quite get it to click in the first few times, but eventually I got there. Unfortunately I straddle the two sizes, the S/M I'm on the penultimate hole but the M/L has enough overlap to make it not sit flat. I've gone for the S/M as I prefer a snug fit, but worried if I need to adjust for when it's hot etc.
What watch faces/complications did everyone go for? I've gone for Utility with all the numbers but seconds, red second hand, day and date, battery, London time and weather with description.
(My heart goes out to those still at processing - you'll get there eventually, and boy is it worth it!)

Went with the opening flowers. Butterflies creep me out, but definitely loving the flowers! #
I said UKMail are rubbish. This just proves it. Now 25 minutes after the 5 - 15 minute text.
They came about a half hour after I posted that. One very exhausted and harrassed looking driver. I've plenty of sympathy for him and for UKMail on an Apple launch day.
This may piss everyone off...
I just got back from the Devon Street Market in London... I just joined a queue for a couple of hours and BAM 42" SS milanese loop

really hoped we would see movement today on processing orders but it would appear not
I will be very annoyed if there's no progress by Monday... but for now... i'm going to enjoy the weekend with my Casio watch which lasts more than 18 hours
How big was the queue?
Any SS Black Sport or SS Blue Loop?
Did you make an appt, or just rock up?
38 was smaller than I thought but for a small med arm I think it looks more like a normal watch than a massive "smart watch" Big enough to do what it says on the tin.
is yours 38 then? whats wrist circumference?
Most of their stock is SG/ BSB
That's just annoying, when most of us still processing are waiting for that...
