Out of interest, does anyone know if Apple Stores are stocking charging cables?

Want to pick up a spare 1m, but it's not urgent so would rather walk into a store and get one as opposed to order online.

They do. Saw them yesterday in the Leeds Apple store
 
after looking and looking at my 42mm SG Sport and the 38mm Pink Sport for my better half that were ordered 10/4 @ 8.04 still sitting in Processing

I took the dive and order 2 Blue and 2 White in each size on the 23/4

one 42mm Silver is now shipping and one 38mm Blue

stress, sleepless nights waking up to check my order and reloading and then reloading ever half an hour is now over

hopefully have both on Tuesday/Wedenday

Helps prove the point that they have produced more of the blue bands. It just sucks that people are still processing...
 
Guys, do you think Apple will charge for orders and change status from Processing to Preparing for Shipment over the weekend?

Which colour 42mm is shipping?
 
No idea why they include a Watch cable that's too long, and an iPhone Lightning cable that's too short!

Exactly. You don't really use the watch when it's charging so short is fine but I do use the phone a lot when it's plugged in and had to buy the longer cable. Probably a strategy to suck more money out of us lol
 
For those re-ordering other variants how do you know which will be on a faster schedule? They all say June on the Apple Store don't they?

This!

All I can think is that they want you to charge your Watch right next to the bed (where there might not be a socket?!?!) but I'm pretty sure 99% of us already charge our iPhones within arms reach of the bed...
 
2m. The length isn't really why I'm getting one, it's just because the 1m is cheaper! :p

I didn't even know that there was a 1m, cheaper cable. The one I order is 2m. Still processing. I suppose I could cancel it and then order the 1m.

Edit: Although it's showing as still processing Apple seems to have taken the money so no point in cancelling now.

It's all very misleading on the Apple Website, where orders that are scheduled for June are dispatching earlier. Apple should be more truthful so that people who want a watch earlier can decide by looking at the models that have greater stock levels.
 
See I find 2m too long. I wish they supplied with 1m :(

I agree. It is a bit long. If they have them in store I will just pick one up. I'm planing on swinging by my local Apple store today anyway so I'll have a look and then cancel my order if Im able to get one.
 
Just placed an order for a 38mm blue sport. We will see if it gets dispatched sooner than the space grey. They can only take payment for one watch anyway, so first one to dispatch gives Apple my money :p

That's true even the white and blue sports which seem to be really easy to get say June. Those have been shipping a few days after placing orders for most people.
 
I thought I was impatient, but ordering additional watches in case they arrive earlier is taking it to another level!

Exactly, I would hope that they have somewhat ramped up production of Space Grey models now, although they should have done this 2 weeks ago when orders were building up.
