This has been happening for the past few days, I'm giving up hope that ours will correspond with theirs. Who knows when the next lot of UK ones are coming!

Well, it won't be tomorrow. They might have shipments in planes, flying to the East Midlands.

Hopefully, we get charged and prepared on Monday. Maybe even dispatched. :D
 
For anyone in London I was able to pick up a Space Grey watch at Dover St Market. I was pretty lucky - by the time it was my turn (after 40 minutes of queuing) the man serving me told me they only had the white sport watch and the white band stainless steel. Another employee serving another customer corrected him, explaining that a few had just arrived recently. I don't know how often they have their deliveries but if you're interested I'd recommend giving it a try.

The sad part is there quite a few people buying watches and then rejoining the queue to buy more to sell on. Kinda frustrating, but that's life.

Dover St is now only doing bookings, which you need to do 5 days in advance. And you have to book in person, then go back again. Not worth it anymore. People might as well wait for their preorders...

They have told me that they are dispatching tomorrow, it's just deliveries that don't happen over weekends.
 
Went to Bluewater store today and got AppleCare+ :). I asked if they had any bands only to sell but they don't and don't expect to have any for a few months. So I have ordered a Milanese Loop online. Not dispatched until June apparently.

"They" being an Apple support person? They've been giving inconsistent info the whole time, I'm not too hopeful...

Although that *would* be great
 
I'm not really expecting my watch now until late next week or the week after. At least that way if it comes sooner I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I think we're now past the phase of 'any time now' for updates.

That's what I have done. I have made a right mess of this. I now have on order a Apple Watch Sport with Blue Sport Band as they seem to be shipping very quickly, meanwhile, I carry on waiting for the Stainless Steel model with Black Sport Band I ordered.

I guess I'll either have to sell the Sport on eBay or see if I can send it back!

Do you know if the Blue Sport Band the only one moving fairly quickly? I was going to see of DSM had the SG, but failing that would take blue or white.

Also, for anyone who managed to get theirs from Dover Street, how was the experience? Did they have enough stock? the website says they only have appointments from Wednesday now, but you have to go into store to book one.
 
And another day goes past just as if it was 10th of April. No charge, no movement.

42mm space grey 8:04:08

Why did I convince myself that I would get it on launch day?

Not even convinced it will be here in the delivery slot quoted by 8/5. Resigned to waiting indefinitely now.

I think you've misread it slightly.

Appointments from Wednesday 29th April can now only be made in person as of Monday 27th April from 11.00am on the Ground Floor and to a maximum of 5 days in advance. We kindly ask that you do not queue before this time and no phone calls will be taken.

Also I didn't have to book. It meant I had to queue for 40 minutes but I was with friends so it was no big deal.

Hi. Dover street was only doing bookings today but they allow you to queue and if someone doesnt turn up or they have a gap in appts then they let you in. I know this as that is what happened to me today and how it was explained by the apple guy they have on site.

Re the people rejoining the queue, I can't write what I want to about them. It would breach public decency laws.
