This is my first and last preorder for Apple goods. Whilst I'm not fuming because we have a range of dates it is just so consuming it is impacting my normal life! I wish I could forget about it for 2 weeks but I can't!

All I can say is that this watch better not be the Apple equivalent of the Phantom Menace....
 
at this rate it would quicker and easier just to go to China and work on the line making your own watch.

They don't look anymore difficult to build than lego. I watched Blue Peter as a boy. So a bit of super glue here and double sided sticky tape there and pretty sure it would be perfect.

As I posted a few days ago, I'm more than willing for Apple to ship components to me and I'll assemble the watches for the UK. I could probably do it quicker!
 
I work with young people. They'd be happy to exchange studying with manufacturing. Call it a fulfilment project, get them to do a presentation on it at the end. Boom.

It'll be like those weekly magazines where you get a part a week to build a dinosaur, the Titanic, a tank, or a Death Star.

Good idea (but China sounded good as well), will come and help you as long as you pay better than Apple factory rates.
 
Bored now. Going to keep checking until 16:15 then off to do something else.
