By the way, can someone explain to me who the hell is this Francis?! :D I keep thinking about House of Cards...
 
Just out of interest, does anyone know if Apple Stores have service parts yet in case ours show up with a fault/need replacing?
It seems like at the moment you will have to send it back, and guessing by the backlog it might stay like that for quite some time.
 
Laughed so hard at this that I almost didn't notice that my order is… still processing. GRRAARRRRR. I think next time Tim Cook does one of those 'donate a pile of money to charity X and get lunch with me' things we should start a whip round so Mintimperial can attend as our diplomatic envoy.


:)

Passing your time was the aim of the game.

And I'll happily take that ticket. I promise to be like Jarvis Cocker at a Michael Jackson concert!!
 
Exactly the same as me, have you ever caught your headphone cord on a door handle?! So annoying! Also want them to be able to pair with my :apple: Watch!

Surely you can only pair one bluetooth device at a time? So as long as you're looking use your watch without having your phone with you, you'll be fine?
 
Pulled the trigger and cancelled my ss bsb, was in the May 12-26 bracket so hopefully ye are all moved up a space in the queue :)
 
I'm surprised by the number of people who are voicing their increased unhappiness with Apple as the delivery window progresses.

Apple gave everyone a delivery window prior to ordering. We are all entitled to have an opinion about how good or bad such a window is, what it means for Apple and pre-orders, etc etc. However, it is one thing to be disappointed with the window; it is something very different to get increasingly disappointed as that window progresses without delivery. Anyone doing so has no one to blame but themselves because they set their own incorrect expectation that, despite being given a delivery window, their watch would arrive on launch day.

I just find it weird how people are directing their own frustrations towards Apple on an increasing basis as the delivery window progresses. I don't think people quite understand the concept of a delivery window??
 
Something went wrong with the spreadsheet. My item with SS BSB was changed to SG BSB...

Changed that back for you.

Im thinking of changing the spreadsheet a bit as the names are all over the place and its hard to pull stats from it and summarise whats happening.

Anyone got a list of the possible combinations?
 
Have been on here enjoying the banter as people wait but just had a look at the google docs file on 15 people are marked as despatched or delivered out of 148 which is 10% of orders delivered.

I though I read Apple saying they had delivered 20% of orders

The spreadsheet was initially set up purely for people who were still in processing. A few of them changed on the Thursday before release and a few people added their details to it without realising what it was for
 
Ok I have changed the spreadsheet to include three columns for the type of watch. This will make it far easier to track which watches are dispatching etc.

We can get rid of the Watch Model column now...

When I was a young chap we laughed how people in
East Germany had to pre-order cars years before they
Had their driving license. And how they had to queue for
nice food. Here we are buying from the most capitalist
Company on the planet whilst obeying to a communist economy
model ( planned economy)
 
Right. THATS IT!!!!

No ****ing charge.

No ****ing status change.

No ****ing watch.

I've just been into the Apple Store and really kicked off at the imbeciles in there. No one was taking me seriously so I started scratching all the ****ing MacBook screens with my ****ing Swiss Army knife.

The ****ers soon took notice and called security.

Luckily I'm a karate blue belt and kicked the guys arse. He will be spending the night in hospital.

Tried to snatch a space grey from someone doing a try on, but was rugby tackled by the other guard.

Eventually had to run off after I knocked the leg from out of under the table and all of the Ipads off the tables onto the floor.

Must've been 8 or 9 iPads completely mullered.

After all that still no ****ing apple watch.

WORST LAUNCH EVER!!!!

Took a pic just before running off. That'll teach the bastards!!
