But the chargers do NOT include the plug (my charger came today). So maybe it is the plug!
The Apple Store in Manchester had loads of the new style plugs and cables the other day when I went in. Like a whole wall full! When I bought one of each in a bit of a panic, the guy said oh you got a watch then? I was like, no not yet it's ordered but I'm getting them in case they sell out.
He kinda laughed and said they have a shed load of the cables and new style plugs in stock in the back too.
What the heck is holding our deliveries up!? Grrrrr! Lol
My Expedited Developer Apple Watch order has moved to "Preparing for Dispatch" so there is some stock in the UK and starting to move.
My 42 SG Sport is still in "Processing" though
Really?

A little misleading - here's the full story

All that means is they won't be available in other countries until June which is a lot later than anticipated (wave 2 countries). We are ok, we are in wave 1.
TBH if they released it in Wave 2 countries before Wave 1 countries had had their pre-orders fulfilled, there would be war.......
This is just BGR click bait. All the info in that article is from the earnings call and at no point did Tim C say that we will have to wait longer than our estimates. It's simply rewording how it was said to make it appear that anyone outside the US is going to be in for a longer wait.

And that kills my faith for today.
Why? I see it as meaning a bunch of stock has come in.
They will be dispatching developer versions first, then onto normal orders. Also only the blue sport is being sent to developers early.
Is it too late fot his apple developer thing? if not where do i sign up as what i've is its free. Im after the blue one on the 26th
Ordered mine on the 18th at 2pm 42 sg bsb hurry up
You could be in for a fairly lengthy wait.
my £2 hold on my account (for two watches) had dropped off my account now they are back on. So either something is gong to happen, nothing is going to happen or I am back at the end of the line
It was a random lottery done by Apple. They randomly selected a load of developers and offered them the chance to buy a watch with a guaranteed ship date of the 28th. They then randomly selected a smaller group out of the devs who responded.
So two stages of random selection. All finished now though

What time did you order the Developer apple watch. I ordered the exact same watch on the same day after hearing things were moving quicker on that model in the US.
