I paid via Santander and they thought it was fraudulent. I had to ring up and sort it.

Shall we agree that no photos get posted until everyone has a watch?

TBH I wouldn't mind seeing what you all got, might get a dull thread otherwise

Based on what I'm reading, it looks like Apple is processing in order time order, but also by model, i.e. they seem to be on 42 SG at the moment for orders around 00:04?

Is that other people's take? If so, hope for wave 1 people with different models?

I used paypal. 08:16 as I had to wait for the website to come up to use paypal so couldn't jump in on the app and the website came up about 12 mins after the app did

 

[JCP1]

That's what I'm hoping for!

Me too!

I paid via Santander and they thought it was fraudulent. I had to ring up and sort it.

Same thing happened to me couple of weeks ago when I ordered a TV from John Lewis using my santander debit card

 

[ryang148]

Me three! Surely can't be too long now for us SS buyers....

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 - ordered at 08:04

Same (except 08:05:32). Not sure if I keep the blue (which I don't like), or hold out for the SGS :/

Hahahhahaa! It did cross my mind...

Did they call you to tell you? If not how did you find out

I guess it's a good thing.

42mm SG BSB ordered 08:03:39 on 10/04 has moved to Preparing for dispatch

 

[DanPlainview]

Anyone see dispatched yet? I'm hoping it's tomorrow.

 

[Mintimperial]

deliveries app just now re-confirming how uselessly late for the game it is.....

MacRumors analytics

I'd love for MacRumors to publish some of their website analytics in the coming days/weeks as I think it'll make a fascinating read...

How many new members? (me for one)
How many new threads, posts etc. vs. normal (or even other launches)
Sentiment?
Etc.

They'd be nice stats to share with Apple when they do the post-mortem on the 'launch'.

 

[Majorman]

Just something to be aware of SS guys. Last week the SS models went the day after all of the SG models.

Well mainly the BSB and WSB ones. But this means you could be waiting until tomorrow?

 

[jaxpro]

I have also got preparing for dispatch, ordered 8:04. Seemed to changed at 4pm. JP

 

[amzchhabra]

looks like no love for us 42 SS buyers... May as well come back next Tuesday now, can't see anything else happening. All the SS stock went to the US, Aus, and that bloody DSM store!

 

[davethorp]

I guess it's a good thing.

In fairness it doesn't happen as often as it used to when I banked with Natwest. They used to block my card every time I used it to pay my mobile phone bill. Or every time I bought an app on the App Store. Used to happen many times a month.

Been with Santander 3 years and think my cards have only been blocked about 3 or 4 times in that time
