I've just got back will try to keep this short as its been weird

queued up at 9:30 then they shut the queue saying they weren't selling anymore so had a funny feeling so went for a coffee and came back an hour later and there was a queue again so tagged on the back of the queue and the same guy said we are not selling anymore watches but as he walked past he said you will be ok to me and a few others so basically he was getting rid of the scalpers.

queued up for another hour and the guy then said I know you have been waiting but can you come back in an hour so I did, got inside and was told its appointments only so do I want to book one so I said no left the store and noticed that the guy who was in front of us and didn't have an appointment had 2 watches so I went back in explained that he never had one and after a bit of yes he did no he didn't the apple guy said we will see what we can do and 5 mins later I walked out with a SS WSB so I don't know whats going on but they clearly have spare stock :confused:

He even said unless we tell the scalpers to leave the queue he isn't opening up the shop we were like well if there not listening to you what chance have we got lol

Unfortunately, it gets very murky when staff "guess" based on looks and appearance!

I'm the same I was sure I would get it today as I was early 8:05 but again nothing.
Waiting till tomorrow but I bet I get stuck with processing again while 8:06 start celebrating.
It really does feel like we will never get it.

Based on the timings we're seeing now, there is definitely something awry here.

Dodgy batch? last minute QA failure?

I know people are saying Apple Care haven't been very helpful,/knowledgeable, but if this was me I'd be escalating this one. There's enough evidence in this thread that shows Tim Cook's promise isn't happening in all cases.

I think you both deserve some straight answers - good luck!
 
hmm strange though been back 2 hours and I haven't opened the box think I'm coming down with something as thats clearly not right :confused:

It is frustrating seeing everyone around me get there watches some people ordered days after me with different style watches.

I'm just going to out all my hope that something happens tomorrow.
 
Well, this is unexpected!

42mm Sport WSB Ordered the 24th April - Preparing for Shipment!
42mm SS WSB Ordered 25th April - Preparing for Shipment!

No need to go to DSM tomorrow then...:)

Here's Francis' prayer, I suggest you memorize it and do 3 hail Mary's and 3 our Francis's:

Our Francis thou art in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
your orders will be done,
In the UK as it is in the U.S.
Give us today our daily delivery of Apple Watches.
Forgive us our moans and groans,
as we forgive those who received their watches before us.
Lead us not into temptation (e.g. Pebble or MS Band)
but deliver us from processing hell.
For thy is the kingdom,
the power and the glory.
Now and for ever we'll love our Apple Watch.
Amen.
 
I ordered a SS Milanese Loop on the 12th of April and still haven't seen any movement - June delivery / processing

Has anyone with June deliveries for SS ML seen any changes to their order?

Also another question does the money have to be in your bank when it changes over to 'preparing to dispatch' or is your card charged at a later date?

just unboxed...

wow.. great experience...

the new charging plug... amazing!!!!

haven't powered watch on yet... been charging it..

booked a persona setup appointment which starts in 2 minutes!

initial thoughts are that 38mm is smaller than i thought... BUT i have small wrists, so fashionably, it's definitely the right size :)

I do have to say that I am actually no longer excited for this product due to the appalling delivery. I am in two minds to cancel my order and just wait until the next watch now and save myself from keep checking every free minute of the day. :confused::eek:

Don't bother charging it... PLAY!

I got it at 80%, I'm now at 56% and I've done loads, including about 5 calls with the missus!

One tip, choose to install apps later and then you can get the initial syncing done quicker (still takes about 7-8 mins)

Enjoy!

Good luck to all others who've seen movement! Praise be to Francis! :)

Judging by the # posts this evening, the ramp up on production is working!

Long may it continue and hopefully screw over all those scalpers at the DSM!
