All good mate. Loving the feel and the look. Notifications on the wrist are wicked.
Some of the non Apple apps seem a bit slow, but its early days so no doubt it will get better with updates.
got the tracking info yesterday at 20:30 took till around 22:00 to show up on the ukmail site. It's at that point i now wish i had hit pick up from depot. Wasted a whole day waiting for nothing phoned them 3 times and all they said was wait until 8 pm!! was worried when the scan out of the depot said temp driver thats never a good thing! he prob spent all afternoon filling out no one at home cards!
Isn't it cool? Done 4-5 phone calls (clear as you'd like) and dictated numerous texts - I agree, I think Apple Watch is much better than iPhone 6!
For Siri

its not funny that you wasted a day but what you said about filling out the not at home cards
I ordered mine yesterday. 38mm sport model silver white sports band. Estimated in June, still processing.
I decided to give it a shot ordering from the UK using Borderlinx after Tim Cook announced that more countries wouldn't be added until the end of June.
As I live in Sweden I can't even be sure we'll be part of that wave. I want one before summer is over since winter is coming.

42mm SG BSB ordered at 08:05:32 went to Preparing for Dispatch at some point this afternoon
(if someone could update the spreadsheet, that would be awesome. I can barely load the page without the Safari tab crashing)
I should be before you but I'm going to look at the positives that I WILL be tomorrow
Just checked the spreadsheet of doom/joy (delete as applicable) and my watch details are wrong: it has me down as having ordered 38 Pink Sport Band instead of 42 BSB. So before I go and edit my details, has it been messed up for others or just me?
It's fine for me, but someone else said that too. I think it keeps crashing and is causing problems... I've given up with it

Fine here
Hey, I know most of you ordered on 10th (although some considerably later), but this thread has predominately focused on those that ordered for Wave 1 (24/4-5/8).
Whilst there's been a huge amount of movement in the last 2 days, those with later shipment predictions, need to understand that miracles aren't happening.
Really pleased to hear those ordering less popular models / those with less predicted demand, sharing their 'ahead of time' stories.
But, please trust me, if you have later shipment dates, then THIS THREAD will screw your mind, as it shows the desperately slow pace that Apple is able to fill these orders.
I'd recommend you chill, and dial down your expectations...
From a relatively short wait (08:06:20 42SSBSB - arrived today), it's been agony!
My advice, use the Apple shipment guidance as a guide, and then be really pleased when it comes earlier.
These thoughts are offered with best the intentions and aim to help you keep your sanity (or at least some perspective).
Good luck and may Francis be with you all!

I think I'd better dig out my sleeping bag and camp out in this thread as I doubt I'll be seeing my watch much before the end of summer!
My 42mm SS with Classic Buckle is showing a June delivery and having spoken to Apple both online and over the phone I'm none the wiser as to when I'll get it
Out of interest, are the Apple UK sales support call centres UK based or somewhere off shore?
