Just had a look on eBay and can't believe that people are paying near £600 for SG Sport watches that are yet to be delivered - unbelievable

Would any of you be prepared to pay this sort of money instead of waiting couple of weeks ?


The Apple Watch is goo but not worth paying almost a third more for it.

Apple is clearly shipping well in advance of the delivery estimates so really it's crazy that these people dont just wait.

But, when you want something you want something, if you have the funds to squander then fair enough.
 
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?

Call centre is in Ireland :)
 
Still "preparing for dispatch", do they still dispatch at this stage of the night does anybody know?

The couriers Apple use move quite quickly. I wouldn't worry about a late despatch tonight, it'll probably still arrive tomorrow.
 
Yay, Green 42mm ordered on 27th and just changed to 'Preparing for Dispatch' (although still says dispatched June)
Same for me today (although I ordered on 25th), I thought the green would be a better option for a quicker turnaround.
Baffled by the 'dispatched June' bit though, I don't want to sit and watch 'Preparing for Dispatch' for a month !!!
 
If Apple keep dispatching watches everyday this week. Us June people could see movement next week or the week after . Am I right ??

SS 42mm BSB
 
C'mon dispatch!!!

UK Mail depot is only 20mins away from me. Does anyone know if i can arrange a collection as oppose to wait for delivery. I'm expecting to move from Preparing to........to Dispatched later tonight.

Does UK Mail offer this option once my watch shows up on their site?
 
Just talked with apple chat, mine is prepping and i asked about the june date, they answered that its because the system has not updated but i should get dispatched within 24 h and have it by friday
 
Just looked back at yesterdays posts, looks like loads changed to dispatched between 9pm and 9.50pm. Last post was 10.02pm saying dispatched.

So still crossing my fingers for dispatch today!!

They will offer that option, but when I tried it last night for the watch that shipped last night, the earliest I could pick it up was Thursday. How it takes them 2 days to move a watch from the warehouse to the customer collection point, I have no idea, but there we go.
 
Dispatched!

How Deliveries is managing to tell that, I do not know, considering that when I try to view my order on the web, the store is throwing an error, but I trust Deliveries, it's never failed me yet!

I'll pass on that then because i'd rather have it tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.
 
Could someone please update the spreadsheet to received. for mine (elbartino on line 66) thank you.

Great to see so many more getting processed today too. Almost wish the launch had been a week later so we could have all gotten them at the same time.
