I'm Space Grey 42mm and 8:08.

No update and no sign of credit card charge.

I am hoping we will see movement mid-next week (as there are still 8:06s and 8:07s to finish off...

It's like waiting in a slow queue when you are in a rush *and* the person currently being served is taking ages for some reason *and* you don't even know how many people are ahead of you...

Or something like that anyway :)

... and having picked SG, I'm definitely in the 'wrong' queue, you know, the one where the guy with the bit of paper is making 26 different enquiries.

Hi all!

Success! Just been charged for my watch :)

42mm Space Grey Sport with black band.
Ordered: 08:05 on the 10th of April.
Expected delivery date of mid may.

However, just been charged so I hope to see it early next week.

No this launch has not been a farce, no I am not angry at Apple, yes I think I just had to wait a bit because lots of people ordered a very popular watch.

It's much easier to think like that when the magical prepare for dispatch appears!

Ha Ha - Yep, exactly! :)

(However - I also know that ultimately, when I eventually get served, I'll be happy I didn't switch queues...)

Nope agreed! If the month stayed at June then I wouldn't be worrying to be honest.

I'm just waiting for my June or to slip back to July at this rate!

I really don't think that is likely.
As confused and patience-testing as this launch has been Apple do not usually push delivery dates back for people that have already been given a promised date.
If anything (going on past records) they usually deliver earlier than promised.

I would be *really* surprised if you don't get your orders *before* the promised June dates.
 
It's been a bizarre experience buying the Apple Watch!

As I said earlier http://youtu.be/-U4Pvodwm0U ! But a big part of it has been the humour, camaraderie, support and excitement in this forum...

503 pages, 12,500+ posts (the biggest MR thread on Apple Watch), the thread has received more than 600,000 views - that's awesome!

I LOVE YOU GUYS! :)

Praise be to Francis! Please Francis if you could just do us one more favour?... ...please could you kindly just deliver jrobert's Link Watch then that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ever so much!

I agree I had May delivery, but today preparing for dispatch. You will all get your time, just hang on in there!
 
I gave up and ordered a White sport 38mm and will just send my SG one back when it arrives, probably in 2019 as I order it On 12th! Lol

Have to agree with everything above. And as much as I like having JRobert around I hope he gets his Link watch very soon too. I can imagine how it must feel...

Also wanted to say that if it was not for this forum I think I would be feeling much more frustrated than I am. It's really good at least getting some sense of what is going on and where we are in the queue. Without this forum I would probably be on the phone to Apple customer services every third day (FYI I've managed to resist calling them at all so far).

So thanks everyone for being here (although I guess we all would rather not be if you see what I mean :)

I know how you are feeling - I'd be super frustrated!

My new dilemma is deciding on which watch face I want to use!

As long as Francis is letting me burn in Processing hell he is not getting any praise from me...;)

Tut, tut, tut TimothyBe! This is exactly where you're going wrong!

You need to recite this prayer at least 3 times an hour, and because of your blasphemy you also need to say 3 Hail Mary's and 5 Our Francis'... Otherwise it's the VERY back of the queue for you!

The Francis' Prayer
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.

Nothing my end, i'm happy with todays movement so far. Hopefully some 07's start to go today and we'll be in the money next week. On that note I've just ordered my shatter proof screen protector :cool:

Seconded - I've had my impatience sated a little by seeing Mrs HexBaboon's 38mm Pink Sport so fingers crossed for some early movement next week for the 08:08 gang and beyond.
 
New colour bands and new faces?

im really hoping for a PURPLE sportsband!! I would order it this minute (that way it would be here just in time for Christmas!!)
Also hoping they bring out new 'faces' every now and then
I'm a little unsure about battery life but I've been hammering it this first 24hours so it may be ok when it settles. I wear my watch at night so am charging in the evening and it used 20% just on my wrist over night! (I want it to do the heartbeat thing so power reserve won't work.
On 23% now (5.25pm) just just another few hours to last.
 
Ive been charged, and preparing for dispatch. 8:05:59 here, shame apple dont do saturday delivery, so I have to wait until tuesday, which I am away for meetings with work until thursday night ! :(
