if today was the day of catch up..it should have started at 12... the time slot of 16-18 is way too small to do anything significant..
One of the 8.07 gang here. Still in processing hell. Was really hoping for movement today. C'mon Apple take a laxative and give us some movement 😀
I've been sat at preparing to dispatch since Fri. They'd better dispatch today or trouble will be at the mill.
DSM update just came out of there. Guy was perfectly nice but said same as previously reported- no appointments. I asked wether that was due to no stock and he said yes! He also said that they will allow no repeat of the chaos last week - his words not mine

I just wander if the people that ordered at 08:09 haven't got their watches dispatched and its been days.... whats the hope for people who ordered at 10:00, 11:00 the next day etc... I ordered on the 15th... so 5 days after launch primarily because I ordered the wrong size and once I went into the apple store realised this and cancelled and re-ordered. I thought that my order would hence be delayed 5 days from people who ordered on the launch day....now I am wondering seeing all these people who ordered in the first ten minutes who STILL haven't got theirs dispatched what hope I have.....

The first hour will have seen an order of magnitude more orders than anytime later, it won't scale linearly.
I think HarryT should call the exec team again and ask what the **** they are doing..clearly not what they've told you on the phone..
People always get angry at this point in the day and then 4PM hits and everyone is happy again because watches are being charged for
Remember you are not in a queue of order time, but it's ordered by type of case/strap - imagine 38 separate queues 🙂 . You'll probably get your watch before my SS Blackhole.

It has become my routine for the last couple of weeks..im addiction to getting angry at 4PM..😀
Yes I think they should be more transparent. A 2 week window is not specific enough. Maybe to start with 2 week would have been fine as a guide but now they know how many they have and where we are in the list I think it should have been updated to a more specific range. I'm an 8:07 order of a space grey 42mm sport so hopefully we'll see some action in 3 minutes!!! - You guys have got my hopes up!
My reason for frustration is this. Most people had moved from preparing to dispatch to dispatch within hours. I've seen this status now since Friday. Bloody annoying. Sick of refreshing everything #
And so it begins... On your marks, get set.. F5!!!
On a serious note, I really like this forum and happy that I found it. It's a god send. This topic is great and just shows how awesome us Brits are!
