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.....

I know what you mean, i ordered 11/4/15 just before midday, starting to think june is optimistic and it will be july!!!, if people ordered at 08.10 and still don't have them and I'm over 24 hours later when will we get them, it seems strange that :apple: have such a shortage, anyway heres hoping things speed up
 
I wish Apple would just come out and say what's happening..

Why is it so hard to ship 42" Space Grey watches???

I think this really does go to prove that Apple should have sold/shipped the straps separately.. That way they don't have so many SKUs and can more easily meet the demand.
 
Getting bored of waiting now, have two watches on order to see which one comes first but so getting near to cancel !!! :mad:
 
See you all again at 4pm tomorrow.

For those that are getting theirs delivered please add comments to the spreadsheet :)
 
Went into a chat with apple and the guy stated that it will ship within June. So I'll probably drop off until then. No use clubbing myself by refreshing every single hour for a whole month.
 
I think we should set up a letter talking about our disapproval regarding this release and how let down we feel. Then we each send this to their support team and the executive email. Maybe that'll grab their attention and give us some love from processing hell. It's nearly 2 weeks since the release and only orders up to :06 have been processed.
 
Finally had my try on appointment today. I don't live near an Apple Store so had to wait till next in London for work which meant I ordered three watches blind.

SW SG BSB 10/4
AW SS brown loop buckle 10/4
SW Silver WSB 24/4 arrived

The sport WSB has shipped although waiting collection in UK Mail depot. The other two still processing.

I liked the try on appointment and it confirmed my first view that the one I want most is the SS Apple watch. I liked the SG sport the least it just didn't look like the kind of watch I would wear (have worn a Tag for 20 years). The silver sport watch I felt a good compromise between price and looks but still a bit gadget looking but fineness if that's all my budget would stretch to. The SS is the one for me - it went with every strap I tried it with, didn't feel noticeably heavier, looked better with suits which is what im in 5 days a week but more over anything else looked like a watch rather than a gadget. Would have probably chosen blue loop instead of brown if I had seen them on the day but can always swap that once arrived.

My watch I wear more regularly than anything else I own so it has to look and feel right - so I suppose I'm going to have to wait it out. In the meantime if I try out the silver WSB that has arrived will apple take it back in the 14 day period if I have worn it? Or does it have to be brand new?

Ps will cancel the SG so one of you can move up the q
