Where I work I always use the example of Apple as a company who offer great customer service. I doubt I'll be doing that again.

Yesterday I placed my order for apple watch on handtec.co.uk and posted about this site here but deleted it because I was worried that it might be a scam.
After checking many reviews and mailing them, I have found that it is one of the most reliable web site. I suggest you guys take a look at it

Good price but status of most of watches is "Due in Soon".

take a look at stainless steel case with sport band. it is cheaper than apple uk
inc vat £519.00 on apple uk but on handtec £407.99
Yep that was me fella.... What's even funnier is when you call apple for some guidance on when it might arrive, they spend ten minutes tapping away and tell you exactly the same info you have on your order status !!
Why can't someone at Apple issue a timeline for order vs expected order fulfilment or something !!
Almost non possible.. An almost non available device, without being in Apple stores, cheaper (-20%) as Apple, with Apple as distributer..
Think they messed up sport and watch versions
They have there prices mixed up as the other posted stated handtec won't be cheaper than apple guaranteed
Meanwhile in the German orders thread: Dispatched! #
Meanwhile in the Canada orders thread (yesterday):Got "shipped email a few minutes ago"!!!
Meanwhile in the USA WSB thread: last night changed to Preparing for Shipment (around 11pm CST)
etc...etc...
NO LOVE FOR THE UK APPLE!!!

That is what I expected and contacted them but they confirmed the price
I would never ask them to pay more lol
This is the listed price for SS case
Time to chime in,
I originally wasn't going to get a Watch but the tech-lust got to me.
My main/original order is a 42mm Allu. BlackSB placed on the evening of the 26th, with a shipping window of June.
Not having the patience to wait and being indecisive about the 38mm vs 42mm (I've a 175mm wrist circumference), today I placed an order for a 38mm Allu. BlueSB whci hhas a shipping window of 19-27 of May.
I'm hoping that I'll have both within the return window of the 38mm as the 42mm has always been my favorite model.
I suspect I'll end up returning the 38mm or selling it on to a friend (At cost, no profit mongering here).

Depends on the model and band.
Currently 38mm's are shipping before the 42's and anything black appears to take the longest in regards to shipping due to its popularity.
You have an awful long wait I am afraid. Apple still haven't shipped to all those that ordered in the first 10 minutes on the 10th April. It's been a month and they haven't covered the first ten minutes of preorders...let that sink in
I have shipping time of June with absolutely no movement and I ordered on the 15th unlikely you'll see movement anytime soon.
They always get charged around this time. Don't give us hope like that lol.
US shipments need to be 5x as much as the UK shipments because of the number of orders. So it makes sense that they see a lot more shipments but still only up to the 08:10 mark.
Looks like the usual one delivery a week for the UK peasants tossed from the scraps of the USA feast.
