WTF is this. No! If the store is empty, you have no right to go in front of others who booked an appointment later on the day. Doesn't matter if your 'money' is good as anyone else's.
And your process will bring back the long queue outside.
Got a tip for us?

Well I asked him x3 times, I even said, "because I KNOW you havent been, has that changed?" he said "yes it has changed "
I wanted to know because if not then I will change the address to my head office in London for Monday as Im not in sunny devon next week at all !
And at least he already has a apple watch..some of us are still waiting for ours patiently...

They changed the rules after the first chaotic week they had. Haven't you been following?
And it is NOT fair. That's you being selfish.
And bring in your celebrity friend then!
let's see what happens

LOL yeah!!! Probably a scalper if he already has one.

And he already jumped the qeue of those who ordered online to get his first watch, then got all upset when he couldn't get a second bite of the cherry... So started dissing their processes des because it didn't benefit !!
Mine went to PFD at around 9PM last night.
I'm holding out for a Saturday delivery but still pretty sure it'll be on Monday now, when I'm out all day! Typical...
it is a bit toys out of the cot to be honest. I have a watch ordered from 15th April absolutely no movement as of yet and no eta, just June...Im having to wait in the apple queue like everyone else has had to. Enjoying the process and happy to wait just don't enjoy people moaning about not getting a second watch already when many of us don't have a first one

He thinks the world revolves around him. He came to the store very late, and demanded to be served immediately. Not even thinking of the other "working class" people who made the actual effort to book.
And he knows the store only can book you a day in advance but he wants them to bend over the rules for him just to get an appointment.
He knows the rules. If you can't follow their rules, go to Selfridges (38mm Sport only tho) or order online.
And the fact he already HAS a watch makes this whole thing even more insulting

My man from Apple has just been in touch. Everything is fine with my order and it looks like the email I got sent overnight was sent in error. Should be dispatching today!
Dave,
I haven't been following this thread religiously, and I'm sure this has been asked already: has your contact at Apple given any indication of whether delivery of the more 'rare' permutations is picking up?
Cheers from a fellow Woolieback!
How the hellthey so behind on all the orders. They shouldnt of allowed perorders just released on 24th and first come first seeved
He's only really talked about my order specifically. I know HarryT has been in touch with someone in the executive office too (possibly same person, who knows) but Harry's only been given general information that was already known or information with regards his own order too.
Orders in general seem to be picking up, some items such as the models with link straps dispatched for the first time this week. We've also made about 10 minutes worth of progress this week with the Space Grey Sport model that most people have ordered which is more progress from an order time perspective than there's been in the preceding 3 weeks!
----------
They have appeared to grossly underestimate the popularity of the Space Grey Sport model and have been playing catch up since. I'm not sure how considering you would have expected them to do some form of market research prior to launch and leading up to pre orders people could favourite the models that were of interest to them which would give a further idea of the popularity.
I did raise this point in my emails to the executive office but they haven't touched on it as yet in my discussions on the phone with them as the priority has been to sort out what was causing paypal to decline the payment when Apple tried to take it and getting my watch dispatched as soon as possible
It means your watch will be dispatched in the next few hours. The ship date estimate will not change. Even when my sport band was delivered it still says dispatched in 2-4 weeks.
You should have your watch tomorrow (if they have started Saturday delivery) or Monday.
It was 17:30pm when I arrived and 17:50 when I left
----------
Lol were you there? No one demanded anything. I was perfectly polite and even had a nice chin wag with the staff.
So what if I have a watch already? Does owning a watch make my assessment of the way apple has handled this launch as flawless by default?
Moving the product from retail stores to a single Mayfair boutique is a classist move. I fail to understand how you can see it as otherwise.
