Pink 38mm, order 23/4 is preparing for shipment! :)

Ordered the same one 2 days later (25th) so hopefully mine should say the same soon. Then just got to wait for my SS BCB which is still saying June.


EDIT: YES! Preparing to despatch! (card charged aswell)
 
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.

And what about those who booked for the next day then? They will be angry as heck on YOU if they ever know that you tried to do this. I certainly am because my appointment's today. It's like you pushed in front of me. Who are you to do that? If you and I are after the same watch and you got the last one, because 'you walked in' I would be furious. And you call DSM "unfair".


You can be kind or demanding, it's the same thing. You were trying to take a reserved seat that isn't yours.

Yeah because people don't have wives or girlfriends with birthdays do they..



And I'm the ONLY person who has wanted to purchase more than one right?..


Most women find 38mm the perfect size for them. DSM isn't the only option to get those size watches.

And lol at giving girlfriends an Apple Watch. Just LOL. Either that person is very rich OR have super super trust in her that she'll marry you. What if she breaks up with you two weeks later lol?
 
Hi

Is anyones Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Leather Loop - Large preparing for dispatch today?

Thanks,
 
I have I spoke to them about mine this morning - which says PFD still - Saturday deliveries are a thing now according to the apple rep I spoke to.

The schmuck I spoke to just trotted out the usual party line, "deliveries can take up to five days depending on the carrier."

wow - talk about sweeping generaliations!

1) Women only wear 38mm sports (Selfridges dont have 38mm in the watch collection)

2) people dont usually buy girlfriends an apple watch

Wow! Just wow!


Sorry I seem demanding - like I say, if other people were actually in the store, I would fully expect them to be prioritised, but it was completely empty save for one person looking at earrings.

I personally would like to see apple products away from the boutiques and back in the retail stores where they belong. I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on that one. Respectfully of course.

OK guys enough. both sides will not agree over this. Although I have to say big thumbs up to DSM to actually sticking to their system and not relenting under what seems to have been 20 mins of pressure from the poster.

DSM give appointments for the following day and it would have been massively unfair for them to serve you even if the store was empty as you may purchase a watch that the person the following day wanted to get but now can't as you effectively queue jumped. Just because there isn't a physical line doesn't meant there isn't a line and you were trying to jump it.

I said MOST, there will be some cases that some women have larger wrists. And DSM doesn't have a range of Watch Collection watches. They only have one set until it's out of stock and it's up to Apple to hand out the next random watch collection watch. Watch Sport are the only version they carry with all colours and sizes "constantly" bar SG.



2) people dont usually buy girlfriends an apple watch



Wow! Just wow!

Talk about putting words in my mouth. I never said that. All I said was if they do, they are either super rich or have major trust in her that she'll marry you in the future. Because giving a girlfriend an expensive watch is always a huge risk considering she can easily break up with you and find a new man later on.

I'm not talking about wives or even fiancées, I'm talking about girlfriends here.

Fine.
But I personally think this is the best way. If they put the watches in Apple Store, not only there will be constant chaos but it will be rare and extremely hard to get a watch, considering the returning scalpers.

Sorry, but you don't need to be super rich to spend £300 on your girlfriend. I've spent a fair bit on girlfriends in the past and I make good money, but am by no means rich. Nor do you have to trust her to marry you. If you can't trust her to stick it out for 2 weeks then the relationship is already pretty rocky and you would know not to blow £300 on her. However I have also spend good sums of cash on women who I'm ultimately no longer with. Don't regret the descision I made at the time though. People follow their hearts in relationships, not their heads and a lot of men are happy to spend a lot on their wives and girlfriends, even when said wife/girlfriend doesn't actually care about material things. However sometimes men just want to give them something nice because they deserve it and to show they care.

I will admit an Apple Watch is not something most girls go for, but some do like gadgets and toys more than shoes and handbags.

£300 is a lot of money man. If you don't see that, then you are probably earning a lot of money.
 
FINALLY!!

(I am sooo mature, by the way)
