The lack of queue on launch day is more likely due to stock level, which isn't her fault. She's done the best she can with the stock she had. Imagine if Apple had split it between retail and online. There'd be even more uproar from the people that preordered.

People need to learn the correct people to blame....


No excuse. Apple have had months to get this right.
 
Guys, do you reckon who's already been charged is going to get it on Friday? Hopefully not Saturday as I put my office address :eek:

I wish I could just fall asleep now and wake up on Friday morning...


It's a good guess, yes. Until we start getting tracking numbers, it's all guesswork. I'd reckon anyone that's been charged will get there's Friday, since it's a logical assumption.
 
I'm only gonna say what everyone who is pissed off is likely to be thinking right now...


Steve Jobs would NEVER have allowed this to happen!

We don't know what went on behind the scenes, supposedly there was screen yield issues. **** happens and they've done the best they can. Angela isn't the one to blame for lack of stock tho, which is what people here are doing. Blame Tim or someone else for that. Some people on here are acting like petulant children.

Because he was so infallible, never had any failures, like MobileMe, Ping....

Also, after the last few weeks, why do people put so much stock in what Apple Chat reps say? These people also claimed the watch came with 2 complete bands, not one and a half! Common sense is lacking a lot in this forum...
 
Just checked my bank account and my available balance is around £500 less than the amount presently in my account. My Apple order was £339 and I haven't made any other big purchases so hoping its that.

My Apple order is still processing so no updates on that side of things.
 
Has anyone been charged for a 42ss with black sports band? The money for my sport has gone but not SS??
 
Videos of an actual retail model opening apps? Or just the demo model boot up video? If it's the latter, it takes longer to boot up due to it being a demo model.

Example: a video by the verge called "Apple watch review, it's finally here" ...that looks like a retail fully functional unit to me?

Can you imagine how embarrassing it will be - you're the 1st to get apple watch, everyone wants to see it and then the awkwardness while it hangs on a loading screen. That should not happen! I can't keep defending apple any more, I'm tired.

They're early production units, not actual retail ones. They're given to sites to review, on the basis that they are early versions, and that there has/will be software update between those people getting those versions and when us Customers get ours.

This can all be fixed with software.

Nope I don't believe they exist at this point! Literally every other combination has been posted about apart from this one. There are loads of us waiting. They can't possibly have NONE, can they?
 
IMHO I thought it was ugly. It reminded me of the second hand watches I used to see at bootfairs as a kid.

Interesting, I was undecided on this one or the blue leather one. It doesn't ship until June so will pop to store and check a few out and cancel if I don't like.

Will store have stock of straps on Friday does anyone know?

Yeah get a look at it before it ships. Hopefully you'll like it

Going by the shipping dates for straps if you order today, I doubt it. They will still have them for you to try on though.
