Order Thread for UK (BST)

[Spendlove]

To make it worse I was at an Apple Store today and tried a few of the watches on. Now I want it so bad!!! Lol

Yep. That is so much worse!

 

[I am Sampson]

I ordered two sports, a space grey 42mm at 8:03 and one white 38mm at 8:04 and both are still processing, nevermind.

 

[djrm]

You'd better effin' believe it!

Shipment? UK are saying dispatch

 

[adamtj11]

Been charged but still processing... 38mm Sport white strap.... Going to Belfast.

 

[JWalker1995]

i had my email at 8:03 but still not preparing for shipping :'(

 

[IllusionEntity]

lol another apple watcher blinded by their pre-order choice. The Milanese is stunning in looks and wearability

Honestly. It's not that. I was going to buy the Milanese. But I ordered the classic buckle because the shipping time was better. I then ordered an extra Milanese loop but after my try on session I cancelled the order.

Anyone ordered 42 White Sport and charged, what time was your confirmation?

 

[applemax]

I've heard a bit of info. Don't know if it's legit, so take it or leave it.

• Models preparing for shipment now are shipping from an international hub (probably Shenzhen).
  
• Models still processing are shipping locally and will be dispatched nearer to launch, so as not to overload the distribution chain.

I logged in on the US accidentally haha. Still shows UK items, but the wording is different.

 

[truesepho]

Looks like sport versions and some 38ss are getting ready for despatch at the moment, but majority of ss are still processing

 

[darrenpop]

They won't get notifications until it actually dispatches. Not just for going to 'prepare to dispatch'.

That's not what I meant. I meant an notification from their phone.

 

[SMIDG3T]

Woo preparing for dispatch.

Model: 38mm Sport, Blue band.
Order time: 08:22
Location: Edinburgh

You ordered at 22 minutes past?!? I wish (among many I know) mine was preparing for dispatch. 08:04 here

Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Grey Aluminium Case with Black Sport Band

Still no change, ordered at 8:03 :-(

The Milanese has been confirmed as the number 1 pre-order SS I believe. Surprised you didn't fall in love with it

I can't believe how much of an emotional rollercoaster I'm on over a stupid watch

Seems like a logical explanation.

Yep, I ordered a 42mm white sport, got confirmation at 08:02 and charged earlier at the same time as the rest. No change in shipping status.

Don't get me wrong. It felt amazing. But it just didn't look right to me. Maybe it is because I'm stocky and 6"2. Really didn't suit me

[adamtj11]

been charged, still processing, 42mm SG sport. also going to belfast... lets live in hope together

Amen to that.

42mm SS White Sportband charged but also processing, bound for Lisburn!

 

[ekrueger24]

Seems like a logical explanation.

It certainly does and would make sense as it would take longer to send from China rather than metaphorically "just down the road." Hopefully that would explain why it seems like half of us haven't been charged or seen movement in our orders... provided that information was correct in the first place.

Hahaha Yeah can kinda see where you're coming from then Pal. I can't imagine many builders pulling off the Milanese (not suggesting you're a builder of course lol)

 

[shandyman]

That's not what I meant. I meant an notification from their phone.

That's what I meant too. The Apple Store app on the phone will not notify until it dispatches.

 

[rob25255]

Sorry if this has been mentioned but has any 38 sports model sg black strap etc had money taken or gone to preparing? All I had was the instant £1 authorisation at 08.03 on the 10th and nothing since.

Thanks in advance Rob
