Pink Sport order status thread

Still in "process"

Card not billed for Apple Care or Watch.

Getting the runaround from the chat sessions.

Really frustrated...

Well, my fiancé got his watch today. I had to convince him it was okay to take it out of the box and use it haha but it is so amazing and makes me want it so badly come on Apple what is this?! I'll tell you what it is - RUDE! They could have mentioned that these wouldn't be out for launch...

I'm sitting here typing this watching my g/f play with her white one, we ordered at the same time!

I think the two week window was a bit weak even with it being a new product. I don't recall this being the case with the 1st Gen iPad. My 42mm white sport showed today but my wife keeps asking when her 38mm pink is going to show. Hopefully within the April 24 - May 8 window she was promised.

If not, at least you'll get money out of Apple. If it isn't in my hands by the 8th, you can bet your butt I'll be calling them up

That's interesting! Does Apple have a guarantee and they payout if they miss the promised delivery date? Kinda like the pizza joint down the street

Apple could learn a thing or two from the pizza joint: when the pizza joint has pepperoni on the menu, they actually have pepperoni in stock to put on pizzas!!

Just ordered a 38mm green today for funsies to see if I would get it before my pink watch. The green had a ship date of June.

Guess which watch was just went from "processing" to "prepared for shipping" and charged to my credit card?

The green watch.... That I ordered today.

Wtf Apple!

What time did you order the green? 38 or 42?
Update: I ordered a 38mm and a 42mm at 2:35pm est today.
The green 38mm had been charged and updates to prepare for shipment.

hey guys... i had a pink sport ordered xx:03 at launch. Since then I've ordered a 38mm white band on 4/23 and now is shipping. I think the best way for you guys is to order the popular model (white lie green) and then contact apple for the band switch...

 

[Evanbrooks889]

I ordered the pink but I got my husband the SG black bc I wanted the SG case and he wanted the silver...
Considering the pink and black have been so back logged... I ordered the green one today (which I decided after my try on- I wanted green more than pink anyways)...
I have also ordered the 42mm green.. That hasn't update. Granted it was ordered today.

 

[Deborah-Houston]

I ordered a 42mm Sport with pink band at 0:06 on 4/10.

Late this afternoon I ordered a 42mm Sport with blue band...it hasn't moved from Processing yet, but at this point I fully expect to receive it before the pink one!

There you have it Tech Journos. Your #watchgate article. Not a single PSB exists. Neither UK or US boutiques has them on launch day, and 3 days worth of #applewatch searching on insta/twitter etc shows not a single PSB unboxing or wear.

This should have been acknowledged at pre-sale. #duped

Forgive me but weren't you promised a delivery between 24th April and 8th May? They can still deliver on their promise...

I'm intrigued as to why there are no pink bands yet though. I'm in a similar situation to others here with my 42mm Stainless Steel with white band arriving yesterday but the 38mm Sport with pink band for my wife still just "processing"

Forgive me but considering no one on any forum Twitter or Instagram has reported shipping of the sport pink on the 24th that means they did NOT deliver on their promise of the 24th because clearly they had none to deliver on the 24th.

Same with ours Ben
(Nice to see u btw )

The wife's pinks one shows no movement similar to all the pinks ones, my SG sport arrived as expected

I couldn't agree more!

Will I be excited when the watch finally does arrive or, when it does get here, will I be so fed up and simply say "meh"? Bad Apple, bad!, for pouring cold water on the launch day experience with your phony Apr 24th date! Fingers crossed though for keeping the excitement fire burning

Since none were in stock at Maxfield, it's clear they haven't been made. So we will probably not get them until the 8th.

Real smart marketing decision, Angela. Gosh, I wonder if she'll send out another Kiss Of Death memo to us?

Pink bandsters, it is with great sadness I write to tell you I have moved on. I ordered a 38mm green band yesterday to see if it would come before my pink band. As of 9:32 am EST this is these are the statuses of the watches

Pink - Ordered on April 10 at 3:01 am EST
Status: processing

Green - Ordered on April 24 at 5:25 pm EST
Status: SHIPPED and will be on my doorstep on Monday April 27

My pink watch has now been cancelled!

It's been a wild ride for us Pinksters and clearly Apple was not ready to sell that particular color. Shame on them for not being forthcoming with this crucial piece of information.

 

[adammull]

Just ordered a White Sport. Says June. We shall see.

I want pink but I want the watch more.

 

[thefredelement]

Just ordered a green, I'll order a pink band if it ships first and then just cancel the other order.

 

[Zn420]

I just ordered the green as well. Good luck all

 

[HiItsMe]

Don't cancel your Pinks. We are promised a pink in less than two weeks. Apple has a two week return window. Wear your alternate until the pink shows up then return it. Or if Apple doesn't meet the May 8 delivery date, we might get some kind of compensation. Just a thought.

Congrats man! I would do that. But I need a 42mm. I tried on the 38 and it was WAY too small. Glad you got your watch however.

I'm almost at the same point as the previous posters. I put the order in at 1203 AM 4/10, got a confirmation at 1207 AM 4/10 and I see lots of folks who ordered after that already showing off their watches.

I've tried the chat and I get the runaround from them with inconsistent answers.

It's obvious that Apple isn't filling these on a first come first served basis.

Seeing no pink bands delivered at all indicates that these bands were placed on the same lowest manufacturing priority as the link bracelet.

Apple should have said right from the start that the initial deliveries would be between 4/24 and 5/8. They didn't. That gave us a false impression that every model would at least be in stock.

Just ordered a 38mm white sport for my wife and I'll see which one ships first. The fact that I haven't heard of anyone receiving a pink version so far tells me something must be off which is causing them to fail Apple's quality assurance process. Besides, I can always swap the band out for her later, which is something she was already looking forward to.
