I really want to punish APPLE for doing this to us. it's torture. but I don't know what I can do. chatting with online rep just gives you BS.
Same people would have been waiting with apps and web pages open for the strike of XX:01:00 to preorder.
And there would have been the exact same supply constraint.
Actually, it made MORE sense to wait until two weeks before launch, because people who put in preorders over a month ago would be even MORE furious about the pecking order with which watches are shipping.
Thank you! I was confused for a moment. Guess I got a long time to go. I ordered 2.5 hours after they went on sale
I ordered at 4pm Pacific because I thought I needed to try it on at the Apple Store first. Should have preordered immediately and cancelled if I didn't like it at the try on. Oh well. Weeks to go I guess.
"I ordered it tomorrow and will receive it yesterday" seems about as credible as claiming a June delivery date being shipped ahead of April/May delivery date.
Simple fact or not, I believe I have the right to more information on why so many others have been processed before me with times after mine. Thanks for your two cents...
Right on, man! You punish Apple for doing "this" to you!
For the love of God, they didn't do anything to you. And if this is torture to you, I would definitely count your blessings.

Yeah my order number starts with a W and is 9 digits after the W too so that doesn't make sense?
However, the time the email gets delivered after Apple records the order could be more for some people than others. How significant the differences are, I wouldn't know — there are lots of factors. I'm just saying the time you get the order confirmation email should only be a rough indication of where you are in line.
Personally, I'm not upset to hear other people are getting their watches, while I'm still waiting. However, even understanding that Apple gets a sudden flood of orders all at once, they need to find a way to deliver those orders within a reasonable timeframe. A person that orders a few minutes after the store opens should not expect to wait 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. And the fact that some people get theirs weeks earlier is naturally going to generate frustration.
Can you imagine what it's going to be like when the Apple Watch 2 is announced and we all sit online waiting for midnight? There's gonna be so much PTSD.
But wouldn't you have more time to gauge and increase production based on the amount of orders for specific models? You could still have the same launch date but instead of increasing production 2 weeks in advance you'd have over a month
Thanks for the NuDock link! Ordered one too! Only $19 incl. shipping for the Watch only dock. They have a nice Space Gray version that looks like it will complement our SG Sport's very nicely!
Yes, not one. lot of them. but not in US, it's happening in China. You may say things happen in China does apply here. However, even in China, some people in the first window didn't get their SG 42MM while people with JUNE delivery got them shipped.
I'm confused why people are so pissed about shipping times. We haven't even passed the first shipping window, and people are throwing fits about how Apple screwed them. So far, no one's watch has been delivered later than the date they saw when they hit "buy". So some people have gotten theirs earlier than expected. Who here knows the exact logistics that goes into delivering these? I enjoy the fun speculation and updates, but the whining is ridiculous. FYI, I also woke up at 12:00 and haven't gotten my watch yet.

No problem! I ordered the whole lamp set up! Was looking for a good bedside lamp but combining charging for my iPhone and iPad seemed like a no brainier. It's my first Indiegogo backing that's an actual product (only other was an awesome band called Rx Bandits) so hopefully the quality of the products meets the designers vision
They post some screen shots, but they are in Chinese. Anyway, I will post it here, if you can find a way to translate it.

I'll bet my left nut that this doesn't mean what whoever originally posted it claimed it to mean. Be vigilant people. There are a ton of trolls on this forum stirring the pot and finding ways to intentionally aggravate.
