Space Gray Orders Post here!

I have to disagree with you. What I will agree with is that it isn't for everyone and the value it presents for the cost is definitely different for everyone.

For me, I own watches, but I have several different mediocre ones for different occasions. I don't like it honestly. This watch offers modularity to the umpteenth degree. This thing can look classy or sporty. They are made with premium design, fit, and finish with durable materials which I am huge on. I track my fitness and health and have wanted a wrist worn HRM. I am constantly on the go and can't use my phone but would love to be able to see quick tidbits. Driving with this thing is awesome. Making calls, getting directions, all without really having to fidget too much (tho there is room for improvement). For me, I have used it and I can say that I feel it is worth the money.

What makes me even happier is the excitement this thing brings for the future of the watch. I can see some of Apple's "unseen" strategies that I haven't really seen anyone mention, but where things look to be going is very exciting indeed. That becomes added value to a product o think is already worth it.

I also happen to think this thing is a miracle of modern engineering and science. When I was seven ('92), I had a computer monitor that weighed 45 pounds and could display dozens of colors, had a separate computer that weight another 20 or so pounds that could connect to this thing called the Internet. I look at this thing on my wrist and am occasionally floored by that concept. What a mind trip!

Like I said though, I can honestly see why some people may not find enough value to justify cost in this product as well.

I hear you there...but probably the main thing I didn't like was the fact that it drained my iPhone's battery bad, I was used to getting about two days on my 5S, I was having to charge halfway through the day, just something to keep in mind, probably not so much if you have a 6 or 6+, those batteries are a lot better... but still expect to see your battery drain a lot faster no matter what phone you use

Woo! I think the wait is almost over. Over placed 16/4/15. Switched to PFS and card charged this afternoon - same with my partners order which was ordered on the 15/4. Both ordered 42mm SG BSB. Here's a screenshot of mine for those who are sceptical.

Congrats! Ordered the same day in the U.S. Still looking at awhile as they are just now shipping around 1.5 hours after preorders started.
 
I ordered mine on april 10th in the US and i have a delivery estimate between the 28 may and 10 june. Do you think i will get it before the 28 ( i have next day shipping)? Im worried becouse Im leaving the 29 for 2 weeks....

What time was your confirmation email from Apple on April 10? Need it in California time.

There are about 150,000 watches ahead of you in the U.S. There will likely be a lot of watches delivered this week but with only 3 business days to your deadline, it is probably less than a 50-50 chance it arrives by May 28. Your credit card will need to be charged very early on May 27 in order for delivery on May 28.

Accuracy of Delivery Estimates

I've done the line-waiting thing once, never again -- have preordered my iOS devices ever since. I mostly ordered in time to get things on launch day, except for once when it came a couple weeks sooner that the delivery estimate. Was nice, but I guess spoke to the time estimate accuracy.

This time they seem to be spot on. I ordered a SGS42 at 5:01am Eastern Time and have a delivery date of 5/29 thru 6/11 -- early is out of the question, maybe by the 29th -- but I'm counting on sometime in the middle of my date range.

Mine switched to PFS yesterday about 11am (Australia) and I had a shipping notification email with tracking number by midnight the same day.
I also got the text update this morning, less than 24 hours after I first changed to PFS. 😎
 
This may be a stupid question, but at what point does the watch move to PFS? A friend of mine that ordered on pre order day said he got charged and it went to PFS when the watch hit Anchorage. Any truth to that?
 
My credit card was charged, for some reason I had to re-enter the number, or it might have shipped. Looks like I'll get it sometime this week.

SG42
4/10 - 5:01am Eastern US Time
Delivers: 29 May, 2015 - 11 Jun, 2015
 
Ordered On May 13, 2015, west coat Canada.
Credit card changed today.
Apple Watch Sport 38mm Space Grey Aluminium Case with Black Sport Band
Preparing for Shipment changed immediately.
 
I've posted in the May29-Jun11 thread that mine went PFS this morning. SG BSB 42mm ordered 2:35:17 (h:m:s) after ordering went live. I would imagine these threads will wind down once they FINALLY fill all the preorders. It's difficult to believe they are still filling US orders in the first few hours ordering went live a full month after the watch was supposed to be generally available but I think our long national nightmare is over (Apple watch preorders, not just David Letterman). 😱
