I refuse to dream about my watch box being black. Please do not give Apple an ideas or it will add a couple weeks MORE to our orders while getting the box maker to remake the boxes in black.
Actually based on all the SB try-on pics the case is glossy/shiny black while the bracelet is a brushed/matte black. So it's a similar contrast but just in black. Looks awesome though!
Hmm. I wouldn't say the links are completely matte black. They do have some reflectivity to them, but no-where near as glossy as the case.
Just wish they would have had a try-on model available at our local store in Kitchener. *sigh* Had to settle for the SS link for the demo.
I hear ya - I don't believe that in ANY of the 8 or so Apple stores in the Washington DC area they have an SSB for try-on, just under the glass. Once a week I have to go and take a look, and I can't even touch it... sniff.

well just bring a hammer!
Sigh......I haven't seen ANYONE post about getting their Space Black watch, or even a change in order status......
Am I the only one feeling a bit like an orphan?????

no you aren't and the reason no-one has one is because apple didn't make any of these until people ordered them. they didn't want to get stuck with a large quantity of an expensive item and have to eat it if no-one ordered them.
Everyone should keep in mind - we're not the only ones.
- SS with Links (the non stealth version)
- Watches with Leather Loops
- Watches with Modern Buckles
There haven't been any reports of shipping.
Now, there have been a few leather loop bands ship by themselves.

As excited as I am/was about the watch, I've been starting to debate why I ordered one. I've gone the last month not missing it, realistically. Why make that big investment, for what exactly?
Will I cancel? No. But if I'm having second thoughts I'm sure others here or offline are too. Long lead times like this don't help.

Agreed, thats why i got one from a scalper and once i receive this one then ill scalp someone else w it.. I'm done w this bs..

I have been thinking the same thing! As I wait weeks to get something I ordered at midnight I feel like I lose the desire and want for the device a little more with each passing day. I, like you, have considered saving my $1099 and moving on, which is odd because I have always had launch day Apple products.

I keep telling myself it will be well worth the wait for the SS SB, but still haven't tried it on and haven't yet cancelled my order for the SS Link either. Mostly because I'm impatient and want whatever ships first, and partly because I still haven't been able to try on the Space Black model either, just look at it through glass.
Which is really weird, because I took my time buying some of my other watches like my Tag Heuer, but this is clearly playing on the impatient gadget geek side of me, not the watch snob side.

Same, this is the first Apple launch day product in recent memory that I haven't been able to get on the day of launch or at least a day or two later.

the only real way to cause a "dent" would be to wait for it to ship, open the packaging and everyone to return it as it will be unsaleable and will have to go through "refurbishing" and ultimately used as a service part more than likely i assume...
I ordered the Space Black Watch with Space Black SS Link Bracelet
I haven't seen any movement either My order is Still processing.
It is sad to see that apple gave more priority to other watches and is making us wait till the end to get ours. I am actually considering to cancel my order and get a cheap sport apple watch. So, I can the next gen apple watch.

The way I feel is that the more people that cancel because of impatience, will add a somewhat more exclusive sense of the watch to me. That is providing my wife does not have me committed for obsessing over it. My wife, and daughter by the way had theirs show up on day one. #
Yeah. The only thing I can think of to push our order to the top is to spread a rumor that you have to cancel your SB Watch order and reorder to get it sooner, because of a glitch in the order system . So this will push our orders to the top. ( Hypothetically )

theres NOTHING exclusive to this bs... the leather band equipped watches aren't shipping either..
