If anyones in the UK, Brent Cross has quite a few available for store pick up, just came from there and the lady told me they had some in stock. Mainly aluminium.
 
The website may not be accurate today. Friend of mine had ordered two Nike series 45mm, but was pushed til November. I had to pick up my Graphite SS so figured I'd just ask if they had any midnight in stock in the Nike even though the website showed nothing available. Low and behold they had a few in stock showing in their system (even though it showed none online). I was able to hold it for him under his name to come pick it up later today. Super easy.
 
in fact yesterday there was not a single watch available for collection and this morning some specific models have become available in some specific shops. It is clear that they have received the backorders, and have used the cancellations and extras they have received to update their stock application which must be linked to the online shop.
They turn off the "store pickup option" completely the day before launch, regardless of stock...you should see some availability today.
 
I bought two SS Gold 45MM with dark cherry leather band at the Apple store 14th street. They showed a few stores in Manhattan with in store stock.
 
I picked up a 45mm GPS in the Apple Store in Reading, UK yesterday. Limited stock but I got the green one and am glad I did as I really like the colour.
