i think you're nit-picking the details in my rant. Yes i haven't been charged, and despite everything i am still very well intend on my purchase. I am still a customer, whether you want to be technical about it. I should still deserve good customer service.



I highly doubt this is the same old pre-order. Many have voiced their valid reasoning that this is not the same old.

as you have also mentioned that fact

It's a brand new product category for Apple. How do you judge market demand accurately when sales over the pre-order weekend completely blew away the total sales for all SmartWatches combined during the last year. I would have been shocked if they had gotten it 100% right, which is why I'm frankly a little bit surprised that so many people feel they got it SOOOOO wrong.

Yep, you're a customer. I'm not trying to be technical about that at all. There is no debate there. By your own admission you haven't paid for anything, and that negates some of your argument right there. I think that Apple was pretty good about setting expectations with the shipping date ranges they gave us. If your expectation was that 4/24 - 5/8 meant you'd get it on 4/24 that can hardly be Apple's fault. I understand wanting it on 4/24. I do too. Will I be pissed if I don't get it on 4/24? Yup, I absolutely will be. Again though, only because I am an instant gratification personality type and not because of some perceived misunderstanding on the promised delivery date. I won't be pissed at Apple though, and I won't be permanently swearing off all Apple products. I'll just be pissed in general.
 
Ordered 42mm SS with Link
8.02am UK time
Delivery 12th-26th May
Stuck in processing whilst June orders get shipping dates.

My fault for ordering one of your more expensive watches , Apple.

Link bracelets sound like vaporware to me

This isn't their first time launching a ground breaking device, with extremely high demands. They actually should be the expert at doing it by now.

…yes that is my argument… that i am a customer. that doesn't negate my own argument. All i'm expecting is a clear communication as a customer.

this is how they SHOULD have "setting expectations". probably why they removed it after.

Please, no success stories here. Only posts about how you're stuck in processing so at least I know others share my pain.

*Extra credit if you don't have any pending charges.

**Bonus points if you can't get the UPS tracking to work either.

***Legend status, if your wife's watch is coming before yours and you ordered yours first:(

I'm in that boat I got nothing at all just a 4/24-5/08 date
 
3:04 am ET ON 4/10 here. Have had "processing" and the 4/24-5/8 ship date from the start and still no changes :(

42MM SG w/black sport band.

Not a single charge yet.

Still hoping for Friday...

Processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing, processing...

I know that I should probably just wait patiently till May, but it's difficult when you here all those stories of success from people who ordered the exact same model with the exact same shipping dates, at the exact (+/- 5 mins) time.

Got my email like everyone else, and no movement for me of any kind. I'm just not expecting it in hand tomorrow. We have our delivery window, and that's all Apple promised. We don't like it.

My life will utterly SUCK tomorrow when I go to UPS and see all the Apple boxes whizzing on by and knowing that none of them are mine. I'll be tickled if one is, but I'm definitely not holding my breath.
 
Space Gray Sport 42mm

Ordered 12:04 am PDT, got email at :05.

Still processing.

In the process of changing cards I went from 04/24-05/08 to 05/13-05/27. :mad:

Didn't get the e-mail about delays.

EDIT: And I can't get that UPS trick to work either. :mad:

I just want to cry, great way to top off this week. :(

Yep, exactly how I feel. Especially when you see people who ordered AFTER you get it.
 
I'd like to claim my legend status please.

London, England.

42mm SS Black Classic Buckle ordered when store came online, in first shipping window:

No charges, no movement. Email of death.

Girlfriend ordered a day later after try on appointment:

38mm SS Milanese Loop estimates 4-6 weeks shipping.

Charged, shipped. Arrives tomorrow.

Why do bad things happen to good people?
 
:p

Hey man, rule no. 1 to Sulk Club: no success stories. Sulk or get out.:p

This is the only thing that's made me laugh while being this pissed.


My Sulk:
42mm Pink Sport
Ordered and confirmed at 12:02am on 4/10
No CC charge
Still Processing
No email of doom.
No UPS tracking
Just crickets
 
I would be legend status, except that my wife refused to buy a "pointless expensive toy" when I tried to convince her. Come to think of it, when mine does gets here, I'm probably in big trouble…
 
My issue isn't that I won't get it Friday or whenever. I get it when I get it.

My issue is that I have been able to personally confirm with friends and acquaintances that are getting the same model as I am that placed orders, in some cases hours after I did, they are getting theirs on the 24th when (as of right now) I am not. I would just like some clarification as to WHY that is. Is it because they live in different states? Used a different brand of credit card? Spend more money at Apple per year?

Does anyone have an idea?
 
I went into work early specifically to order the damn thing. I was up early, but got out of the house late. Then I had to park further away than I usually do, which added about 10 frickin' minutes to my walk.

By the time I got to a desk, it was 8:15. Then of course the network was running slow.

Checked out at 8:20, got confirmation a minute later. The fact that the 42mm/SS/CB still had a 24/4-8/5 delivery estimate (and did so for nearly another hour) gave me hope that I'd still manage to see it on the 24th.

I went into work early :mad:

Yet my order looks the same as it did the moment I ordered it.
 
I woke up early and made a try on appointment instead. Big mistake.

Now I'm stuck in processing while my boyfriend makes fun of me because he already has his Galaxy Gear (which is clearly inferior).

UGH!
