With less than 30 minutes to go, I'd like to set up this thread specifically for completed preorders and reservations of the WATCH. Please keep questions and non-related comments to a minimum.

Once you've completed either your preorder or reservation, please provide the following:
  • Apple website or Apple Store app?
  • Connected via home/work/public internet, or internet over cellular data?
  • Where are you located?
  • How many did you order?
  • Which model(s) of the WATCH?
  • Preorder or reservation?
  • Number of tries, errors, issues or other incidents of note before successfully completing

Hopefully we can use this information to better judge how future Apple preorders should be handled or what to watch out for.

    - Store was not up 3 minutes after 12:01am.
    - Even though I entered all my shipping information the day before, the app still asked me to fill it out. This probably caused my order to be placed in the next batch of orders. Order placed at 12:05am. Delivery in 4-6 weeks. :(
