I absolutely love my Apple Watch. I got the 38mm SG Sport and am very happy with my choice. I was concerned about the size as many others, but I have small wrists and the 38mm is perfect for me. I have about settled down as to my settings, faces, notification settings, glances, etc. Now I am looking for any additional useful apps. But I'm not going overboard with installing new apps, only ones I know I really want. I've installed Wanderlust which provides a great replacement for Notes/Reminders. I have also installed Living Earth, which provides better Weather information IMO. As far as notifications, I have Mail, Messages and Facebook turned on. On my calendar for today is to go to my Apple Store and purchase AppleCare+ for it. Also, I am browsing Amazon looking for a charging stand. That was one problem I had last night finding a convenient place next to my bed to charge the watch. That is one long cord and I just couldn't get it situated right (I know third world problem). Now if Apple would just let you install a custom background picture on the Modular face I would really be happy.

Anyway, for those that haven't gotten yours yet, hang in there. It is well worth the wait.
 
For a charging stand you can look at the Apple Watch Accessories forum. They have a ton of them listed. I would recommend you go through the entire thread, as some are not listed until farther in.

I have the Griffin Tech stand coming, I like it because it has a place for your iPhone as well as the watch, and also a unique way to coil up any unwanted cable.
 
"third world problem"?

That was one problem I had last night finding a convenient place next to my bed to charge the watch. That is one long cord and I just couldn't get it situated right (I know third world problem). ...

The Third World wishes it had that problem ...

Hey Wolfpack, just got my Apple watch today too. can you check the usage in the Apple watch app to see how much space your music app is taking? I didn't store any music on my watch, but it says 71.5 MB is being taken up by music, and it's gone up without my using the app at all.

I'm thinking this just may be how big the music app is for the watch. Can you let me know what it says for you? Thanks!
