Why don't u go to Apple Store for a replacement?

They don't have replacements in store.

Sorry to hear about that.

What was wrong with it?

There is a mark on the speaker port side of the casing and there are two tooling marks of some kind at the top at the edge of the screen.

Did you get the Apple Care? If you did the will mush order you the replacement and then you send in the busted one.

What was wrong with it?

Called Apple and they said that the only option was to send it back (week or two) and for them to then send out a replacement (3-5 weeks) I do have Apple Care and that was the best they are willing to do.

On my 3rd day of wearing mine. Love it! But a question for you guys. How tight or loose are you wearing it? I seem to be in between a link size. Of course. I removed 7. If I remove 8 it's just too tight and doesn't move on my wrist at all. But with 7 out it's slightly too loose. I think I'm missing some of the vibrations and taps. I'm not missing them all so I'm not too concerned. But how loose is yours?

42mm Stainless Steel Case with Link Bracelet just check my order status. I changed my order to this on on 4/23 and it still processing shipping in 5-6 week.
but when I am going to the apple store site to put a new order it say ship in 4-5 weeks
what going on?

I'm in a similar situation where the status shows a timeframe longer than new orders placed today.

Some say that the 5-6 weeks is from the time the order was originally placed.

But that doesn't make sense when you compare it against the actual June dates that they show.

I love the way my ss link looks but I've been unable to wear it because it pinches too much. I need to add one maybe two links tops for the right fit. Really don't want a third party band... I hate to ask but does Anyone have links they are willing to part with?

That just looks like a pre-auth for your applecare+. They seem to do that every so often, just to make sure your card is still ok. Doesn't seem to be indicative of any change in your watch's order status. Sorry. :(
 
Hi everyone... Seems everyone got their SS w/LB... This was one of the most active threads up until a few days.... I'll take it as a good sign......

In any case, I'm in Plano, TX, ordered on 4/10 with email confirmation at 9:56 pm.... 42 mm SS w/LB for me and 38 mm SS Blue Modern Buckle for the Mrs. We haven't received any, in the Apple Store App we got updated from June to June 22-29, then the modern buckle updated to June 11-19 and now June 4-11. But the 42 mm SS w/LB is stuck in the same June 22-29 window.....

Wanted to see if there have been any deliveries of the 42 mm SS w/LB ordered past 10 pm on 4/10??

I definitely haven't received mine:mad:
 
It is worth the wait

As frustrating as it is, hang in there.

I love mine. Have had it just over a week and think it was a wise investment. This forum helped me get through the long wait. We are all still here with you in spirit.
