Any chance it will magically be here in 24 hours?? I keep hearing about this...

Hoping for this as well. I changed my shipping address to the In-laws as I wasn't going to be home, now that it shows monday, and i get home sunday i am wondering if i screwed myself over. Hoping that it shows up here early and I don't have to have the in-laws ship it to me and have to wait more time!
 
Hello, everyone!

I ordered a 42mm SS WSB in the first minute of pre-order and received it on 24/4. I was disappointed with it and sent it back after about a week.

Today I ordered a 42mm SS Link because I really wanted a new watch and I can't find any "real" watches I like and can afford. My objection to the Apple Watch was partly a feeling that it didn't feel expensive and like a piece of jewellery: the sports band is nice but doesn't make you glad you spent £519. I didn't try a different strap at the time because I didn't really like any of the other ones: I didn't even consider the Link because of the cost.

But cost be damned, lol! People seem enthusiastic about the Link and the pics I've seen give me hope that it might be exactly what I'm looking for.

My only question mark at the moment is whether I should have gone for Space Black. I was put off by the longer delivery times (SS is 2-3 weeks, SB is 4-5 weeks) and by a photo I saw on a thread where someone had scratched it. I think scratches on the SS Link will look less conspicuous.

Great pics soya! Looks great.

I was really more impressed with my link bracelet than I thought I would be. The watch that shipped was much more impressive than the one I tried on (or maybe it was just me).

I had also ordered a Space Black SS model because I couldn't decide between the two, but I really feel like the SS LB is the best looking, and the stainless steel body is a lot more versatile with other bands. Again, maybe just me. :)
 
Woooohooooo!!! Just got charged! Wow I can't believe it. Waiting on PFS now. :D

And just went PFS!!!
 

Hi! I was curious about the number of removable links on your Stainless Steel link bracelet. I just got my 42mm link bracelet only (I bought a SS bracelet as a separate band) and I see there are 6 removeable links on either side of the clasp for a total of 12. In your pictures I see 3 on each side I think. Can you please confirm? Thanks!
 
Preparing for shipment!! Finally!:D
Ordered April 18th. Says delivering June 16-22. Stuck in processing forever.

And it shipped!!!

Watch left Anchorage last night, hit Louisville earlier this morning, departure scan at 4:52am which coincides with the scheduled departure of UPS 1082 to Newark, landing in three minutes! Maybe I can get a Saturday delivery???
 
Shipped!!! Arrives Monday. Originated from Suzhou and is now in Shanghai. Amazing how fast it ships from China, 5/30 to my door on 6/1.

If the UPS service Apple is using to ship your phone has "saver" in the name Saturday delivery isn't included in the price.
 
Oh and here's the funny thing. It's from the future! It says week 22 production (June):eek:

It's the Apple Watch 2 that will be announced at the WWDC :D

Yes 6 links on each side ;)
 
Well after all the shipping drama looks like my watch is finally in Miami! I'm a bit under the weather so I'll be waiting for it all day tomorrow:D
