Sooooo, I've been a bit bummed as I think this is the first time since the first iPhone I haven't been able to finagle a product on release day. Besides all the ways that Apple completely pooched this product release, it's going to be worth the wait. Every time I see the stainless watch and that link bracelet (sorry dark fans, I went traditional silver) I almost get the shivers. That thing is stunning!

Yes stunning is absolutely correct. The more I look at it the more it looks perfectly designed for the watch. I really can't wait!
 
Seems like they charged/fund checked many of us on the 22nd who got our orders in the first 3 minutes on the 10th. My wife got charged on Monday and her charge is still showing as a temp charge also. Hers is on the truck to be delivered today. Really cant tell what that was Wednesday evening to be honest.

Her temp charge fell off yesterday 5 days almost to the minute that her charge showed up Monday (Barclaycard) Her SS 38 wsb was delivered yesterday and was given a full charge last night after it hit the system as delivered.

My temp charge is still there. I would expect it to fall off Monday night now. Hopefully those of us that got the temp ping on our cards get the first batch that go out when they are ready.
 
Awesome thread

Finally a thread just for the SS Link!

Ordered on 4/10, confirmation 2:02am central. CC charged 4/22 and still processing :mad: Maybe things will get moving Sunday evening. It would be nice to have a Monday delivery!

At this point I'd take just getting the ship date to say something other than June#

LOL!! I hear you. What Apple should have said was "Apple Sport" available 4/24/15 and "Apple watch and Apple Edition" available May/June 2015. This would have helped ease some of anxiety (well some).
 
So I'm assuming we are all aware that the link bracelet by itself is set to ship by Wednesday, April 29th, anyone here think that's a good sign some of us that ordered within the first 3-4 minutes will be getting our watches in that same time frame or maybe a little bit after? Maybe Friday? I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts.

Friday would be nice. I cant imagine they will ship the bands themselves out before any Link watches are shipped out

I can't imagine that either, but link bracelets by themselves are slated to be shipped by Wednesday. Unless that is when we get our watches as well.

Based on the fact that a handful of us got preauthorization checks on our cards Wednesday night ... the timing could be right. First orders got dinged Monday for other models and shipped out 4-5 days later. The window is through May 12 though so we'll see.
 
Just to throw in another data point: ordered SS 42mm with link bracelet, confirmation email at 3:01 EDT with May 13-27 delivery date, card charged on the 22nd and is still pending in my BoA account.

I've scoured Twitter and other forums and have not found a single person that ordered the link bracelet and received them. The only ones I've seen have been the ones gifted by Apple or display models in stores.

I'm still thinking it's likely we get them earlier than the May 13 date, but when is anybody's guess. I got my hopes up with Wednesday's charge but that went nowhere. I almost would have preferred to not have that tease. :rolleyes:

I thought I was OK and resigned to getting it later, until I see all the pictures of everyone else with it. Makes waiting a lot harder. :(

Seems like the ones that got card dings were in the :01-:02 range. Im thinking more and more these are now an indication that the first batch are close to going out.

It makes sense. Seems that sending just the link bracelets no watch prior to those of us that ordered the watch with link would not make sense. Fingers crossed for next week. I'm 04 and I have no credit activity at all.
 
I want this band so badly. I just got back and forth with the price. I can afford it, but it is nearly $500!

The range is actually April 29-May 12. Many of us got watches at the start of the range but who knows if the bracelet will be the same

Exactly. That seems to be a big misconception here. No one should be expecting this to ship "by 4/29." They should be expecting this to ship by May 12. If anyone gets 4/29, then great, but that is not what they have promised.
 
12:06 and still waiting. No cc activity.
Had try on at Apple Store earlier today.
Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship in the making of this bracelet. So much lighter than expected, a real + for comfortable wear. Can't wait to get my hands on this baby!
 
My situation exactly. Wish I had ordered the black sport band with the watch and the link separately. I did the opposite and got burned.

Sorry for you...I did exactly that...still don't have a watch shipped...but I will prob get it sooner than link orders...maybe cancel and re-order...
 
7 planes on the way to Lousiville between now and 8:30am.

Fingers crossed it's all SS links!!! Seeing as I'm not seeing much chatter abou charges tonight they must take place in KY not AK.

I've done two try ons just because!

Does anybody actually have a 4/29-5/12 on the link? I was under the Impression they were all 5/13-5/27 (4-6 weeks).
