I agree with you, people who are on the fence will decide to cancel when it's 6 weeks later and they realize they don't need it anyway. Good point.
No, either you misunderstood or I stated it wrong. I COMPLETELY buy this for myself; I'm going to be the one using it day in and day out. But part of the FUN of receiving something like this on launch day is the part of people asking about it, wanting to see it, wanting your opinion, etc. Do you think that people camp out overnight for iPhones because they just can't wait to get it home and play Angry Birds on it? Of course not...they want that satisfaction of knowing they are one of the VERY first people to have this product in their area. Even when I got my iPhone 6 on day 2 (because they closed the line early on day 1 and I had to come back), I still enjoyed looking at people in public and seeing who already had the new phone. So no, it's not only about others, but that's a part of it.
It's like buying a new car. You buy what you like in the color you like it in. You do it for yourself and to make yourself happy. But you don't drive it home and put it in the garage; you drive it around town to show it off, and visit anyone you can think of because you're proud of it.
Update!

I love the Moto 360. I secretly wish the Apple Watch had a round screen. I think it's so neat.
Stop trolling man. If you have no problem waiting the. Why are you here? Go and wait without posting here.
My solution to avoid this problem next pre-launch is to start placing my order significantly earlier than I did this time. That is only way to guarantee you're not placed in a later queue. Jus get in, place my order for the main product, use Apple Pay, and get out. I'll separate order for any accessories. And I'll purchase Apple Pay upon receipt of the main product. I'll be like a ninja. Get in at 12:01AM PST, get out at 12:02AM PST, done, go back to sleep.
I'm also in CA with a 12:04:52 email (I beat you by 2 seconds
It seems that Canada has had :04 and later shipments beginning, but us Californians (maybe USA?) haven't hit the :04 mark yet. There were some shipments today to CA that made it all the way up to about the middle of :03.
As for predicting when this will be, we aren't really sure. The next shipment tomorrow should cross into the :04 territory, and it may be us, or we may need to wait another day or two since we are at the end part of that minute. People are gauging these daily shipments are covering approximately 30 seconds per batch at this point. So I think your guess of getting charged and preparing for shipment in the next 48 hours is reasonable, but optimistic also. Let's hope.
:04:37 and on the East Coast. Still processing and also received eod.
You have a great chance to flip it for twice what you paid to someone here I bet. It the American way.
Congrats

Seriously. Funny how we have to hear the drama and remarks but we're not entitled to ours eh.
It's ok. I know the truth hurts. Sorry for the logical remarks I made. Can't seem to dwell in the dark side like some. Lol
I'm not trying to start a flame war here but some of you guys are blowing things out of proportion with the emails to the CEO.
I'm disappointed just as much as you guys are that I didn't get my watch on release day, all of us following this thread are. The problem is when we all clicked that button to place our order it clearly stated 4/24-5/8 and it's only 4/26 for most of us. If many of you are right, they are going by exact order time and it doesn't get much more fair than that IMO.
The communication was unclear since we knew they would start delivering devices on the 24th, but they clearly stated "some" not all were going to get them on day 1. Even though the BSB has felt like it was put on the back burner, we're still nowhere near 5/8 promise yet.
I think they should have prepared better and given more distinct information, but they still haven't failed on any of the promises they have made. Many of us compared this launch to others and expected that we would still get them on day 1 and chose to ignore that we we're given a two-week range for a reason. I blame myself for my disappointment since I was overly optimistic about getting it early when it was never guaranteed.
I wish you all the best and hope we all receive some good news soon though

Why is this trolling? The only people here aren't the ones who come to whine, complain and show off their poorly constructed emails to executives. There are also some people here who are legitimately excited about their order, want it to come as soon as possible, but understand that there was a limited supply. You were given a delivery window. Apple has not failed to deliver within that window. Instead, they have over delivered. The image of Veruca Salt is a perfect one.
Good for you. Same order with a email time stamp of xx:03:30 and still processing. Maybe there is still hope for me tonight.

I agree. But some on here do not like logical thinking. Apple has not done anything wrong
I don't care if I'm first or last. Being vain has nothing to do with it for me. No matter what I purchase for my own enjoyment, I anxiously await it every day. No different here. I would like to think I'd be happy with the Sport. And I would be. However, I'll be happier with the one I actually desire.
