Will the site handle the traffic?

I don't think they well sellout right away. They're releasing them in basically every country, and they've had a long time to produce them.

It's simple. The Apple Watch is nowhere near as popular as a new iPhone. Less people will be pre-ordering it.

Use the Apple Store app, it's much quicker.

It's safe to assume that they've made far less Apple watches than they did iPhones so you could realistically expect it to be just as hard to get one at launch.

True. Still think it'll be easier to order than the phone. Time will tell.

How many will we be able to order per account? I cant decide between 3. So I was going to return the ones I don't like. TIA

If I was them I wouldn't be betting the farm with massive stock.

I mean, if it's a new iPhone it's safe to make a zillion.

I'm counting on a sell out.

We shall see right? 😀

I believe the  Watch will sell out, but I don't think the servers will be overloaded. Only the iPhone can do that.

The forum is already having issues. Currently 1,000 active users.

Their pretty much the same speed. Even though the app doesn't have express checkout, all you need to do to finish the purchase (provided you have your CC saved to your account already) is put in the 3-5 digital security code from the back of your CC. That'll confirm and complete the purchase.

from experience app is a more stable experience and quicker. Also in the past it has accepted orders before the web.

Thank You so much. I toke your advices on this and was able to order in a matter of few seconds (I have never ordered something from Apple on the first day) It was dead easy and quick. And to my surprise, the web store was OFF Line few minutes after I had placed my order and already received confirmation from Apple. And few minutes made difference on a weeks delay apparently this time.
