Apple Watch Shipping Notices

Just curious if anyone has received a shipping notice yet for their Apple Watch If they were lucky enough to get an early delivery date (24th). I know if is probably a bit early but worth asking.


thanks

I wonder if it got to that point of having the apple watch that anyone had on order in stock, at a store that you could complete your order if you showed them proof of purchase that they would let you get one that day? Only if they are for some messed up reason give the stores stock of the apple watches before the people who have already ordered receive theirs.

You would think that Apple would give all their employees working in the customer service department new information that would help ease the customers complaints about wanting to know more information, on this ridiculous wait time for these watches. I know that apple has good products and that this launch isn't their first kick at the can. They shouldn't release product without a really good stock amount for everything on release day. Along with the fact that they are saying that stores will be possibly stocking the watches in June at some point. That is not something you say unless there is an absolute go for having all the orders on launch and the weeks after launch to have been filled already and before having stock ready for the stores.

So you are saying that Apple had enough iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus availability to provide everyone who ordered a phone on release day? Ummm, no.


This is their first shot at the Watch they had to make certain assumptions and they were conservative. And demand was much higher than availability on certain configurations. This also happens with cars, game consoles, Christmas presents, etc. There is no magic spell where they can just wave their wand and make another 20 million Watch's.
