Add me to the list of those who ordered a Stainless Steal Apple Watch with a black band early, and has not received it.
Added to that, I tried to buy one in London... and the experience has been very bad.
Selfridges (a department store with an Apple Watch corner) had announced they would sell it on the 24th, and confirmed that on twitter. I queued with a few other people and there was no watch.
Another store had announced they will have it, it's the very trendy Dover Street Market.
Went there, a few people had formed a queue. Their website said you needed to call a number to book an appointment to buy the watch. Needless to say that the number was always busy. Most of us in the queue called repeatedly, maybe 200 times, and never got through. It wasn't a switchboard where you were placed in a queue, but a normal line.
We were told not to queue, so after a while I left... only to realize that after a while they admitted the system didn't work and they did let the people in. (I saw that on twitter) so I went back to the store at 3PM and there was a small queue, someone closed the queue with a rope right in front of me, and said he's closing the queue for the day....
I am a dev, and some people are using my app on their watches, an not me! That's cruel!
