Q: Apple Watch Shipping Notices

PhilLondon

i have a place in that store tomoz if u want it if mine does come but i may let u have it anyway as its a 180mile drive for me from derbyshire, i really want he watch but it will cost me a day off work plus diesel plus tube n then the watch n drive home n if they don't have my watch in ill cry

I asked specifically if there was a problem with the Pink and wasn't given a direct answer.  Everything they tell you on the chat is VERY vague.  I agree.  A more direct answer would make everyone feel better.  I think it's really unfair, especially since I'm sure it's mostly the women that ordered the Pink.  I also ordered at 3:03am and was expecting a quick delivery.  I vented quite a bit on the chat yesterday.  I know it doesn't do any good... but at least I felt better giving them the feedback.  Keep me posted if anything changes and I'll do the same.  Good luck!!!

Lola: I'm in the same place--and in the same mood--as you.

I ordered my pink band Sports watch at 2:01 CDT and received my confirmation email a minute later, yet I've seen every other SKU process, with most having been purchased after my watch was.

It's pretty clear that they're processing by SKU and it would have been nice to know that before I bought my watch. I'm planning on buying a white band, anyway, so I would have ordered that SKU if I had known that those who did are now wearing their watches.

I have this feeling that those of us with pink bands will either see movement within the next day or so, or we won't receive our watches until the bitter end.

The "boutique" deal is ludicrous. I have no problem with the Watch being sold anyplace that Apple wants to sell it, but I DO have a problem with people who did online purchasing on April 10 being passed over for someone standing in line on Melrose Avenue two weeks later.

I am on with the chat now and waiting for a manager to come online.  I expressed that since this is Apple's first time in the wearables industry, they need to do a better job in planning.  I'm sure it's mostly men that ordered the Space Grey and those seem to be first configuration going out.  I'm sure the women ordered the Pink and are left behind.  I want to give feedback to them to reconsider the roll out plan. I was up at 2:55am to order at 3am EST and agree, it's painful watching others get their watches first.  Very unfair.

I do want my watch but would feel a lot better of any of the women that ordered the Pink Sport got the watch or a confirmation of shipping.

Good luck!!!

Its nice to know I'm not the only one out there. I'll definitely let you know if I see any movement on this end. Good luck to you too!!!

@mronzano

I totally agree about a different colored band. I also had planned on ordering a white one in the near future. I consider myself to be a reasonable person, and had Apple come rightt out and said we are shipping according to scu or even if perhaps there is a production problem with the pink bands and would you like to order a different color instead would have been nice. I would have had no problem waiting on a pink band.

Ludicrous doesn't even begin to describe the "boutique" deal. Once again, lack of honesty on Apple's part comes into play here. What happened to preorders being strictly online?

Sharon is right. Venting to Appple hasn't done any of us any good, but it does help to talk to all of you.

Sharon, Please keep us posted.

I've not heard of any space gray being shipped...have you?

Why on earth would you order by phone?

Reading back through this thread, I see many.  I pointed Apple support to this thread.

LOts of Space greys ha e shippes. It's just that an enormous aniunt more space greys were ordered than anyother style, so it's a more vocal crowd.

i have now seen reports of Pink bands moving! Check out forums.macrumors.com!

Still patiently waiting for my 42mm SS Classic Buckle.  I've been congratulated by the chat folks a few times for being "in the earliest delivery window we've offered 4/24-5/8".   Doesn't help the feeling of being in Processingland.    I'm tempted to order something small from the online store just so I can see something say "Preparing for Shipment".  lol.....

AAny one have an order time of 0039 and had there watch ship?

I ordered an Apple Watch Sport (for my wife) and Apple Watch (for me) at the same time, both had despatch dates of June. However, the Sport model arrived first thing on day of release (24th April). Hopefully my watch will arrive soon because i'm getting very bored of my wife gloating and showing me every time she gets a notification!!!
