Q: 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

A:

I got my order on on 4/10 at 12:03 PST - at least that is the time on the email from Apple acknowledging the pre-order. And no, as of this evening my status has not changed from Processing Your Order to Preparing for Shipment.

I sincerely doubt if anyone will see that update until at the earliest next week. And even if they do ship, Apple's policy in the past for new releases is that the shipping company does not deliver before the release date. (Now I am sure that there are some stories about a mistaken early delivery - or perhaps a hefty tip to the UPS or FEDEX driver......)

    I ordered both 42mm & 38mm Sport Space Gray at 12:03PDT, on April 10th. I received both on May 7th. My intial ship date was May 13th. The screen is why I ordered the Sport Edition. it is far more responsive and it is far more scratch proof. All of my Sapphire crystal watches scratched easily. As for any production problems with the 42mm any Apple Watch were corrected and by MARCH the watches were rolling off the line. This is a made to order device and it is as simple as that. Even when they hit the stores they will be very limited to what they carry. The suggestion was made to sell the base watch, at the store, seperatly from the band and then the customer picks out the band. This may still happen, but that is only iMORE rummor.

     

    I was really shocked at all the watches on Ebay selling for $800.00 to $1000.00 for the sport space gray. It really upset me for obvious reasons. Folks ordered two and then sold the second on Ebay for double what they paid. Those watches they are selling could be on wrists of so many other people that ordered honestly instead of trying to profit from folks that have a June or later deliver date.

     

    The watches I received are really nice and worth it. I own both an LG g and a Moto 360 and comparing the Apple Watch to those is like comparing an Apple to a rock...

     

    IT is well worth the wait and please don't waste your money on a Apple Watch from ebay. It only adds fuel to the fire.

     

    Peace...

    Seems like our friends in Australia with the Space Black SS aren't getting any movement yet.

    The eBay posts made me angry as well.  I too hope no one buys them  Perhaps Apple should have limited sales to one watch...might have resulted in more timely deliveries.

    Has anyone who got the original delivery window of 24/5 to 8/5 still not got their watch? Just curious to see how far Apple are behind, if at all.

    I've started a page on my site to track orders, once I get enough data, I'll present it in a nice visual so you can see when you watch will get there.

     

    Go to http://www.thejumpstarters.com/apple-watch/ and fill out the form, I'm hoping to have enough data within a day or 2.

     

    Thanks!

    Not a good idea asking for order numbers!

    I ordered on 4/10 at 3:03 est, 2 minutes into the pre-sale, a 42mm stainless steel with link bracelet. My shipping window is 5/13-5/27. I am still processing!!! Has anyone with the link braclet started to ship? I was very hopeful for an early ship date based on all the comments but no luck. Just cant believe at 2 minutes in and still nothing.

    Great idea on the site, but I'm not willing to give up my order number. No one else should be willing either. I'll be honest, I'm extremely skeptical about putting my info into the site because of you asking for my order number. I would highly suggest taking that requirement off. Also, I think you should add another option for the Space Black link bracelet seeing as the manufacturing for the regular link bracelet significantly differs from the Space black link bracelet.

    I ordered the Space Black version but I'm at 18 minutes past preorder openings. I know that they just started shipping out the link bracelets by themselves, so maybe that means those watch models will ship soon after. I actually ordered another Space Black model to see if it would beat the other one. Mainly just to see if there is in fact some glitches with the system. I have already had apple care pending for that one twice in the past week.

    Obviously Apple is terribly behind.  I ordered on 4/10 at 9:24am a 42mm SS ML with a shipping window of 5/13-5/27.  Nothing whatsoever and I always get stuff ahead of predicted shipping date.  But this will not be the case this time.

    Received my 38 mm SS classic buckle on 5/11. Ordered on 5/7.

     

    38 mm SS modern buckle ordered on 4/10 still processing. Scheduled for delivery May 13-27.

     

    I was scanning the Apple site and noticed for a brief moment on 5/7 that the 38 SS classic had a 1-2 week shipping window, so I went ahead and placed an order. That's back out to a 3-4 week shipping window. I'm glad I did. I like the classic buckle just fine and I'm a little concerned the band I ordered with the modern buckle will be too small. I plan to keep the order for the modern band watch in place for a little while to see if it might ship within the 14 day return window.

     

    The watch works just fine and I'm not noticing any delays on apps, they seem to load and operate just fine.

    I ordered my Apple Watch stainless steel black with the link bracelet at 12:04 PDT on April 10 and my order is still in process, a black sport on the same time and nothing has changed since then.... on the 11th I order a pink sport and that one said June and it is on the way for delivery today....

    So Apple is preparing to ship my extra sport band, but I just checked on my Space Black watch expected delivery and they updated the ship date from "June" to " Delivered by June 30th" You've got to be kidding me. I don't understand why I already have the apple care charged when I'm not getting the watch until then. I understand that the apple care doesn't start until activation of the watch, but it just doesn't make any sense.

    I ordered the space grey SS with link bracelet on 4/10 12:20AM shipping date 5/13- 5/27.   Having seconds thoughts now.  Does any one know if i change my order to a SS with sport band if it will put "to the back of the line" in terms of shipping?... Am I better off making a trade with someone who already purchased?

     

    just wondering if anyone has changed their orders.
