Q: Shipping Info for the UK?

HI all,

As most of the responses on the main "Shipping" thread appear to be from folks in the UK I thought it might be useful to have a separate one for those of us in the UK.   I only ordered my SS 42mm Blue Milanese Loop on Launch Day (24th) so I'm still Processing, and not really expecting a delivery for some time yet (my estimate is "June"), but I wondered how deliveries/shipping was going for others over here...  Anyone from the UK actually received theirs yeT for example?

 

thanks for any info

    On another subject the instruction manual refers to a "magnetic charging case".  Does anyone know what this is?  I have not been able to find any other reference to it.  Also people have been talking about a "sapphire screen" but again, it does not appear on the website.  Are these things only available in the USA?

    OOnly the Gold Apple Watch Edition comes with a "magnetic charging case" , Jose.   I reD that somewhere but so far haven't been able to find a picture of what they look like.

    Hi Ozilios, welcome to the waiting room!  

     

    If you look back to page 4 of this thread you'll have a post with most of the order status' for the posters on this thread on it, - if I remember right Nick101 already has received his 42mm space grey with white sports strap, can't remember if there's anyone else.   I know one or two that have received their 38mm space grey's tho.

     

    Which strap have you ordered along with yours?   And just out of curiosity whereabouts are you located?

    1. Overheating during exercise isn't an issue (I speak from experience - I overheat, but the watch doesn't )

    2. I don't expect you to have any problem with your tattoos either - it's where there's an unbroken expanse of dark ink right under the watch sensors that people are encountering the problem. Looks to me as if you have plenty of skin-coloured skin available (unless you have an all-over skin-colour tattoo)

    Hey ghostgirl, I ordered the space grey apple watch sport with BSB. The most popular model with a whopping 64% of people ordering it So it's no surprise it's delayed. I am so bloody impatient though especially with tech lol I'm like a kid at Christmas! I'll chexk our page 4. Im based in Somerset in the south west. I am wondering why some people have received the same model I ordered before I have after ordering mine at 8:06...

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks Nick, I started to get quite worried about my tats after reading a few ...well, horror stories really if you're like me and are desperate to own an Apple Watch but ink.   I agree though, it does seem to be more of an issue if the wrist is fully covered, especially by darker inks.

     

    I'd also tried to find outfit anyone was mentioning overheating of the Watches, but like you say, there doesn't seem to be a problem there.   Does this mean I can spend the day sunbathing with it on? lol

    Sunbathe all day, but be aware that the screen's not that easy to see in very bright sunlight

    Got my first ordered one (8:03) today!!

     

    42mm Space grey, black strap sport. Strap should be bigger. I have it on the very last hole on the big strap, but my wrist is 210mm.

     

    Second one (8:10) still processing. Will update when it changes.

    If you look in the box you get the bigger half of the strap with it   don't throw it away whatever you do!

    No, it is the smaller half in the box. The bigger half is the one that comes attached to the watch. Thanks though.

    So the strap is pretty small on you then?   Did you order a Medium or a Large?

     

    i Tried on the Medium Bright Blue Loop in the shop, it was a perfect fit for me and I'm female with what I'd describe as average sized wrists, so I would think that most men would need a Large.

     

    Just  checked my status ...yep, still "Processing"...

    Ah, that explains it.  There's nothing on the Apple website eve about the gold watch.  Still can't see why anyone would want to spend that much on something so new that will probably be ought of date in a year!
