Apple Watch actual shipping time?

When I ordered my Apple Watch is says is will be shipped in 4-6 weeks, the second time I checked it changed to shipping in June. I have heard some people says the actual deliver day will be earlier than displayed, I wonder if it's true. I know it is dumb to ask but I actually have to travel out of the states for couple of mouths, which means if I cannot get it before June I have to ship it to someone else's house to keep it for me. Btw I really want to have it before I leave though.

It has been announced that there is going to be a real delay in the delivery dates for the Apple watches until the June time frame.

Apple Watch vs Pebble Time

Hi Everyone,
I'm a bit of a tech geek and love acquiring the latest tech but I am having a dilemma in choosing between the new Apple watch or the Pebble time.
There are several pro’s a con's to both watches but my main attraction to the Pebble is it's price as it is far more affordable but I have owned the last couple of iPhones and I know that they just work and are very easy to use so I presume this will translate over to the Watch.
Aesthetically the Apple watch looks amazing but is it more style over substance? Another point is battery life, the Pebble claims up to 7 days where as the Apple watch is 1 day which is a big downfall for me.
Which one would you choose?
Anyway have any of you guy's and gal's made the plunge and spent your hard earned cash on a smart watch yet and if so what do you think of it?
Cheers
Neil

Hi gg
Cheers for your opinion. I must say I have to agree with 3D TV being a gimmick, I've got one of those too and can't remember the last time I availed of the 3D features as it usually makes me feel ill. I do think that wearable tech will take off but I might wait another while to see how it pans out.
Is anyone using a smart watch at the moment? If so let me know what you think of it.

Apple Watch Pre Order Ship Date?

I pre-ordered the apple watch at 12:05 am PST. My delivery date says May 13th-May 27th...even though I thought it was supposed to arrive on April 24th. I am actually moving May 15th, so I'm not sure if I should change my shipping location? Any suggestions or anyone have some sort of information regarding ship/delivery times that I don't know about?
I've tried to use apple customer support but there's no options to click for the apple watch yet..so I thought I'd try here first.

I'm kinda in the same boat, I'm gonna be gone for a month when is says it's supposed to ship. Here's my plan, set a reminder for four (4) days before you leave, if the order still hasn't shipped, switch the shipping address then to your new address. If you're not at your new location by the time they send the watch and can't sign for it, they will try a few more times then return to sender. Just a thought...

I want to use my Apple watch to time my patients' vital signs. The face only stays displayed for about 7 seconds. Can I change that?

I am glad that bbqdevil's *workaround* will "do the trick"
Did you give the Timer idea a try yet? It seems to me that you are really needing to know when a certain amount of time has elapsed rather than *time how long you have being taking a reading*. Will you always have your hand free to tap the Watch? If so, why would you need the StopWatch going? - just look again at the sweep second hand on the clock.
It still remains that one should be able to set the time elapsed before sleep on a Chronograph w/ sweep second WatchFace though. I have searched and searched, to no avail.
I would suggest Siri, but it seems like many issues with Siri are ongoing and might just add another problem to the mix.
If I were you, I would Call Apple Support. It is sometimes tricky to get that option in the "breadcrumb" process Apple has instituted, but I was able to test the process before suggesting this:
Click/Tap > https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Choose Apple Watch
Choose "Setup & Usage..."
Choose "The topic is not listed"
Enter "set sleep duration" > [Continue]
(I know this in not exactly right, but the point is to be vague)
Pick your poison - I would ONLY choose to talk with them on the phone
Rehearse an "elevator pitch" statement* for the Specialist that you get AND when you get no satisfaction (likely) ASK FOR A SUPERVISOR
I have NEVER gotten an answer from a Level 1 Specialist - they are reading from a Knowledge Base not unlike all the resources available to us online
I have ALWAYS gotten satisfaction from a Senior Specialist (sometimes pretty high up the chain - but always)
Here's a sample "elevator pitch" that I actually sent as Feedback on the Apple Watch User Guide page
I need to change the duration 'before' the Watch goes to sleep while observing the Chronograph Watch Face.
I am a healthcare provider. I need to use my Watch to assist me in taking vital signs. On a normal watch, I would start counting pulses or respirations at a 15 second interval on the Analog Chronograph sweep second hand > stop counting at the next 15 sec. interval > multiply X 4 to get rate/minute.
The Watch goes to sleep after SEVEN (7) seconds !! Therefore I cannot see when 15 seconds has elapsed. I use both hands regularly in the procedure, so touching the Watch is not an option - or 'raise the Watch' to my viewing position.
I, and others in the ASC forum have searched for a Setting for the before sleep duration in vain.
Let us know what you decide.

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 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......)

Why apple watch is only Available to ship until July?

why apple watch is only Available to ship until July?

Not sure what you meant to ask, but I think the backlog of the orders is all the way till July presently. But if more people pre-order, this can very well go into Aug and other future months (unless Apple catches up with demand). It will be obviously available through out the time this year or next till the apple watch 2 is released and Apple someday discontinues this model for good.

Why did my apple watch go from processing to preparing for shipping then back to processing? Did this happen to others? What does this mean?

thanks.. I'm about to... was just wondering if anyone had a similar experience and it got resolved, before I wait on the phone... thanks though..

Is there no pre-sign button on the Apple Watch shipping notification

I have received the shipping notification email from Apple. It says the shipment requires a signature. The usual "Pre-sign for this shipment" button is missing. Is there no way to leave a signature for UPS delivery of an APPLE WATCH? I have always been able to do that with iPhone and iPad UPS deliveries. This is a major hiccup.

I contacted Apple through the online live chat this morning, and the representative e-mailed me a copy of the pre-sign agreement for my watch order.
I just did a chat and got the following. So no pre-signing for me.
Because the Apple Watch is highly sought out, a signature is required. If you're not home when the courier attempts delivery, they'll leave a note on the door, and you can mention on the back of that note if you'd like them to leave the pakcage in a specific place!

Creative way to give backordered Apple watch as a gift

Hi Everyone,
I ordered the Apple watch for my husband for his 50th birthday. Unfortunately, it will not be here on time.
Anybody have any creative ideas for how to give a gift that's backordered? I don't want to just print out the receipt or a picture of the watch.
My best idea right now is to put a watchband around an actual apple and wrap it up in a box. If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.
Thanks!

Here's what I did, similar situation:
I ordered an Apple Watch for a Mother's Day present, May 10th. However, the earliest ship date is got is May 13th, and that's within a two week range. So I ordered an extra charger which shipped the very next day. So now at least I have a nice box with the Apple logo that says, 'Magnetic charging cable' for an Apple Watch. She will be thrilled.

My "regular guy" impressions of using the Apple Watch for a few days

I was asked by friends to give my impressions of owning an Apple Watch. I guess it all comes down to:
Is the Apple watch worth about a dollar a day for the first year, and free thereafter?
I guess that depends on how much value you put on being able to leave your phone on silent, remaining in your pocket most of the day.
Because of the Taptic notifications, which are distinct "taps" on the wrist by the Watch for different things, I no longer have to keep my phone volume on all day (iPhone vibrations weren't strong enough in my pocket to notify me reliably) leading to a much nicer all day experience. On top of that, when I do get a notification, I can quickly flick my wrist to see what it is instead of digging my phone out. Much nicer to quickly glance at the latest 20% off offer from "YouNeedThis!.com" and dismiss it than dig the phone out, unlock it, click on mail, ...grumble.
The ease of notifications alone makes it worth it to me. It is easy to quickly respond most of the time, too. I find myself using my phone WAY less, which is refreshing (and I am sure appreciated by those around me.)
And the chirps, pings, whistles that used to emanate from my pocket all day are gone. Ahhhhh.
A few other things I have found convenient:
Actually knowing the time, date, weather etc. easily. Sure, I could have been wearing a wrist watch for some of that, but for the last few years I have used my Smartphone for these things. They are just so much simpler on the wrist.
Answering the phone easily when doing something. I am not one to wear a Bluetooth headset around like a Borg, so being able to easily answer when my wife calls as I am fixing lunch for the kid is really convenient.
Having the next thing on my daily calendar right there visible when I look at the Watch. I use the Mickey Mouse watch face normally (hey, I have an 18 month old daughter who loves pushing and seeing Mickey "dancing") and right there on the bottom it tells me the next thing on the list. I don't know how other folks do things on their phones, but I always had trouble sifting through notifications on the phone seeing what was on the agenda for the day. Yeah I could go to the calendar several times during the day on the phone, but it wasn't convenient. It is simple on the Watch seeing what is coming up during the week. And I say "week" because the Watch only shows you what is coming up in the NEAR future. To me that makes sense. Again, it is all about quick information and what works best in a glance. On the Watch it makes sense to quickly see what is coming soon. On the phone it makes sense to meander over months and make full edits in a more convenient manner.
Setting quick timers, reminders or alarms is a breeze using Siri on the Watch. So much more convenient than digging out the phone.
Getting a quick overview on the Watch on how active I have been (or not been) has already spurred me to get up and move more often. Yes there are other devices that help with this (I had a Fitbit previously) but having it all self contained within the Watch is nice and (here I go again) convenient.
A few things that are not perfect on the watch:
The speaker is pretty quiet when trying to have a hands free "Dick Tracy" conversation. Any kind of louder noise in the room and you will have trouble.
Apple is synonymous with consistency. Their entire platform is built on making a consistent experience for everyone that just works. On the Watch, however, there are some inconsistent uses of actions to do certain things. For example, sometimes when I get a notification and I want to dismiss it off the watch I can "Force press" which brings up a "Clear All" button to tap. Other times I have to scroll to the bottom of the notification to "dismiss." I like the "Force press" thing... let's make it happen consistently.
Most apps now are really pretty useless on the watch. For one thing, the screen times out too quickly for them. For another, anything in which one needs more than a glance to get the information is MUCH easier to do on the phone. Of all the apps in the Watch App store, the only things I have downloaded and find I actually use are a quick note dictation app, a "what is nearby me" type app, and a sports scores app. That being said, I am perfectly OK with that because that is really not what the Watch is for in my opinion. We aren't SUPPOSED to be doing things on the Watch that are more easily done on the phone. Things that are designed to be quick (check time, check weather, check who just sent a message) are great on the Watch. Things like searching for the best item on Amazon are just ridiculously silly on the Watch (really, Amazon?)
Conspicuously missing from the core apps on the Watch is Apple's "Notes" app. A perfect use for the Watch is to quickly take a note of something you need to remember later. I was forced to download a 3rd party app, Evernote, for this. The Evernote app works well, but I am very surprised that this was missed by Apple as a perfect example of what would be helpful to use the Watch to do.
There is no way to set the "screen on" time to a custom time period. Six seconds or so is default and unchangeable. This makes the Watch worthless for anyone in a health profession. Nurses and EMTs still take pulses using their watch to time the heart rate. Often, with irregular heart rates, a full 60 seconds must be observed. One just can't do this with the Watch. This is quite surprising as the Watch has actually been marketed to health workers with apps even designed solely to assist health workers in their daily planning. Apple clearly wanted to be able to control battery life with such a quick screen off "feature" but allowing us to decide for ourselves the tradeoff of battery life vs. usability would be a much better choice.
There are ways to make Tweets, Facebook status updates and the like on the Watch, but it really doesn't make sense to try to do it "all" socially on the Watch. It is so much easier on the phone to actually interact socially, that it really only makes sense to do so on the Watch in more of a "one off" way. When you just have to share something quickly, but don't really have time for give and take.
Finally, some things work a bit slow or wonky right now. I expect this to improve greatly over time with future versions of the software. Stuff like this ALWAYS gets better.
So for me, the Watch is working as I expect it should. There are certainly improvements that Apple can and will be able to make, but it is saving me time, adding ease of use to many actions I do every day, and is kind of fun to use. I am enjoying it because I am not expecting it to do things for which ANY wearable would not be well suited. The things it is best for, it does pretty well.
That is worth a dollar a day... to me at least.

To put the iPod into forced disk mode, this is what you should be doing.
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least 6 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
Have you also seen this?
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
