Apple watch delivery

So let's assume that you are the very first apple watch ordered.....Will apple SHIP on the 24th, or DELIVER on the 24th? If Ship....is it next day? Ground?

If you are that person, you will receive an email with shipping information once it's available.

Apple Watch order status says processing items. Shows delivery date of 4/24-5/8? Is this normal?

Apple Watch order status says processing items. Shows delivery date of 4/24-5/8? Is this normal?

I read that Sport Space Grey models (black band) are not among first to be shipped whereas Sport Aluminum White band is shipping. This could also be anecdotal. Time will tell. As said here, no one promised 4/24 delivery.
Looking forward to it, though.

Apple Watch Expected Delivery - Purchased at 12:10AM 4/10/15

I purchased my apple watch as soon as I possibly could this morning. The website was unresponsive for the first 10 minutes then finally I could place my order. My question is, is anyone going to receive their watch on the 24th. If so, what one did you order. I ordered the apple sport, 42mm in space gray with the black sports band and it says it will ship in 4-6 weeks. Is this just an error in their processing?
Please let me know your discoveries. Thanks
-Josh

My guess is that if you didn't get into the Apple Store website for over 10 minutes, thousands got in and ordered before you did. Many people followed the tips & tricks and had very little to do when the watch was released for sale. They had already searched, discovered and decided upon their choice and had marked it as favored in their account. They had already logged their credit card into place in their account, as well as their billing & shipping address and then they activated 1 - click purchasing. All those folks had to do was 4 or 5 clicks when they got into the Apple Store website and their purchase was made and in the queue for the available stock.
The other big tip was to use the iOS Apple Store app on an iOS device; iPhone, iPad, iPod because they seem to connect to the Apple Store online more easily than the website in a browser on a Mac or PC. I connected with the Apple Store app on my iPad. I was connected by 12:03 am, clicked my account, clicked Favorites, clicked the price, it turned to Purchase, I clicked purchase, the order was presented for approval with my credit card, billing and shipping address pre-filled and I approved the sale. I was done between 12:04 - 12:05 and out of there.
Not the same watch as you, but the one that I wanted.

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!

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...

Apple watch orders

With the apple watch ordered and the delivery estimated for June I was wondering if my order will be fulfilled before the retail sales begin at say Verizon or Walmart? It would seem unfair for a retail customer to get a watch before a pre-order customer.

I have preordered mine in Germany last Friday. Delivery in 4-6 weeks.
But after one day the just canceled my order because the delivery adress is "not valid".
Two days before I ordered something else and it was delivered to the same adress.
So WHY Apple??? I'm so f****** pi****!!!!!
Now I had to order again and wait until June or longer.
I really love Apple products but this is inacceptable!!!

Apple watch shipments

hello everyone, I ordered the 42mm SS Milanese Loop Apple Watch April 10th with a confirmation email around 2:05 CST with a delivery window of 4/24 - 5/8.
I paid for the watch using apple pay and still haven't seen any charges come out of my account. I've been checking constantly my order page and it still is saying 'processing'. Is anyone else in the same boat?
It just ***** seeing everyone else statuses updating; even those who wasn't in the launch window changing to preparing for shipment.
Am i overreacting and maybe my watch just hasn;t been checked in or its most likely i won't be receiving it by friday.

Call your store and ask them. Nobody here will know....

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......)

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.

Will I be able to make the Apple Watch Link bracelet longer to fit my wrist size?

I am getting the Apple Watch Space Black Link Bracelet, but I found out that the bracelet is too short for my wrist. Will I be able to add more links to the bracelet to make it bigger so that it could fit my wrist?

As Wegras, said on April 24th you won't be able to. Apple is not even allowing in-store pickup for either the Watch or the new Macbook Retina because they don't want those lines.
I have read that at some point in the future you will be able to walk in and purchase, but only G-d (AKA Apple) knows when. The guesses are sometime after the supply chain (which already put delivery dates on most watch/band combos into June) is more settled.

Make ordering an Apple Watch a positive experience

On April 10th I ordered an Apple Watch. I received a confirmation email of my order and then .... nothing. Well guys, you could have turned my order into a more Apple-like experience. Why would you not allow me to get more delivery info (e.g. latest week number for delivery) by letting me submit order details? Or why not send me an update mail every week, with more info on my new purchase? In that way you don't only inform me about the greatness of my purchase but also turn me into an Apple Watch ambassador. The good news: it is not too late yet!

If they ever decide to to that, I hope it's opt in. The last thing I need or want is more marketing email, even from Apple. Once I get my Apple Watch, I will decide how great it is (or isn't) and tell people accordingly. I'm not going to try to talk anyone into buying something I haven't yet used.

Can you sync the apple watch to more than one phone?

Say I wanted to leave my phone at home. Could I sync my apple watch to my husbands phone but still get my texts etc???

If you're within about 20-30 feet, sync will be via Bluetooth. If the phone is on a wifi network, you can be farther away: exactly how far varies according to the quality of wifi, walls etc.

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.

Calendar App on Apple Watch

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening fellow Appleites,
Received my Apple Watch on April 24th via UPS and have been like a kid on christmas morning since! It really is spectacular. Some glitches, certainly, but thats to be expected from any new product release. Something else to be expected is that not everything will be included in the first release ... As people say what they want, Apple will no doubt incorporate these wishes into future versions of the OS - we all know that, so if some features are missing from 1.0 ... big deal! Having said that ... I have a quick question I am hoping the collective Apple Watch Community can help answer.
On the Calendar Watch App, it appears I can only view the current month ... not future or prior months? I feel like being able to scroll through months is something fairly basic and would be included in a 1.0 iteration ... so I am thinking user error. But i've tried a couple searches on various sites with no luck in finding out how to swipe to future/previous months and am hoping "you" can help me. I thank you in advance for your help!
Happy Time Telling!

I believe it's not possible. It's already 1st of May here in Sydney and I cannot get back to 30th April.
Interestingly I did not notice in the last two days that I couldn't get into May. Maybe I couldn't see May in the monthly calendar but I could at least scroll into May in the day view.

Buying Apple Watch in US later in the year for Australian use

Later in the year I am thinking about purchasing an Apple Watch in the US while on my holiday over there. I am wondering, if I bought an Apple Watch there.. Will it work/pair with my Australian phone.

As far as anyone knows (and no one here has an Apple watch yet), yes.
