It's designed for cardio only.

So I almost jokingly listed my Sport on ebay a few days ago, and it sold.
I have no idea what to do GAF. Do I keep my current Watch and enjoy it until second gen, or should I ship it today and order a 42mm SS Milanese Loop instead? I really don't know if I can handle waiting until June. I'll also be at home over the summer and probably won't really be able to use it until August.

Depends on how popular the model is your ordering, if you got a something like a blue or green band model expect movement sooner
This makes zero sense, how do you almost list something and sell it? No need to pretend you sold it as a "joke", but this isn't the thread to ask for eBay advice

I can only speak for myself, but I have been enjoying the hell out of my Watch and I'm glad I jumped in day one of gen 1. If there are significant gen 2 improvements, then I'll sell my gen 1 when I upgrade to gen 2. If there isn't much added gen 2 (no significant battery improvements or new sensors added) then I'll skip gen 2 and continue to enjoy my gen 1 Watch.
I'm assuming that it's kind of a flexible goal system; as it learns your daily averages things will kind of normalize.

If you listed it on eBay and it sold, you need to ship it to the person you sold it to.

Poorly phrased. Realistically I listed it thinking if it sold for the ludicrous price that it did, I would just sell it. I'm legitimately sorry if this was a bad place to discuss it, particularly when so many of you are still waiting for your Watch.
He hasn't paid, which also brings into question whether or not it actually sold at all. I've had to deal with fake purchases quite a bit in the past and it might be another situation where the buyer never pays and I have to contact ebay to cancel the transaction.
My infatuation with Apple Pay is very real. I'm happy I don't have to wait until my contract expires in a few months to start using it.
That's awesome. One of the reasons I want the watch is to fuel my starbucks addiction.

I don't have a credit card that supports apple pay, i'm thinking about signing up for one that does support it... is it a game changer at places that accept it? I really want to pay with my watch 
This happens ALL the time for me on eBay. Just don't do ANYTHING until you receive the message on paypal's site.

My wife had a late May delivery window and I just got the shipping notification. I think it will come sooner than you think.

Yeah, will do. Watch battery is really good.

I'm aware of the terms, but thanks for the information either way. I'm not doing anything with it until he either pays within the allowed period or cancels.

I've been demoing mine at work non-stop for the last 7 hours and I'm at 74%.

How do I go about changing my daily activity goals? I originally chose moderate, and I've already filled the 3 circles walking around the office. I'd like a slightly more aggressive goal.
Edit: Never mind. I totally forgot about force touch.

You should feel terrible, especially when I'm still waiting till June lol
Used Fandango to add a movie ticket to Passbook, which I pulled up on my watch. I was able to head in with a soda in one hand and popcorn in the other and they could just scan the ticket from my Apple Watch. The employees were surprised about it and thought it was cool. It was very convenient to use!
Did the display not dim?
I suppose you have it set to resume your last open app upon wrist raise? I wish there was an option for both, so it showed the time for about 2 seconds and then went to your last open app.
If it's like passbook on iPhone, the screen will always be full-brightness when it's open.

Don't want to wait until June, wonder if one of these will arrive before that?

After much consideration, I went ahead and purchased a 42mm Sport (white band). Decided to finance it as well. Could always use more positive credit history. I had my father sign up for one when I bought my first Mac, so I have some experience using their card.
Will pay it off before August, most likely.

So, snoozing calendar alerts seems to do nothing - I hit "snooze" and it never alerts me again. Anyone having a similar issue there?
Also: apparently the Apple Watch does not like your wrist tattoos - http://www.imore.com/heres-why-apple-watch-does-not-play-nice-with-some-tattoos

What is the financing arrangement that you agreed to? In the UK Apple Store uses PayPal Credit and adds 14.9% interest. 6, 12, 18, and 24 month payments.

They offer financing through Barclaycard, which is tied into their Apple Rewards program.
No interest if paid in full (within your allotted time). Since I spent under $500, if I pay it off within 6 months, there's zero interest. Spending over $500 is 12 months, $1000 is 18 months IIRC.

I haven't gotten mine yet. Just checked, the estimate is between May 29th and June 11th.
My question is. I hate when it pings or alerts you when your about to go to bed. Is there a way for it to know your resting and not ping or does it still periodically just keep pinging every so often?
Don't they have NFC? If you see the symbol then go for it.

They blocked apple pay from working on it

Yes, they're an MCX member
Some places don't allow it. Best Buy is another. Even if they have this symbol:
...that doesn't guarantee that Apple Pay will work.
UPDATE: Looks like Best Buy is going to accept Apple Pay soon, though.

Can you use whatever band you want on whatever watch face you want?
As long as it's for the right size (38mm watch or 42mm) then yes.
Or you can get one the adapters coming soon and use just about any strap you want.

So, update.
My coworker ordered his Apple Watch this past Friday. 5 days ago. He just got it today. Wore it to work.
Mine, ordered at 12:30am on April 10th, is still processing for a "May 29 - June 11" delivery window.
What the fuck?
Like, it's not a big deal, I've lived this long without an Apple Watch and I'm sure I'll continue to live just fine until I get it but that seems kinda fucked up to me that they aren't fulfilling opening day preorders before people getting on the bandwagon 2-3 weeks later.

Not buying it. How did her battery die in the morning?
