Still not a peep about my order from 14 mins after pre-orders went live. Not gonna lie, this wait kinda sucks. It's hard to plan around receiving a package when all that I have to work with is a 3 week timeframe. Double edged sword of having next-day shipping...you get it fast but you only get like a day heads up.
I'll be traveling next Tuesday and I'm stuck trying to gamble with changing my shipping to where I'll be traveling to or hoping I'll get the thing on Monday. Is it possible to change shipping once it gets to the "Preparing to Ship" stage? At least then I'll have a more clear delivery estimate to work with.

Nah, they'll make you wait a month and a half and never ship your item or give you any hint of when it may be ready to ship.
I received my watch on launch day. If I want to add AppleCare+, how do I do it?
I really didn't think it was necessary, but I've had a bunch of close calls where I banged it or scraped it against something and while the watch has come out unscathed it was pretty jarring. I guess you don't realize how often your wrist bangs against stuff until you're actually wearing a watch.

You might need to take it in? I think for the iPhones they have to inspect it for a second.. though I think on the Macbooks they don't have to?
Yeah, I wear plastic/rubber swatches all the time and constantly bang them on stuff. Not sure how thats gonna work with the Apple watch. I actually welcome scratching the steel part, but I've heard the sapphire lens is a bit brittle?

Just found it. Their website says that AppleCare+ can be added within 60 days of purchase.

Yeah, must be nice to have an Applewatch to get Applecare for.
I'm gonna be salty as hell until I get this thing.

Does it have fine tuning for size on the clasp, or only by removing links?

I'm pretty sure that Simon Pegg was wearing an apple watch on the Graham Norton show last night.
Only removing links, but the links are relatively small compared to many link bands out there, so each link is a reasonably fine adjustment. I got mine to fit pretty snugly on my arm, there's a little bit of movement but it's not very significant.

Anybody else get an email from Apple Market Research? Filled it out, hopefully taken into consideration for the future.
Yeah he's got one. See here where he shows it off in the video

Finally got a general shipping window (last week or so of June till the first week or so of July).
Hoping it gets delivered earlier than that, but at least it isn't late July.

You'd rather have early July than late June?
Edit: Never mind, you probably meant late July.
My window was May 13-27 and it arrived on the 13th.

Yeah, was a typo. Eyes were a little tired this afternoon so I didn't see it till just now.

Seems like everyone is getting the same June 22-27 window, on the Mac rumor forums people who ordered on 4-10 and 5-10, a month apart, got the same window

That sucks. I ordered it on April 15 and I am being quoted end of June. Though I wonder if they will possibly ship out sooner, seeing as that was the case for many people here and other places.

What's all this jazz about bold text on the watch?
I made an app watch owners might find nice.
It puts some statistics of Health on your wrist.

I ordered mine (42mm black sport) at 19 mins past launch and received an email on Friday night that the watch has shipped and will be with me tomorrow.
Good thing I happened to have access to £339 as the shipping date they gave me a fortnight ago said 29th May-8th June!

What do you mean?
I've tried it and it looks awful.

I expected Hue to be one of mine, but it takes so long and is so fiddly to get to the point where I can turn lights on and off that it's just rubbish compared to the how long it take to do it from notification centre on my phone.
Basically the same experience I've had with every third party app.

Exactly. When I have my phone in hand it's quicker to use it for the Hue app from the notification center. When I don't though I prefer to get the watch, even if it takes more actions and more time.
Hope things will get quicker when real apps are doable, and when we get a kind of notification center actions like on iPhone.

Next month at the earliest because of how backed up they are
The native apps thing is going to be interesting. It'll get rid of the loading spinners I assume, but it's still going to take longer to find and launch those apps on that tiny homescreen with all the panning and zooming you have to do. And Watch apps are still going to be severely limited in functionality compared to their iPhone counterparts due to the tiny display, lack of keyboard, etc. They'll still be much slower obviously and there'll still be network issues as it shares your iPhone connection.
Basically I don't think it will change the current app situation all that much. Really curious how Apple will handle the messaging on this too, 'all these apps are running natively and now your battery life is much worse, enjoy the update!' There's gonna be a ton of backlash if that is the case.

Finally had a chance to stop by an Apple Store and play with the Watch in person. It pretty much was exactly what I expected, so now huge surprises, but it did allow me to compare sizes, and determine that the larger one is right for me.
The criticism that the Watch isn't as intuitive to work with right away are kind of spot on. Even knowing how it worked, I still had to play with it a bit to figure some things out. That said, it also didn't seem like it had a steep learning curve either, so I imagine a day or two with the thing and you're all set.
I've been traveling a lot, so I've been reluctant to order one as I might not be around when it arrives. I'm hoping I'll be able to go pick one up in the store once they become available there in June. We'll see.

Guessing you can't use siri to kick off third party stuff? 'siri, turn my lights off' would be useful.
