Official waiting up for Apple Watch pre-orders pajama party thread!

[KevinOniMore]

My Dog has been on his death bed for three days and today he turned around and now I am getting an apple watch! What a difference a day makes

Does anyone know if you can purchase Apple Care after you pre-order?? i.e. take it to the store and add it on the 24th?

Typically, you can purchase AppleCare+ any time in the original warranty period (1 year). It may be subject to inspections and/or remote testing. At least that's how it works for the iPhone.

a tempered glass screen protector is an unrequited accessory for the watch- it will hinder the force touch feature of the watch.

Been trying to sell a garmin fenix for a month now ...

My two year old is refusing to sleep tonight. He must feel my excitement and want to stay up and order with me. That or he just sees an excuse to not go to bed.

Can I ask: what happened to Zen and Tech? Loved that show.

When the prizes are giving out how do we know who wins? Do we have to stay up and watch every post?

Good question! And the answer is nope. I'll announce names here, but I'll also email the winners.

I thought you could take calls on it

I Thought you could only through speaker though

 

[lexic]

Nope. No ability to take/make phone calls on the watch.

That is not true. The calls are routed through the iPhone, but the watch has a speaker and microphone. "Use the built-in speaker and microphone for quick chats, or seamlessly transfer calls to your iPhone for longer conversations. To mute an incoming call, just cover Apple Watch with your hand."

Why do you think it would hinder it? If it is measuring actual pressure put onto the screen, that would translate through a protector. And if it is measuring an increasing touch point, that would work also through a screen protector.

So this is a lie

My CC got hacked a few months ago and I hadn't updated the Apple Store info. Luckily I remembered to do that before it went down...(WHEW!)

Speaking of Apple Watch generations - the next gen Apple watch better have a front facing camera of some sort, it will be majorly required by snapchat users for posting snaps else a Watch version of the Snapchat app will be only for viewing snaps and that is rather depressing -

There absolutely is the ability to take and make phone calls via the watch, as long as your iPhone is somewhere within range.

So who had the first gen iPhone? My wife and I purchased two on eBay the weekend it came out and drove to downtown Chicago to get them! It was EPIC!!

Applecare+ is a little different that Applecare because it covers accidental damage. This is why it was only available at time of purchase originally (or with inspection by a Genius within 30(?) days). I believe that timeline has been extended to 60 days now.
