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

[Tolulope Obe]

sleep is for the weak- chug on brother....

I always love the preorder parties. Even though I so badly want to sleep now...for 2 hours

Fingers crossed... Hope Apple servers will hold and be ok.... Because the iPhone 6 launch was such a mess...

Still trying to decide if I'll go with blue or green band....

I think Apple care + is a great deal for the sport.... Not too expensive... And will help u to sell the watch when generation 2 is coming....

iPhone launches are harder since Apple is reliant on carriers through the transaction for discount eligibility. I expect it to go smoothly for that alone.

There's a website set up to begin on the 24th that allows for buyers to trade their bands.
For example, each sport model comes with two of the bands (one in each size). This site allows people to trade their size they don't need for a band in the size they do use and in a different color than the one the originally purchased.
They're charging like $10 -$20 to facilitate these exchanges. It's ingenious.
I signed up, but I'm trying to find the website again.

Can anyone who's actually seen the watch tell me just how shiny the Space Black one is? It's extremely hard to tell from the pictures.

Close to two more hours!! Hopefully getting the sport space gray 38mm!

That's my watch, just wait after I have bought mine

Is Apple allowing users to have their own backgrounds for the watch faces??

I don't think we will be able to change the backgrounds (yet anyway).

Is Apple allowing users to have their own backgrounds for the watch faces??

No, there was a photos watch face at the original announcement. But it unceremoniously disappeared between then and March.

Is Apple allowing users to have their own backgrounds for the watch faces??

maybe not so early as now but eventually- it was actually left out of the watch faces guided tour ( personalized watch faces) kinda like a wallpaper

Fun hanging out with the rest of you nut jobs Spacy grey/black sport vs stainless/black sport? I'm not much for bling, but the stainless looks nice. The question is $200 "nice"? It really is more about function for me. Yet, so tempted. Maybe I'll wait to see if I really fall in love, and pull the trigger on stainless for the 2nd gen. I'll change my mind many times in the next two hours ;-)

Devils were never in it so I am going with the Hawks just as long as the Rangers go out quick

Don't think so.

Is Apple allowing users to have their own backgrounds for the watch faces??

Not @ launch but expect them when 3rd party apps are allowed in the future.

You should wait after I get mine I will tell you how it is... Jk. Good luck

do post a link to the website when you find it- it sure is genius

Made a pot of tea and playing Madden while waiting to order. Gonna go with the 42mm steel and 38mm steel for the wife for her birthday present.

Sooo... if I preorder tonight (this morning) ... and then go in and try on watches in the morning and find something I like even better - is it a hassle to cancel the early AM preorder?

It's not a hassle to cancel. But your reorder will be behind all the other orders being placed tonight.

 

[Tolulope Obe]

be a little optimistic- apple had almost 7 months to manufacture enough watches to go round

I've been wondering about this. I'm guessing that if the situation arises, the one I'll want will already be sold out and I'll be out of luck.

So just finished watching the GS Warriors game, (Curry for MVP!), and in the postgame methinks i caught Shaq wearing a stainless steel Apple Watch. That must be one large band!
