2 hours and 30 minutes for a 100% charge

Does anyone know how fast the battery will charge up?

Hub and I are both getting the 42mm SG sport with black bands.

I have tiny wrists but I only like big watches -- anyone else with small wrists getting the 42?

(Sorry if this has been posted already, haven't gotten through all the posts yet!)

I managed to wake up before my four separate alarms went off. I'm sitting here at my kitchen table struggling to stay awake and confused as to why ABC has a live news broadcast at 2:30am

I managed to wake up before my alarm went off (it was set for 2:50 AM). At least it didn't disturb my wife, who thinks I'm slightly nuts for doing this; she didn't mind when I did it to reserve her last phone though

Of course you're nuts ... We're all nuts!

Can you not use a gift card through the app? I was planning on using a gift card as well and was planning on using the app!

Only 16 minutes..... We can do this.....

15 minutes to go. Time for another energy drink to prepare for the rush.

I have been waking up every 10 minutes since 1:30 worried I was missing launch. So excited!

I think I might be more worried about my school's awful wifi than Appl's servers crashing... I was at the mall tonight and it has an outside Apple Store at it. When I was leaving the mall at 10 there were two trucks outside the Apple Store unloading what looked like the new display tables for the watches, got me so excited! Fun times at the Apple Store for some lucky employees tonight!

T-Minus 15. Just think, next year, we'll be checking the time to pre-order the Apple Watch 2 from our Apple Watches.

Not really. I saw someone else post that they were buying two, one for everyday use and the other to wear for workouts and to sleep. Sounded like a good idea, and one is always charged and ready to go. And if iMore wants to buy me the second watch I'm in!

No gift card using the app tried it earlier today

 

[Michael Gonyea]

I just noticed that the iOS app doesn't allow PayPal as a payment option - but I'm pretty sure I read in Apple Support that PayPal is accepted online.

Sucks that the iOS app doesn't because that was my goto pre-order option. So much for all the "We'll be back." messages I have queued on the arc of iOS devices surrounding me. Now I'll be battling the masses even more so online...

I had trouble finding a place on the app to use a gift card. The Apple website says you can redeem one at the online store, but I can't seem to find anything about the app.

Is the apple watch going to have OTA updates? Is it going to have iOS 8.3 or its own iOS version number like 1.0

They seem like they would be somewhat easy to clean? Being sports band they'll be handling sweat & moisture (and it's water resistant), so it seems like it can handle a rinse if it does get dirty

They are made of a material that should be resistant to any chemicals out there, look it up on wiki.

Good luck ordering everyone!
