I'm in Canada here, hoping it will launch same time at US, I don't want to wait till late May. If Apple does have 5-6 million units ready for launch maybe thats an indication it'll launch in multiple countires.
Got a tip for us?

Yes, it certainly it worrying. But the 5-6m units could be an indication. The thing that bothers me is the 'Coming Early 2015' on the US site as opposed to 'Coming 2015' on other sites.
However, Apple has been a lot better at multiple country releases recently. iPad 2 shipped outside the USA a few weeks after the UK, and there's never been a hardware product that doesn't launch in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada simultaneously since then.
Hopefully, even if there is a gap, it'll be very short, i.e two weeks.
Going to be cropssing my finger really tight on the 9th for the availability outside the US on launch.
Might be more like the 10th, but I hope you're right for that timeframe! It's certainly getting excitng now.
We'll be waiting 7 months to get this thing by the time it's released!
I'm sure China is going to be on that list, if at all possible. The first spread was in Vogue China, remember. China might be the biggest market for the Edition.
Tim: I'm am so excited to tell you that we will start taking preeorders for theWatch from Friday 27 of March and you could have it on your wrist as early as easter weekend
. And we're going start in the US, Canada, UK and Australia.
I thought that would have been obvious! Is there any reason to believe it may only be US first?
The US site is the ONLY one that says Available in Early 2015 while the others say Available in 2015. So kinda hard to tell if US will be the only country to get them at launch.
I am guessing ... US, Paris (France), China ... are the locks. Just basing on the advance or early fashion ads / event hypes.
I would add Italy then UK then Australia plus Germany in that order. Maybe even plus Japan. Italy, just because of the fashion crowd / potential hype aka influence there.
----------
And most importantly, some other (surprising choice of) demographic locations will be based on different time zones.

Yep, time zones-centric release for respecting time, fun, and more hypes.

Are you blind or kidding me, that is why I put France in parenthesis. And just more emphasis in Paris. As it is the center of fashion universe. Though Milan will disagree.
If not for Paris, we would may never be talking about France's inclusion.

Yeah I'm joking, that because I'm french and I'm not leave in Paris ^^
And France is always include in iPhone lunch, so it have good chance to have a simultaneous lunch.
I know. Agreed. France will be included regardless.
Those 3 are my locks. And also Apple thinking of greatest volume of initial sales as possible on potentially Apple Watch biggest markets.
----------
On different time zones. Australia could be the 4th lock or the darkhorse.

My guess is that will be Tim's exact quote (Americanized to fit
).I have been waiting so long for this Watch, my wrist has been ready since Sept!! Common Apple! I need my fix for a new product already!

Today, Apple has announced that Apple Watch will launch on Friday 3rd April in China, France and the UK.
Coming to the US this Fall.
How would you feel if that happened?
Would also be fun to see the US get the 1st early batches with quality issues, then the rest of the world will get later batches of which they will have resolved the flaws
