European Apple Watch Series 3 Pre-Order Thread

[troubleonline]

Bingo
[doublepost=1506072686][/doublepost]So I had a bit of a nightmare at the Apple Store. My reservations had messed up and gone through as a standard in-store pickup rather than via the specific reservation system.

They figured it out though, luckily, and I'm home with my iPhones and Milanese Watch! The red crown is more muted in real life, it's quite nice.

Does that mean you had paid for it in full in advance?

Finally!!

nice! im still waiting on the guy

 

[stu.h]

Lets see inside then!! I have to wait until late afternoon so need some teasing

I won’t be back home till after 5pm (my partner took delivery for me)
[doublepost=1506076235][/doublepost]I suspect the squarer boxes (like mine) are for the aluminium models and the longer boxes for the SS?
Was the other way round for S0...

Yes, but so did many other people from what I can tell, I’m not sure what went wrong.

Delivered! (West Midlands, UK). Hope everyone has theirs safely too!

It's usually the square for SS/Edition and long for sports as the SS/Edition have the plastic case inside

I thought if you paid in full it was a pick up not a reservation.

My driver is on delivery 55 and I am 100 - so over half way! He seems to be making good progress so maybe he is keen to get an early Friday finish

That's it

I got mine. I nearly bought the foldable charging plug for £25 but thought I'd wait and see if it was included in either the new phone or the watch. Quite surprised and happy its included with the watch. Also glad I didn't buy it or I'd have 2!

Yes but I wasn’t on the list you see. They had no record of my pickup. It was on a different system.

I see - now there is a post on the iPhone thread that someone had a similar issue collecting their iP8. They had to get refunded as ended up double charged.

Me too! 1hr 10/20 mins til my delivery window starts. Though I have 2 windows. Apple text this am stated 14.47 to 16.47 whilst UKMail webtracker (from their SMS link) says between 15.02 and 16.02.

Only 22 stops left before me!!

[MaximTV]

I'm still waiting on the DHL Express guy. Hopefully, he's coming soon (3:45 PM).

How come my box is square then if I’ve ordered the aluminium?
The model number is what I’ve ordered on the shipping label.
Can’t open it for a few hours at least as it’s at home and I’m at work.
Could it be because I ordered one of the new sports bands?

No idea, but all the SS unboxings I’ve seen for the S3 are square boxes as per previous models. The spot have all been in long boxes too... Very strange to be honest

Just found one on eBay, boxed, and it’s the exact one I had delivered, and is indeed in the square type box.
Seashell sport loop, so won’t be 2 different sizes in box.
Didn’t think I’d be so lucky! Haha

Received mine around 1pm, i absolutely love it so far!

Mine arrived 30 mins ago.....

Weird, perhaps they're mixing them up this year?
