it should not be so complicated to get them to take our money
It’s stressful isn’t it? And it shouldn’t be. This is an absolute joke, John Lewis have stock, just allow orders dammit. I assume they WANT disorderly queues outside their stores and then are quick to complain when it gets out of hand.
Apple are the same, really? No In store pick up at all? At any store? In the entire country? Have they completely sold out, of course not, but want to put the customers through the stress of queuing unnecessarily.
This used to be fun back in the day when I was younger, had more energy and Apple used to buy us free pizza, but now I hate it. Absolutely hate it,
JL stores won't do anything until tomorrow for items in stock in stores. ordering for collection is centrally handled - JL Stores won't know about it until a parcel arrives from the warehouse for you to pick up (at any JL or waitrose)
I think it was mentioned that roaming doesn't work on the LTE Apple Watch, so this may indicate they are different. Not 100% sure tho
I don’t care if they say pre order on saturday! It’s the messing about of customers I cannot standI wonder what their update will be..........
Preorder available from Friday?
...those of you who have pre-ordered, have any of you decided on any kind of screen protection for your new watches?
I had a Spigen crystal clear on my S0 42mm Apple Watch - its still on there now and has done a great job of protecting the screen.

Called my local, they weren’t even sure if they would have stock tomorrow

Screen protection is a complete waste of time for a watch
Absolutely not necessary. Even on my aluminium, I have not had any issues.
Even when I'm banging and clanging.
If it helps any, my series 0 alu (so only toughened glass) has never had a screen protector and is virtually blemish free after 3+ years.
Same! Had a S0 for three years now. Never had any protection on it and it only has a few very minor scuffs around the face. Hoping to hold on to this S4 for a long time too!
I ordered late on Friday, date was give 24th to 1st October. Money was taken yesterday. Date has changed to delivery tomorrow. Result!
I would rather have my testicles beaten wafer-thin than destroy the stunning beauty of an Apple Watch by pointlessly covering its literally rock-hard, scratch-proof sapphire screen with some ugly, clumsy piece of tat.
It would be like making your underwear-modelling girlfriend wear a bag over her head so that her face isn’t scarred forever should a bug fly into it.
I won't be so florid as profmatt, but I will agree that a screen protector is entirely pointless. My S0 SS is prefect as far as I can tell, even after all these years.
I've dented the steel itself through dropping onto the very edge of a toughened glass table - though I kinda like it now time has softened the edges of the damage. The screen is practically indestructible.

In other news, if I see this page one more time I’m going to test the shatterability of my iPhone with a claw hammer.
They are definitely different. If you look here you will see there are two sets of ‘internals’ for each watch size with LTE. The US model 44 is A1976 whilst the UK 44 is A2007. They support different radio bands.
