How are you even checking individual store stock? When i go into a listing for any of the Series 4, there is no option to check store stock

JL in my preferred store are showing 16 or 59 of my option 1 watch (wifi), and 20 or 0 of my option 2 watch (LTE) Seems like JL want to help me be more rational and avoid paying extra for features I won't fully use.


So may be ok for pickup, but they open late which would be a pain to pop out from work. Plus it means I'm not at home in case random DPD guy turns up..

Is there hope that UKMail isn’t cr@p? Just got a text confirming delivery tomorrow. Website says one hour delivery slot will be notified in the morning.

Those of you who are going to an apple store to pick up a pre-order phone, and hoping to snag a watch too, what time is your pickup slot, and are you planning to arrive early to try and blag being seen earlier and increasing your chances of snagging said watch?

My slot for phone is 11:30-12. I plan on arriving about 10-10:30 and chancing my arm of being seen earlier.

If there is no one in front of you they will see you. Otherwise those with a valid appointment will be seen ahead of you.

Had a change of plan, personally. My slot at Manchester Arndale is 9-9:30 but I'm going to drive up to the Trafford Centre to snag one of JL's watches (they have the one I want so fingers crossed!), they open at 8.

My appointment slot is 8 to 8:30 so I intent to be there just before 7.30 to queue on the other side of the entrance door from the overnight campers. I shall grab a coffee and donut from the Apple guys who always supply breakfast and have a friendly chat with the overnighters

Are you guaranteed to get one of the watches from John Lewis?

Just spoke with an argos chat agent, they checked my order number. Although it says order processing they confirmed the order has been dispatched and yodel will be delivering tomorrow. I should receive an email from yodel and argos with tracking

Does anyone know if something stays in the online shopping basket at JL for a set amount of time so no-one else can purchase it?

They said this last year and they never shipped.

no, it doesn't reserve stock.. only on check out... god I had some fun last year trying to secure my S3 SS.. it would show in stock but by the time you went through checkout, someone else would have bagged it
