Did you ask them in store? I know online it’s out of stock, but I’ve heard in store stock is different from online stock

I hate you a little bit, not too much, just a little bit.
I saw them in the morning, but couldn't make it just by 30 minutes and they were gone. I also placed an order for a silver SS one to collect tomorrow. I really hope they don't messed it up again. My first order for SG Alu (ordered on 23 sept) now says dispatched, which I'll cancel. I want that SS, even it is not a black one.[doublepost=1538224470][/doublepost]
You can check the store stock in their mobile app.
Ok, so I already have a SIM only plan with EE (£16.99 a month with 10GB Data, Unlimited Calls and Texts) on my iPhone XS.
When I get my S4 Watch do I still need to call them or can I just set up the Watch contract from the Watch itself? Apologies for the noob questions as never done this before!
All from the watch. Don’t have to call them. No worries for the questions dude
I am after a 40mm Space Black & have one on order (with Sport Band), but it is not due for delivery until 23rd/30th October. If I can pick one up at an Apple Store or John Lewis sooner, I will cancel my order with Apple.
Anyway, as I was passing, I called into the Apple Store in Liverpool earlier today & asked the store assistant to check if they had any 40mm Space Black in stock - assumed that the answer would be ‘we have no stock’, as I have been checking reservation availability every day from 6a.m & throughout the day, but have yet to see a 40mm Space Black available to reserve in any store. To my surprise, they did have a 40mm Space Black in stock, but only with the Milanese Loop. I was tempted to snap up the Watch there & then, but I already have a Black Milanese Loop (which, to be honest, I have never really liked after it scratched my Series 0 SS)...additionally, I like the new Black Sport Band, which is lighter than my original Black Sport Band....plus, I would be paying £100 more than I was planning to pay (although I guess I could have sold the Milanese Loop on eBay, especially as the strap is now packaged separate to the watch). So I guess I will just have to keep checking Apple Reservations & John Lewis stock daily (hourly!)....but if anyone is in the North West & is after a 40mm Space Black with Milanese Loop, Liverpool store might be the place to head to

Just checked Apple Regent Street, CompuB Selfridges and John Lewis in central London - they don’t have any S4 in stainless steel!
I feel a bit like I won a Willy Wonka Golden Ticket as I’ve had my Stainless S4 for a week.
Just make sure when you pair the watch to your phone you have wifi turned off.
I didn't so had to reset and start again.
I have had mine for 4 days now and love it. Glad I chose the stainless steel and coming from the series 0 model....wow!
Same here. I can't say how many times I check the app and/or my card hoping against hope that they might ship sooner than the original estimate. Seems odd that they take a fortnight longer to ship.
Still, should be less than a week now... counting down the days...
Is the gold SS as hard to come by as the space black? I’ve lucky in being able to pick mine up on release day in store even after I placed the order after reserving my Xs
Grrrrrr PC World/Currys.
Just happened to check online on Thursday night and they had the SG 44 Sports Loop showing in stock. I can buy gift cards through our work portal at a discount so quickly did that and placed my order for delivery to my local store. Showed it would be delivered by 5pm Saturday night.
That works for me as I am away at the caravan for the weekend so will be ready waiting for me when I get back Sunday.
Only not had any confirmation that it’s arrived yet. They better be ready for my wrath when I get home tomorrow if it’s not there waiting for me in store

When I tried to add the cellular plan while on Wi-fi it kept failing. When I turned off Wi-fi and tried it worked instantly.
The frustrating thing is that it seems so easy to get aluminium models from virtually everywhere and in the last they have been the mainstream model and the biggest seller but SS models are currently virtually non-exsistent accords the globe. I am wondering if Apple will ramp up production for the SS variants to try and meet demand
Not until November it seems https://www.macrumors.com/2018/09/26/apple-watch-series-4-second-supplier-compal/
Looking for a 44 Space Black sports band in London and cannot find one. Checking stock daily and have iStockNow alerts set up! Nothing.
....and the order/delivery dates continue to slip backwards on the app...Fresh orders for SSSB now 30th October to 6th November. They just cant keep up with demand
No need to wait, if it’s there you can get it now (done so myself many times before 2pm)
Just had notification from UPS that package will be delivered tomorrow. Doesn’t show a time though, just says by “end of day”.
