Just bought one for pickup at the Pasadena store today! Still showing more available at the moment. It's 42mm SG with black sport band.
Got a tip for us?

(Watch S2) When might 'pick up in-store' become an option? On sale day?

Same frustration here. I pre-ordered the SS black and now regret that. I want to exchange for a plain SS version before my 14 days return window is up but it's not looking good.

Funny, I was thinking of doing the same thing

The SS black was available day 1 in the soho store but stayed far away from it, none of the bands match with it unless you only use black bands
I'll just keep patiently waiting
I think I'll order a 42MM SS. I cannot do this Sport after wearing the SS for 18 months.
I'll probably regret this because someone near me will use it and hurt my chances, but here's the script I'm using in the Mac Terminal to check Watch availability every 60 seconds:
Just change the model and ZIP code as appropriate.
Code:
MODEL=MNPJ2LL/A
ZIP=10012
while [ 1 ]; do curl "http://www.apple.com/shop/retail/pickup-message?parts.0=$MODEL&location=$ZIP" --silent 2>&1 | egrep -q '"pickupDisplay":"available"' && say "A white watch is available"; sleep 60; doneJust change the model and ZIP code as appropriate.
istocknow.com now has Apple Watch Tracking.
For example, I saw a 38mm SB Stainless Steel Series 2 with Milanese Loop available in Temecula, CA. When I looked at the Apple.com site, it shows it available tomorrow. (I unfortunately am not looking for that particular model).
Good Luck

Ahhh... I was not looking on the live map.

Not much 42MM stock, period. Which is weird because so much more 42MM is sold than 38MM, you'd think they'd be planning for that and just not make much 38MM stock at all.
You're welcome. My script just snagged me the white aluminum 42 mm series 2 I was looking for, even though the availability isn't yet showing on istocknow.com. Picking it up tonight.
Thanks for this! I am a total newbie...so I basically open the terminal window on my Mac, paste this in and update my zipcode...and voila?

Yep, paste in all three lines.
In addition to changing the ZIP code, you'd need to change the model number if you're not looking for a 42mm series 2 Silver Aluminum Pearl white band one, which the model I was looking for. For example, if you want the 42mm series 2 Silver Aluminum Pearl Woven Nylon one, that's model MNPK2LL/A instead of MNPJ2LL/A, so your script would look like:
Code:
MODEL=MNPK2LL/A
ZIP=12345
while [ 1 ]; do curl "http://www.apple.com/shop/retail/pickup-message?parts.0=$MODEL&location=$ZIP" --silent 2>&1 | egrep -q '"pickupDisplay":"available"' && say "A silver watch with a pearl band is available"; sleep 60; doneThis random page I found has model numbers.
Here's a demo that it works
@tigertech thank you so much, so helpful!! I'll be looking for the 38mm silver sport with white sport band (MNNW2LL/A)
I was able to pick up a silver aluminum with the white sport band today at the Apple Store here in Phoenix. I randomly checked st 1215 and 3 stores in the area had stock.
Yesterday I went by the Apple Store and they said they weren't going to be getting any for a while until apple caught up with their online orders. Guess that wasn't true.
I just checked using the Apple webpage on my iPhone. Not on the app.
Good luck everyone.

I've been forgetful about checking at midnight every day, but I feel like there's been no stock for S2 SS watches in NYC at all

You haven't missed out, there has been no SS models but I've seen the aluminum models pop up

So I changed to my zip code, and changed to the model I want. It told me that a watch was available, but when I go to Apple.com, or the store app, none show as available. Did I do something wrong with the script?
A couple 42MM SG SS just showed up in the vacinity. I am at Rockaway, NJ now waiting to pickup.I've been forgetful about checking at midnight every day, but I feel like there's been no stock for S2 SS watches in NYC at all
