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

Looks like they have 4 more in stock according to the website. I was in the area yesterday and didn't think to check....too far away now.Yeah that's the one i ordered from for in-store pickup
Yeah, i live in manhattan, so it's over an hour to get there on the subway for me. Would never have thought to check this target if not for the post. But i'll have some time tomorrow night to pick it up. Apparently they hold it for 4 days.
Literally there are absolutely no watches in this area! I've looked as far south as Lexington/Louisville and all the way up north to Columbus/Indy...absolutely no luck
This is what I did and picked up a Space Black 42mm Series 2 at the best buy near me. They had two in stock and were the only store in LA that had them.
Which store did you go to Im from LA i keep refreshing that page on best buy every 5 mins lol
I got it from the West Hollywood store. They said they got 4 in stock Saturday night and had two left when I went in this morning.
Yeah, they are definitely scarce right now. I was checking 8am and noon. Luckily I found one around noon yesterday.
They had the SG 42MM Sport & SB SS 42MM w/ Milanese Loop. They sold out quickly. So, even when they come available.. they sell out fast.
I swapped my 38MM SB SS Milanese yesterday for a 42MM of the same configuration.
I'm really not feeling the SS watch this time around. The watch is noticeably heavier and it feels more like the sensor area is digging into my wrist. I think I want the Sport, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I am going to just give up and order a sport here soon and return the 42MM SB SS Milanese. Pretty watch, just not for me.

Search "Apple Watch Series 2" in the search bar. Choose the tab for "Pick Up Today" from the search results.
Mine shows 4 of them, but they are all actually Series 1.
Well, the Series 2 is somewhat bigger due to the battery... I assume they have to do that with the added GPS on board. I was really looking to get that 42MM SB SS Milanese... but that price! I don't know. I settled on the SG Sport, I believe those are going to be the most popular out of the Series 2 options.
I believe you are correct. I was willing to give it a try, but my girl wrists cannot take the heaviness plus the bulk of the new sensor, so that Sport is looking veryyyy attractive. Plus? Costs less.
How did you see Best Buy pickup availability? Even setting the weho store as the default all the watch 2 product pages list store pickup as unavailable.
Very interesting to see someone else notice this. I used the original watch since 4/24/15, and now the Series 2 since Friday (both SS). I love the original, size/weight didn't bother me at all. But the Series 2 I found noticeable right away. And when wearing sport & nylon bands, the specific hole that gave a perfectly snug (but not too tight) fit now feels too tight, and actually causes a bit of pain the way the sensor area is being pulled down onto my wrist/forearm. I find myself adjust it like crazy. When I go to the next hole to make it a bit looser, it feels too loose. I think what's happened is that with it getting thicker, the band connects to the watch at the same spot relative to the screen/top, making the additional thickness pushed below compared to the original watch.
