    My 42mm SS BSB delivered Monday. Also got an extra charger and a classic buckle (black only).

    Watch is fantastic, well worth the wait!

    Ordered 18th April at 10am.

    I got despatch email just now (sat morning). It says 15-18 of June but that's 9-12 days from now.

    Will it really take that long? Or should I expect in Tuesday or Wednesday?

    Can't remember the timeframes for my iPhone.

    Update for those that get a despatch email. I got the despatch email when o woke leaving now Saturday morning and it's scheduled for UPC delivery by end of day Monday.
    It's going to Belfast parcel motel so if they get it Monday I'm hoping Tuesday night to my local motel and it's my birthday wednesday!!!! Good timing.

    What I find strange about this thread is that is just showing updates of people's orders. Despatch dates and Parcel Motel deliveries.

    Very little comments form people who have the devices. So what about user experience, usefullness, batteries, apps etc.

    It's very different as to how iPad/iPhone threads have gone and makes me think that users are not overly impressed.

    It's a completely different type of product as its ultimate utility is enabling you to do things you've always done but in a different way. As such there's not a huge amount to report back with. The decider for me was testing if I would miss it if I were without it for a day. I did.

    I posted my initial thoughts earlier in the thread: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=95306055

    Many users and reviewers have said it takes time to evaluate its usefulness. I was just listening to Gruber and Mark Gurman on The Talk Show and they both remarked that it’s not until you forget about it that you start to get a sense of its functional benefits. It’s not really a toy for adults that you can play with like a smartphone or a tablet.

    Have let mine go. Might try V2 but just too limited at the moment.

    I don't know how, but there needs to be some better way to reply to messages, and Whatsapps and Vibers are non-runners. The lack of GPS also kills it for me. It consistently underestimates my runs by around 10%.

    At the end of the day I found myself using it simply for finding out when I got a message. Some of them I could reply OK to, that's about it.

    Native apps and GPS would make me consider it again but at the moment, I prefer my Omega by a distance.

    watchOS2 looks brilliant!

    Native apps, time-lapse watch faces, better Siri and 3rd party complications.

    Why would you need to change your iTunes account to the UK?

    The watch is definitely a big drain on phone battery. Despite using the phone less its now dead by 6pm while it used to be 15-20% by bedtime!! I guess its because Bluetooth always has to be on. I had it in my head it would save battery as the screen isnt on as much :(

    Are you using the watch a lot? That could account for some of the battery drain. I've always kept Bluetooth on for my car so I didn't notice a big hit in battery life when I got the watch.
