HeadphoneAddict Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) My Stainless Apple Watch is still scheduled to ship by 4/24-5/8, but I just got an email noting acceleration on my Space Grey sport ship date = Delivers: Apr 29 - May 12 by Standard Shipping EDIT - NEVERMIND The changed date was just for an extra strap I ordered. Edited April 23, 2015 by HeadphoneAddict
TMoney Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Got a tracking number today for delivery tomorrow for my SS with WSB. Woohoo! My excitement is tempered by the fact that that the Space Grey one I'm giving to someone as a gift won't be showing up anytime soon, but oh well.
HeadphoneAddict Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 All I got so far was a spare charging cable today.
Hopstretch Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 All I got so far was a spare charging cable today. Yo dawg, we heard you like charging your watch so we sent you a charger you can watch while you're watching out for a watch to charge with the charger. 3

mikeymad Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 interesting.. when looking at the exploded views before, I really liked some design elements - the tear down looked a little bit like duct tape and bailing wire. As they improve the design in the future, I am sure it will get better - was just a little surprised.
Dusty Chalk Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 Looks like it needs charging. EDIT: Some reporter out there bought one in-store
blessingx Posted April 24, 2015 Author Report Posted April 24, 2015 Can you verify iFixit's tear down? 1
TMoney Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 I'll do you one better. Attempted blending. It does indeed blend. 1

TMoney Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 Hoping my bling watch lands me a date with that red head on the cover!
boomana Posted April 25, 2015 Report Posted April 25, 2015 I was looking at the app store for watch apps. Nothing that interests me is available, but you can get Welsh Word of the Day. WTF? Who decides these are the best for launch?
blessingx Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Posted April 25, 2015 Hoping my bling watch lands me a date with that red head on the cover! You better not take any chances. http://youtu.be/MMF9I_9DAcs And Vicky I have a feeling "best for launch" means operational.
boomana Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 So on a whim this afternoon, I looked to see if I could get an appointment at the Apple Store and got right in. I have to say I'm really glad I got the watch I did. I kinda liked the aluminum better than the space grey I got in the sport, but I was really impressed with most of them. Looks-wise, I was drawn to the stainless steel with the modern buckle, but can't justify the additional $200 plus cost. The band of the sports watch is sooo soft and comfy, it was easy to wear, and I don't wear any jewelry because I can't stand how it feels. I got to play with actual watch for a bit, and I don't know what people are saying in the reviews that the watch is complicated to figure out. I obviously only messed around with a couple things in the 20 or so minutes I was there, but I now can't wait for mine to arrive. The only thing I think that will disappointment me is if the heart rate monitor is wildly inaccurate. 1
Hopstretch Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 It is apparently very accurate. I saw a post on a running forum this morning where a guy took his Apple Watch and Garmin + chest strap out for a 10K. The distance covered showed exactly the same on both devices and the average heart rate only differed by 1 beat per minute. 1
Knuckledragger Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Well, fuck it, then. Guess I'll stick to having a hairy wrist.
Grand Enigma Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 Pretty funny article stating that the screen on the sport version is better because it is less reflective. Apple claimed they couldn't do AR coating because it is prone to scratch. Seems they really should have consulted with watch manufactures some more. The outside surface of the sapphire is not he only place one can use AR coating effectively.

I was planning on doing the same with the Garmin Edge on my bike plus chest strap. Keeping fingers crossed. BTW, i noticed that there was a designation for rowing in the exercise section along with things like indoor cycling and outdoor cycling.
blessingx Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Posted April 28, 2015 The Consumer Reports initial HRM tests were encouraging too. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2015/04/first-test-results-of-apple-watch-and-apple-watch-sport/index.htm
