When we gave the official launch date in more countries of the Apple Watch provided by the company itself in a official statement, it was clear that the 42mm Space Black model It was the model that was having the most delays for unknown reasons, although we can think of a higher demand. Now the company confirms these delays again with another statement that is sent directly to users who plan to choose this model in which it warns that will not be available for sale in stores until all previously placed online orders have been sent to their respective owners.
This is part of the statement Apple for the specific model:
Thanks for choose our Apple Watch. We are working hard to get ready and send orders as fast as possible and in the order in what They were received. How to Live Aligned with you may have heard, some models of the watch will be soon available in the apple retail stores. We would like that you know than the model that you asked It wont be available for purchase at apple retail stores until all online orders current are sent.
In this way, Apple recognizes that this specific model is experiencing more delays than other models and that users who are about to have the option to buy it in the second batch should be patient if it is the chosen model. Otherwise we can be satisfied if the production rate continues at this rate and orders are not too late.
