    Is there a way to collect from parcel motel's depot? My watch is being delivered on friday to them which means it'll probably be saturday or sunday before it gets down to dublin (then another day to get to my locker).

    PM are usually fairly quick off the mark, I wouldn't be surprised if it landed in your local PM late on the day they receive it.

    hmm they got a delivery for me yesterday and there's been nothing. Not even scanned through at their Belfast depot :(.

    Just ordered my second strap black sports band to go with my green band. Ordered through Parcel Motel delivers 3-9 June and cost approx €55 with conversion rate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,326 ✭✭✭Zapp Brannigan


    Got my black leather loop today. Love it! Although it is going to take a while before I stop "feeling" it on my wrist. I've never worn a watch before so the sensation is slightly odd.

    Waiting on my separate sport band so I can use it for running and the gym.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,453 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    mine is now in the Belfast Depot for Parcel Motel, hope I get a text tonight!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 897 ✭✭✭Fuzzy Logic


    Mine has now moved to preparing for shipment. Hopefully not too long now given I ordered at 8:04 on day of launch :)

    Lots of reports today that Quanta (the company manufacturing the watch) capacity problems have been solved and production is now fully up to speed. Hope so.

    what would that mean for turnaround?

    Delivered to PM in Antrim yesterday at midday. No movement since, had hoped, wished and crossed my fingers I'd have it by now. What about you Creamy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 218 ✭✭jarain


    Same as mine. Got a notification that it was in the Dublin depot about midday today after arriving in Antrim yesterday morning. No clue when it will hit here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭flyguy


    2 Parcels (no apple watch) that were booked into Dublin depot (from UK PM address) yesterday and today just delivered to my PM locker (South Dublin)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,453 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    Notified that it was in Dublin at 11:15. Picked up at 7:30. It's so beautiful.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,204 ✭✭✭Zcott


    Yes it is. What one did you order?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,453 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness

    42mm space grey sport with black band.

    For anyone using a recent Mac with an iPhone/Apple Watch, I'd recommend MacID for proximity locking/unlocking. It's the first App of its type that doesn't appear to spontaneously lock/unlock the PC.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,744 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    Picked up my 42mm Sport watch yesterday, pretty nice and setup was pretty quick, number of apps that interest me are low at present but glad to have a smart watch that works after my kreyos hell!

    For those of you that got updated delivery, which watch / band did you go for? I ordered at 08:03 on the 10th of April. It's said 'June' is the dispatch date since then.

    I'd ordered the 42mm Space Black Stainless Steel Case with Space Black Link Bracelet ...

    Whats the watch like for fitness tracking? I'm considering buying one solely for tracking my fitness and heart rate at the gym now that I'm back in the gym.
