Customers receiving their Apple Watches today are being offered online personal setup appointments in emails being sent out by Apple. We first reported last month that these at-home personal setup experiences would be offered.
Apple was not initially expected to offer personal setup for the Sport model, but now appears to be offering the experience for all models …
My email arrived in the early hours. Appointments were available beginning this morning, with further slots available up to May 7th.
In the UK, most appointments in the first four days had been snapped-up by mid-morning.
Apple’s email says that personal setup is also available in-store, but with no link to make store appointments, the company is strongly steering people toward the online channel.
For those of us lucky enough to have snagged launch-day delivery, Apple Watches have been steadily arriving throughout the morning in the various time-zones, my own Sport arriving at around 10:30 am UK time.

I’m getting an error when I click the link from my email and select an available time.
Update I got it when I adjusted the time zone via the drop down menu.
Why are some boxes square and some are watch shaped.
I believe it depends on the band you get. They don’t all lie flat. The sport bands do.
Some are Watch / edition and some are sport :)
Oh I seen I sport in both boxes. That’s why I thought it was weird. Malone was stainless steel.
Yes. Thank you. Not that it matters I like that box better. Hehe
