User Agony As Apple Watch Series 4 Delayed Until Late October

By Stephen Pate – Apple slipped deadlines almost immediately on the Apple Watch Series 4 on release date to late October. All we can do is sit back and wait.

Initially scheduled for release September 21, 2018, deliveries of the hot new Apple Watch Series 4 are a month late – October 21th to 29th.

How To Tame Wild Heart Rate On The Apple Watch

Apple isn’t keeping up with promises made.  On the Apple Store site, deliveries went to October 21st within hours on September 14th.  The remain at 4-5 weeks depending on the model.

Best Buy

I ordered mine from Best Buy who promised to ship September 21st.

As usual, Best Buy’s Canadian website is wildly inaccurate.

They show the watch as Out Of Stock and a phone call assured me the Watch 4 will ship in 4 weeks.

Best Buy USA is promising delivery next week in some locations.

Best Buy Desperately Needs A Better Computer

Are people disappointed? Sure.  I can wait the 4-6 weeks. I already have a Series 3 Watch, which I use to track my heart rate and workouts.

I’ll guarantee most of the new features like Falls and Start/End Workout Reminder , and Running Auto Pause won’t work out of the box. Why? Because the features that are Watch OS5 dependent don’t work on Series 3 for who people who tick “Wheelchair.”
