The wait is finally over as the Apple Watch is being delivered to early buyers today. With what has been the longest pre-launch in memory, the smartwatch in all its glory has landed. Amidst all the supply constraints, online ordering and appointments to try the coveted ‘personal’ device, fans were woken up today with a message from the Apple Store saying that their Watch was coming home. As buyers started getting their packages, Australia being the first country to kick off shipping, they took no time to flaunt it on social media. Pictures of unboxed Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport flooded the Internet.
Here are a bunch of elated first buyers showing off their Apple Watches on Instagram.

The Apple Watch will be arriving to many others in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK and the US today. However, some have to wait till as long as July due to ‘unprecedented demands’ and supply constraints.
