Did you pre-order the Apple Watch Series 2 from Best Buy? We have some potentially bad news—it might be late.
And not a few days late; it's possibly delayed by nearly two weeks. As MacRumors reports, Best Buy is sending emails to customers who pre-ordered the watch informing them that the wearable won't arrive on Sept. 16 as originally planned.
"Unfortunately, we've learned from Apple there's been a shipping delay for this item," the email says. "The new street date for this product is 9/28/2016."
Best Buy had the device listed with a Sept. 16 delivery date when it started taking pre-orders, so this news is sure to tick off some buyers.
On a more positive note, the big box retailer is offering affected customers a $50 promotional code towards their next purchase to hopefully win back your love. The promo code must be used by Oct. 14, so if you were eyeing an extra band for your watch, now is a good time to go for it.
"We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused," Best Buy wrote.
As MacRumors notes, the issue isn't just impacting one model: affected customers ordered a bunch of different versions of the Apple Watch Series 2, including "stainless steel Apple Watch with White Sport Band and various Sport configurations."
Unveiled alongside the iPhone 7 on Sept. 7, the Apple Watch Series 2 starts at $369 and features a built-in GPS, so you can leave your phone at home while you're on a run. The "swimproof" device is water-resistant up to 50 meters and boasts a second-gen S2 dual-core processor that's up to 50 percent faster than its predecessor, plus a display that's two times brighter than before.
