Honestly I don't know. An educated guess from shopping for myself is that they won't be able to be purchased until the warehouse team gets them, then and only then will be available online or in store (online orders would have pickup store). You won't be able to pre order per say, but you'll be able to hold one for yourself. Now this also depends on timing, because if a store gets their truck the morning it's more than likely that there will be a customer waiting and won't able to order online because will already have cleared stock before online system updates

Edit: missed a part of the question, generally they will not be pre allocated for store pickup due to high demand. Also to do that you would have to be able to properly order online however Bby.com still only does in-store only. They do have displays tho
[Moto 360] superchilpil:
If that happened to me I would give them a piece of my mind, I probably would be kicked out. That's complete bull**** man.
[Moto 360] gera815:
I live in Oxnard California is there a way you can check for me if they have any coming in today Tuesday September 9. Also do you recommend me going there as soon as the store opens?
[Moto 360] superflybribri:
She asked if they would hold it and they said no. But then they said that they could complete the order over the phone for the one that they had in stock. So she gave credit card info and we continued the drive and picked it up 4 hours after we ordered it over the phone. They had it waiting there right at the front desk.
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
I am starting to believe that to. But it seems to be in situations that they have one left (unless that is really a gitch on BBY's web site).
[Moto 360] knoxploration:
They'll only have one left until the BB employee pays after their shift, or had their friends come in and "buy" it for them during the day. Then they show as zero left in stock, but the watch never goes to a real customer.
[Moto 360] dwd3885:
yep. saw this at a bb mobile in St. Louis. While the guy didn't buy one for himself, when I asked if they had any in stock he said, "even if we did have them in stock we wouldn't because i'm buying the first one we get." What a freaking douche. I emailed best buy CEO on him for the comment.
[Moto 360] asdtech153:
I don't have work today, otherwise I totally would. Do you want to PM the store number thats closest to you?
[Moto 360] thesparky007:
Cant get it anywhere near me... none of the best buys had any since the release, sold out on motorola website and google play... this has to be one of the worst releases of any tech product
[Moto 360] GTvert90:
It's frustrating but remember it's available at select best buys. They launch offically on the 14th so they say
[Moto 360] gera815:
yes please my zip code is 93030
[Moto 360] ajbattaglia83:
My best buy had a display setup up with demo units today but no inventory (outside of Pittsburgh)
[Moto 360] dwd3885:
the website says in stock for my local store, but i called and they don't have any he said. and now the in stock listing is gone
[Moto 360] asdtech153:
Its a race against time lol, essentially if it says in stock online just order it, that'll give you the best chance. The moment the purchase goes through someone at the store grabs it and puts it aside for the online order and it gets removed from our inventory. However, obviously if they're only gonna have 2 or 3 right now, it'll be gone and the store won't show any in stock just because they'll already be purchased through the online system.
[Moto 360] dwd3885:
well i called and he said they didn't have any. also, when i click add to cart, i get an error. i've been getting this the past few days. there is no way for me to order online at best buy, anywhere.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
AFAIK, the only order function has not worked since right after the initial launch
[Moto 360] asdtech153:
Not gonna lie, our system is really funny. It'll work sometimes and it wont work others. Best thing like i mentioned in an earlier post is to figure out when the truck comes in, and wait online for it. The moment the store receives inventory you will have a small window to order yours
[Moto 360] dwd3885:
yea i have a page monitor setup too. as soon as it's up, i try to order, but no dice.
[Moto 360] GaresTaylan:
How are people actually getting stock to show for these? Ive seen posts where people are saying "i saw 3 in stock at XYZ store in XYZ city" - so I key the zip code for that city in on their site and every zip code I search for says the same thing - it doesn't give me a list of stores - the site simply says the item isn't available in my area. When the watch first went live it was showing every store as most products on their site does and it simply said "pick up in 3-5 days" or whatever.
[Moto 360] jerflash:
Goodbye pebble Hello moto
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
I thought they disabled the ability to order online to pick it up in store for the moto 360?
[Moto 360] dwd3885:
they did. doesn't work.
[Moto 360] asdtech153:
You're not technically reserving it, you're purchasing it to pick up in store. I'm not sure how that's really all that different, but it does change things
[Moto 360] dwd3885:
yea but it still doesn't work.
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
Either way, its a crapshoot if your not in close proximity (10-15 minutes) to the store that has the watch in stock.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
what about when you go in store and "pre-order" it?

Like last night i went in and had to purchase a $25 gift card to pre-order the device.

[Moto 360] KWoods41:
Looks like you're posting in the wrong thread...
[Moto 360] jerflash:
I'm just showing it off... Sorry troll without a 360 lol
[Moto 360] KWoods41:
I think you're confused about what the word "troll" means. If you're posting in a thread about people desperate to find a product, showing off that you were able to find that product, unlike everyone else in the thread, that makes you the troll.
[Moto 360] cjones1348:
BURN!
[Moto 360] RMXO:
Just got mine today from BB online. I placed my order the day of release. So far it's on the charger. Can't wait to play with it once it's fully charged. I plan to return the Pebble band I got on Amazon since it's a ***** to open and get a band from a local watch repair shop if they have good ones.
[Moto 360] Cr4z33:
So bad we have to wait 1 more month in Europe.

I would give $50.00 extra to someone in the US willing to go to BB and to ship it to me! :(

[Moto 360] skiman10:
i could

I'd do that if I could even get one!
[Moto 360] GTvert90:
All of my best buys around me now show up avaliable for pickup in 3-5 days on their website
[Moto 360] Sigtyr:
Same here. (Los Angeles Area) Wonder what that means exactly in terms of finding one/ordering one there since I still can't add to cart while it's like that.
[Moto 360] kpjimmy:
Same here!
[Moto 360] cjones1348:
I'm sure most in the States would pay $50 extra to just get one now.
[Moto 360] logan00:
BB has been the worst to deal with

I've called probably about 15 stores since the watch launched, and all but one has told me that it was an error in the system and they never really got any. This made me really hesitant to drive to one during my lunch hour just to be told they were out. Now all stores have that 3-5 days time period but none will let you order it. I really hope they partner with a more reliable retailer next time, maybe Target or Amazon?
[Moto 360] GTvert90:
I'm as inpatient as the rest but lets give them a break. They did day it would be available starting the 14th at BB from the beginning. Those that have gotten early are just lucky
[Moto 360] tsy87:
I don't really place the blame on BB... Motorola could have done a better job of having units ready, but it seems the norm now to have these kinds of supply issues on any kind of launch.
[Moto 360] Ddot196:
Yea all of my Best Buy stores are showing an estimated pick up date of 3-5 days. Actually clicking any of them does nothing though. I'm willing to bet that 3-5 days is for the actual hard release on the 14th where you can go in and just pick one up. At least I hope so.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
In my experience this usually means they have information that shows their store has an allocation on the way... This means it could show up litterally any day. I just wonder how many they will get. All the best buy's I have spoken to recently have stated they have only been recieving a couple units each delivery.
[Moto 360] House M.D.:
Just got mine yesterday, unfortunately it has one dead pixel.
[Moto 360] gera815:
I checked my local best buy store online and 5 minutes after they opened it showed me they had some in stock to pick up today. I rushed over to the store and once I got there I asked if they had Moto 360s in Stock and they said just 1 the other one sold within the last 5 minutes. I was so happy finally I found one. Now the test run begins. Here in Oxnard California happy to say I'm one happy person.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
what color did you get?

I really want the gray/silver but the store only had a black one yesterday.
[Moto 360] gera815:
I got a black one which is the one I wanted. Where are you from?
[Moto 360] tsy87:
Sacramento, ca.
[Moto 360] llcooljayce:
Does anyone know if BB will hold a 360?

I would assume no but I am willing to drive from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to a BB in Kalispell, MT (5.5 hour drive) to pick one up but I would be supremely pissed if I showed up and there were none available.
[Moto 360] KWoods41:
Yikes.

I'm in the same city, but I'm thinking I'm just going to wait until the 14th and order one to be sent to the border (Sweet Grass, MT - less than 3 hour drive) and head down and pick it up.

You sure you want to make that big of a drive instead of waiting a few more days?
[Moto 360] llcooljayce:
I heard that BB was supposed to have a general release of the watch on the 14th ... is that confirmed? And do you know if they will ship or be available in store only like it is now?
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
Based on calling and asking several stores: probably not. They say its first come first serve.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
looks like a lot of the retailers in my area have the black one now... but i want the silver!!! blahhh
[Moto 360] yahoowizard:
Best Buy? Where are you that has retailers with the device in stock?
[Moto 360] tsy87:
sacramento, ca....

The stock is dwindling though.. just an hour ago there were 7-10 stores that showed available. Now it is down to 3, and 2 of those arent even nearby.
[Moto 360] AndrewAmazed:
Can I ask how you're checking the count?
[Moto 360] yahoowizard:
I think he's talking about the number of stores that have it in stock. Not the actual amount of phones available.
[Moto 360] MustangChris04:
I checked that zip and only one store is left. When adding to cart an error appears.

[Moto 360] tsy87:
the "add to cart" has not been working since immediately after launch. But yes, that was the last store.
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
Only way to order the watch is to go to a best buy store, and preorder it at the best buy mobile section. I was also able to use a movers coupon to bring the watch down to $225. [emoji2]
[Moto 360] GTvert90:
Where do you get this coupon?
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
You should be able to get a movers packet from your local post office (has a online/in store code for best buy). You can also get it online if your in the process of moving (which I was).
[Moto 360] GTvert90:
Moved 2 years ago.. I'll check it out tho. Lol
[Moto 360] Mr Ian B:
You can get them at any post office.

[Moto 360] danosaur4187:
I ordered from Best Buy on launch day for store pickup. The original email says today's date. I got an email over the weekend saying it had been shipped to the store. I was kind of hoping to get an email saying it's ready right when the store opened, but I guess that was a pipe dream. I really hope I can grab it after work tonight.
[Moto 360] whiskeyxrey:
In Des Moines, IA. All of the local Best Buys have been saying for a couple days that there's a shipment coming, but they have no idea when. Went in first thing this morning, and they still didn't have any in stock, but for the first time, they were deliverable. So the rep ordered me one, and said it would be at my house in 5-7 days, so I should have it by the 18th. He also said that it was very unlikely that they'd have any in store before I receive mine in the mail, and in fact it would probably be around a month before the shipment to the store arrived.
[Moto 360] Cr4z33:
Yes it is.

You check the BB website for availability at the store nearest to you.

So what? :confused:

I'm in Houston as well and have a brand new one for sale if you are interested :)
[Moto 360] GaresTaylan:
Looks like their website is not showing store stock again. When I search it just comes up blank.
[Moto 360] PaulG1488:
Yes, looks like they have it available to order online but no in store information.
[Moto 360] GaresTaylan:
Doesnt come up as available to purchase online here. Still says in store only. No option to buy.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
still the black one only... i want the silver!
[Moto 360] aafevo:
Looks like best buy is allowing online orders now! Option to add to cart, and select shipping etc, no in-store pick up.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
nvm, looks like both are available for order!
[Moto 360] diablonyc2:
That didn't last long -- D'Oh
[Moto 360] aafevo:
Wow you're right, can't add them to cart anymore. With Express shipping they were said to be delivered on Monday 9/15
[Moto 360] tsy87:
lol, no, no it didnt. Glad I snagged a gray one finally!!

I had a grey one in my cart with express shipping --- but got hung up looking for my $5 rewards certificate! lol Damn you free promotional money!!!!!!!!! lol

Finally able to get mine ordered as well. Says estimated arrival Monday with express shipping, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it showed up tomorrow.
[Moto 360] danosaur4187:
On launch day I ordered from Best Buy for in store pickup. They gave today as a estimated pickup date. I just got an email saying it's been delayed and is expected to arrive in the next 1-2 weeks. The order status has said it has been shipped from the warehouse since Friday. Not happy.
[Moto 360] DaPhang:
Best Buy Ship to Store - Ordered on Launch Day

Same exact thing for me, however, I went to UPS, put in the order number (only the part after the "-") for reference tracking and it shows that it was delivered in my city at 10am cst this morning...what's up with that?
[Moto 360] bloodiedwraith:
I got the same e-mail, but it's showing mine will be available at the store on 9/15 - if my store gets them on 9/14 like Best Buy's launch said, I'm just going to go pick one up and cancel the one that's being shipped to store. That's the last time I do ship to store, it's taking forever.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
lol... I know that struggle...
[Moto 360] GaresTaylan:
GDI - I was in a meeting and missed the window of opportunity. Now best buy shows sold out online.
[Moto 360] danosaur4187:
I just did this. It says it's in New Jersey right now. I'm in CT so it's not too bad. Hopefully I can pick up by Monday. Thanks for sharing that! I would have never known to try that.

I'm also in CT! Where abouts are you?

The lady said I have to move to get the bundle. So instead she gave me the coupon out of it and said most people just throw them away. Lol.

Good call
[Moto 360] randymxj:
So I just come back from the bestbuy store in watertown (MA) which shows moto360 available on their website in this afternoon.

They have plenty of the watch (probably 10 for each color) just arrived in their logistics box.

I believe that bestbuy is starting to delivery large amount of units to the store recently.
[Moto 360] bigdave79:
So I went I to my local best buy store as the website said there was one available there (this just came up in the last hour so I assumed they got a shipment). The guy at the desk said oh yeah it looks like we have one but he couldn't find it. Then he asks his manager who says "oh yeah that's the floor model that's showing up". I asked how long the floor model has been there - 3 days. So how come it only just showed up in your inventory today? I'm calling shenanigans.
[Moto 360] dadsterflip:
Mine has one right now.. I waited for an hour for them to put their stock up lolol they have one left .
[Moto 360] webrob:
Where at?
[Moto 360] dadsterflip:
Hot springs arkansas lol. But it won't show online. I called. Just give them the sku number. Silver one is left.
[Moto 360] GTvert90:
Pre ordered the 6th got an email 730 last night that it was ready to pick up. Got the watch and pebbel band out the door for 260ish with the coupon
[Moto 360] bloodiedwraith:
So now when I do a check availability on the Moto 360 on the website instead of saying unavailable it now says "in store only" for my store - I'm going to assume that means they have it in stock now? If that's the case I'll pick it up in store and cancel my ship to store order.
[Moto 360] bigwest:
Ordered mine 2pm on Spet. 4th on the Motorola website..I literally kept refreshing until something came up (not the smartest but it worked). Received tracking information last night and it's arriving today:D
[Moto 360] bloodiedwraith:
Which section is the watch going to be in? I'm going to assume it's going to be in the Best Buy Mobile section... where everyone is going to be this morning -_-
[Moto 360] diablonyc2:
By me it was in the headphone section.
[Moto 360] dennishhh:
Just got one at Best Buy

Best Buy in Danvers Massachusetts has 10 left! I just walked in and asked them do you have a Moto 360 the answer at the mobile phone section was no not yet so I went over to customer service and had them check and guess what they had 11. Just plug it in and am starting to set it up and charge it. I got the silver with the gray band and it looks fantastic. I have 45 days to try it out and see if it does what I want to but as of right now it's a very nice looking watch.
[Moto 360] mejdam:
Glad other stores have them, after reading all these posts about people unable to find them yet i've walked into 2 bestbuys and they had them in stock. I already have the gray and black one so i have no need to buy another. hoping the straps come sooner.
[Moto 360] fatouraee:
Really. I have been looking everywhere in MA.

[Moto 360] bustinstugots24:
Live in NY and saw in the middle of the night the best buy store in Union Square got a shipment in. The store is open 24 hours went at 4 am. They had about 15 of them got a black version and silver version Cause I can't decide. I believe they still have some available as of 11 am this morning. Still haven't opened it yet cause I came straight from work. I couldn't pass the chance up especially since the silver seems very difficult to get. Also picked up a pebble steel band in black to see how it looks in person. From the watches on display I definitely though the silver looked more classy and elegant. Seemed nicer including that suede grey band. I was a bit disappointed by how the resolution of the screen was though. You can actually see pixels in it even looking from afar.
[Moto 360] mejdam:
Southern California, Inland Empire. I purchased one day one on bestbuy.com. Went to the Bestbuy in Corona,ca on saturday and picked up a gray one. One monday i got called that my online purchased had arrive, when i went there they told me i had two on hold so i bought both and ended up selling it to a coworker at a gain of 34 cents. I've just been having the best luck with these watches. I also work a block away form a BB so if i wanted to i can go grab one as soon as they arrive.

yeah... im hoping the next gen has much higher res and an AMOLED screen.

Updating

Just updating, I preordered my Moto @ BBY (I work there) 2 days ago and we just got 2 in, thankfully I was the 2nd pre-order..

You can pre-order them with the mobile department and they require a 25$ deposit. Its not a bad idea considering how in demand they still are. Will post my thoughts on the actual watch in a few days after testing
[Moto 360] GaresTaylan:
Best Buy at the Dayton mall in Dayton OH has about 5 of the black ones.
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
Funny, when I tried to do what you did, they were confused/never done that. I was only able to have it shipped to my residence.
[Moto 360] tsy87:
There is only 1 best buy in my area that would do the pre-orders. All of the other best buy's stated explicitly that it is impossible. The inconsistency is annoying but at least the girl at the one that allows pre-orders was friendly!
[Moto 360] tonyz3:
I was told that the Bridgewater NJ Bestbuy has one in stock. No where near me but FYI.
[Moto 360] bloodiedwraith:
What a hassle getting one - the Best Buy Middletown NY store showed as having some in stock but they weren't able to find it which leads me to believe they were holding it for an employee or another customer. However the customer service supervisor was awesome and called the Monroe store to make sure they had it, and I did an OMS order while I was at the Middletown location and picked it up in Monroe. Now I just got home and am setting it up :D
[Moto 360] winter.k:
I was able to pick up a couple of these at my local Best Buy in Braintree, MA.

The first three clueless employees I asked said: "Sorry, sold out & back-ordered".

The fourth guy I asked offered to check the inventory system in order to get more information on when they might have some. Upon looking in the computer, he said: oh, we have some here. Turns out they had a bunch, maybe a dozen of each color. They were sitting in the cabinet right there in the mobile department. Retail service is a joke sometimes.

I had no luck calling around to BB stores to find out the availability, but once stopped in and found someone competent, it seems like stores do have them.
[Moto 360] mitsueks:
I walked into the Best Buy in Northwest OKC today and they had 8 of them just sitting on the shelf. No one there had a clue.

Got mine today at the Danbury ct store and threw on a band I had for my original pebble that i never used
[Moto 360] winter.k:
I wan't positive the 22mm pebble stainless bands would fit. Looks good, thanks for sharing.
[Moto 360] Steve-x:
Looks great - well done!

The Best Buy nearest to me has not received a single Moto 360 yet. The ones that have are a much further drive, and I have to cross the border. So no 360 for me for now.
[Moto 360] HankB:
<sigh>

I stopped at the Best Buy in Gurnee Mills (Illinois) and asked if they had the Moto 360. "Let me check." "No someone is buying them right now. We only got two." I tried to suggest he might be happier with one but he didn't agree. :rolleyes:

They were the black ones. I'm not sure if that's what I want. I like the look of the lighter colored band.
[Moto 360] Qbancelli:
I just got mine at the 62 and Broadway store;
[Moto 360] adorkablejuliep:
When I called the Garland, TX location they had 1 of each, 10 minutes later when I got there, someone had bought both - there should be 1 per person limit! My son was not happy I dragged him from his cartoons lol. You think all the stores will get big shipments tomorrow in prep for the hard release Sunday? I imagine they'd want to open Sunday with stock ready so Saturday night they should get a bunch, no?
