So crazy story:

Was able to order this morning (like 9am) from the mobile site with ship to store 3-5 days. Then at lunch I decide to check the availability on the site just to see if it was updating in real time for inventory. So it said my store now had some in stock. So I think on it for a few minutes and decide to go down and check it out, I might get lucky. I walk around for a few minutes, nothing on the shelves with the other smart watches. So I ask a couple of employees standing around.

Me: " Do you have any Moto 360s?

Emp : "No we didn't get any"

Me : "Well the site says you have some in stock"

Emp : "Nope about 10 people have come by asking and we don't"

Me : "Well thats funny, because the site says you do"

And I walked off. As I am walking out I hear "Sir, Sir" and I never think they are talking to me. So I am out in the parking lot, I slowed down a bit just to make sure, and sure enough the guy was yelling for me. It was a different employee that must have overheard my conversation and maybe had just come up from the back getting them off the truck. They had one Moto 360. Holy crap! So I bought it of course. And then cancelled by ship to store order. This never happens to me. And it was right after 12:00 central time. So maybe it has something to do with Noon or I just hit it at the right time and had a long enough conversation with the other guys and the one guy didn't give up getting my attention.

So it does seem to be updating in real time. Even before I went down I tried to buy it again with store pickup and I kept getting errors adding it to my cart.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
You're right, it gave an error. [emoji16]

I think I'm going to wait until they physically get one, and/or I see the reviews here.
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
Funny, because there have been zip in stock in the wash dc area. Now the stock checker is going to a 404 page...I'm debating getting one from motorola. Even though they are OOS, I still have it in my cart....
[Moto 360] seh6183:
Using the links from this page will direct you to the motorol website where you can sitll order the watches. They are listed as back ordered and shipping Sept 19th. I would at least put an order in here because an hour ago it was shipping sept 10th. So the date is increasing fast.

[Moto 360] MrGorillaNoodles:
Just changed from "Availability: Backordered" to "Availability: Not Available" :(
[Moto 360] seh6183:
Sounds like I got the very last one lol
[Moto 360] Dusty Rhodes:
Really?! That's crazy! Pics of the watch on your arm or it didn't happen!

Yes... I'm bitter that I'm not wearing one right now.
[Moto 360] Character Zero:
Yeah it was like a scene from a TV show or something.

Its sitting out in my car right now, until I get off work. :(
[Moto 360] Dusty Rhodes:
The warmth you feel coming from your monitor is my jealousy.
[Moto 360] brucipher:
Since he cannot show you his...here is mine :)

Ooops, posted it wrong!
[Moto 360] seh6183:
Can you let us all know the instant a scratch appears in the metal? Thank you.
[Moto 360] brucipher:
Sure. I am going to use the phone for a week or so but may return it if the battery is as bad as has been reported.
[Moto 360] pierrekid:
Guess I'm one of the lucky one. Ordered mine around 9am this morning from bestbuy online. Walked into my local best buy around 11:15 and bought another one and then at noon ordered another one off of one of the computers at bestbuy from motorola.com without any problems. Crazy excited :)
[Moto 360] Character Zero:
And thats the thing about the current reviews. Someone from The Verge of WSJ probably gets a lot of notifications because they want to review it under "everyday" use. For me, Twitter is too frequent for notifications. I like just having email and the Google Now stuff. So I think battery life will depend on the notifications you get.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
I need to see this held up to the computer screen while logged in to XDA with your username, or it didn't happen!
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
Great news, the silver moto 360 watch just came back in stock! On bestbuy.com
[Moto 360] RodKahx:
purchased from BB. In store pickup on the 11th here for the gray one.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Where?
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
On their website: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/motorol...ther/8307143.p?id=1219322457598&skuId=8307143

Ship to store only.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
True, my BB is showing in-store pickup in 3-5 days
[Moto 360] DrexelDragon:
I don't know if its worth it to head over to my Best buy after work or not..
[Moto 360] GTiceman:
I can vouch as I just ordered one
[Moto 360] manoosie:
Has anyone seen it available online at their local store and actually bought it from the store yet?
[Moto 360] fullmetal2k:
Just did the same
[Moto 360] RMXO:
I just ordered my via BB online and will be receiving it on 9/9 (14.99 S/H, I'm impatient) and got $40 2 yr warranty. Can't wait to try it out. And just placed an order for this stainless steel band since I'm not going to pay $79 for the one in the fall.

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A310EPC810IKZ7
[Moto 360] tvrvic:
I wanted the black/black, but the silver/gray will do. I did Express shipping since I am impatient like that... Sept 9th can't come soon enough!
[Moto 360] mejdam:
yep i just bought mine too WOOHOOO!!!!
[Moto 360] brucipher:
Best I could do :)
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
I'm fine with a leather band. I have a nickel allergy, and I'm hoping I don't get a reaction from the small amount of metal on the back :(.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
OK, you've won this round!

How's battery life, lol
[Moto 360] brucipher:
Can't say yet. Still sitting on the charger. I'll strap it on around 5pm and see how it goes from there...
[Moto 360] Dusty Rhodes:
Everyone that did a walk-in buy today, what part of the country are you in?

Congrats! You're gonna have a fun weekend playing with your new toy!
[Moto 360] Alix8821:
Somehow I got TWO! 1 thru Moto, and the 2nd thru Best Buy. I cancelled Moto order because:

a) I had $50 Best Buy Gift Card

b) Love using their protection plans to my advantage

c) Faster delivery! BB will have it here 9/9, Moto said 9/19

SO HAPPY

Cant wait to throw on my Shark Mesh SS band on this bad boy...
[Moto 360] krazyflipj:
Anyone had it say it wasn't available online at the local store and end up being in store?
[Moto 360] DrexelDragon:
I'd like to know this as well.
[Moto 360] slaydog:
My BB was showing it available in 3-5 days, so I added it to my cart, but they just removed it from my cart
[Moto 360] jerflash:
Yup sold out again. I already have a black on on the way but though about getting a gray one too. Should have gotten it lol
[Moto 360] RMXO:
That sucks about the allergy and best of luck. Yeah, I was going to just stick with the leather but I always prefer the metal band look.
[Moto 360] play2lose:
-10 minutes ago check Best Buy online, see it's in stock.

-Decided to call my local Best Buy, he says none of the Best Buys in Vegas have any in stock.

-Go to order online, Best Buy shows out of stock :crying:
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
Yep, though it is now saying "In store only" instead of sold out.

Edit: both colors are now saying in store only
[Moto 360] jerflash:
That just a nicer way bestbuy says SOLDOUT LOL
[Moto 360] RMXO:
I would keep on checking BB since I had to check a few times and finally got lucky when they had stock again.
[Moto 360] coldconfession13:
I just walked in best buy and bought it
[Moto 360] djoutlaw32:
Bb.com shows in stock local for the black one. Though once I show up they say they don't have any in stock. So I walk around the store to kill time until it arrives and ask again. They say they just sold the last one 15 minutes ago. Really?
[Moto 360] DrexelDragon:
Where? And did you check online first?
[Moto 360] coldconfession13:
New braunfels Texas. Just walked in. I believe they had two available after I bought it
[Moto 360] Deathsnuggle:
On My way to work right now, guess we'll see. It would be great to give my paycheck back to them today. :rolleyes:
[Moto 360] slaydog:
Mine too, but it also says not available for pick up. It says 3-5 days again, but I get an error when trying to add to cart (again)
[Moto 360] nunyabiziz:
My BB online order was shipped and should be here Monday the 8th. I ordered 8am central time this morning.
[Moto 360] djoutlaw32:
So the store sold out in Henderson NV. Though they allowed me to pre order for only 25 bucks and they would email me as soon as the next "drop shipment" arrives. Kind of seems as if it overrides the other orders through the website.
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
Even though I have one coming on 9/9, I'd love to have one in my hands today. I'm showing a BB not far from me has them in stock for pick up today, but keep getting this error when adding it to cart: "Sorry, there was a problem adding the item to your cart. Please try again." I'm assuming this means that it's been sold, but their inventory system hasn't caught up to the internet site? I'm tempted to drive down there, but it's a harrowing ride at rush hour.
[Moto 360] skappy7:
Anyone else not able to view their order on bestbuy's site? I ordered in that window around 3:50pm EST today when the silver ones showed up again. CC charged and everything, but the order is still pending according to paypal.
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
Mine still shows pending as well on paypal to BB. I think it's just processing time since BB says on their site it will ship 1-3 days after order is placed. Fingers crossed though.
[Moto 360] memekmek:
how were people able to buy it before 8am central? the motorola website didnt start selling it until 11am central time. I was a bit peeved to be logged on exactly at 11am and have to back order it.
[Moto 360] djoutlaw32:
I think if you knew someone that works there they may have been able to preorder it. Guy wouldn't sell it to me because someone had paid for it before me. But the shipment arrived at noon Pacific time. They didn't have any before then. I got there around 12:20 ... Something smells fishy about it though.
[Moto 360] Character Zero:
There were links on AP that put the watch directly in your cart on moto's site. those were working shortly after the 1am announcement. The watch was avaible for a short time then was unavailable until they went live again about 10am. Best Buy had a mobile version of the Watches live around 8am or so. The Black was able to be purchased. Thats how people got their orders in before 11 am.
[Moto 360] Deathsnuggle:
Got mine ordered, should be it within the week
[Moto 360] spinedoc:
Hmm, just got an email from BB that my order has shipped. UPS tracking number isn't active yet though.
[Moto 360] holabola:
Just picked up my Moto 360 from Best Buy. Clerk told me that it was 1 of 2 in the entire Dallas area, as they only had two and all the other stores this area didn't have them. Lucky me! XD
[Moto 360] jerflash:
Got my tracking from best buy. Don't expect it to be active yet. They still need to hit the "end of day" in ups world ship before it becomes active and then picked up.
[Moto 360] GaresTaylan:
Well, damn. I called the 7 closest best buys and none of them are in stock. Had to work today so haven't been able to check before now and can't order anywhere now it seems.
[Moto 360] furiousgtz:
I tried nyc midtown, and Chelsea
[Moto 360] Darkne0:
A few stores here in L.A. showed in stock, but couldn't add to cart for pick up... :thumbdown:
[Moto 360] needoZ:
You are pretty lucky. I went all over Dallas/Fort Worth today to find two and I only ended up finding one. Each Best Buy only received two Moto 360s and they were going fast. I got really tired of hearing... "We just sold out 5 minutes ago!"
[Moto 360] skiman10:
My local store didn't even get any is what the guy on the phone said... I might drive down there to make sure.
[Moto 360] needoZ:
Here are the ones I know.

Hurst - Sold Out

Irving - Sold Out

North Irving - Sold Out

Heritage Parkway - Sold Out

Fort Worth - Sold Out

Ridgemar - Sold Out

Hurst - Sold Out

When I went I had to talk to the Best Buy Mobility Department and mention that they might be in the warehouse. This was this afternoon though the last several I called seemed to know exactly what I was talking about though. It is ridiculous that they only got two per store...
[Moto 360] LorenzoAndrade:
I have a similar problem, I wait for almost an hour to see if the last truck to shipment to the store has one... and for my surprise the person on charge said that they would arrive probably in Wednesday. So I leave the store, a couple of minutes later one friend told me that he search the stock in the BB stores and appear that they had two in the truck that just came in.

So I went back to the store and I ask about the watch, the new answer was "They were sold around one hour", and I said Impossible, I was here during that time and I ask several times about them. So I call the manager and expose my case, all the time waited on there and the problem with the feedback of the person that say that there was no moto360 in the truck, and how they surprisingly they were gone an hour before the truck arrive.

At the end, they give me my watch... some of the employees had reserve the watch for him. Sad for he and lucky for me... That is my Moto 360 story, so please ask the manager about the watch. Who knows?, you may get one as I did.
[Moto 360] dwd3885:
i'm not going to drive around like i've done before. it has never worked out for me. i see one online but when i try to add to cart it says, ' Sorry, there was a problem adding the item to your cart. Please try again. '

Never works.
[Moto 360] Dusty Rhodes:
So am I right in saying it looks like TX and PA were ythe only states that had watches on the shelf?

By the way, could we mention where we're from! Most of you don't have locations in your profiles. I wanna know who got them all!

Seems weird that no one in Chicago got one... The home of the 360.
[Moto 360] waxlabo:
They are available on Google Play Store now except the expected shipping date is by 9/19.
[Moto 360] DustoMan:
I was hitting refresh on the Best Buy smartwatch page around 11:05AM CDT today. It was about then when I saw the number of devices change so I refreshed one more time and sorted by "New Arrivals" and there she was... the Moto360. There were two listings. One black leather band and the other grey. I clicked on the black one and added it to my cart. I was given two delivery options. Either store pickup for the store location in Rochester, MN which is 98 miles away, or regular shipping where I wouldn't get it until next Thursday. So I sat there for a minute or so and searched to see if my local store had it in stock at all. No dice, it said that I could pick it up in 3-5 days at my local store. Sooo.... ROAD TRIP! Three hours round trip and I got my Moto360! I didn't want to wait until next week for it. :D
[Moto 360] Predator04:
Been up all morning trying to get a Moto 360. Came back from lunch and keep refreshing the Bestbuy page. one came in saying it was available and I called and they said they sold it 10 minutes ago. That they got a specials shipment of one and no one knew about it. So I was even more pissed lol and keep refreshing in hopes that more would come in stock. And finally after 10 minutes another one did. I called right away and was on the phone for about 30 minutes since they idnt want to hold it for me as I was at work. after trying to pay for it it never went through so finally they said they would hold it for a hour. I rushed down there in traffic and they saved it for me. I asked how many they got in stock and it was 1. Yes ONE Moto 360. A bunch of crap if you ask me!
[Moto 360] WarlockLord:
I can confirm one each in at least three stores in Connecticut but they were gone before I could get to them
[Moto 360] Phlip00ws6:
At least 6 stores in Dallas/Fort Worth area had them. I was told they only had 2 in stock at most locations, and they sold out pretty much at 11:01. I drove out to the middle of no where and got the last(2nd) one they had. Both were black.

I was told at the south Arlington store that, according to the RSS, a truck was coming tonight with more.
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
Anyone got any info if there are any available in the Lehigh Valley area in Pennsylvania? Allentown, Easton, Bethlehem, hell I'll go to New Jersey if I have to lol finding this thing is hard
[Moto 360] veris:
I actually work at a local BB/Geek Squad in OH.

RSS(Product information system) has been weird all day. Probably from high online traffic volume and fluctuating inventory.

Said we had about 500 in our warehouses this morning and before close it said none and that the items deleted.

It's inaccurate and doesn't always update immediately though. That might explain some of the weird responses when asking if its in stock.

None came in for my store at all though, some stores may be able to OMS one to your house though(was able to do it for the gray not black) , that's what I almost did but I'm going to wait until next truck, but it was almost a 2 week wait :(
[Moto 360] jupo:
After I placed my order with Motorola (no interest credit plan) immediately after it went live (delivery estimate 9/19, sigh), I searched on Best Buy for any local (Tucson, AZ) stock and there was one store in Phoenix that showed it as available. I briefly considered ordering it and scalping it on eBay. Needless to say, it isn't there anymore.

Thought I'd check my old hometown zip code just now, for the fun of it. According to BB's website, there's a black one available for in-store pickup in Muskogee, OK.

Unfortunately, I haven't lived near there for a decade, and only drive through once or twice a year. But hey, anyone within a drive of there who wants a black one ASAP, give it a try.
[Moto 360] freeza:
Can you do that for me? :)
[Moto 360] veris:
What an OMS? Lol no, I'd have to process it with a form of payment to send it. But I can possibly check stock for you at your store
[Moto 360] manoosie:
Can you check the Salinas and marina California stores (near 93908?) TIA.
[Moto 360] brucipher:
Doing a search this morning I found a couple stores in PA that say they have them in stock (Black version).

I really was not all that impressed with mine...was at about 50% battery after 5 hours. Screen didn't always turn on automatically when I looked at it, and the watch face still turned off even with Ambient mode turned on. Already sold mine on craigslist. I will wait a year or so until they get better...

Here are the stores that Best Buy current says in stock when I typed in my zip. Hope it helps someone who really wants it:

[Moto 360] gera815:
Can you check the Oxnard California store or the Thousand Oaks California
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
The Best Buy in Pottstown PA is in stock. I just got back from there and they had three blacks / two silvers left.
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
Really? I called like 10-15 minutes ago to make sure they had stock since it was an hour drive for me n they said they were out of stock. :(
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
By the way the best buy in King of Prussia does not have any in stock they just allow you to order there.
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
I've been calling any store within an hour drive with no luck lol
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
No they do. They weren't sure about it and they found it in the mobile department.
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
Damn I missed out
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
I'm telling...I just got back about 20 mins. I really doubt it sold out by then. How far are you from there?
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
Google maps tells me I'm about an hour from there. I live in Bethlehem. Knowing my luck by the time I get there it would be sold out
[Moto 360] TheEmpyre:
Just picked up the only one in stock at the store in Boise, I was spamming the refresh button on the "pick up in store" on the Best Buy app. Got there before doors opened and they had to to back into the warehouse to get it! So if it says in Stock, it's updated in real time, ask them to check the warehouse

Sweet, sweet victory though this device is gorgeous

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
Would you have gotten thr silver one if it was there? I was torn but decided on the black.
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
With the black metal band, I think it looks better than silver
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
I thought so too. I just thought the silver would look good with a brown band. I like the black seems to be a little more casual.
[Moto 360] TheEmpyre:
It just so happened that I wanted the black face with black band, but I would have purchased whichever one they had there even the silver face. So I lucked out. But I definitely prefer the black face, pretty stealth-ey, hah
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
Mine has about 5 dead pixels...does yours have any?
[Moto 360] holabola:
I've got one on mine. Going to swap it out when next shipment comes.
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
Just got the last one in Pottstown, PA. Bummer they didn't have the black one but the silver is nice as well. I haven't noticed a deal pixel. Is there a certain app or something you gotta install to get a better view for dead pixels?
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
Just raise the brightness and try to get a black screen. I usually notice when it first starts up.
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
Guess I'm lucky. Just did that and see no dead pixels. Also for anyone who lives on the eastern part of PA, I was told the Best Buy in Bethlehem should have a shipment delivered today at either 5 or 6. If it's not delivered today, it will definitely be available tomorrow
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
I'm bummed...I was going to go back to exchange.
[Moto 360] xXJay_RXx:
Yea bro I would be too. Especially with how hard it is to get your hands on these right now only to end up with a defected unit
[Moto 360] cjones1348:
Got lucky yesterday around 330pm et and ordered the silver one when it showed back up at Best Buy online, 3-5 day delivery. But I'm impatient and have been checking online for something to show up in store, last night 1 store showed available around the Atlanta area but it wouldn't allow me to add to cart.

So I called around this morning and they evidently couldn't find the stock (stolen?) I was periodically checking the site and at 1230 a Best Buy 30 miles from me showed stock, I called and the lady said she was looking at 2 of them but they were first come first serve and they were holding them at customer service. My wife was shopping in the area so i sent her there and she got the last one! Its silver (wanted black, but who cares), she hasn't made it back yet so the anxiety is torture. I'm never this lucky when it comes to stuff like this regardless of my due diligence. Seems like the stores are only getting a couple in, pretty sad - kinda reminds me of a black Friday deal. I think I'll sell the other one online when I get it.

Just keep checking, maybe you'll luck out! The same store also said they were supposed to get 3 more in Thursday and would only sell in store, give your local stores the sku's and maybe they can tell you what's inbound.
[Moto 360] jbrothman88:
Cool well you're welcome...enjoy
[Moto 360] etc6849:
I have a dead pixel too. Mine is in the lower left near the edge. What a POS?!?

Thanks though as I would have never noticed.
[Moto 360] theraker007:
Damnit, i ordered the black one and no dice but best buy in my area has the silver one in stock :(

debating whether to just wait or switch to silver lol.
[Moto 360] compuguy1088:
I canceled my order with best buy thinking they would have some in stock. Apparently people in washington dc area grabbed them all (online stock is screwy). :(
[Moto 360] slaydog:
I'll get the silver one if I can to use with a metal band in the future...
