@Gary_H While I do agree in part with what you’ve saying you need to make a upfront cost as this is a a down payment to secure the watch that you’ve ordered without doing this someone who is willing to make that down payment will get the watch before you, you are securing your watch that down payment.
trying to get set dates when you will get your individual watches that is down to Samsung to produce these not just for EE but for every network that is receiving these watches Samsung are producing them and sending them out they cannot guarantee how many are sending to each network as demand for these is basically outstripping how quick they can produce them.
EE can not give you any information as your watch could turn up on the next batch that turns up, EE doesn’t know how many they are receiving in each batch from Samsung.
Say If EE are going to receive 10 watches to send out and they told the next 10 customers that their watch is going to be sent out the following day but only nine comes in would you be happy if you was number 10 and didn’t receive it yet got told you was going to receive it. EE can not predict what they are going to receive to send out and there can only tell you on the Day that they are sending them out but you’re going to receive it.
Plus there are a few model types and EE don’t know what they’re going to get until they get them and when they get them that’s when they get allocated to the next customer on the model type list.
hopefully not to long
