Faulty component blamed for slow shipment of Apple Watch
It was reported earlier that the Apple Watch won't be available in stores until June and some pre-orders were pushed back as well due to insufficient stock. Now, we might finally have the reason for this delay other than the overwhelming number of pre-orders that the company received for the device.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, one of the manufacturers developing the "Taptic Engine" which provides feedback to the user's touch, delivered defective units which led Apple to switch suppliers and carry on with just one supplier for the initial batch. The shipments might take a month to get back on track as the mass production of the "Taptic Engine" will take some time.

I know a few friends have bought these and had no issues! Need to get this fixed though, i know demand is huge.

The only reason why people buy it is to show off their money. It's like asking why anyone would buy a gold watch.

They will really have to push to get these components out as fast as they can, the demand for these are massive!
NotePosted:
Reptrain I will probably never get a Apple Watch.
Even though they look so awesome.
They look like crap.
They're beyond useless at that size.

Unless they can come up with a way to make the apple watch's screen crack resistant otherwise I sure as hell am not going to buy it.
