Fitting a headset is nothing like fitting an armband. If you are going to buy it you will need to try it and get it customized at point of sale

They plan to let you image your face with your iPhone to customize the fit online. They mentioned this in the keynote.

You are confusing the face scan for FaceTime calls with the one they'll do at the store for optimal fitting

I was a first-adopter. There were 'fitting' appointments required to purchase the first version.

I purchased my Apple Watch through one of these 'fitting' appointments.

I had the original Apple Watch on pre-order from the online store and did not need to visit a physical location for fitting first.

Allow me to repeat myself: I had the original Apple Watch on pre-order from the online store and did not need to visit a physical location for fitting first.

I am not misremembering. I even still have the order invoice and delivery notification from the courier in my email archive.

See operative "or" in the quoted "customers have the option of pre-ordering the Apple Watch of their choice or making an appointment for an in-store fitting".

This is false. I ordered mine online the moment they first became available. No appointment needed.
