apple watchAccording to our report yesterday, it seems that Apple is working as hard as they can to get Apple Watch orders shipped out as fast as possible. They even managed to up the shipping times for some lucky customers. However it seems that while there are several unboxing videos online as well as reviews, these are just a small fraction of Apple Watch owners.

According to a report from Slice Intelligence (via Cult of Mac), it has been estimated that 78% of Apple Watch orders have yet to begin shipping to customers. Their report seems to suggest that demand for the device is far exceeding that of supply and claims that Apple might have sold as many as 1.7 million devices since it went up for pre-order.

This goes against a different report which claims that pre-orders of the Apple Watch have exceeded that of 2.3 million units. However since these figures aren’t official we suppose you should take them with a grain of salt for now. Oddly enough despite these somewhat optimistic estimates, Apple themselves have yet to officially announce how many devices have been ordered.

In any case we suppose it doesn’t come as a surprise that there are still plenty of orders that have yet to be fulfilled, but like we said, Apple seems to be working on it and has appeared to improve shipping estimates for some in the process, so hopefully it won’t be too long until supply levels begin to normalize.
