To me that number seems way too low, I expect Apple shifted that many in opening weekend pre-orders alone.
Opening weekend numbers might have been close to 2.7 million since they sold out in 5 minutes and some of the weekend sales probably still haven't been delivered.
It may be very close number. So far, I haven't seen any Apple Watch worn by any iPhone owner that I know and in the wild. Of thousands of FB friends, I saw one person posting her Apple watch when she received it, White Sport.
I would say most people will wait for the second generation. I can predict that sale of next version of Apple watch will skyrock.

I've seen a few in the wild, not counting everyone at WWDC who had one or on Apple employees' wrists.
So Tom Ford has turned Apple Watch into a pocket watch.
I had thought about using the watch without straps, just as a thing in my pocket; but without wearing it, not only do you lose the benefits of fitness tracking, but you also lose wrist authentication for ?Pay and notifications. Seems pointless. Then again, Tom Ford doesn't need to get his money's worth out of anything. It's a glowing endorsement from a fashion luminary though ...
I did not know the NSA was also known as slice intelligence. They are now reading everyone's emails and providing market intelligence on what people are buying.
Really I want to know how this company is reading people's emails. It must be all those gmail accounts.

Or anyone who has sent an email TO one of those Gmail accounts: the terms of service drags them into Google's clutches as well last I'd read (I think they were being sued over that).

Slice is an app that people install which scans their emails (using whatever email service) and tracks receipts and packages, so you can more easily see what online orders you've placed and where/when stuff will be arriving. In exchange, Slice mines that information to see who is buying what. Not something I'd ever want, but people seem to. I'm guessing many of them have not actually read the Terms of Service and may be unaware of how their information is being used.
That 2.79 million number sounds pretty accurate to me. I live in a college town (read: tech savvy), go out to eat lunch every day, and I have only laid eyes on about 4-5 Apple Watch Sports and 1 Apple Watch.
When I pay with my Apple Watch, I always get "Wow I didn't know you could do that with your watch too!" -- at places I've never been to. Heck, I go to Best Buy to look at something in person and I get at least a handful of "nice watch" or "an Apple watch?! cool." (oddly enough it comes mostly from Moto360 and Samsung Gear S wearing sales associates and managers, the rest are waiting awhile to buy a smart watch but never saw an Apple Watch in person before)
If Apple cracked 7-10 million, I would see more around me and get less surprised reactions from people. I'd also not be the "first" to pay at Subway yesterday with my watch, 2 months after they started shipping.
I'm pretty sure that it will crack 7-8M by Jan 1 2016 in the US, with 13-16M sold world wide.
Whilst I have no doubt that many iPhone users enjoy McDonalds, marketing studies have shown that IPhone users earn more and spend more than android users. I would think therefore, that you are more likely to come across an android user in McDonalds.

I've noticed folks who drive Audi's tend to spend more than those buying Subaru's.

Well, learn new things every day, yeah why would I use this since most places who I place orders with send me emails when it ships, and msot all provide tracking information. Why install something that tracks your orders.

Yeah, I had never heard of it till now.
I could see the utility of having an app which automatically collects all those outstanding orders in one place so you don't have to search through several emails to find them, but personally I don't ship enough stuff that it would be of much use. But, I could see a small business owner or someone who does have a lot of things shipped finding this to be handy. Still, I'm not sure I like the trade off (buying habit info for mild convenience).
Well shows that some people in this country will buy any stupid thing. All I need to see now is someone looking at the time on their apple watch, as they listen to music on beats headphones and eat McDonalds. The power of marketing!
i have an AW, dont have beats, dont eat mcdonalds.

Ah, Benjamin Frost! He is a macrumors regular now. And yes, I can confirm he thinks the watch is a flop

Hmm, I guess he missed the dev conference where if it was flop in Cook's eyes, they would not have had so many sessions focused on the watch.

He deliberately ignores anything that doesn't fit his doom narrative.

WHAT?
20k is a drop in the bucket relative to 2 million. So 2 million MINUS 20k people purchased what then? Apple Watch SPORT?
