Apple Inc began taking orders for its new smartwatch in the US on Friday, but supply constraints mean that some consumers won’t get their hands on the product for nearly two months.

The Apple Watch Series 7, which was unveiled in mid-September, became available for preorders at 8am New York time, with the product slated to reach US stores on Oct 15. Within minutes, it was difficult to get the watch delivered by that date. Customers ordering the stainless-steel models and other versions were told it wouldn’t arrive until November.
