Chime in if you are in the 3rd shipping batch 4-6wks. I order the Silver 42mm Sport with White Band at 3:40am EST. I over slept, I was up at 2:40am and decided to close my eyes for just 5mins... :( Oh well it's better than having to wait till June.

42mm
SS w/ Link
ordered 12:03am
ship date is same as thread title.

have a feeling it will be 4 weeks or less for me.
 
Same here. 42" Space Man Grey, 12.04 order. Here's hoping that they'll lube these dates so they'll slip and slide. Worst thing is I haven't slept since the order and, seeing as I haven't got my iWatch yet, I don't know why time it is.
 
42mm Space Gray at 12:04AM PST, same shipping dates as well.

I'm almost convinced they didn't have space grays ready for 4/24.
 
2@ 42MM Stainless Steel black sport band.
12:09
May 13th-May 27th

Hopefully as someone else said in another thread that the time will adjust to an earlier date, sometime in the future. Either way I'm stoked to be getting 2, one for my wife and I. She hides her excitement really well, she says she's happy for me, really!!! you know you're getting one too you know. I'm bouncing off the walls myself. I think she is excited in her weird way...
 
I ordered a SS with black sport band at 15:36 UK time and it's delivery 12-26 May.

Thought it would be June by now!
 
I'm in this club. Apple Store app did not come up until 12:04am. Then the app asked for my shipping information, even though I entered those yesterday. This probably caused my order to be in this batch.

Ordered the Sport 42mm Space Gray.
 
42mm Apple Sport Gray/Black band ordered at 1:16 AM MDT (15 minutes after the Apple Store went live), It took me that long to get through and even then it is a May 13-27 delivery date. Guess I was lucky it wasn't a June or even July date. Sport watches sold out the fastest, I guess OR Apple limited the initial production. Seeing that others got through w/i minutes and still had the same ship date is somewhat reassuring.
 
42mm SS w/ Milanese loop here. Slept past my alarm and ordered when I woke up, but I was too late. Sigh. At least it won't be June or July...
 
Dude I did the exact same thing. Only at 2:52. Got in at 3:40 as well, same estimate....hopefully I'm in the second wave but who knows. And I could have used Apple Pay with the new iPad but totally forgot as I've only used it for notifications thus far. Instead I'm trying to turn on the light to get a CVV code off a card..
 
Yep, same here

Chime in if you are in the 3rd shipping batch 4-6wks. I order the Silver 42mm Sport with White Band at 3:40am EST. I over slept, I was up at 2:40am and decided to close my eyes for just 5mins... :( Oh well it's better than having to wait till June.

I ordered the Space Gray Sport 42mm at 11am CDT US and received a June ship date on the confirmation receipt. :(

I do think the dates will improve. As stated elsewhere in this thread, the watch as so many varieties that it's basically a mass customization production model.
 
Stainless Steel Link band Apple Watch

I ordered on the Apple Store app the minute it was up (the web page was still down) and I got shipping date of May 13th to May 27th.

Ordered Black 42mm Sport at 12:07 (US) when store went live.
 
42mm SS space black & 38mm SS modern ordered at 12:03

REALLY hoping our shipping dates get bumped up
 
42mm Space Gray at 12:04AM PST, same shipping dates as well.

I'm almost convinced they didn't have space grays ready for 4/24.

I think it is simpler than that.....it's the cheapest "Men's" watch via its black bands and 42mm body size. It was bound to sell out first because mostly Men are the only ones insane enough to stay up late for ordering.

Price and volume tend to track for most things. Had apple put better electronics in the steel or gold watch, things would/could have been different but since they are all the same on the inside it was price.
 
Got this date also, 42mm sg black sport. Talked to Apple on phone and they said that my order was in the"first wave" with all the earlier shipping dates, so don't give up hope. Email was time stamped 3:05am eastern us.

lol same thing happened to me but at 1:00 fell asleep woke up at 3:40 and placed my order 4-6 weeks may-13-27 heres hoping i get it earlier
 
Mine had the 4/24-5/8 window in the app when checking out but when I looked at the confirmation email it said 4-6 weeks I was pissed hoping I'm super close with the launch window and I end up getting it at launch....
 
Had the watch saved in my favorites and use the Apple Store app, it took a whole 10 seconds to complete the order including paying with Apple Pay. Ordered at 3:04 am est. As soon as the store became live. 42mm SS, Blue leather loop. 4-6 weeks (May 13-27) :eek:
 
Me too.

This version of the 6+ Thread back in September was fun. Looking forward to being nerdy with y'all.
