Did you mean "Apple Watch pre-orders will begin shipping on April 24..."?
Edit: I see you already fixed it.
A Stainless Steel Watch with the Black rubber Sport band
Oh sorry! Ha, dangling modifier. I thought the Black was describing the watch, it's the band.
I love the SS Black look, and was really really annoyed I couldn't get it with the black sport band.
Yaay, the news I was waiting for.
Unfortunately I happen to be a Dutchie, but now that many people are getting their Apple Watch sooner than expected, the second wave of countries might be able to get them as well. At least, I hope I can order mine as soon as possible.

I ordered my second one on 4/13 - SS 42mm white sport band. I believe it has no chance of getting shipped sooner. Maybe from June 30 to June 29? Just shut up and take my money, Tim!

Just got off the chat with an Apple rep and he confirmed it. Nothing for my SG has been charged or changed yet.

I would prefer some message to say that all orders for 24th have been fulfilled and so keep waiting as opposed to the message of 'we are shipping earlier' because it clearly will be the case for some models - but we don't know which ones. So please just say 'we are out of stock' we will start fulfilling again on Monday - or whatever day it will be.
With this type of message from Apple it sets expectations quite high and then annoys people who haven't seen any movement. I don't mind waiting, it is just the 'will I get it? Or won't I?'

That's just great for for the chosen ones, while we the bastard stepchildren haven't even been pre-authenticated to be charged anything and have to suck it up and wait! Let alone be free from our prison of processing-limbo! AppleDOOOOSSSSHbaaagz!
WHERE IS THE LOGIC... same here. How are people who have their shipment date a month from now beginning to ship, while mine is 4-7 days away but still processing? cmonnnnnnnnn
Sneaky? Sure -- if that's how you feel about it.
Regardless, I strongly prefer the "under-promise and over-deliver" thing over the opposite.
Haha it's all good. Ooh that would be such a nice looking combo! I need more of a disposable income..
Stainless Steel Black Sport band.
You've heard of it right? The Apple Watch? You know Apple is making a watch, right?
Although, something tells me the 42mm Space Gray Sport was the most popular, so I STILL may have to wait.
Boo.
Boo.
But what will people have to complain about if they get their order earlier than expected?
"Oh.. I don't get paid till next Friday... so my CC is not ready. Apple ends up cancelling my order because initially the watch is supposed to come in June" - I can think of something like this. People can always complain about something.
