I ordered mine a week ago. Was given June 5 as the opening of the window but I am hoping to receive it before the holiday next weekend. I have a feeling it will ship next Friday and deliver on Tuesday as I think ups takes Memorial Day off
Got a tip for us?

I ordered May 5th.. so sounds like I might have a chance for next week.

It finally arrived! **sigh**# I have graduated to "the reasons I love my watch" thread...LOL#
I got charged yesterday and received it today!!!! Unbelievable! I got home at the same time that UPS was dropping it off!
I love it! I can't wait until I get my green band! It'll look A-mazing! Worth the wait!!!
I get to spend ALL weekend playing with it! I put a screen protector on it and will be putting on body protection as soon as I receive it.

Finally got mine on Friday. The 38mm is a tad smaller than I expected (its still fine, but I never got to see one in person prior to delivery). Originally ordered midday Apr 10, moved up from just June to May 21-Jun 4, received yesterday.
Been putting it through the paces but I like it. It is a watch first and foremost (I have a Pebble Steel also) but the app option is fun. Toyed with streaming music directly from the watch to my amp which worked fine but is definitely a drain on battery life.

After having my 38mm Space Grey shipped on May 14th, my watch went out for delivery yesterday morning. My packages usually arrive around 4/5 PM, so by 6 PM I was definitely concerned. I emailed UPS and I found out that my watch was not put on the truck (but they still marked it as if it had) and they would try to locate in their warehouse. If located they would deliver it today (Saturday). After giving them my phone number, I received a call about a half hour later saying that they have located the package and it will come tomorrow (which is now today, Saturday). Before that call, UPS moved my package from Out for Delivery to Exception. About a half hour later, UPS scanned my package in my local UPS and changed the status to In Transit and it would come on Monday. Seriously hoping that UPS keeps by the word about the Saturday delivery so I can play with it this weekend (I would like to re-confirm that it is coming today, but they are closed on Saturdays).
My timeline:
April 13th: Ordered Apple Watch with June delivery
April 27th: Delivery date changed to 3 weeks and it would arrive May 21st - June 4th
May 14th: 1. Charged.
2. Preparing for Shipment.
3. Shipped!
May 15th: Expected delivery, but never got on truck.

Nothing here on my end yet... We are probably going to be in the same batch of shipments! Soon!!!
I really hope so! I graduate from college next week, and my girlfriend who I haven't seen in five months is coming to visit. Add an apple watch to that, and there is pure happiness.
If you love it so much, why would you put all that junk of it? (screen protector and case)... just use it and take care of it. Don't junk it up.
I do love it, hence the "junk"!
As my husband would say: "No glove=No love"! #
Some of us are more active than others! I bought it to wear it! But not obsess over it! Active, hence, sport model!
I'll be wearing mine in peace through any activity! So there you go, I'm wearing it, while TAKING CARE of it and playing (with peace of mind)...hiking, off-roading, riding my motorcycle, playing with my kids, and so on! And no need to worry or check my watch, or worse, take it off!
p.s. When the next gen comes out and if I decide to upgrade... Easy sell! Why...MINT condition!
I got my watch on Friday and I've been playing with it everyday. Battery is pretty terrible and I honestly don't know how this thing will make it through an entire day. It also get's extremely hot during charging. Also, the watch apps load pretty slow and I just find it easier to pull out my phone most of the time.
Different mind sets. Certainly not trying to be negative. These convos actually interest me. I am very active, as well. Trail Marathon with 5,000 feet of elevation change, two weeks ago. 50K Trail race today. I use my iPhone.. never with a case. My Apple Watch won't have one either. I think things should be used the way they are. They are beautifully made with metal and glass - why cover with all sorts of plastic. I could almost see covering it to cover scratches (haha).. but not if you never had one. Of course my iPhone shows some wear, as will my watch. But I still prefer it that way. To each their own. Enjoy it, though!
Update!
It arrived on Friday 15:00 HKT May 15th! Super excited!!!
Model: 38mm Space Gray Sport
Ordered: 05/01 11:58PM HKT (UTC +8)
Location: Hong Kong, China
Original Shipping Estimate: June
Updated Shipping Estimate: May 30 June 12
Preparing for Shipment/Charged: May 14
I was going to change my mind and order the 42mm instead of 38mm after trying on demo units at Apple Store, aannnd the status changed to PFS next day morning
Quite painful to wait for it to get shipped...
(Final Decision: 38mm is actually perfect for my super small wrist 150cm)
It arrived on Friday 15:00 HKT May 15th! Super excited!!!

An order from May being filled. Getting closer. I will probably get a screen protector. I always get one for the phone. Once it wears down I just take it off or one of the kids will. If I had gotten the s/s one I wouldn't worry about it.
I believe it was filled in Hong Kong. I am not sure if they may be getting orders filled faster over there. I have already gotten the screen protectors for my watch. I am accident prone and I do not want to scratch the screen lol. I am hoping that these orders get shipped faster!
