Since the site wasn't up at 12:01am I tried the App and I was able to get in and complete my order at 12:03am for the 42mm Apple Watch in Stainless Steel with the Link Bracelet. My shipping timeframe is May 13th - May 27th!
Was there anyone that ordered the 42mm Apple Watch in Stainless Steel with the Link Bracelet that is getting in on launch day?

reading this makes me feel hella lucky.
At 10pm Pacific I decided to order the watch. I was working until around 11:55pm then I went downstairs, grabbed a beer and sat on my couch on my iphone.
At 12:00am the apple store app still showed that it's down. I got into the store at around 12:03am. Ordered, and they asked for my credit card security numbers. Crap. Went upstairs for my wallet, put the numbers in and wala... April 24th delivery.

Pretty much the exact same story for me, but at 12:05am.
It seems that no one that got the link bracelet had a chance at getting a launch day estimate. Here's to hoping that they were just playing it safe with that date range!
I ordered a Space Grey 42mm Sport at 3:04 AM.
They must be short on Space Grey for me to be pushed into this bracket ordering so early.

Yep mine too, at least I'm getting one and that's all that matters. Ordered mine at 3:10AM

Justin, you might want to remove your name, phone number, and order number from that screenshot.
i was more like emphasizing the fact that you said "INCH" lol
It's been a long day lol! Can't believe I've done that, embarrassing!
why do the apr 24th folks feel the need to come in here and rub it in to us that they got an early date?
i don't go to the june thread and brag to them that i'm getting mine before them...
poor sportsmanship.....

i wanted to tease him about that, too... but wasn't sure i'd get yelled at and accused of correcting his error!
i did wonder about how he'd wear a 42" watch on his wrist though!! lol!!!!
DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! delete that attachment..... don't post your order number!
I over slept and didn't get to order my phone at launch. since the wait times are so long, I've decided to wait till they have things in stock. And you never know by then, they may let you start choosing different bands other than the one that comes with the watch.
I'm part of the instant gratification era and something about giving Apple 4 to $500 of money and waiting two months just doesn't sit well with me. lol

I ordered the 42mm Space Black Watch at 12:01am with an email confirmation at 12:02am saying 4-6 weeks (May 13-May 27). I used the Apple Store App and Apple Pay. I haven't seen anyone who ordered a link bracelet get a launch day shipping window. Hope this changes soon!
With proof? Some guys here (other topic) saying it changes but never post proof, so looks like bs to me.
For some reason there's a small glint of hope inside me saying we could get delivery on the 24th. But then I must face reality, and really observe that my delivery is weeks away. Sigh.
The only possible hope is if when orders start getting processed for real next week, the stock levels are sufficient.
I don't think Apple is really changing dates now for things that are non-administrative (too many orders for a household, credit card issues, package forwarders, etc.)
What happened with the 6+ was about 3-4 days after Group A got their shipping notifications, Group B started shaking loose.
The real wild card is this is the first time Apple has launched a product that the initial pre-order group had a date range. Which means either supplies are really that low, or Apple is really hedging their bets based on initial yields.
