Regular 42mm stainless with link bracelet, 4-6 weeks 5 minutes after store opened. :confused:
 
I am already a bit annoyed by this launch. It never seemed to be a big problem to get a new Apple product here in Germany.... Until now!

I ordered a 42 mm black Sport the moment the app was back online. 4-6 weeks estimated delivery window. So I also ordered the SS a few minutes later... Hoping that would be faster. Also 4-6 weeks.

I wonder if there is anybody with a release date confirmation here in Germany (Europe?).

Also, is it correct that my two orders are completely separate from each other? I don't really prefere any of the two models I ordered and plan to keep the one that arrives earlier. Or will the faster order wait for the 2nd one?
 
You are the only one that I have seen then. Everyone else with SG 42mm sport model seem to be on the 4 week window. Very odd.

Well, the day before, I put the watch in as a favorite on the app as well as updated my CC info in Apple Pay. Then the morning of the preorder, I literally opened the app continuously until it was live, chose my favorite, paid with Apple pay, and done, It literally took ten seconds. Finished at 3:02am, received my email at 3:03am.
 
I got my confirmation email at 3:04 AM for the 42mm SG sport and I'm in this window.

With what I've seen so far for the sport space grey, 3:04 was the turning point.. 3:05 and later is mid May, 3:03 and earlier is launch day, 3:04 is tricky, some got launch day some got mid May... Lol seconds
 
Ordered mine at 3:03 am EST, still showing may 13-26. 38 black sports.

I just set my alarm and woke up at 3am and ordered via my phone, now i'm worried I entered my cvv2 # incorrectly as it did prompt for that. No errors but what if its wrong, will it just void my order when they go to charge, or did they actually verify this before accepting order?

The order would have not have gone through.

There would have been an error i think.. last time i ordered something from amazon i entered my cvv wrong and it gave me an instant error..

don't worry..:)
 
Bought my Space Grey Sport 42mm at 12:06 PST and received this shipping date.

My White Sport 42mm which was purchased at 12:05 PST is in the 4/24 - 5/8 shipment. Crazy how much a minute changes things.
 
The reason I am in this group is because Apple's Apple Store app STILL does not take their gift cards. Was all loaded and ready to go for the 24th at 12:02 AM, but couldn't purchase because not only do they not let you pay with physical gift cards, but neither gift cards in your passbook. They need to integrate Apple Pay with the rest of your cards in passbook, especially if their Apple Gift cards, in Apple's Passbook, trying to be used in the Apple Store app.

To my disappointment, I had to visit the store on the website, which by the time I got there, was still down. After refreshing many of times, the store appeared, immediately with a ship date of 4-6 weeks. Just sad that the most loyal customers, the ones that put savings into gift cards and request gift cards from friends and family for holidays, are the ones who get the worst service. Apple gift cards should be at least as easy to use as a credit card, if not easier! Sadly, this is far from reality.
 
I have 2 watches on order. Both have said 'processing' from the very beginning. Even the 42mm, shipping in June, says the same.

I am surprised that some are reporting that they had a different result.

Using Apple Gift Cards in the Apple Store or online is a nightmare this is one area Apple has never got straightened out. If you have Apple gift cards buy the item with your credit card then call customer service and have them change your method of payment to Apple Gift Cards
 
mine has always said processing ordered 42mm sport SG @ :04

but hey, now it is only a 3-5 week delivery.

Do you mean it's technically 3-5 weeks or you got an update?

Cuz I just got an email from Apple Store and it said

"Subject "order change confirmation"

We updated your order with the following changes
Shipping information updated"

But nothing really changed...


Edit--- nvm false alarm

no same thing as before, it is just 1 week since i got the 4-6 week email. Sorry
 
Ordered the space grey and got May shipping date after struggling with my cc security code being scratched off..just fantastic. Really should of set up apple pay before hand ugh.

I did order the sport white band which delivers 4/24. Going to wear that for 14 days then return it and by then I should be only waiting a week for the space grey I really want.

Anybody else doing that or am I super crazy to do this?
