Exactly as above - one SS 42 with Link Bracelet - May 13-27 ordered at 12:04 am Pacific.

I think the answer is remarkably simple really. This was the starting inventory position and says that the stainless watches were always going to first delivered in quantity on May 13. :confused:

Not all stainless steel. But a lot of them.

My wife's 38mm modern buckle had 4-6 weeks as soon as it opened. But the 42mm and 38mm Milanese were good. I picked the 38 first, and got 4/24 delivery but I actually liked the 42mm better and now I'm in the May 13th-27th camp.
 
I had to wait to get into the Apple Store online in order to enter gift cards for my 42mm Space Grey and wasn't able to gain access and complete until 3:14am. 13-27 May shipping.

However, I did have my app get access to the store before the browser site came back at around 3:03am or 3:04am (not exactly sure) but at that point the 42mm Space Grey was already showing me a 4-6week shipping time while this 42mm white sport in my favs as well was at a April 24th date. I have seen others around the inter webs say that they got into the April 24th window for 42mm Space Grey. Lucky peeps.
 
What's so stupid - and I know it is - is that I went through this exact thing while waiting for the 6+ (I was in the 2nd wave I believe after not realizing the app store was up before the website). Now I couldn't tell you when exactly I got it, and a few days here or there wouldn't matter at this point.

But after seeing the watch in person I can barely contain myself.

I remember that feeling too when getting my Retina Macbook back in 2012. There wasn't any sort of delay but I remember obsessing over the delivery date after ordering. That being said, I can't remember when I did get it but I'm still using it to this day (right now in fact!).

Point being, you won't remember 2 years from now the agonizing wait for this Apple Watch, but you will always remember having the Apple Watch.

As long as something is wonderful, you forget the time before it and instead remember the time with it.
 
My first time posting, I wanted to share/question something I noticed. I'm in the same boat ordered 3:04am SS black sport band with a 4-6week estimate. I just noticed a charge for apple care on CC as of yesterday, has anyone else who purchased apple care get charged this weekend...
 
Yeah, I got my confirmation email at 3:05 ET and i though i was on the site fast... Shipping Space Gray 42 MM Sport May 13-27. Hopefully ill get it before that though. Based on what I've been reading, Apple is hoping to ship orders 2-3 weeks ahead of their latest scheduled delivery time(Except launch day obviously). As always, us Apple Fanboys can't wait!
 
My order for the 42 SS link went through at 3:02am Est. thanks to apple pay. Still 5/13. My second order for 38 pink sports went through at 3:06am est for the same date.
 
I have obsessed over this forum as much as anyone and have not seen a space gray with first wave shipping.

Anyone else?

my brother ordered the space gray sport and got the 4/24-5/8 window. I ordered the same thing (email confirmation at 2:04amCDT) and have the 5/13-5/27 window. He literally ordered the exact same time as me. I need to see his time stamp on his confirmation email, because I doubt more than 30 seconds separated our ordering times.

----------

The sport? I ordered at 3:04 ET and am in the first wave.

I'm jealous... my confirmation email is timed 2:04:51 am CDT and I'm 2nd wave. I wonder what that cutoff was... 2:04:30? dang... :confused:

And today they charged the charging cable.

I had a pending charge when I bought the watch but I think it disappeared.
 
Wave 1 people are starting to get charged for the actual watch. SO, maybe we will have something happen soon too.
 
Anyone in this wave get charged yet? I should probably stop getting my hopes up on a early delivery.

nope :/

but, my brother is in the first group and he hasn't been charged yet either. but I don't expect this group to be charged until next week at the earliest. But I hope I'm wrong!
