Mine was stuck in Anchorage for about a week. And I was thinking to myself, this is 21st century, nobody stops at Anchorage anymore. I will expect the same thing happening anyway though.
my LTE ipad mini got stuck in anchorage for a few days due to customs paperwork when they were finally shipped..... i forget what happened with our 6+'s.... i think they just lost the pallet!
LOL to the 6 Plus comments. I was also in that fun thread.
Anyways I woke up late as well. Beating myself up about it. I look forward to freaking out with the rest of you when it ships earlier

fun? lol! you and i have a different definition of fun!
ok.... seriously... we did have a fun thread! and this one will be too (and anyone not having fun get's put in the corner or kicked out of the clubhouse!)
Ordered around :05 after the Apple Store app came online. 38mm Space Gray. Honesly expect it closer to May 13 if not before.
It did the same thing to me. I was able to get in at 12:02, but it forced me to give shipping info which delayed me. At checkout it was 4/24-5/8, afterwards it was 5/13-5/27. I will say that I talked to someone at apple later this am and they said "we expect to fill many of those orders in the initial shipment, but no guarantees".
I expect I'll get it earlier than 5/13, but I'm not confident that it will be 4/24.
Oh wow!! I ordered that exact same one like 1 minute before you and got the 4/24 - 5/8 window.
Apple Store didn't go live until like 12:03 for me and I ordered immediately.
ahem..... exuse me.... you are in the wrong club house
i understand we are the most fun..... but you don't meet the criteria for membership!
42mm Sport with Blue Band, 5/13-5/27
Not happy about it... Why won't Apple let you use a giftcard in the Apple Store app, eh?

What?! I ordered 42mm SS w/ Milanese last night, and I'm on the line for 3rd delivery batch (5/13-). I'm so jealous now
For those that weren't in the 6 Plus thread:
I ordered my 6+ 2 hours after pre-orders went live. I got a ship date of October 1-6. My iPhone showed up the 25. About 6 days after launch.
I expect our Watches will either show up around the 24th, or shortly thereafter.

38mm space gray sport with black band. I woke up at 3:15 EDT (slept through my silent fitbit alarm at 2:50). Grabbed my phone and ordered via the Apple Store app - zero problems, unlike when I ordered the 6+. My confirmation email came at 3:20 EDT and I don't remember it taking 5 minutes, but whatever, I was half asleep.
May 13 - 27. And I'm fscking tired.

I had the same experience with the 6+ - unlike almost everyone else, Apple seems to be conservative on their estimates and surprises people with happy. That goes for battery life on most of their products too. Here's hoping the same happens with the Apple i
Watchband Fit.
4-6weeks (Deliever May 13 - May 27th) pre-orders
I ordered within 10 minutes a Milanese Loop Stainless Steel version and still got that date!

i got up at 11:50.... had my iphone, ipad mini, iMac and hubby's iMac ready to go....
was able to get into the appstore and ordered 1st watch quickly (after it crashed a couple of times), gave the apr 24 - may ? range on the screen i needed to click to place order.... confirmation email had 4-6 weeks...
ordered 2nd watch (38mm) and got confirmation 1 minute later with 4-6 weeks.
then started trying to get my try on appts.... took FOREVER! ultimately ended up with THREE appts for 10 tomorrow because i kept getting error messages... but then three emails came in confirming my apts! and then same thing happened with my 6p.m. appt for tonight...
i cancelled all but one of each time, but it looks like we'll be heading to the store after work... so i'll cancel tomorrow's once i'm done with my appt tonight so as to open up that slot.
and yes... i'm miffed and throwing a hissy fit that 3 and 4 minutes after preorders opened i'm already bumped!
i do believe, that once others start cancelling their multiple preorder sizes that our dates will move up and possible be sooner than the 12th/13th.....
looking forward to having fun in our own special "club house" while we wait for our watches!

I'll join in and use this as my waiting room.
I was wide awake about 45 min before the store went live, and then conked out hard. Woke up around 3AM PST and placed an order for 2 SS, one white sport band, one Milanese. I was bummed, but not devastated. Looking forward to getting the new toy.

If you added apple+ care it's immediate. Otherwise I think Apple does a $1.00 hit on your CC to make sure it's valid and then charges the full amount when it ships.
42 mm stainless with black sports band ordered at 3:27 Eastern-May 13 to 27th delivery.
Started earlier but had to find wallet to get credit card validation code!

Me thinks some of us that show May 13 might get them a little sooner. I think a ton of people ordered large multiples to sell and I wonder what the largest order was?
Already the over 3 orders to same household same account cancellations have started...
If you think about it, this could open up thousands of space gray models for April 24.
