Exactly. I noticed this right after order. I bought a black sport band separately for workouts but ordered the 42 SS with link at 3:03 am EDT and mine is showing 4-6 weeks/May 13-27. Anyone with this configuration shipping? Anyone? Bueller?
On the bright side, I cancelled my macbook retina order from that same morning due to 3-4 week wait and ordered on best buy last Wednesday night. Got the macbook on Friday and typing on it now. It's the bomb.com!!!
I hate to be the voice of reason in a panacea of optimism, but if we get it a week earlier than projected that's optimistic right?
Apparently there is people who got there confirmation emails 15 minutes after ordereds started who have statuses preparing for shipment

Link? Proof?
I'm right there with you. Ordered a 42 SS Link at 3:01a Eastern and trying to be patient.
I'm actually in a unique position being in both. My wife's is 4/24-5/8 and I was just charged for that one. Mine is the 42 mm space gray sport at 5/13-5/27. No action on that yet though. Still processing
Same my wifes SS with White sport band was charged and moved to preparing for shipment this afternoon. My SS link is still processing.
First I told myself I wasn't going to buy an Apple Watch, but I woke up at 4am EST and figured why not. I placed an order for the SS w/ black sport band.
Then I told myself I'd cancel the order after a few reviews came out if they weren't positive, but I happened to stop by the Apple Store and enjoyed the UI and the functionality much more than I thought I would. Reviews be damned.
Finally, I told myself that I wasn't going to worry about when my watch shipped because I didn't really need it anyways. Cut to me refreshing this forum like a crazy person counting down the days.
I don't know how I feel about this turn of events, but I intend on enjoying the countdown Got the 4-6 week shipping date. No movement yet.

Realistically...
Thursday at the earliest. Next week is more likely.
This whole two-week range, plus the large range of SKUs makes it hard to track wave 2 based on past performance.
My order confirmation came in at 3:01AM (EST). I bought the Space Black SS link. I have to be one of the first ordered (app + apple pay + adrenaline = speed lol) but still in the 4-6 weeks. Hopefully they move us down because it seems odd that they didn't have a single one ready.
I'm hoping sometime next week. At least that seems reasonable to me. I really do think that we will get them sooner than the 5/13 date (no real proof just a thought) late next week prep for shipment would mean a shipping status early the week after which would be 5/4 or 5/5. At least that would be nice.
I mean if most first wavers get theirs on Friday, no way can you tell me that we won't see anything ship out for three weeks
