Leather loop never had 4/24

Just FYI leather loop started with 4-6 weeks and for some reason never had 4/24 availability

https://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/10/apple-watch-now-available-for-preorder/

Hello everyone! Had my 42mm SS Black Leather Loop ordered and email confirmed by 3:02am eastern standard time when the pre orders went live. Two minutes in and I still got this release date.

On another note I ordered the large band but went to try one on today at my local Apple Store and realized I could have easily ordered a medium. My wrist is about 180mm. I thought to get the large for if I wanted to wear the watch loose or something. That being said I would rather deal with the band overlapping a little more than it should then wait till June or even later to get my hands on this watch. Gonna leave my order as is.

Best of luck and remember that waiting is half the fun!
 
Hopeful Early Delivery News

According to an Apple Support Chat transcript that was posted on Reddit, it’s said that around 55% of the Apple Watch pre-orders will be shipped and delivered before the estimated date that users were given when they ordered their Apple Watch.

The Apple Support technician says that while they doesn’t have the info to speculate on exact Apple Watch delivery dates, they say that 55% of Apple’s orders “are being delivered before the estimated delivery date.”

At the end of the day CS will tell us what we want to hear. I agree some orders may be deliver" earlier " but most of us who got the space gray sport will not get it on launch day. I'm positive the delivery date has to do with supply instead of popularity. It was the first model to change sipping date.
 
I'm the same as you, may 26. i find that strange since many have 27.

are you in canada? it might means its easier to deliver to us lol thats always good

ya I am in Canada.. I have a great idea! Why doesn't everyone change their orders from black to white so they get it in summer and I get it April 24! That might work lol

I agree with your assessment.

I have an even better idea. Why don't you all change to black so I got my silver one earlier :) (If Apple won't cancel that is)
 
The thing that still annoys me is that I did ALL the right things and still lost.
1. Made the watch I was buying a favorite in the app
2. Made sure the payment information was correct
3. Woke up at 2:45AM EST
4. When placing the order, the screen said April 24th (range)
5. At 3:05AM EST, received a confirmation email for May 13-27 (4-6 weeks)

All I ordered was a Space Gray Sport (38mm) with sport band. Location is not the issue as I live 5 minutes from Albany, NY (alleged state capital).

So, now like the rest of us, I wait...

Same same same. Except I had my order confirmed at 3:04.
 
Apple Pay almost screwed me. I had double-checked my settings before 12:01, but it defaulted to a different card and my work address. Had to enter the correct info manually, but still got May delivery confirmation at 12:05 for my 42mm Space Black SS.
 
SS Space Black 42mm.

Ordered via the Apple Store iPad app at 3am ET on the nose just as it came up. (store app wasn't working yet on my 6+, neither was the site directly.) Confirmation email at 3:01am ET. 4-6 weeks (5/13-5/27) shown all the way through. 4/24 wasn't happening for anyone with the SS Link, but I know I'm towards the front of this group. I can see these starting 5/1, a week later starting to roll, but that's just a guesstimate. Some may be in for surprises...or it will be what was promised all along. :apple:

This. This is exactly what happened to me too. Except I got the blackout sport in 42mm

Same situation for same style, but my email came at 3:02am. Keep me updated if your shipping updates, and I'll do the same. :cool:
 
Now I'm a little nervous. I ordered 2 on opening night and have the 4-6 week delivery.

Yesterday I was looking and I accidentally purchased another by touching my thumb and the order went through. I immediately cancelled it and got confirmation that it cancelled.

Now when I go to the website it says my first two orders are processing and the 3rd (accident) is cancelled. I hope they don't cancel any of my first two orders like they did for another user.
 
Same no changes still says may 13-26.... I'm hoping by next Tuesday:Wednesday it says shipped lol
 
Apple Watch delivery

Well, after reading all the comments regarding Apple Watch preorders I must be living a charmed life. I did my homework and saved my selection of 42mm SS with Milanese Loop in favorites and at 2:03 a.m. CST placed my order and have a confirmation of delivers 4/24-5/8. Guess I lucked out.

In addition to buying multiple watches, I also see that you posted this exact same info in multiple threads. Take it easy there with the ol' input device and things will settle down for you.

Yeah, probably. I guess I'm just really excited because it's the first time I preorder an Apple device! :p

wait until they ship... that's when the REAL action starts!

one year for the iphone, our comments from our shipment tracking thread even made the washington post!

make sure you buckle in and hold on tight once they ship!!!! :D

(p.s. i'm REALLY excited to get my watch.... and it's not my first preorder! so you're in good company!)
