And how do you know that's what I'm doing?!?
I ordered the 38mm at 3:01AM EST only to receive a May 13-27 shipping window.
After the try on appointment, I realized I wanted a 42mm and ordered that one at noon on the 10th. This one ships in June.
The silver sport with blue band was ordered because there were a few people who ordered them and had them ship the next day.
And maybe I do want to keep them all. What difference does it make? Neither of us are getting a watch today.
Ok, now the fun begins.
Face it, it's going to be a few days at least. The question is how many.
What do you think, a week or two? ....(probably, not more than that, but i'm seeing some scary July references, but this doesn't apply here hopefully)
A week or two would be great. If they continue to ship steadily (which unfortunately doesn't seem to be the case for the watch I ordered) then we could be lucky to receive ours sometime next week. They seem to be ahead of schedule since many already received their watches
I don't ... and I did not even know you ordered multiple watches.
I read a lot of german forums where people are happily selling their 42mm sport watches and ordered three with different coloured sport bands.
Question I had ordered a ss bsb on April 11th with apple care was never charged for the watch or apple care.
For the hell of it I just ordered a ss wsb with Apple care on April 24 and I checked my debit card the Apple care was already pending.
Does that mean the wsb will ship first?

Or not at all. Let's face it, the watch is an IMPULSE buy for many, myself included. Since I don't really NEED it, I'm not really sure what my plan is. Mid May doesn't seem like a good option...we shall see...
They still work fine for me, but I will say they are just screenshots of an order status screen and of the current shipping estimate from Apple.com.
So are you thinking of canceling your order? My point was only that it's becoming more obvious, admittedly based solely on Macrumors posts, that the majority of us in the May 13-27 group are likely not to get a watch until that date range or later.
I don't need it either, or even want it that much. Looks cool.
But I'll certainly not cancel. What's the point? I mean, an impulse buy perhaps, but there's plenty of time to consider it's ultility.
Given that people in our date range are getting watches today, I think May 13 is almost the latest we could get them.
True enough. I ordered a silver sport with blue band as I had seen a few posts showing that their ship times were quicker. My shipping on that one says June.
Since there seems to be an issue with Space Gray, maybe my silver will come quicker.
I have not seen anyone in our date range receive their watch early, but if so great. I don't expect to see my Sport 42mm Space Grey until at least May 13.
There's been quite a few people in our range that are getting their watch today. Mainly white and blue, though.
I look at it this way - the first rounders will find any kinks, flood servers, skin issues if any and submit app defects so that by the time I get mine a few issues will shake loose. Patience all. We will have them by summer.
Yes, apparently black was too hard of a color for Apple to make.
strange how Apple didn't anticipate it being in such high demand. I'm more disappointed than I should be, but it does sting.
I didn't get up at :00 on Apr 10 to be a late comer to the party. I fully embrace being an early adopter.
What burns me is that at least when iPhone first released I could get in line at a store (second in line). I can guarantee a product in my hands by ensuring my physical place in towards the front of a line verses being 1 millisecond too late on a website.
The things that could make me feel good about not having the watch now is that every person's watch is defective (with evidence already showing otherwise) or the majority of people are just completely dissatisfied with theirs and I can cancel my order.
My thoughts exactly. I woke up at 2:45AM EST. When I placed my order, it said April 24th. My confirmation email said May 13-27. I would gladly order something else if it would come sooner.
I would even consider upgrading to stainless steel.
I guess there was no point in getting up early.
Sounds like an exercise in futility. Nothing like talking to a human imitating a robot.
