I do understand they underestimated the demand (it happens, I'm over it), but I'd be surprised if they don't learn from this and change the way you order next time.

No doubt. They'll do something very different next time. This launch has clearly tested the current system to breaking point.
 
I just don't get why the bands weren't sold separately. Look at the pink group....I'm sure if just given the option to order another band, they would. Or if the watch arrived before your band, I'm sure no one would be too upset about going to the store and picking up the second band they likely planned on buying down the road anyways.

Selling and shipping the bands separately would have made Apple more money upfront (more people buying multiple bands)

38mm SG Sport
2:07:09
May 13-27
No EOD, no CC, no hope.

I'm truly suprised they didn't offer the Sport watch in 2 bands (white and black) and then sell all the other bands as extras. They'd have made a mint.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems as if charges haven't happened in a few days now for anyone.
 
Chime in if you are in the 3rd shipping batch 4-6wks. I order the Silver 42mm Sport with White Band at 3:40am EST. I over slept, I was up at 2:40am and decided to close my eyes for just 5mins... :( Oh well it's better than having to wait till June.

It's fine cause with my 3:10amEST space grey 42mm/BLK sports band and a 5/13 - 5/27. You might get your watch before i do.

I was charged last night for the 38mm green sport and it was June delivery. Shipped today and will have it Monday.

Man I should switch to the green one! My friend ordered at the same time as I did. I made an unboxing vid for his but it will probably take forever for me to get mine.

Some folks got charged late last night in some other threads for the SS SBS. But there's still people who ordered 4 minutes after who haven't gotten charged.

I think the possibility is growing more real that we won't get ours early and could even possibly lean towards the end of our window.
 
I started to preorder at 2:59amEST on April 10th, with my PC and did not get on the website until 3:09am. 42mm space grey with BLK sports band, that's how I got the 5/13--5/27 dates.

The same happened to me. By the time I logged in with my pc and looked at all the watches and they were mostly at 4 to 6 weeks. I placed my order and it was 12:16pm pst. That 7 minute period was an eternity in watch orders.
