Curious - those that purchase the 42mm SG Sport and had the May 13 - 27 time frame and they're getting shipped much sooner, did you purchase Apple Care+ with your watch? I'm sure it has nothing to do with it, but I'm curious if getting Apple Care slows down your order?

42 SG Sport
May 13-27th shipping
Still in Processing status

No Apple care on mine. I ordered 12:04 am got the SG 42mm which will be here tomorrow :)
 
It's just interesting that they has been such a lack of movement today. Oh well.

Yeah, I can't figure out what happened. Unless all of the watches that charged off yesterday were the ones that landed this afternoon. I may have been wrong about the timing of charges, maybe we get charged when the UPS flight departs from Asia. I know shipping updates when the planes leave Alaska for whatever hub in the destination country. This is wild.
 
They already delivered more then they had expected... Quote from Tim Cook's conference:

"We were able to deliver Apple Watch to more customers over the weekend than we initially expected. I’m generally happy with how we’re moving with the ramp. With any new product, you end up taking more time to ramp. By some time in late June we currently anticipate being in a position that we could begin to sell the Apple Watch in additional countries."
 
It's crazy that a thread of Apple fans can't figure out the shipping and order fulfillment structure of a multi billion dollar company.
 
I have 2 orders in, the 38MM just switched to ready for shipment today.

38MM SS WSB
8:21 AM EST
Original Estimate: May 13 - May 27
Charged: TBD


42MM SS BSB
8:36 AM EST
Original Estimate: May 13 - May 27
Charged: 04/26
Preparing for Shipment: 4/27 (today)
 
..... Sport watches sold out the fastest, I guess OR Apple limited the initial production. Seeing that others got through w/i minutes and still had the same ship date is somewhat reassuring.

My Order
WATCH: 42mm Apple Watch - Stainless Steel
Link Band
Ordered at: 12:10am(PDT) April 10th only because Apple site said "still updating" (another word for crashed). It took me 10 minutes to get in.
Got confirmation at 12:21am April 10th. With a May 13-27 delivery date.

On the other hand (referring to the above quote)....my wife ordered an Apple Sports Watch with white band on April 14th....FOUR DAYS LATER! UPS delivered her Apple Sports Watch on Friday, April 24th! Must not be any shortage on the Apple Sports Watch. What's going on Apple?!

It appears to me that the link band and the sapphire display is still taking time to manufacture. I'm not hopeful of a delivery before the May 13-27 timeframe.

I feel like there may have been some sarcasm in there. Fact is you would think that with this many people, and I would imagine that with all of the first adopters there would be some pretty smart folks in here... we could figure out some sort of method to the madness.

Dude, no sarcasm at all!! Check the front page of macrumors, the whole conference is there....

Hopefully we do. I'm curious as to how many they have shipped so far.

42 SG Sport
May 13-27th shipping
Based in Northern CA

AppleCare+ charged to credit card yesterday
Watch charged to credit card this morning
Shipment notification received 2 hours ago

Due to deliver tomorrow :)
 
Just got a "your apple watch sport is expected to ship within the next 2 to 3 weeks" email for the white watch I ordered Friday. I assume this is the email in regards to the shipping date changing from June availability to Delivers May 14 - 20. I dunno what that means, but it is movement in my eyes :) Again if it delivers before the expected date I will be ecstatic and grateful to :apple:
I got that email as well but it quickly changed to delivering tomorrow!
 
Now I'm a little confused how June orders are now May 13-20. Maybe there's hope or maybe those were ordered before me.
I'm May 14-28 - didn't order until I could get a try on Sunday 4/12.
38 SS ML.
 


I have no idea why this slice company is taken as such a credible source. People are opting in to having their email scanned. How is that assured to be a representative sample to try and extrapolate information from?

I hereby predict 17% of people got their watches and apple will 3.145 million watched this lunar year. Source: some future telling rocks I found in my driveway.
