USA, Texas. I got the shipment notification at 9:19AM this morning. Apple says the 3rd, but UPS says the 2nd.
I'd be willing to bet you'll have both within the next week. It's very possible your 42mm SS ML order will be lumped in with the rest of ours (it seems as though they finally have a rather large supply of them now) and I bet the 38mm Sport PSB will be shipped shortly afterward.
Same here... Ordered 4/29 florida 42 ss milanese .. Went to processing for shipment today...card was charged...no tracking yet
Wow, there must have been very few ML orders from April 14th onward. Either that or they fixed that taptic engine problem / new year understaffed production line problem or whatever else that was holding things up.
I'm hoping you're right, I ordered on May 22nd, hoping it comes really soon. I'm anxious for it.
Since you didn't expect your watch until after June 8th, I would recommend that you call Apple and tell them to give the 42mm Milanese band to my order from April 10
Still sitting on 22 to 29 June delivery. 11 weeks for a band? I could order today a 42mm watch with Milanese band and get it in 2 to 3 weeks.
Maybe I should do it. Keep it for 2 weeks until I get my band and return it. Strange business strategy.
Ordered on May 25th, with an original delivery date of July 1 - 8. Then it changed to June 18 - 24. Now it changed to June 16 - 22.
Hoping it'll be sooner now!

I was just about to ask how yours hasn't shipped yet and then realized you were talking about the band only and then realized that you were the guy who rightly corrected me in that other thread about Milanese Loops only, haha. Although that thread did end up getting moved to the accessories forum. Yeah I had an "educated hunch" it would be that week but I guess I wasn't optimistic enough! I wouldn't mind going with a BSB for a few weeks but considering this is my only band for now I think I'll just have to hold onto it lol. I was wanting to hold out for a Product Red sport band or third party but I really think I'll need one soon. I was actually considering buying a BSB when I was at the Apple Store a couple weeks ago but they didn't have any bands for sale. Then literally the next week they started selling them in store and I don't live close to any stores (I was on a trip).
So--Yesterday afternoon at about 2 PM i went from June16-22 Processing to Preparing to Ship--but with no change in estimated delivery dates (June 16-22, 2-3 weeks). Based on what I've been reading on this Forum, I thought that since over 24 hours has passed, I would have shifted from Preparing to Ship to Shipped. Anyone else in this same boat--still waiting for movement from Preparing to Ship???
Ordered mine 4/22, went to Preparing for Shipment 5/29, Shipped on 5/30 from China, expecting delivery in NJ on 6/2.
What's nice is that my local Apple Store manager is allowing me to return my WATCH Sport that I preordered on 4/10 and received 4/22. I walked in over the weekend and asked him to extend the return policy (we're talking 38 days versus the standard 14 days), and he had no issue with that. Even though I was expecting to return it on the spot if he allowed it (I brought in all the packaging and packing slip), he was like it, "You don't have to return it today, just bring it in when you get your new one. You shouldn't be without one while you wait."

You can't really count weekend days/time for this. Estimated delivery dates don't change once you go into PFS. I would bet you go to shipped tomorrow and receive it on Tuesday.
Right you were! Shipping notice received overnight, delivery on Tuesday June 2. Order placed April 25, east coast US for 42 MM SS ML.
So--original estimate "June"
--next updated to June 22-29
--then updated to June 16-22
--with delivery scheduled for June 2
Those who predicted Apple would "under promise and over deliver" were absolutely correct. I remain very excited about the product, but still feel the rollout was very poorly executed (primarily because of lack of transparency about where things were at--I would have even been satisfied with a frank "we are very sorry, but due to a variety of factors, we simply can't give you a more precise answer to your question, but we will do our best to get your watch to you asap." Really, was that too much to ask???)
OK--signing off and returning to my prior pattern of waiting a bit to buy new Apple products (this early adopter thing has been way too time consuming
).Interesting. Yours left China today... And Your 6/3 delivery date. Mine is already in Alaska as of yesterday, and I'm 6/3 too.
Yes, im bored and anxious.
