For anyone who has already received their watch, how long after this email was received did it take to have the watch ship?

My sister received an email like that for her Sport Pink on May 6th & it shipped on May 9th. I just got the same email for my husband's Space Gray & am hoping it will ship next week :)

I ordered on April 11th and I've never received an email from Apple other than my order confirmation just after preordering. Obviously Apple loves you guys more than me.
 
Ordered 14.April in Germany.

A few days ago shipping date changed from June to 29. May - 02. Jun.

Today status changed in PFS and shipped.

ETA 29. May with UPS standard.

A few hours and it'll ring on my door ! :)
 
We ordered 2 watches on April 27th. For my wife's 38 SS we got the "expected to ship in 2-3 weeks" email on May 6th and she was wearing the watch on May 8th.

Just got the same email for my 42 SG... I'm hoping we are days away at this point.
 
I just received the same email a bit ago. Perhaps it's a sign, or perhaps it's just a courtesy.
It's nice of them to confirm the wait...
 
Ordered Apple Watch Sport Space Gray 42 mm around 7:45 pm and it will be coming in 2-3 weeks!

lol for the fact I ordered the same exact watch 47 days ago on April 11th and will end up only getting mine 7-12 days before you. Doesn't really add up but ummmm whatever. Doesn't really matter now. Home stretch is here!
 
Got the same email. Saw something from Apple and thought it was coming sooner. Siht just got real! Oh well, it will be here eventually.

Increased production and majority of the demand was in the first few hours. It should make sense, whether you agree with the timing or not is a different question :)
 
Just got the same email and I ordered on May 21! My official date range is June 18 - June 24.

YOU LOVE COMPLAINING!
Just kidding. I was hoping to see you post that you got yours already.
We're almost there...I think. Do you still obsessively check your order status?

Got the same one today also. Got excited till I read it lol. Then got excited again after reading this forum lol. Hopefully we wear watches next week!
 
I got the same 2-3 week email notification as well. Apple also sent me the same email 2 weeks ago notifying me that my window had moved to 5-7 weeks instead of just vague July.
 
June 13-June 19

My June 22-29 estimate was moved to June 13-19! And I'm expecting Apple to deliver it the week before that because they're Apple. ;)

Hong Kong.
Ordered April 26.
 
Most of the other models are shipping considerably earlier than the delivery dates now. So here's hoping my May 7th order with a June 16-23 delivery comes early as a pleasant surprise, as well as the rest of the 42 SGS orders.
 
On the May 29 - June 11 forum people who preordered April 10 at 11:30 and 12:45 pm EST are being charged and moving to Prepared for Shipping status (pgs 44-45 of the forum). That means yesterday alone we moved through about 12 hours of preorders and I'd fully expect that to speed up even more. If this rate of speed holds my April 11th 10:14am MST should be charged late tonight!! So glad Apple is moving through preorders by hours rather than minutes/seconds!
 
My friend who ordered on the 11th mid day now says shipped. Supposedly they are up to the 13th for some people.
