Probably first week of May.
Should be fun.
Some of the initial excitement, which is pretty intense here, will have worn off.
BTW: I have absolutely no idea what i'm going to do with it

Yes, but it might get real boring here if they don't ship for a few more weeks.
I think I will have to agree now. The hope has died and I think its because no one has any crazy ideas of why I can strap an Apple Watch to my wrist earlier than May 13th.
I'm in the wrong group. I woke myself up at 2 am (est) and was ready to order for the whole hour. I didn't move from my computer the whole time. If Apple had told us that the app users would a 10 minute head start, I would have been in at :01 and my order page would say preparing to ship and my payment would have gone through already and I would be sitting here pissed that the stand I ordered wouldn't be here until May instead of feeling depressed watching others get excited about credit cards being charged.
Ordered my 42mm SG at 12:03, hit the button stating 04/24-05/08, got the confirmation email at 12:04:39 stating this later May date range. Double checked to make sure I had a 42mm cost me weeks. I have seen a couple people with a later order and confirmation time than mine, quoted with the 04/24-05/08 range, now with a change to Shipping. Go Figure???
I agree, not a lot of consistency regardless what you read.
I have a 42mm SG black band and ordered using the Apple Store App.
3:07 time with 5-13 - 5-27 range.
FWIW, the App did not go live for me until 3:04.

Same exact thing happen to me! 12:04 checkout

Not exactly because the app didn't work for me until 12:03 ordered by 12:04....I had the April launch date but when I got the email it said may
Quick tip about the Apple Store app. My friend and I were both ready at the same time at 3:01am to place the orders for our Sport SG 42mm on the Apple Store app. We were both using an iPhone 6 plus, I was on wifi and my friend on cellular data. We had saved the watches under favorites so we could go in and just place the order quickly. At 3:01EST I was still getting the 'store is unavailable' message. I kept closing and opening the app but still unavailable. At 3:02 my friend texted me that he got his and sent the order confirmation. I was freaking out so kept closing and opening the app but still nothing. I decided to switch off wifi and go cellular data and bam! the Apple Store came up. But by then it was too late (3:04). May 13 date for me and April 24 for my friend. I was on comcast wifi he was on a At&t LTE. I have to assume that comcast (or my device itself) did not refresh DNS and caused the delay for me. Next time I might just use cellular connection or flush and register DNS just prior to the stores launch. Hope this helps for 
Watch 2.

I was a 12:05 email confirmation. Had the 4/24-5/8 window @ order screen, 5/13-5/27 @ confirmation.
No movement yet. I don't expect it Friday, but I do think I could see the watch by the end of April.

xx:04 confirmation
nope
I originally had the 38mm SP saved as my favorite but decided during the apple store dead period to get the 42mm one due to battery life. I wasted about a minute to go through the app to find the watch before ordering. Doesn't seem like it did any good. I don't think anyone has gotten a sub xx:04 confirmation.

I too am in the May 13-27 group and I fully expect to get mine no earlier than May 27th.
42mm Space Gray Apple Watch Sport
I ordered the 42mm Space Gray Apple Watch Sport. Received email confirmation at 3:06am EST (I believe the order went through around 3:05am EST, but I am not 100% positive). I am shipping the watch to my Bloomington address. Have not received any pending charges nor a shipping confirmation yet (pending status still). Hope to see some sort of movement before Friday. I feel that Apple overestimated the shipping dates, obviously, in order to have customers receive their product sooner rather than later. When I preordered my Space Gray ATT 128GB iPhone 6 Plus, I received it on September 25, 2014, even though my 'shipment date' was early/mid October. I hope we all start seeing good signs and some movement, but since this is a brand new product launch, expect the unexpected.

Anyone in this group see any movement yet? Maybe a favorable outlook this morning? Is the sun shining where you are?
