Again: people who got their watches earlier than expected and ordered hours after the store opening did not order 42 mm (nor 38 mm) Space Gray watches. The SG watches which are currently getting shipped are within the xx:05:00 and xx:06:59 window in the US, about 1 to 2 minutes earlier in Europe. Most between xx:05:00 and xx:06:30.

I'm just as tired as you of waiting but remember: your shipping estimation is May 13-27 so Apple is technically not late in its deliveries. They actually ship way earlier than expected. So please, be patient, lay back, get yourself a glass of Bourbon, go outside. I do not know but stop worrying about this whole thing :) you will get your watch pretty soon!

On a side-note: enjoy just waiting for an expansive watch to come at you, not food, not shelter, nor help like those people in Nepal.

Yea you're right, I know. Definitely not a huge deal, but expectations could have been managed a whole lot better. Should have said "Apple Watch available April 24 / limited styles only"
 
Wow, looks like several of the Apple Watch models now show a July shipping date on apple.com. 42mm SG sport is one of them.
 
Where are you located? Now :07s are getting love while U.S. :06s are waiting. Hopefully there is more movement for us at some point today/tonight

:03 are waiting in Germany, ....
My order time is :04:22
I hope there is more movement in Germany first ;)
 
I'm at XX:15 somehow, I could of sworn I got in my order quicker...the lucky people who used the app made out nice and got to order before anyone else... I'm still in the 4-6 week window. This is gonna be a lonnnnng wait.. :(

It's about a minute per day. You'll have your Watch on the 12th or so. It's really only a long wait if you are focusing a lot on it, like watching and waiting for a pot of water to boil.

It's no where near a minute per day. The first of the :05s were charged and shipped on Monday. Still not done with the 05s.
 
I just went to check my discover card app and it says that we are having Technical difficulties with pending transactions, please check later. Anyone else have this?


I thought maybe it was a good thing that it was happening to me too... But alas I refreshed, it came up, and nothing new to report.
 
I've been a defender of these shipping windows since Apple is obviously having problems getting Watches out, but even I'm finding it galling how much stock Maxfield's is getting while deliveries seem to have slowed to a crawl for everyone else. Especially because a lot of that Maxfield's stock is going directly into the hands of scalpers.

Amen brother! I originally thought that the decision by Apple to have a retail presence in Maxfield's was a marketing ploy. Maxfield's would involve a very limited number of watches creating very lengthy lines and media buzz. It appears they are able to get inventory very quickly according to previous post!
 
Is this the first 24 hour span where there haven't been any charges? I think the last wave of charges happened no later than 5:30am or so yesterday morning (EST).
 
lol my recent chat with Apple to confirm my order time, which the rep confirmed was 5 seconds before my confirmation email of xx:06:29

Really irks me that they are getting shipments. Like you I thought it was a launch day ploy, but no... They are regularly fulfilling walk-in orders while we sit and wait.
 
Anyone here purchased the 42mm Milanese Loop on April 10 2015 at 3:10AM (EST NYC)?



Mine says mid-May which is frustrating since I ordered within 10 minutes after they started the preorders.



I have been waiting for this &@%& since Xmas!


Wrong thread my friend. This is just 42mm SG
