Since you selected the Space Grey Sport, maybe you can help me. I ordered both the Space Grey Sport and the Stainless Steel Case with Milanese Loop.

Why did you choose the Space Grey Sport?

1) price: as a first edition I have no idea what is coming next or when.

2) black band and space grey can easily be flexible with causal, work possibly even more dressed up look.

3) my husband has a different brand smart watch with a similar band and it is very comfortable.

Milanese was originally my first choice, but after I saw the pricing, decided the black sport offered more flexibility for the money. I'm pretty sure it won't be too long until we start seeing space grey 3rd party band options to dress it up. It was to big of a seller to ignore.
 
Same shipping estimate as yours. Ordered at 8:02 through mobile app. By the way, is that a normal to have 2 weeks window time? Chances are it will still be delivered on 24th right?

I don't think Apple has ever done this before where they provided a window like that. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it does get here the 24th. I just can't wait to have it on my wrist.
 
Got my mail 09:04 German time.
Interesting, that in Germany, they mention "Express shipping" instead of "Standard shipping". Maybe, worldwide Standard is Express in Germany :)

I wonder how many multiple orders (over 2) there were? I hope a ton, when Apple goes to cancel those over 2, dates might move up.

i ordered 3 watch's using the apple store app and had no problems. actually i did them as single orders because i couldn't figure out how to order all 3 watch's at once (no shopping basket!)

i thought the limit was only in store and reservations at 1 watch per person
 
Gutted as site wasn't loading for me, eventually thought to try app.

Confirmation email at 08:08. Delivery: 12 May - 26 May :(
 
24/04 to 08/05 for me. Trying on tomorrow in-store, really hope I don't change my mind to 38mm, then I'll really be in trouble!

Do you know by chance which service it would probably be in Germany? Will it be UPS? I hope so, as I have just registered to UPS My Choice to have as much control over the package sending as possible.

Best regards

Yes this really depends on the product. With Notebook/imac launches UPS is the normal provider but for the iPhone Hermes have done the last few launches. So i really don't know for the Watch. Also depends if the products will be directly shipped from China or first stored in Czech Rep.

My recent encounters (all launch day shipments):
  • iPhone 4: Tiny private courier service, comissioned by TNT
  • iPhone 5: Hermes
  • iPhone 6: UPS (mine), DHL Express (brother's)
Sure it depends on your location of residence and - to a certain extent - good or bad luck.
 
Slept through my alarm, ordered 22 minutes late, received a June delivery date... :(

I hope that's a very pessimistic estimate and that it'll move up. Especially because I was wanting to start using it soon to train for my first half marathon which I wanna do on the 4th of July.

Hopefully I can at least get it before my birthday (May 30th)
 
Now I'm jealous. :)
Confirmation mail at 8:02h.

weird that your order mentions standed shipping.. all 3 of my orders are with express by default with no chance of standard shipping them. im guessing they will come directly from China then
 
I placed my order for a 42mm Sport Space Gray, and I got my confirmation at 3:04AM Eastern Time. It originally said 4/24-5/8, but that has since changed to 4-6 weeks. Disappointed :(
 
Tried Chrome browser to purchase 42mm Sport Space Gray, no luck. Went to app and got the order to go through at 3:04am - confirmation email received at 3:05am.
Available to ship: 4 - 6 weeks
Delivers: May 13 - May 27 by Standard Shipping​
