Charged this AM!
I ordered late (1:17am Pacific, but still in the 4/24-5/8 window), and after deciding this AM to return the watch charger I ordered (which was supposed to ship in May but showed up on April 23) because I might not get the watch until after the 14-day return window, lo and behold, I have a pending charge from Apple this AM for the watch (42mm SS/Classic) and status has changed to Preparing for Shipment!
If the Sport model had a sapphire crystal, I likely would have gotten a Space Gray model. That model to me looks the best of all the options, and is dressy enough for work, but the glass crystal will take a beating based on the design of the watch.
