42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Classic Buckle

i posted in another thread and wanted to see if anyone else was in the same boat, and indeed looks like I am not the only one (even though some of you are getting them).

42 BCB 4/24-5/8 delivery, got shipment notification yesterday, supposed to arrive today but my package right now is in some kind of stasis.

Looks like whats going on is some of the classic buckle watches that were processed yesterday all have the wrong bands. Apple realized it, which is why the tracking says "Package in transit to UPS" because UPS doesn't have them. Some have updated with a RETURN TO SENDER and others, like mine, are just in limbo. Looks like yours was actually delivered and proper. You''ll notice the package weight is also off.

Im curious to see if you folks get yours delivered, and if they have the proper band.

Mine was just delivered (I had the same basic time stamps as you) - it is the black classic buckle, exactly as I ordered it. :)

Thank you for letting me know! Looks like I'm kinda alone in this. Well i hope you enjoy yours! Congrats!
 
Let me say the packaging is so typical Apple. When you open the shipping box, the cardboard insert holding the retail box in has a cutout so the Apple Watch logo is the first thing you see.

Worth the wait! sorry Tim didn't mean all that hate.

Classic buckle rocks by the way... exceeded my expectations.

Mine showed up yesterday, it's quite cool.

Not sure how well the band will age, but it'll definitely need replacement within a year or so with daily wear.

changed from processing for shipping to shipped at 6.30pm last night to out for delivery this morning. that is much more gratifying than following it all the way from China. Originated in KY.
 
The case for my 42 mm came today... such a tease, although it gives me an idea of the size of the watch, since I haven't seen one in person yet :D
 
I posted this in the show off your Apple Watch Thread, but I figured it was particularly relevant in this thread as well. Anyone who is waiting on there 42mm SS with BCB and wants to see how it looks compared to other watches, check out my video below!

 
preparing for shipping

Preparing for shipping. I'm stunned.... I ordered on 4/10 and received my confirmation email at 3:57 CDT. My card has been charged. I was in the 5/13 shipping window. No tracking info or email yet. I'm guessing maybe Tuesday/Wed ETA? Just when I'd gotten use to waiting. Good news for all of you waiting for a 42mm SS BCB.

Damn now I'm wishing I would have gone the same route as you because I ordered at around the same time as you did....but since I ordered the 42mm SS BSB I have who-knows-how-long before my order ships.

Tracking #s usually come about 24 hrs after the card gets charged. Enjoy your watch.

I was wondering if your charge is still "pending" ? MY card has been pending for the charge but hasn't moved from that state since late last Thursday .. My status on the Apple Store is still "processing item" and my date of delivery is 4-6 weeks ... I am SO over this waiting! :(

Congrats. I received mine Tuesday early evening. I'm on my 3rd full day. I'm very impressed overall with the watch and band. It misbehaved a bit syncing a music playlist to the Watch but it's fine now. There's some lag, notification delay, at-times unresponsive screen.... all stuff common to a 1st gen device. Overall, they did one helluva job. This is a very sophisticated gadget and it's pretty amazing. I synced a bluetooth headset to it today without effort and it works great. The band is really nice. It's really comfortable today. The first two days I figeted with it a bit. Today was like I'd been wearing it for a year. It's natural leather so I don't think getting it wet is a very good idea. I'm considering spraying a good quality natural leather water sealer on it. Maybe someone else would like to try it first??

I ordered mine on 04/14 and am still processing with a June delivery. I'll post here if I see any change in my status since I order 2 weeks before you and have the same June delivery date.
 
Any U.S. updates for anyone that ordered the 42mm BCB after April 14th?

Ordered mine on 4/27 with a June 22nd - June 29th shipping time frame.
 
I ordered mine late last night (5/24) and the estimated delivery dates are July 1-8. Wondering how these are moving lately. I'm also pretty sold on the white sports band so I was thinking I might be better off ordering the SS with WSB and then buying the Classic Buckle separately. As of now I have no way of knowing which model ships sooner since they both have the same estimate.
