Today my black sports band went 'preparing for shipping' and my CC charged but still no sign of my Apple Watch with modern buckle moving along

I ordered the black sports band a full three weeks after I ordered the watch coz I'm super keen to use the fitness tracking features. I'm kinda happy knowing I will have a sports band when I get my watch arrives coz I didn't really wanna work out in the modern buckle...but it would also be nice to see them arrive approx the same time.
Surely, with so many of us in the May 12-25 shipping window we are going to have to see some movement over the next few days. I hope i'm one of the lucky ones and I hope you all are too
