My bruise is gone now, and no new ones, but I've been very careful to keep my wrist up off of my laptop as much as possible. That's all I can figure out may have caused it -- bumping harder there than I noticed. If I wear my sport band it's not a problem, but I like the look of the modern buckle better so I wear it much more often than the sport band.
Got a tip for us?

38mm SS Pale Pink Modern Buckle (large) - ordered May 3, Apple Pay card charged at 1pm today June 1, status changed to preparing for shipment, current delivery estimate is June 4 - June 11.
Squeeeee! That's wonderful! I have one with a delivery estimate of 6/4-6/11... maybe mine will charge in a few minutes. It's a Midnight Blue MB, but still. Same delivery window. *Fingers crossed*
I wonder when you'll actually get it?
I'm guessing no later than 6/4. Probably 6/3?
I will, of course, let you know when I know. My 42mm SS BSB was delivered the day after preparing for shipment, but it was already in-country. I'm guessing delivery Wednesday June 3 or Thursday June 4.
Something has definitely gone wrong there. I expect you have already called Apple, but another call might do the trick. Perhaps they'll give you a discount or send you a gift card or something. That's crazy.
What size was your MB? I think I recall it being pink, but maybe it's my imagination?
It's weird that yours is still processing if KeepCalm ordered a pink MB after you and has just been charged. Very weird. Unless yours winds up charging today and this is a big batch?
That happened with someone else on here who ordered a MB. I forget the exact scenario, but it seems like these are getting done in large (by MB standards, anyway) batches.
The one I ordered on 5/21 is a medium midnight blue, btw.
Does seem strange that yours is shipping before hers unless it's a size issue. The MB might be plagued with a color plus size type of deal. This launch has been so crazy. I swear, they should've just sold some of these bands separately and had people buy a basic watch (a sport band one for 549 in white or black) and just order these slow-moving straps separately.
They'd have gotten more orders that way and could accurately gauge how many of each size/color/etc they needed.
I ordered a small pink modern buckle. I just did the Apple Chat thing and that was less than helpful. I was just assured that I would get it between June 4-11 and to be patient "it is so close now" and a lot of other ridiculous non helpful comments.
The Apple Chat reps always make me feel stabby.
I'm thinking yours will indeed be shipped within the week, though. I doubt they'll miss that deadline.
I'm completely perplexed. The 38mm black MB (medium) I ordered on 5/29 is PFS and supposed to arrive tomorrow. The estimated arrival dates were 6/11-6/18.
The 38mm midnight blue MB (medium) I ordered on 5/21 is due between 6/4 and 6/11, but it's still processing.
This is absolutely a color plus size thing with these watches.

I think you are right, I ordered the medium blue MB on April 10 at 956 pm, and have the same dates as you (6/4 - 6/11).... Still processing...... My poor wife is so jealous since I got my watch today.... Btw it is glorious!!!
In any case, patience is running thin......

Shipment notification received 12:37am PST on June 2. Standard shipping via UPS. Delivers June 5 according to shipment notification email. UPS tracking shows delivery on June 4. Origin was Suzhou, China.
Hello! I was the one who works as a flight attendant and had another 8 day trip starting on the 3rd but had a delivery window of June 4th- June 8th.
After an annoying fiasco with UPS, I managed to get it today - June 3rd! I was the first person at that delivery pickup center right as the doors opened
For reference, my watch is a Small Midnight blue modern buckle ordered around 8am EST on April 10th.
I'm so happy right now

I remember responding to you! Glad you got it!
Thanks
it's funny, I worked at Apple for four years and now I get to have that confused look on my face as I fiddle around with this - trying to learn everything lol.
Well the watch went from China - Anchorage - Louisville as is usual, but it was accidentally left in Louisville this morning when it should have been heading west, so it is delayed a day. ETA is now June 5 again.
Thanks
Watch the guided tours. It really helps!

Yay! Enjoy your new watch!
Thanks
It's okay. The employees in the stores seem to still be learning, too!
I got the black medium MB I ordered on 5/29 yesterday. Was going to return my other watch, then my daughter up and decided she wanted it.
The midnight blue I ordered on 5/21 is due between 6/4 and 6/11, but who knows? I'll decide which one I want when it finally shows up, I guess.
