I ordered Wednesday and all it says is June. hopefully that changes mid may since they're ramping production. 38s seems to be moving fast, just too small for me. I already sold my 38 Space Grey Sport
Yeah its nice. I ordered the 42 SS BSB @ 15:35 on 10/05 and that's still on a 4/6 week delivery, due 12-26 May.
I read the WSB had shipped faster for some, so chanced my arm and got lucky I guess. I actually want to get other bands anyway, so the band was a make-shift until then. But do like the white
I'm seeing a lot of movement on the 42mm SS WSB. Is it because we placed them on the same order that they haven't shipped yet?
Order placed on the 26th. The card has been charged for apple care, that's it. It's still somehow pending. I don't understand Chase CC's and their processing times. >.<

I also ordered two 42mm this week, in two sperate orders though.
One order placed on April 27th (42mm SG BSB) and the other on Aptil 29th (42mm SS BSB). Until today I have not been charged and both orders say "June" as delivery date

I ordered a 42mm SS with white sport band last night from the US store. I'm curious if it's going to ship faster than the 42mm SS black sport band that I ordered on April 10th. I'm in the 4-6 week range on the black sport band and June shipping for now on the white sport band. With how slow Apple is at producing the black sport band I wouldn't be surprised to see the white one I ordered last night ship first. Apple has really let a lot of people down on this launch. Good job.
I just ordered a 42mm Sport with a Green band! Super stoked...another month or so wait like my 6+ last year..LOL
Ordered on Wenesday April 29th. June deliveries.
It's gonna take forever
I'm tempted to go in order third watch with the green band already have the SG and white on order, both say June.
But at the same time I've almost given up hope having a watch before mid June.
I ordered the 42mm green last night. It says June. I'm not too worried about it - June isn't that far away, and I wanted to wait until seeing some real-life reviews before I made up my mind. Best case: I have it before Memorial Day. Worst case: I have it the end of June.
So I posted about mine and my SOs order, and how the apple care had been charged, but was still pending...
This morning he woke up and the apple care was no longer listed on his card.
Like, it just disappeared.
I've not heard of there being a preauthorization charge greater than $1.
After speaking to a rep, they said that it can sometimes just preauthorize the whole charge, but fall off after a few days. So weird. Still trying to remain hopeful.. Been seeing a lot of white 42MM going out this week.

At this point, is it pointless to order a 42mm watch since the date is at July now? They're supposedly going to be in stores in June, so if someone lives close to an Apple Store, they may as well just wait until it's available then. Right? I'm debating whether or not to order a 42MM SS (White) tonight since I only live minutes from an AS. Do you think I should just wait until June?
I would not wait. There's only 'speculation' that they are going to be in stores in June.
But the reality is thus: If they are actually still rolling out in June (people that are ordering now are highly likely to see theirs in June or Late May), they will not be in stores in June, more than likely July/August. I asked a representative in-stores, and she said there have been so many pre-orders, that even with Apple pushing to catch up, there's going to be a lot of Late May/June deliveries.
They will be in stores before the next iPhone, but probably not in June.
Your best bet is to order the Watch now, and wait patiently. I'm sitting with a 'June' date for the 42mm SS WSB, and that's probably going to be a mid-May delivery.
