All these stories about the blue band watch shipping, I'm wondering whether anyone has had any movement on the white band aluminum watch even though they just ordered it. I am just not feeling the blue. Unless the stores really let you swap out the band at some point. Sorry if I missed this. Thanks!
 
I ordered last night and I am still at processing. So, no, nothing has changed, at least for me anyway!
 
I ordered 4/24 around noon. Still processing.

ETA: 4/27 am - updated to May 21 - June 4 delivery

If I were you, I wouldn't count on the white shipping right away. It's not very likely.
If you want the watch ASAP, I would get the blue and just switch out the band for the white.

White and blue have been shipping quickly judging by the posts on this board.
 
Do we know if the apple store will let you swap out the different colored bands without any extra charge. Thanks guys for all the help.
 
If you're in Canada, yes. For United States, there's definitely a wait. I ordered mine at 5:15 PM on 4/10 and it just moved to processing to ship this morning.
 
I have ordered the white, green, and blue a few days ago. Just to see what happened. Nothing so far. Which is odd, cause unless some ppl here are not telling the truth. A few ppl stated they ordered on Friday after me. And are already preparing for shipping. So at this point. I don't know who to believe...

They're not lying to you. It's all based on location. The 38mm blue, white, and green are shipping really fast. You'll have some movement soon, I promise.

Not sure what that means. I thought it was in the order you ordered, and the sku or type of watch ordered that determined it. You make it seem like they are dividing it by sections. East Coast one day, West, South etc.

No, not exactly. Location does play a role though. As well as your model and what delivery batch you're in (4/24-5/8, 4-6 weeks, june, etc). It's just another factor to consider. However, based on what I was told, if you are a June delivery and order an hour after or a week after, you both still have the same chance.
They aren't doing it based on order date, but based on what category you're in.

You'll get yours soon. Give it a few days. It'll happen.
My biggest advice to you is to get it off your mind. Don't be obsessive and check your status every five minutes. Go out with friends. Have fun. Make yourself busy. The time will go a whole lot faster that way.
Good luck to you! :)
