42mm Sport Space Gray - Why???
Totally agree. I have seen screen shots posted that show 42mm Sport Space Gray shipping that had late may estimated dates. Yet I have the 4/24-5/8 date and am still processing.
FRUSTRATING!
----------
How soon after the pre-order did you order? When was your orginal promised ship date range?
----------
In the same boat. Seeing posts that people in later delivery windows are getting confirmations. I ordered at :03. Curious how many other people are noticing orders jumping over theirs.

I'm giving up hope for a tomorrow delivery but Apple never promised me a 24th delivery so I can't be upset. I was just hoping.... No cc charge, still processing SS 42mm sport black band.

I don't know I it's the watch or the bands but a lot of configurations including the SS 42mm have no movement at all.
Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Milanese Loop
Received confirmation (UK) this afternoon. ETA tomorrow confirmed

No drama. Just curious to see if others have noticed orders that were scheduled for later delivery periods jumped over or superseded theirs. Also, many of us ordered one for us and one for our spouse. For us, unboxing together is almost like date night. Sad as that may sound, but true. In addition with a 14 day return window, we want to evaluate them to the fullest to see if we want to keep them or return, so only having one first and waiting for the second impacts our long term potential etc...
Wow! I must be the only one that bought at 3:25am ET. It seems that everyone bought at 3:03am. I didn't plan it that way, I just happened to wake up, glanced at the clock and grabbed my iPad and made my purchase. I will admit that I have usually just bought my various iPhones on Pre-order day by 6 or 7 am and always received them on launch day. It looks like I won't this time but it's OK, it's just a watch.
I would like to add I am more upset that I won't be able to watch YouTube on my Apple TV 2 in a month.

I ordered my 38mm SG Black Sport on 4/10 @3:05am.
...was immediately given a May delivery period.
Does ANYONE with the same above information miraculously have a delivery time for tomorrow???
Why in the shiz did I have to order this version, why???

I ordered the same config 12:04am PST and am in the very same situation so nothing good from me.
Why isn't apple giving us true full answer I ordered my watch at 3 Minster after the phone line was open. They said they were sold out in 6 hours meaning they had enough to fill my order so why didn't they. I would appreciate an answer from Apple not some stupid general email. They have my order number and should give us an individual answer. Shame on them
42mm SS with black leather band received in Australia
Very surprised as I was originally told June when I ordered. Even when I heard they might ship earlier than estimates I assumed that might be a week or two, but to get it on launch day is a huge (and very pleasant) surprise

I ordered the same thing at 3:07AM, from Indianapolis. Perhaps a few minutes "late". Confirmation of April 24-May 8. Rather disappointed because its still in processing. I really thought that the 42 SS BSB would be a very popular watch and that there would be a good supply of them produced. What do I know?

WHOA!
When did you order?
Is that the 42mm SS classic buckle you got?
QUESTION: Wondering if anyone who ordered the
42mm SS w/ Black Sport Band has received a shipping notification
yet on theirs. I ordered mine at 12 minutes after the start time.
Just curious if anyone has received notification yet of shipping.
Thank you

I haven't seen a single post about a 42mm Space Black being prepared for shipment. Am I the only person who ordered one?
These seem to be by far in the shortest supply. I have a confirmation at 12:07 PST and a ship date in June.

I'm not complaining of a couple of days delivery time. I'm complaining of not knowing a decent time frame for my delivery. I would rather apple say I'm getting it some time in June and surprise me with faster delivery than say April 24th to May 8th with every possibility that its going to be later than that.
And to send me an email late on the 23rd that still says 24th as a possible delivery date is just crazy.
It falls in the same boat as the web sites crashing or going nuts with new product releases or debuts of new products via keynote.
I'm sorry that I expect more from one of the largest consumer computer based electronics company in the world.
And I have never stood in line and not been able to get exactly what I was in line for. This roll out has been a bit of a fiasco with miss information and/or conflicting information given.
And if I had stood in line and not gotten what I wanted I wouldn't be too down about it. At least I would know I gave it a try.
What frustrates the crap out of me is people who ordered the exact same watch as I did 10 to 15 min later than me and they got delivered on the 24th.
Sending out orders in order they are received my rear.

I received a notification on Thursday just after 1115pm that my order was in process and that it would be delivered some time between April 24th and may 8th.
A friend at work ordered hers from the web site at 3:14am and got hers. And its a black 42mm stainless with black sport band.
And apple dares say they are shipping out in order of receipt.
I was wondering if it was an issue with Apple pay. Would't that be a hoot.

I'm calling B.S.
I canceled my order and purchased it from eBay brand new untouched un on opened from eBay and I love it
Literally I'm sad glad I did cause people now are over pricing it at the moment.
I only paid $45 extra but I guess that counts for shipping cause I literally got it the next day

I hear the space black apple watch is in really high demand with low numbers available.
It looks very sharp and I'm a fan of that link bracelet but I'm not willing to put up 1000 for it at this time.
I settled for the stainless steel 42mm apple watch with black sports band
I was bummed out it didn't ship for the 24th (I know 3rd world problem)
But I'm all smiles now. Mine is shipping next day air saver and should be on my arm tomorrow evening.
Any others still waiting for a stainless steel with black sport band?
Has anyone done the video-conference setup session through apple store?
