Apple Offers Developers a Chance to Buy Apple Watch Sport With Guaranteed April 28 Delivery Date

Got one

I received an email timestamped 4:29 PDT like the one above, saying I was randomly selected.

When you order, the website says "Delivery in June", however, the email says Apple is guaranteeing to "expedite [my] order ship date by April 28."

I assume that means it will still ship by 4/28 by standard shipping (not expedited/overnite), however long that takes.

But it's definitely at least 4-6 weeks sooner than my original date.

Update: Still hasn't shipped as of 5:00 PM PDT 4/24.

I got the email too. I should receive my actual order mid may, so having one to use for two weeks would be pretty nice.
 
Are all the Timestamps at 7:29EST? I entered the lottery and still no email with a yes or no... Please post timestamps with your posts so we can see when they were received
 
Got mine. Timestamped at 7:12p EDT. Sorta makes up for my 42mm SS BSB that's STILL in Processing; the universe doesn't hate me too much I reckon.
 
I was chosen too. Feel kinda bad as I won't be using it. But I didn't receive any notification prior to the dispatch email. My order still had a June delivery date right up to dispatch, yesterday. Its out for delivery today!
 
Did have anyone a actual information about the shipping. My order status is send june.
 
Same here. My guess: They wait until the end of the order window (April 27 5 p.m.) and then they ship it and we get our updated delivery date.
 
Are they gonna ship out on the 28th, or is the watch delivered to our home the 28th? I have to stay home on the right day :)

I think they made it quite clear in the email you got:
We’re happy to let you know that you’ve been randomly selected to place an expedited order for one (1) Apple Watch Sport that’s guaranteed to ship by April 28, 2015.
So if your watch ships on April 28 you might not get it the same day.

You should get a shipment notification with a tracking number, indicating when the expected date of delivery is by the carrier.

Anybody else planning on swapping the blue band in the Apple Store? :)

My local store said they won't have bands in stock for "a while," so I just ordered an extra band online.
 
My order status still says June. I've had no updates or emails or anything.

Hopefully it's all being worked on behind the scenes and will turn up in a day or two but it feels really uncomfortable handing over £340 blindly.

Same with my order status.
 
Mine switch from from June to 4/28 and found a tracking number. Looks good !
But no notification from :apple: about the status change. As long they send it I'm fine
 
My shipment changed

My shipment date change, but not to the 28th it changed to May 14 - May 20 by Standard Shipping...


Has anyone else change to shipping date to today

Did it change straight from "Ships June" to "ships tomorrow", or did yours change to "Ships May 14-20" first?

Regardless, Apple promised that they'd ship "by April 28". Not April 29.

I guess they really *are* the new Microsoft, if they don't feel compelled to keep their word anymore.

It did change direct from "Ships in June" to "Delivery on april 29". Shipped with DHL Express.
 
Ordered on April 27.
Payment charged on April 27.
"Preparing for Shipment"
"Available to ship: June"

No email.

Live in Montreal, Canada, it's 1:20pm.

Looks like there's not much movement..

EDIT: 1:30pm, changed to:
"Shipped on April 28, 2015"
"Shipped: Delivers 30 Apr, 2015"
and there's a UPS tracking number.

Looks good!
