I have two Apple watches on order SS 42mm Link Bracelet
and a 38mm Sport Model with Blue Band.

I ordered these on 04/19/2015 (Which was way later in the preorder window) and i am getting a preparing to ship already???? I was originally given a June date for estimated delivery.

Figured this would give others some excitement as i was really was not expecting to see anything prepare for shipping until May or later.. So looks like I will be getting this one Watch ahead of schedule so far.. So If you are late in the game ordering you may be surprised by this.. i know i was.

Thats pretty lucky, i orderd at 12:15 AM and have June nothing changing.
 
What do you think the possibility of getting a sport model by purchasing now is? I've seen a couple people say their projected June ship date has been changed to "preparing for shipment". Thoughts?
 
I ordered a SG Sport 42MM, live in SoCal, received my order confirmation e-mail at 12:02 AM PST on 4/10 using Apple Pay in the Apple Store app on my iPad. My AMEX was charged this past Monday afternoon at which point my Apple online order status switched to "Preparing for Shipment."[/Q

What color band did you order?
 
I ordered a 42 SS classic leather band, and my order changed to preparing for shipment, I have not yet received tracking info, and have tried to use UPS my choice and Fedex to track with my phone # with no luck. Any one in this same situation? Are we to expect delivery on Friday ?
I ordered the same watch and am in the same situation as you. I'm beginning to think I'm getting mine thru FedEx. I'm in Denver.
 
UK here. Ordered the 42mm, SS, classic buckle, delivery 24/4 - 8/5. Paid with that PayPal credit thing - and no movement. Payment still pending and item still processing :-(

Ugh!

In the exact same boat (identical watch too) don't know if paypal credit is different to just paying by paypal linked to your debit card though, either way no payment taken :mad:

I would say if you ordered a sport today, you would have a 0.0000001% chance of having it by Friday, and about the same for next week.

My only option with the SG Sport was a black band. I did make a separate order for a green sport band two minutes later and that isn't expected to ship until between Apr. 29 - May 12.

I'm in the UK and ordered mine at 8:02am on 10th of April (Sport 42mm Space Grey Aluminium Case with Black Sport Band).
The status of my order changed at lunchtime today, to "Preparing for Dispatch". I'm still hopeful for Friday.
 
Or SS links. I have not seen one of those move yet. I've been reading a lot of macrumors.

forgot to tell you, my friend ordered the same time but the silver, he got charged like 2hrs ago but no update on the order status. He had a 4-6 weeks time frame
 
3:04 and still 4-6 weeks. The links were never going to be ready IMHO.

Still hoping. Maybe next week.

Just mad my friend had his cc charged and we ordered at the smae time. He ordered the silver link and I ordered the space black links. I had a June date and he got 4-6 wks. Very frustrating!
