My Space Gray 42mm Sport ordered X:06am just changed to "preparing for shipment"
Update yay!
This morning I checked my bank account and noticed I was almost broke. Yep you guessed it there was a charge for the Apple Watch to my surprise, I thought they forgot about me, well they sort of did anyway...A few times I looked at my bank account and had a false alarm as the charges were from Applebees's confused:
Order status still showed Processing at first. Later in the morning it showed preparing for shipment. Earlier today it changed to shipped. UPS tracking number still doesn't come up but I'm assuming I will receive the goods either tomorrow or Friday. Been waiting for so long I sort have lost all the excitement already so lets see what happens when it finally arrives. I have not been reading any threads here about those who are already using it so I feel like a virgin right now.

So did you get your goods today? I been accurate on a few predictions or should I say rumors here... Worse case I'll just find a job as a Psychic if something goes array with my regular job.

It's officially in transit and on schedule.UPS is quite reliable in my area so I'm looking forward to receiving it in a matter of hours.

Ordered on the 4/10 42mm SS BSB, 38mm SS WSB. Then had to change my method of payment. Because my CC got compermized some how. Anyway the 38mm had a 4-6weeks, the 42mm SS June. My wife 38mm SS will be here tomorrow. I am really happy about this because I want to surprise her for Mother's Day. My 42mm SS is still in processing mode though, hopefully I will see some movement on it sooner than June.
So I got my watch today around 2PM finally!. Pairing was kinda weird, I didn't quite get the concept of aligning the watch with the camera on the iPhone so I just used the manual pair with the pin method which was quick and worked just fine. I have actually used Siri on it to reply to a text message and made a phone call with it. It was pretty cool. Haven't played with it much otherwise but happy with it so far. Initially I was going for the 38MM but I'm glad I ended went ahead and ordered the 42MM instead after I read an article on this site. I went to the store and looked at both during the try on appointment the day after ordering. The 42MM is not big at all, I actually don't like huge watches but I think for most people you will want to go with the 42MM anyway. I think even for the ladies the 42MM is a good size. BTW Hello cuties!

Changed to Delivers June 1 - June 12 a couple days ago.
Just saw that I was charged last night.
Status changed to preparing for shipment.

Ooh
I ordered on 4/27. Mine changed from "June" to "June 1 - June 12" last week, hopefully it ships too.Ooh
It was almost 72 hours before mine changed to "Preparing for shipment"
Here's hoping you get yours soon.
Ooh
I ordered 4/21 and mine still just states "Ships in June"
You were a little late in the game and ordered the most popular combination I was sort of on the same boat that almost sank. But hang in there, likely next week you will have some good news. In the Interim if you haven't done already, access the Apple Order status page and talk to Apple via the Chat ask them to ensure all is well with your order and tell them you know other people who ordered the same watch after you but have already received it blah blah. No need to be harsh but give them some lip bark a little. And if you haven't already done so go on the Apple Watch Feedback page and tell them the same, don't forget to include your order number.

I ordered my apple watch SG 42mm on Sunday 4/12/15. I have no idea when it we come and I'm starting to get impatient. Any one have any ideas of when I should get to the preparing to ship time?
I order the same watch on 4/11/2015. Still showing June. I sent Apple an email today via their feedback page. I have no illusions that it will accomplish much, but it did make me feel better. Not much though.
My biggest complaint is the lack of communication from apple. It's completely unacceptable to wait over a month and hear nothing.
I think it's time to admit you screwed the pooch on this one, and perhaps a note of apology to folks that pre-ordered is in order.

Ya this pre order is a total joke. I'm getting so impatient. Please let me know when you get the preparing to ship stage.
My order just moved to preparing for shipment.

I actually feel the same way. I ordered the morning of the 11th as well and the wait is what it is but what's really bothered me is for over a month I haven't heard anything from Apple.
I got an order confirmation email immediately following the order and since then complete radio silence. It's as if I never placed an order at all. No email stating we're working on your order; no text that I'm in a cue, no phone call from any rep that my order is being processed. It's very odd. Over a month and the only communication has been started by me. I'm not saying to babysit us but if you're going to have us wait 2 months for a product some sort of dialogue from the company would be nice...
Preparing for Shipment
I ordered at 3:11 AM on April 10th. 42MM Sport Space Gray Aluminum. Last night at 10:01 PM my card was charged. About 30 minutes later my order status became "Preparing for Shipment". Hopefully it arrives today and the system is just backed up.
