Apple Watch Pre-Order Delivery Estimates Continue to Improve for Many Customers

Ordered 42mm Space Gray on 4/10 @ 12:05am. Got 4-6 week delivery window, May 13-27.

As of 4/27 @ 11:20am, still "Processing Items"

Guess I'm not considered one of Apple's "many customers." :mad:
 
mine ordered late, seeing bump in times

i ordered 2 watches april 22nd, both said June,...now the 38 mm white says 3-5 week. hope the other one improves too!

What are the seconds on your orders? I've got one at :05:46, but judging by what you two are seeing they are just starting to work through the orders in the :05 block.
 
42mm Space Gray Sport with Black Band on 4/14. June delivery.

Still "Processing Items" at this moment. This particular watch seems to of been one of the more popular choices. Stay strong everyone!
 
Just received a shipping notice on my 42mm SS BSB. I ordered at 12:03am. It's arriving next day (tomorrow). It will end up only being 2 business days after "launch day" but it felt like an eternity!

I read in the Apple Watch forum that it doesn't matter what second you have, but for your curiosity, I received the order confirmation at 12:05:38 AM PDT.

Wow.

I dont even think it's worth the effort to continue this debate. To think that apple would sell a watch on launch with absolutely zero inventory is bewildering. Possible? Sure. Probable? Very unlikely. You'd have made more sense if you suggested their inventory was negligible.

apple is no kickstarter project. Making a few dozen or a few hundred would have been negligible risk.

Sorry, but unless apple outright says they had zero manufactured, you not knowing anyone whose received one Isnt convincing enough.

Has anyone received one with the soft pink modern buckle where availability started at 4-6 weeks and quickly went to June, then July?

Yeah, just curious, I don't fully trust the email trick since 1) it's email, so you're relying on the timestamp on the mail servers rather than the ones processing the orders, and 2) I actually completed both of my orders at :04 but didn't get confirmations until :05 and :07.

Was slightly worried that my wife's watch wasn't going to go through since the email took longer to come in. But at least the email times give a rough baseline to compare processing speeds.
 
I ordered a SGS BSB and got an email confirmation at 02:04 AM CST. My card was charged yesterday and just got a notification this morning that it will ship today and arrive tomorrow. I'm one of the lucky few and this whole process has been weird from the start.
 
Mine is still the same "Delivers: May 13 - May 27" for the Black 38mm Sport.

The time for my 38mm Milanaise ordered yesterday improved to 9 May, 2015 - 27 May, 2015 today.

But my 42mm Sport black is still on June.

Hope that means that my 38mm SS Milanese ordered on the 10th comes earlier. My original delivery is May 13-27 and hasn't changed...

Still processing...
 
I ordered mine about midnight on April 24th.

It just moved from June to May 14-20.

42mm Sport w/White Band.

Hang in there, I ordered same thing but 38mm and at 12:03a.m. but had same notice as you until yesterday and now it's arriving here tomorrow. You will get yours by end of week I bet. UPS didn't have any info on my first one until 24 hours before it arrived...

I ordered the exact same model at the exact same time and I'm still "Processing Items" as well. What annoys me is the fact that Apple Pay messed up (Shipping Address said OH and Billing said Ohio) so that tiny screw up pushed my delivery from launch week to 4-6. Apple Pay has been working flawlessly before then.
I was hoping to maybe get mine this week but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

I ordered space gray 42mm on friday 4/24 and got shipping notification today. expected to wait until june or july...their order processing must be way out of whack!
Click to expand...

Wait... is that a typo? Did you really order your 42mm space gray sport watch last Friday and it's now shipping?

Wow. I'd say something's screwed up in the ordering process.

How in the world can that be? Can you post a screenshot of your order date and shipment status?

Agreed, something doesn't seem right about this.

No sign of my order being moved up: SG 42mm Black Sports band. I am guessing these were a very popular choice.. I am based in UK, maybe this story of improving shipping dates isn't relevant on this side of the pond..
Click to expand...

Same story in Oz for the same watch. Others getting shipped today though so I think it is combination specific...
 
I actually just received an email this morning informing me that my shipping estimate has been narrowed down from May 15-28 to May 20-28, so technically, rather than improving, it's actually slipped slightly.
 
apple pay

With apple pay do you get charged right away.. Ordered a blue sport watch was charged right away for the whole amount

that's fine, please find a person anywhere that received a space black watch with link bracelet on launch day. also please explain why that particular watch started out with a 4-6 week ship estimate instead of 4-24-15. if you want to try to convince us of your belief you must make a better argument other than "it's apple".

i haven't been charged for either of mine yet, one has 3-5 weeks lead time other had june. if you've been charged you are likely to receive your watch in the next few days.

Sweet.. I think its weird that i just ordred mine today and was charged... website still says processing expected delivery June??
 
I just received an email from Apple regarding an order status update. Note that I ordered the 42mm space grey sport about an hour after preorders launched, and I have been bumped from "June" to a specific delivery estimate of May 29-June 11.

Here's what the email says for those who are interested:

Your Apple Watch Sport is expected to ship within the next 4 to 6 weeks.

When your order ships, you will receive a Shipment Notification email with tracking information.

For the most up-to-date information about your order, please visit online Order Status.

Thank you for choosing Apple.

Sincerely,

Apple Store
