Apple Watch Pre-Order Shipping Estimates Slipping Rapidly to 4-6 Weeks or Later

Ordered a 38mm Milanese yesterday (4/11) around 2:30pm PDT - has a delivery date of mid May...

Went in store today to get my first visual of them in person, mainly just to check that I didn't want to cancel my order as I had jumped the gun.

Gotta say they're not as thick as I thought! But if there is one thing I noticed for sure, they are real small.. I thought the 42mm was the 38, maybe for women the 38 will be better suited as it's tiny so I guess it could be more elegant? But yeah definitely reassured now I went for the 42 so that I can fit two fingers on the screen.

You've got to be ridiculously rich to be able to throw that much money into the Edition, the real estate size is just to small to be priced at that tier band in the 'watch market/industry' I'd rather pick up a Breitling or Rolex made from gold.

They [the Verge] seem to be the only bad review. Personally I can't wait to mine is shipped!

Nilay Patel (of the Verge) does seem to have one of the most negative reviews (even though they gave it a 7 out of 10 and said it was the best smartwatch to date). I'm anxious to get the watch and start forming my own opinions.

There was a blog that poked a little fun at Nilay Patel's fashion sense and he had a Twitter temper tantrum (see this thread for details).
