Apple Watch Pre-Orders Now Shipping for April 24 Delivery
Oh... I only ordered two in total,sorry My 42mm SS with classic leather buckle and the 38mm SS with modern buckle for the fiancée. Hers is a surprise though
I did order two white sport bands. One for her and one for me. I workout 5 days a week,so it'll be nice to put that band on before the gym. Haha! I'm the exact opposite. I do 60 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of LIGHT weights. Lol
I'm also very excited about the fitness portion of the watch. I'd like to see my daily step count (before the treadmill) too.

I ordered 42mm SG BSB at :03 of the 10th.
I received the “We are working on your order” email yesterday.
Just today, at 2:00pm EST, I had my card charged (Apple Pay).
I received the shipment notification and tracking number at 5:00pm. It's scheduled to deliver tomorrow in Michigan.

Nada
I have a whole lot of nada to report.
42MM Sports Space Gray - Black Band
Ordered opening day using Iphone Store App Minutes after midnight (as soon as the darn site came up after midnight).
Processing May 13-27 Delivery
42MM Stainless Steel - Black Band
Ordered yesterday for sheeets n giggles
Processing June Delivery
No UPS activity, no credit card charges, no apology emails from Apple. This all leads me to believe short supply on black band and I got screwed. I guess there is still some time left but most likely I'm out of luck for tomorrow delivery. I am going to keep the watch that ships first and cancel other one whichever one that may be.

My friend ordered 42 sport white band around 8am ET. He was quoted June but he's somehow been bumped to tomorrow.
Ditto ... was 2:04am CST ... SG BSB 42mm .. Nothing... Nothing at all. utterly annoyed.
Probably will be delayed by a week or two at most I'd say. I mean you will likely get it early May. And hopefully Apple will tell us what the deal is with the black band since it appears to be the cause of a lot of delayed shipments.

They won't tell you anything. The initial delivery window was 2 weeks. There's no delay.
Nice! Seems like white color is not very popular that's why. Nothing wrong with that of course we all have different tastes. Everybody else seems to want black.

Shipping Underway
Ordered a 42SS w/ White Sport Band.
Apple Order Tracking: Processing
Credit Card: Temporary Auth
UPS: Package Notification for Tomorrow (But tracking says they haven't received the package)
Edit: Almost forgot - ordered off website at 12:13 EST (after the site came available about 5-7 minutes after midnight for me I had to enter in 6 apple gift card codes which took a while)
Optimistic I'll get it tomorrow but not getting my hopes up too much given UPS hasn't gotten the item yet this late.. we'll see.

You mean the normal delivery date for first wave of orders was two weeks after launch day? Don't think so.

Why not just get different bands instead of many watches? Each watch has its own memory, etc... so I would expect that it would become a pain to keep them in sync if you used a different one at the gym.
Not yet, not even for May shipments! But on that note there is still time so you never know. Apple has those Chinese folks at the factory working like robots

Very nice thank you!

Nothing here to report! Still Processing with the Delivery 4/24-5/8. Ordered first thing with the early morning preorder. I am in KY and was wondering if anyone else in KY has had any thing coming your way? I ordered the 42MM- The SS- Black Buckle Band. The Black band must be the problem. I too received the email last night that Apple was working on my order. I truly believe I most likely will not receive the watch tomorrow. Congratulations to all those who will receive their Apple Watch on launch!
I still haven't gotten an email from Apple, but UPS finally shows a tracking number! I ordered a 42mm steel with milanese loop at 12:02am 4/10. UPS is showing expected delivery of tomorrow!
Moral of the story -- those of you who have not received a shipping email from Apple yet, go check UPS' website and search for a package using your 10-digit billing phone number as the reference number. That's what finally worked for me.

Woohoo, this just happened.
Ordered 12:03 PT on 4/10
Got the email of death last night
CC charged this morning around 11AM PT
Email from Apple that my watch shipped 3:27PM PT and scheduled to deliver in Los Angeles, CA tomorrow.
People who ordered 42MM SG Black Sport don't lose hope.

I've got three holds for AppleCare+ on the three watches I ordered (two at 3:02, 3:03am EST and one this Monday) that have been there since Monday, the 20th. No movement at all.
It's almost 6 here.. Just no way I'll get it trmw.. Fu Apple for your lame leap frogging. Congrats to those who do!
Yes, I ordered a Sport Watch with June shipment estimate and it will be delivered tomorrow.
re: shipping
Apple clearly stated delivery between 24-Apr to 8-May, that's the two week window. If you don't get it between those dates then you have every right to be pissed, otherwise you're just overreacting..
