I think that those that are still waiting for a pre-order are unable to get their requested unit but other units are available (not just the same sku) that could be a problem anyway. If I could go into a store and get a SS and even have bands there while people were waiting for their combo that they ordered... 
Well , Going back to my wait for my AWS , maybe they will be in stores by the time we get them

maybe this post pertains to the various 38mm watches that are readily available from Apple.com? The 42mm Space Gray Sport and the SS Black are moving very slowly! I'd hope they fill the pre-orders for these 2 (and many more that are backlogged) before having them in store.
Keep them. Purchased one for myself and wife, got on first week and was easy to realize that it was a waste of money! Not a pro at fitness at all (get a Garmin). Also, if you are the type of person that needs instant notifications on your wrist, then good for you. I think Steve left at the right time, nothing major industry breaking to release to the market left for Apple! not for a while anyways.
In store by end of June ?
Sorry Apple, you should fulfil all your pre-orders first, early if possible
Currently orders are quoted as 5-7 weeks for the watch , that makes it around 3rd week of June as the earliest
My order (mid april) is supposed to be delivered end of June, which after the dates you're currently quoting for the watch model I ordered
very poor showing if pre-orders and existing orders are not going to be delivered before the stores get them

Nice!
I can go pick up my SG Sport at the store, and while I am there, cancel my SG Sport order due to my house late June!

Yeah, I think this is how it went down... (the sarcasm should be dripping by now, please make sure your monitor can handle it...)
Death Angel: Steve, you can stick it out for another 40 years, or come with me.
Steve: I'm just worried that this
Watch roll out will be botched with or without me (cue up U2 singing from The Joshua Tree). I'll go with you.Death Angel: You know, most people take the choice of life, when I offer it up.
Steve: This seems like a better option.
Cook reportedly told employees that the Apple Watch launch "could not be going better,"
I would have to disagree! Ordered 4/10, still waiting.....
Then cancel your order and get on with your life.
Oh wait, there's no way on earth you'd do that. So, for Apple the launch could not be going better. See how that works?
I pretty much use mine as just a plain old watch. I've turned off the majority of the notifications.
Me too. I won't be happy if they sell them in the stores before I get mine at the end of June. Should I cancel my order and buy the watch in the store?
the black one on the right looks pretty good.
I'd like it if I could make all the text orange-yellow like the retro watches.

Something is not right on their queuing system. I ordered the 42mm Apple Watch with link bracelet on April 27th with estimate in "June". Two days ago it updated to delivery by 22-29 June. Funny (not so) thing is that if you order it right now you get 5-6 weeks, which means exactly the same delivery date after I have waited almost a month!. How is it possible?
Cherry on top of this sh * t cake is if watches start being available in stores at the same date or earlier than my 9 weeks wait. Not happy.
For the record: bought and to be delivered to Munich, Germany.

I wouldn't cancel anything until you have the watch of your choice in your hand. Pre-orders may ship earlier than expected and all watch styles may not be available in stores.
