Is this an actual date range that the Apple Store website gave you? Was it an initial date, or an updated one?

I ordered back on 4/18 and all I have is a vague "June" as an estimated delivery date.

This is the actual date range that appears on my processing email, as well as my order status with Apple.com

Did you order a 38 or 42?

Same. Ordered two at about 4:20-30a EST on April 10th. (1) 42mm Sport, Silver + White, (1) 42mm Sport, SG + Black.

The Silver one came on April 24th, which was great as it was a gift for the wife. :) Side note: it's super cool, can't wait to get mine.

My SG went from a non-specific delivery in June, to the title of the this thread (05/29 - 06/11) :D

My range is May 21 - June 4.

I ordered a 38 mm Space grey sport on April 26.

I also ordered a Milanese loop to go with it at the same time and that has a shipping estimate of May.

I am in Maryland.

I'm assuming the standalone loop has no date range?

The 38 loop, shipping in 'May' seems one of the faster standalone bands - in terms of arrival, seeing we're in May. I'm hoping this will bode well for my SS38 ML combo, as the size doesn't seem too constrained, in the U.S.

I've been trying to parse earlier delivery threads, mainly the one ending May 26 - and trying to figure out, if a watch bumps forward, to shipping - from order date, by how much...

Has anyone else tried to gauge, how far ahead a certain configuration might move, before the estimate - I've noticed about a week - 13ish days.

Is the 38 ML combo not that popular? Does anyone from an earlier shipment have insight as to whether it moved ahead? Or arrived near the end of the estimate? Anyone else with this combo, in this shipping batch heard anything?

4/18 - 38mm SS Modern Buckle
4/22 - 42mm SS Milanese Loop

The 42 ML combo seems more constrained. All of the 42's do, actually :p

The reason, I believe, I received a date range - I ordered the 38 SS ML - These being in less demand, than 42 - thus, having more supply readily available.

It seems a lot of 4/10 (some later than that) orders, which were in the May 13-27 bracket, began shipping recently. That bodes well, as that'd imply Apple are about 1 week ahead of the first date, of their shipping windows. The people from 4/10, in this window seem to be receiving shipping info, just shy of 3.5 weeks.

I wonder if this will bode well, for our shipping window?

(Depending on whether it's a lesser demanded configuration, or 38mm, of course)

If my analysis of many posts, across many windows and watch configurations + looking at the amount of days on a calendar, form order date - to their shipping post, I'm hoping may of us will receive shipping updates the week of May 18th - May 23rd (some earlier, some later).

Can anyone else infer their analysis?

:p

I agree with your analysis and hope it is true!

This is my same problem, as I ordered the same watch but in 42mm on 4/11 and have the ambiguous June estimate. Chatting with Apple now but they're not having much info to offer on the subject.

Ordered 4/10 evening EST
42 SG Sport
Ohio

Originally got the June date, then moved to this date range within a week or so of ordering. Got the second (but never the first?) EOD at this time as well. No movement since.

I'd be extremely surprised if that happens. At the macro level, the data on this forum (to me at least) says that Apple is even further behind than they admitted, and that the wait is not going down.

Ordered a 38mm Space Grey Black Sport Band Watch on May 3rd. When I ordered it, it showed a time frame of shipping in June. Nothing more. Today (3 days later), I check and it shows that it will be delivered June 1-June 12.
In other words 3-5 weeks. ;)

Does EOD = email of death?
