It makes total sense that the charger cables are preparing to ship. Those always had a shipping estimate a few days before the watches. I see it as a great sign.
 
I'll wear it around my neck and spark the smart necklace trend which will be the next big wearable.

I personally can't wait until Apple announce the iRing this summer as a companion to the Apple Watch. Then i can have all the iBling, and not at all look like a iWank
 
Me too, although i am half expecting my boss to shout at me after a while for looking at it too much.

He still uses a Motorola RAZR, that kind of says it all really.

Haha. A demo loop would actually be quite cool to show it off. Press a combination of buttons and you could put it on their wrist so they experienced the taptic engine etc.

Although, if it arrives Friday, no way it's leaving my wrist. Lol

Yeah, that way if we don't get our phones on launch then we can be happy we at least get to enjoy our extra cables. Preparing for shipment isn't surprising for the cables with the shipping quoted from the beginning is it?

A great sign of "Doh. Cables are the same for everyone and don't have a watch attached".

Guess what. You can order a new Lightning Cable today which will fit the iPhone 6s. Doesn't mean it'll ship sooner.
 
My two cents after reading this thread all day and chatting with rep:

Based on the workshop dates listed in your area (my area has first workshop Sunday, 26th), the first batch of orders should arrive just before that.

I ordered at 2:05 central, so 4 minutes after first order. I expect I will get mine Friday or Saturday.

Rep said that early orderers like me "will be happy."

Not too worried.

So since us early orderers "will be happy" and my local  store has Apple Watch Basics workshop appointments starting as early as 10:15AM on launch day that request you bring your iPhone and Watch... Basically I'm going to sleep well tonight.

My Applecare + order says "Dispatched: Automatically registered", but my 42mm Sport with black band still says "Processing Items Delivery: 24/4-8/5 by Standard Shipping".

Also, I still can't view my order using the Apple Store app on my phone.

I haven't been able to since I placed the order, but I presumed that was simply down to traffic, but I see lots of posts from people that can view using the app:
