Wow! Gratz guys/gals!

I wasn't sure, I had ordered before the web site was up on the phone app and got the May 13th date. ( SS link Apple Watch is what I ordered. )

You are among the few, the elite! The ones who will actually have a watch on the release day !

:-D

I'm actually in Brazil until May 15th so I'd had it shipped to my parent's house. If I was home I imagine I'd be less than thrilled..

Surprised at that last minute delays by Apple 2 hours before a launch they spent 38 million advertising.
The FanDroid Trolls are going to be filthy drunk on Droid-punch and out in numbers bashing. :O

Yeah. I had to buy my husband a SS w/black sport band and a separate link band to get his watch in the first batch (4/24-5/8) at launch. Funny thing, the link band ships in 2-4 weeks. So, delivery date of 4/29-5/13.

I ordered the 38mm SS Milanese loop for me. First batch. 4/24-5/8.
 
Another 42mm SS classic buckle buyer, I even got SS White band for my wife.
Both of them are Aprl 24th dates.
 
Late orders will move up one

I just cancelled a 38mm SS pink modern buckle (May 13 - May 27) and a 42mm SS classic buckle (4/24-5/8) so if you ordered one of the same and had a later date, you may move up a slot.

Those would have been in addition to two others so this thread definately influenced my decision to cancel rather than accept deliver and maybe keep them for developement or make them available to friends who ordered later.

My thanks to the thread starter and contributors.

From what I understand, that's a good time for the link band version. I wanted the leather loop, but since I was using a gift card (Apple Store on laptop), I had a few seconds between the Apple Store App going live and the website. In that time, I saw shipping on the leather loop was 4-6 weeks and April 24 for the white sport and changed my mind quickly.

Oddly enough, the leather loop on its own ships just a week later than my watch. So I've got SS white sport band coming 4/24 and leather loop coming 4/29, which is about 3 weeks faster than buying it with th watch.
