That's an assumption on you part and by no means guaranteed. It may well get it on launch but what is more likely you will get it some time in that delivery period or it could also be possible those delivery dates might slip further.
Watch sport with blue band at 3:02 am ET with April 24-May 8 shipping.
42mm/Sport/Space Grey/Black Band - ordered at 3:04am with shipping scheduled May 13-May 27. I'm hopeful I'll receive it sooner.
42mm Apple Watch Sport Space Grey with Black Sport Band. Confirmation email received at 3:04am. Delivers 4/24 - 5/8.
Set my alarm for 1:57am central time. Got into the Apple Store app to order at about 2:02am. Had my 2 set as favorites, but didn't use Apple Pay. Went to order one and then the other, but realized that I couldn't add 2 to a cart and had to do them individually. So here are my results:
42mm Space Black SS Apple Watch with black link band - 4-6 weeks/5.13-5.27 - confirmation email at 2:03am
38 mm SS Apple Watch with Soft Pink Modern Buckle, Medium - 4-6 weeks/5.13-5.27 - confirmation email at 2:04am
Hoping that these times improve, just like the rest of you!

Yep, almost makes me feel like I won the lottery (back up).
Seriously, I agree. I ordered mine about 3:03 am EST(give or take a minute or two) and ended up with the second (May 13 - May 27) window.
I always try to look at any given situation on the brighter side.
I had my iMac with Safari running (constantly refreshing the page).
My iPad running the Apple Store App
And my iPhone running the Apple Store App
All were devices were lined up and primed. The App (on my iPhone I think) was the first to load.
Even though I didn't come in first place (with the first delivery window) I'm thrilled about not having to wait till June or even later.
Someone said 'keep me posted' so here goes. I went to the Apple Store earlier than the appointment. Tried on the 38 and the 42 sport edition. No point trying on the SS as there is NO way I'm paying the extra $200.
The strange thing is that the 42 'seems' to fit my 155mm wrist better than the 38, BUT when I tool a picture of both, the 42 looked ridiculous. I'm not sure why that is. Maybe lack of sleep messed up my eyes?
Anyway, I have a 42 on pre-order as well with a June delivery. I don't know if I can wait that long, so I may end up keeping the 38.
As you can see from the pics, the 42mm looks like a calculator is strapped to my arm, yet in person...not so bad.

Got up at 2 AM central time and for what?
I got up at 2 A.M Central time to be sure to get my order in right away and my delivery date is in June yet I see people who ordered hours later have the same delivery date so why did I even bother?? When I first checked out it was talking about late April to early May and then wham it all changed. Anybody else regret getting up?

WOW that 42mm looks HUGE! On other pics it doesn't look that way. May I ask your stature? Are you a bigger guy?

Said this in another forum I'm somewhat teed off....
Set my iPhone alarm for 1:55 CST and my alarm never went off...
Ordered at 6AM EST and June shipping date for 42mm all black sport
Ordering for me went perfectly. Up at 2:45 and ready with my iPhone, iPad and iMac as backup. Ordered via iPad Apple App around 3:01 with three separate orders. First myself, a 42mm SS w/ black classic buckle & AppleCare. Next up wife's 38mm SS w/ Milanese loop & AppleCare. Lastly a white sport band for me and pink for the wife. Both watches 4/24 - 5/8 delivery and bands generic May delivery date.
Honestly I can see watches being in short supply but bands too, really?

Ordered a rMB 4/22 Delivery, Apple Watch SS Milanese Loop 4/24 - 5/8 Delivery
Stone Band after I saw it in the store. It was the best looking. It arrives mid may.
The 38mm watch is WAAAAAAY too small. It's really a watch for a woman TBQH or a guy with seriously small wrists. The bands are way to big for it. They need some smaller bands that would be more appropriate for a woman or someone with a small wrist.
