First Wave of Apple Watches Begin Shipping Ahead of Friday's Launch

I preordered maybe around 3:04ish. My confirmation email arrived 3:09.
It must be the SS was not being delivered on launch #. I preordered stainless steel with black sport band.
Ordered the same thing at the same time yet mine says "May 13 - May 27" delivery.
I think if you got a pre-authorization charge on your credit card yesterday or today, then you'll be getting a watch on Friday.
Bank account just got hit for my preorder.
I ordered a 38mm SS w/Milanese loop.
Still no change in order status though.
I'm in Oregon.
I'll post again when my order status has changed.

Same here, except I ordered 42mm SS w/ classic black buckle, and I'm in Arizona. But received the CC charge, now endlessly refreshing waiting for my status to change!
Just found this.. Hope its reliable.
Though if youre in the first batch of shipments and are still worried about receiving the Watch closer to May 8, dont. The May date is in there just in case an uncommon occurrence happens. Since the delivery of the smartwatch isnt in Apple's hands, theyd rather promise a later date and have it arrive early than promise an earlier date and have it miss that window. As with most things, its better to under-promise and over-deliver.
No one can say for certain. But one of Apples customer service reps told us if you receive a shipment notification by Tuesday or Wednesday, odds are youll have your Apple Watch by Friday, the April 24.

No, not confirmed. That's why I said "I think".
If the Watch pre-orders are like the iPhone pre-orders, then people who pre-ordered shortly after 3:01AM will be getting theirs starting on Friday.
