The title of the article seems misleading.... They state that the orders have started shipping, but mention they haven't had any reports of statuses changing and are instead using the iPhone 6 launch as the only proof the watches started shipping today...

The "proof" is a reliable source who tells us bulk shipments into the U.S. have begun. Still in the staging process, but we should see movement on order statuses and credit card charges very soon.
 
"according to a source for MacRumors that has provided accurate information in the past."

Probably one of the 50 trolls that have thrown up their first post in the Apple Watch forum. It's become a nightmare in there the past week, and it's only gotten worse.

Just took a look. The amount of people answering 'Which Apple Watch will you be getting?' with 'none - the watch is ugly!' is ridiculous.
 
Of course they are. No inside info needed to predict this.

The only question is which watch models will be arriving by the 24th?
 
Charge my card already!! I don't know why they take so long to take the money, I want it to charge my card already, so that way I can go get my phone replaced. (I used Apple Pay with a debit card, taking extra precaution to not replace the phone until the card gets charged, because a new phone = new Device Account Number).

Excellent! Thank you. I've grown weary of the misinformation floating around on the Apple Watch forum.

I preordered right at 3:00 AM Eastern, right when they became available yet my deliver date is May 13 - May 27.

Did you order a SS Link?

Nobody got an earlier shipping window for those.
 
When I get mine I am sure I won't be alone in being a little sad...

here is why:
1) the anticipation and excitement will be over, the wait for something shiny and new is for me more a high than getting it for me anyway.
2) i'll have to answer...yes its the apple watch at LEAST 200 times for the next few days.
3) i'll come to the realization that I never really needed the watch and my desire was fuelled only by apples marketing and my apple fanboy desires.
