You can now officially say, and say proudly, "my Apple Watch arrives next week" ;)
 
We CAN say we are in the first shipment group and will be among the first non singing stars to get one. :D

I do hope that my watch comes before my sports band. I got my iPad cover before my iPad by a couple of days which made me crazy.

So that nothing held up my deliveries I ordered my watch, my wife's watch and our two sports bands on three separate orders. Damn now that I'm thinking about it I should have ordered each sport band separately as well. Lol
 
I'm in that window, but I'm expecting that I'll get my watch towards the end of the window. I expect it will be shipped on the 24th, but not from within Australia.

I ordered something else from the Apple store on Saturday. It shipped today (Monday 13th), but expected delivery is not until the 27th.
 
I'm not worried. Picked the Green Sport -- think I'll have it on the 24th since it lasted the longest in its class.
 
I'd just like to get it before the 2nd week of May - want to wear it to a Microsoft convention I'm attending ;)
 
This is my first pre-order, how many days before it ships will it usually change to "preparing for shipment"?
 
If you got a delivery date of 4/24 - 5/8 you/I should receive them on the 24th. Unless Apple does something so different than they ever have we will get these on release day. That being said I won't say I'm getting my watch next week until this coming Friday. Anything more than 7 days does not seem like next week to me.

Like 1 or 2 days before.
