Mine went to PFS but the delivery status was only bumped up one day and it still says "available to ship 2-3 weeks".

Now that we're over the weekend hump where things don't move as quickly, I think a PFS today will likely mean by the end of this week or probably sooner. When my shipped, it still said 06/04-06/08 the entire time.

Do they change statuses to PFS throughout the week or is there a certain day most of them chance?

Mine did the same. It went to PFS last night but still says 1-2 weeks with shipping being 2-3 days. I'm thinking by Thursday/Friday, we'll have our watches (as long as we get shipping info within the next few hours).
 
My stainless steel with Milanese band went from "Processing" to "Preparing for Shipment" on Saturday morning. This morning I woke up to a "Shipped" status and an email from Apple promising delivery on Wednesday (06/03).

My original "delivers by" date was 06/22-06/29.
 
I originally placed a order on the morning preorders were being taken. I cancelled the order a week so later after I talked myself out of the purchase. Well I decided to purchase a 38mm sport space gray yesterday. My conformation email says "Available to ship: 1-2 weeks" "Delivers: Jun 15 - Jun 22. Decided to check the status this morning on Apples website and it says, "Available to ship: 5-7 Business days" "Delivers: Jun 15 - 17." Hopefully that will get bumped up!

When did you order?
 
42mm SG BSB ordered on 4-21, charge and shipped. Delivery end of day Wednesday June 3rd.

Same here except that I ordered 4/11.

This has been a learning experience for me... my first and last apple pre-order.
Apple really screwed the pooch with this one.

This has definitely been my worst pre-order experience. I have pre-ordered multiple iPhones and iPads. However, I always ordered early enough to get mine on the launch day. After I got my item, I never really paid attention to how the rest of the orders went. Maybe they have all been like this; I don't know.
 
Is there a location listed beside "Waiting for UPS"?

If it's in a warehouse in the US, then, yeah, they can pick it up and have it to you the next day. China would be pretty unlikely.

A location is not given. I believe it is already in the U.S. because, according to the serial number, it was made two+ weeks ago. I think (despite it being a 42mm SG BSB) that Apple has a stockpile somewhere and that it is probably shipping from there. I think they have to give it to UPS by noon for next day air.

One thing you may want to check - take a look at the online store and see what the current ETA is for new orders for your watch. If it says 2-3 weeks, then it's likely in stock.

Hm, mine has changed status to 'Exception - At warehouse - Delayed at export awaiting release from customs.' in Shanghai, CN. UPS is still quoting a scheduled delivery date of tomorrow, though. If they're going to keep that timetable they had better be clearing them through customs from onboard the plane! :p

I ordered a 42mm SG BSB on April 29th at 11:36am. Shipping to MI, US. I looked on Apple's site and for the same watch they are available 2-3 weeks. I now have available to ship: 7-10 business days, and delivers: 12 Jun, 2015 - 17 Jun, 2015 by Standard Shipping.

One more thing. The serial number lookup shows you when the internal module for the watch was manufactured....not when the watch was assembled.
 
From the looks of it, 42mm SG BSB orders placed between 28th April and first (or second) week of May have a 12 Jun, 2015 to 17 Jun, 2015 delivery period. So that's the next wave then.

The Iphone 6 and 6+, especially the 6+ 128GB Space Gray took forever.
 
I'm sure some of you have posted on this...but I can't find it...

I just got charged for AppleCare+ on a couple watches that I ordered May 12/13...is that an indicator that my watches will be shipping soon? What is anyone else's experience?
 
I wonder if they made a mass shipment of watches that once they get to the U.S. Will be opened and sorted and that is why I don't have any tracking information besides "ready for UPS"

None of us here have enough knowledge of Apple's logistics to really say precisely what is happening with your watch. We can only guess based on what we've seen thus far. Your watch shipping to you is imminent. I wouldn't worry about it. If UPS misses your delivery date, you can call up Apple and they'll likely give you a credit at the store for your troubles. (think they normally give out like $50 - that'll buy you a sport band) :)
