In boston for a couple days myself... 4/23 SS BLL Medium.
Currently BLL Medium just band is 2-5 days, and mine...

Frustrated... oh well.
I have the same order as you, but ordered on 4/22. Sitting at ships in 7-10 days since yesterday.
 
Ordered 6/2 42mm SS Milanese loop (6/24 - 6/30) :(. Should have bought it earlier

I'm in the same boat. Long story short. I pre-ordered back on 4/11 with a "June" delivery date, got impatient by mid May - others were getting their watches, I'm sitting twilling my thumbs...so I cancelled.

I never even tried on the darn watch, always a 45min, 1hr wait time - But I finally did about 90 minutes ago at the Apple Store, and actually played with a working non-demo. I couldn't do that the last time i was there.

Now I want it! (Yes I know, I'm an impatient, indecisive mess..it's an exhausting flaw for me..I never learn eck. :confused::( ) I personally liked the 42mm SS Black Sport Band, I see it's 2-3 weeks shipping..like your Milanese)

NOW..here's what I feared, we know Apple retail stores will have them "sometime in June" but I get this feeling on Monday the 9th during the WWDC Tim will praise the watch sales, etc etc. Then announce that the watch will be available in store next Friday morning - June 12th. Just a hunch..who knows. So it's possible people will own a watch with no preordering on that retail launch day...meanwhile we're waiting?

THEN I read how the system could work - Lets say "Retail launch day" is next Friday, well the customer would have to hit the Apple Online Store beginning around 8am each day and check if their local Apple Store has the exact model that they would like to purchase. If the store has the particular version in stock, the customer can reserve it and choose a time to pick it up. Question now comes down to quantity, high demand kicks up again maybe...and quite possibly many won't get what they want in stores, the 42mm Milanese could be sold out for a few days, another week. Either that or first come first serve and camping out all night outside the mall.

And I also think...ok hope. the 6/24 - 6/30 range a little off. I'm actually thinking we could get these watches by the 12th, maybe the 17th...earlier than our expected dates. Seems like the Taptic engine issue has been fixed, and perhaps the extreme initial high demand has been resolved.

Guess well see. Whatever the case, it gives me something to look forward to!

And NO I will not be an impatient moron and cancel again - It hurts to think that if I never cancelled in the first place, I would have had this watch right now! lol Ah well.

I thought the same thing as you. I knew that Apple would sell watches in store this months, but how many or what models. If you show up on launch day and find that they only have stainless steel with black sports band, or classic buckle. The Hassle of checking online every day at 8 is too much. Might as well wait 2-3.

Ordered 4/14, 42mm, SG, BSB
Went through the insane June delivery timeframe nonsense. Was updated three times in one day over the weekend. Got my watch in hand last night at 1800hrs. Finally.
 
I am so disappointed.

I ordered a SS WSB (42mm) on 4/30.

As of last Thursday (almost a week ago), 4/29 orders were charged and shipping. Since then, no movement.

At that point, SS BSB orders were back on like 4/18 or so. That model is now charging/shipping orders from 5/12.

I want everyone to get their watches as quickly as possible and am not mad at anyone, but I am disappointed with Apple.

Why is it taking so long? It's like they've completely stopped shipping the combination that I ordered. :(
 
Ordered my 42 SS BCB on 5/16. Just went to PFS a couple of hours ago. I've been stalking this thread and felt inspired to share what I think is good news for pretty quick order to PFS time.
Anyone willing to share their experience with time from PFS to SHIPPED?
 
Been wearing a 42mm Blue Sport Band all day. I ordered it on the 29th and it arrived the 2nd so i am going to return it while i wait for my SG BSB. Guys i recommend you all do the same just order a blue guy!
 
Ok, so...after flip flopping on buying a watch I pulled the trigger after I found out that I can monitor my iGrill Temperature Probes for my smoker

Ordered 5/19 a 42 Sport Aluminum with WSB...now showing 9-11 days with 6/16-6/18, 2-3 Day Shipping

After reading on the weekend about the BSB's shipping quick I ordered one Sunday.

Ordered 6/1 a 42 Sport Aluminum with BSB...now showing 9-11 days with 6/16-6/18, Stamdard shipping

Well the BSB just got moved to PFS and my card was PreAuth'd.

Ideas on when the BSB will actually ship and be delivered ?

What about the WSB? (Currently NOT PFS)

Change to "blue sport band" and you will get the watch within 3 days.

FYI, I "tracked by reference" on UPS.com using my phone number, and was able to see my scheduled delivery date of end of day Friday.

So it seems Apple is going to take the full amount of time to ship my Apple Watch Sport PSB. I really should have just ordered the blue and did a band swap. At the rate the PSB is shipping I may have my Milanese Loop before the PSB
 
Nice...charged and PFS on 42mm SS Classic Buckle ordered on May 15. How long has it taken for your orders to go from PFS to shipped?

Two other watches still processing:
42mm SS BSB (May 13)
42mm SS BLL (May 12)

Thanks for that...forgot about the reference number...got tracking...will be here by the end of the day Friday.
 
Ordered 42mm bcb on 5/28 , checked status on6/03 and its preparing for shipment. Not a long wait.
 
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!


Just checked the status and it is now preparing for shipment! My delivery date is now Jun 11 - 15. Hopefully it will get bumped some more!

I feel your pain. I ordered a 38 AWS WSB and ive been sitting in processing from the start. have a delivery window of 6/8-6/15 but still says ships within 1-2 weeks, ummmm??? No charge on CC either. Yet, some people ordered theirs a few days ago and got them already. It's just bad customer service.

I knew that when I ordered I would have had to wait but I really was hoping that it would ship a few day to a week earlier than list since that seemed to be the norm for others. I don't mind waiting I'm just excited and wish it wouldn't take the full amount of time given.

Mine was ordered on 4/22 and it's still processing. It's a 42mm SS black leather loop. I'm getting depressed.

So beautiful. I'm supposed to get mine today but it isn't out for delivery yet so we shall see. I also have to hope they will deliver it to my apartment complex manager like they always have with packages. Here's to hoping I come home to my watch rather than having to stress out about figuring out how to get it from UPS
