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

I feel bad for you and those who ordered in April and still don't see your watch. When compared to you guy I really don't have s reason to complain about a wait lol. I just anxious to get my hands on it
 
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
I tried that yesterday when my watch was supposed to arrive, knowing it'd probably deliver after I left for work in the afternoon. It didn't work, they didn't even try to take it to the office, just immediately rescheduled for a second attempt today.
 
So did the charges only make it into the 27th last night? Have we seen any later? I hope they're happening but people are just too busy to post updates.
 
I really don't understand how Apple is doing this. Seems like there's no rhyme or reason.

These are my orders:

May 12: 42mm SS BLL Large (Processing...arrival June 12-17)
May 13: 42mm SS BSB (Processing...arrival June 12-17)
May 15: 42mm SS BCB (SHIPPED...UPS says arriving Friday, Apple says arriving Monday)

HOWEVER, I had ordered a BLL Large and 42mm Silver Link on May 11 and got them this last Monday. So if the loops are arriving as bands...what gives on the processing of the BLL orders?

I may just keep the BLL I ordered and the BCB Watch. I would be frustrated with the way the orders are going out...and have been until one has finally shipped. Seems like it's a lottery!

Hey, be glad that you got the same arrival date for your BLL as someone like me who ordered almost a month before you did on April 19th.

No kidding, it certainly seems like a lottery. Has anyone gotten a 42mm SS medium BLL order filled recently? The latest I saw anyone report was one that ordered on 4/21 and I ordered on 4/22...
 
OK so I have two on order:

42 SGS Ordered 5/17 delivers 6/16-6/18
42 SS Brown LB Ordered 5/29 delivers 6/18-6/22

My question is, is there any SS model that would ship quicker based on past history so far that I should order? I'll cancel the other SS if that one ships earlier and get a band swap (which I'm already gonna do to get the milanese).
 
I really was banking on my girlfriends 38mm Sports PSB to ship fast since it seem all aluminum 38mm ( except for the space grey) were shipping super fast. But doesn't seem like so. Was hoping to hit her June 6th birthday.
 
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.

Yep, I don't have a problem waiting 2-3 weeks at this point. The rumored 8am "check online and reserve - then go to the store" deal won't work for me personally anyway. I'm sitting in traffic at 8am M-F and I would prefer to sleep in on the weekends. If I took a day off, I don't want it to be used to go through a process online, reserve and I MIGHT get a watch..a stock issue may not guarantee it.

And I'll try not to be a neurotic mess of checking the status 5, 6 times a day..I did that with the iPhone 6 plus and it just made the day go 10 times longer. Ok, I say "try" but I can't guarantee that..lol

Well, I was surprised this morning by a "SHIPPED" notification. I ordered a 42 SS Classic Buckle on May 23rd, with an original delivery estimate of July 1-8, revised a few days later to June 16-22, then yesterday it revised to June 16-18, and now this morning it's already shipped with delivery date this coming Monday, June 8th.

The funny thing is I'm still slightly on the fence about whether my desire/need for the watch is equal to the $700 price tag and figured I'd have a month to decide and now it's coming nearly a month earlier than the original estimate. Yikes! I'll have to just wear it for a few days and decide then.

No movement on mine either. Ordered May 20.
 
For anyone who has had theirs shipped, how fast did you move from "Preparing for Shipment" to "Shipped"?

I actually never saw a "preparing for shipment" notice. Late yesterday afternoon my estimate was June 16-18, then this morning I got a Shipped email.

Ordered on the 31st of May SG BSB 42mm, just got bumped up to 18-20th of June delivery window. originally it was 23-29th June. I wonder if it has a chance of getting bumped up again. Have people generally been getting their watches in the delivery window or before?
 
Hi guys and gals, I view macrumors everyday for Apple gossip, but never had the need to sign up. I hope Apple monitors this site in order to improve its service. For me this has been a very frustrating experience, and I don't know if I could repeat it. I was ready to order on April 11 at 6am when I woke up, but found delivery times to be in June instead of the promissed April 24th... I didn't order as I thought my CC would be charged instantly (I have always purchased in Apple store or BB) and I didn't want to pay in advance. Weeks later I found out that they wouldn't charge until it shipped, it would be convenient for Apple to make this very clear for non web experienced buyers. I finally ordered 6 watches on May 19 (for myself and all my family who live in Mexico and can not buy the Watch).
Then the waiting started, thanks to this thread I kept waiting and not canceling.
Apple announced the watch in October last year, then waiting 6 months to order and a month to then receive it is to much. They need to find a better system.
In any event I ordered 3 42mm SS with BCB. They have Shipped and arrive on June 8th, and and 3 Sport with WSB that are Processing and should arrive June 16 - 18. I leave for Mexico on the 15th and hope the Sport arrive a little faster than promised as my next trip to Mexico won't be for 2 more months. I know it has been even worse for many on this list. Tim/Angela, please don't let this mess happen again.

I know the sport band models (specifically the white sports bands) are shipping faster then the other bands/watch combos.
 
Ordered a 42mm black classic buckle on may 28, it shipped (june 3) and will deliver tomorrow.
