Ordered 42mm SG Sport on 4/23, delivers tomorrow ... finally! This is a very good week for toys, my 15" rMBP came in yesterday :cool:
 
When did yours go to preparing for shipment?
About this time yesterday ... Apple Pay on my iPhone alerted the Amex charge going through so I checked the status (for about the 3rd time that day) and it was "Preparing for Shipment".
 
Well going to bed soon, hopefully we see movement by morning. Seemed to be a slow day today.
 
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.

That's exactly why I don't understand how Apple is doing this "roll-out." You should get your watch before me for sure.
 
A bit of UPS advice: if you want to change the delivery address, do it with Apple before your order goes into "Preparing for Shipment". I wasn't sure where I'd be back when I ordered it, so I just had it set for my home, but now that I got surprised with a "Shipped" notice and see that it's coming Monday, I decided it would be best to get it at work. So... I went to the UPS page only to find out they do not allow you to change addresses until after the first delivery attempt is made, unless you join their UPC Choice (?) program or whatever. So I registered, then went to change it, only to find out that Apple only allows address changes to a "neighbor" meaning that the new location must be "walking distance" from the original destination. So, no work delivery for me. My next best bet was setting it to be delivered to a UPS Store near my place, so I did that, but it adds a day to my delivery estimate. Least worst option compared to dealing with "we missed you" slips, I guess.

Ill keep this in mind. unfortunately id have to actually have apple first charge, then ship my item to me before i can even think about doing this.. It seems that they are taking their sweet time.

SSLB 42mm ordered April 25th

Just went Prepared for Shipment

Money has been deducted and processing at my bank

So close, boys and girls!!!
 
Well I was just charged for one of my sport orders. Blue or Pink, not sure but what ever one it is I'm canceling the other one and doing a band swap. My girl friends birthday gift may actually make it.
 
Just got charged this second literally for my 42 mm space grey bsb ordered on April 29th around 1 pm. Woo hoo!

From yesterday afternoon until this afternoon I had a similar message, except "Delivers 11 June, 2015 -16 June, 2015". Then magically it changed from "Preparing for Shipment" to "Shipped" and the email I received indicated delivery will be tomorrow. I'm in northern Cali and it is coming from down south (Ontario, CA) so a very quick delivery. So perhaps your "Delivers 15 June" will come quite a bit sooner.

I'm actually quite sure that it will be here very soon. I don't think I read on the forums that once the item went PFS that they kept it on hold till the delivery estimate. They seem to ship it out shortly after PFS and over night it. *crossing fingers* that happens for me as well.

My PSB ordered on May 20 went to PFS overnight. Still June 8-June 15 delivery window. Credit card authorized for entire amount. It isn't showing up in my Apple Support Profile yet though.

“The response to Apple Watch has surpassed our expectations in every way, and we are thrilled to bring it to more customers around the world,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s senior vice president of Operations. “We’re also making great progress with the backlog of Apple Watch orders, and we thank our customers for their patience. All orders placed through May, with the sole exception of Apple Watch 42 mm Space Black Stainless Steel with Space Black Link Bracelet, will ship to customers within two weeks. At that time, we’ll also begin selling some models in our Apple Retail Stores.”


This is at least some communication from Apple. Glad to see this

I'm happy to see your watch went PFS!
 
After frustration yesterday...all my orders have shipped and are expected either tomorrow or Monday. Crazy! I ordered May 12 & 15.
 
I know the sport band models (specifically the white sports bands) are shipping faster then the other bands/watch combos.
Not true, my 38 MM AWS WSB has been sitting in processing for almost 2 weeks. People who order the blue are getting them in 2 days. I am not pleased.
