I got stoned and fell asleep watching House of Cards.
Didn't wake up till 2 hours after 12am PST, so I'm not getting the watch till May 20-June 1. Boo.
House of Cards is great though!

Me!!
Updated my phone before I fell asleep. Woke up at 3:36EST on my own, my phone was done updating but asking me to sign into iCloud etc etc so the alarm (multiple alarms actually) never went off###
Space grey 42mm
I spoke with Apple chat just for the heck of it. I almost got them to promise it wouldn't come after June, but other than that CSR had no clue when it would arrive.
Glad my fitbit is still hanging on.

Same story as many of you here. Prepared as much as possible for sizing ("Actual Size" in the Apple Store app, paper cutouts, etc), and everything pointed to the 38mm being the better size. I preordered the 38mm SS with Black sport band at 3:02am EST through the Apple Store app with no issues. I received an estimated delivery date of 4/24-5/8.
Then around 6:30pm EST I went for a try-on at the Apple Store, and discovered that the 42mm was a much better size for me. I called Apple to change my order (in hopes it would somehow help vs. doing it myself) and now I'm stuck with "Available to ship: June".
I really wish they would have opened up try-ons before preorders began. Here's to hoping Apple beats their shipping estimates.

I pre-ordered a 38mm at 3AM and after I tried them on in the store, I ordered a 42mm at noon on the 10th.
Space Gray Sport with black sport band.
Still haven't decided what my plan is. The 42mm looks huge in pictures, but seems just right on my 155mm wrist.
The 38mm will arrive May 13-27, while the 48mm won't ship until June. Depending on when the 42mm actually ships, I may stay with the 38mm.

I was undecided about ordering one and forgot about pre-orders starting at 3:01. That morning I decided I did want the 38 mm SS with pink modern buckle and it was already at June. Fortunately I got it ordered shortly before it changed to July. I tried it on at the store later and am happy with my choice. I hope I get it earlier, but in my case there is no reason to complain if I don't.
42MM space gray sports watch about 14 minutes after sales started (3:14am here on the east coast). Shipping...June. That ruined my evening. Insomnia for the rest of it. 
Mine is June as well. Which is exactly when I will be away on vacation.
Still hoping it gets here before though.

i could have easily woke up at 3am to order my watch and get it on launch day like how i do for my iPhones but this time i wanted to go to the store and try on the watches just to make sure i was happy with the size.
i am stuck with a june delivery but i am hoping to get it much sooner!!!!!

I ordered a SG Sport 38mm and got a 4-6 weeks delivery. Went into store and realised it was too small for me so had to re-order and now got a June date

I hate snooze. I ended up ordering around 22 minutes late and got a June delivery date
Actually, I heard from a very reliable source within the industry that if you ordered a Space Grey Sport model, you should cancel and re-order it. If you re-order within a fast enough window (I believe it's within 5 minutes of canceling), you will be guarenteed a launch day delivery, or maybe even the day before! I recommend that everyone who pre-ordered this model to do so now!!!

What a clever way to bump up your place in line

The first season was amazing, second one ok ... third, meh. I hope the fourth brings it.
I did the exact same thing and mine stayed at April 24 - May 8, so your mileage may vary.
It's a crap shoot.
If Apple sold as many as they claim (very likely) then June or July are most likely.
I always pre-order and have years of experience which has largely proved that later than quoted is not the end of the world.
It's nothing more than just a very_long_ wait.
Really hoping for in-store stock on the 24th at Halifax Shopping Centre so I can cancel my June order...
