The email confirmation for my Space Black Stainless Steel pre-order came through at 8:24am BST (12:24am PDT), with a non-specific "June" delivery date. Less than half an hour after pre-orders went live.

Even if I'd got it though twenty minutes earlier, I'd be looking at mid to late May for delivery, given that the Space Black version was one of the various ones that simply was not available for the earlier 24 April - 8 May delivery window, no matter how early people pre-ordered it.
 
I got in right at 2:01 and wanted to order a SB SS with a normal leather loop. After realizing I couldn't I put in an order for a SB SS with link bracelet. Said June right away. I went to apple to try it on and asked if I could exchange the band for a leather and they said yes.

So now I'm eagerly waiting for it!
 
I didn't want to preorder until I actually tried on the watch.. Well I actually did preorder after debating with my wife at 7AM EST. It was too late. I did however try on the watch later that day, the same exact one I preordered, 42mm Black Sport. Unfortunately, I'm a June loser..

Am I the only person who checks the order status on the Apple Store app every damn day hoping for that June shipping estimate to move up? Yes, it's that bad.

You're not the only one. I check Apple's site everyday and every hour, hoping to see my June delivery date change to May. I also peruse the forum for more info and also to bide my time until June........sigh. So far away.....
 
I check every day too.
I'm remaining optimistic that we'll get it in May. Although I can't deny I'm disappointed in how this whole launch played out.
 
Man, I love my Apple products but I really think they screwed the pooch on this release.

I was on the Store app as soon as it came up, had the SS SB watch favorited but forgot I needed to update the credit card address which took a minute or two. By the time I payed with Apple Pay it was about 12:05. My confirmation email is dated 12:06 and... June. I couldn't believe it. I felt a little better knowing that no one was getting a SS SB earlier than mid May but still, I'm not very happy that I didn't even get in the first round of shipments.

I will be a little miffed if I see them becoming available in the retail store before I get mine. Maybe even a little pissed.

It seems to me that Apple has a full schedule of releases this year with a new Apple TV and the 6s. My thought is that they wanted to get the watch release out before WWDC to not step on those releases. I feel like they went ahead with the watch release because they knew they could get the Sport out with some volume even if it meant they weren't ready to ship other limited models such as the SS SB.
 
June is just a very conservative estimate. A lot of those orders will end up shipping in May, I wouldn't worry. Some of those I imagine will still get them on launch day.

I have a 38mm coming May 13-27, but a 42mm in June. I really want the 42mm, but I'm not sure I want to wait that long.

155mm wrist size. Some say the 38mm looks just right, but I'm not convinced.
 
Late June

I pre-ordered on Tuesday Night, April 14. I got a "June" notification. Since I'm probably hundreds of thousands of orders after the folks who ordered on April 10, I suspect that you folks will get yours before June. I'm probably going to be a real "June" delivery though.
 
Ordered at 3:04am. My shopping estimate is June for the 42mm Space Black SS Apple Watch. At least my White Sport Band will arrive in May :p
 
So I ordered the 38mm SS Classic Buckle. I went to the apple store because I bought some beats headphones to pick up. I was super confident on my order but I tried on the watch anyway. I was like *sigh :( - I asked to try on the 42mm SS Milanese loop and I was like *sigh :). So I cancelled my may delivery order of the 38mm classic buckle and ordered the 42mm Milanese loop.

I'm glad I did because I really didn't like the classic buckle at all. Just the wait until June thing now bleh...

I had originally preordered the SS Watch at like 3:04a EST, but in 38mm. But then when trying it on at the Apple Store later that day came to the sad realization that it's too small for me. So now I'm stuck with a June delivery date.

Oh well. I know with iPhone 6 orders last year people who missed the first initial wave of phones were given dates like November, but then those orders actually moved up so much that they received their order 2 or 3 days past release day.

I'm hoping the same might happen here, but not counting on it as this is a new product and I'm pretty sure they can't ramp up in the same way.

But who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I ordered the SS Space Black 42mm at 3:04am EST and got June delivery, so don't feel like you missed out on anything.
 
I have ordered the 42mm space grey sport with the estimated date of 24/4-8/5. And I decided to order extra milanese loop after the try on in store. However, the estimated date of the delivery of that band is now June. I still ordered it but hoping to arrive earlier.

Or else, if the band is available in store, I will cancel order and get it as soon as possible. Not sure if this happen!

i ordered about 2.5 hours after opening and received a June date

at the store yesterday, the guy told me it will likely be earlier, but who knows if he has any idea

We all know that "the guy" has no idea.

Part of sales is telling the customer what they want to hear.
Obviously, he was sensing your desire to hear that you'd get it sooner.

There is a zero percent chance that some random peon you talked to is privy to Apple Watch ordering estimates vs actual physical delivery dates, lol.

You're right. The 38mm is really small because I thought the 42mm was small compared to pics I've seen online.
