Just received a 42 mm Sport Watch with White Band. It has been ordered the 10th of April around 8 PM UTC+1 (France) and its shipment estimation was June.
 
We got my wife's 38mm white sport last night. She was super surprised - didn't tell her I ordered it :)

Mine (42mm space grey sport) is still set at 'processing - June'
 
Ordered the 38mm blue sport yesterday, got a preparing for shipment this morning, it was actually an apple support employee who called me to say lucky mister!

I am planning on waiting for the white 42mm instead.
 
How is that even possible? I also ordered what you ordered on the same day and I still have the June date. I also live in the UK.

Not sure how they manage the queues, I've bought dozens of :apple: products since the iPod 3rd Gen so maybe they're rewarding loyalty, developer too but I never got the queue jump dev email.

How is yours shipping so fast? I ordered 2 days before you and mine is not even preparing for shipment, I live in the U.S.

At this point I wouldn't bother investigating with who, where or why... I'm sure Apple has a certain way of fulfilling these orders that customers aren't aware of. As long as the orders that are in your window is going it can add optimism to the fact your order could possible be next.

I honestly just want to get mine before I leave town on the 2nd week of May, I'll be happy.
 
Ordered 13th April
Space Grey Sport 42mm Black Band
Dispatched: June

Ordered 27th April
Silver Sport 42mm White Band
Dispatched: 29 April, Delivery due today!

So ordering a silver a full two weeks after the grey and it's delivered within 3 days, glad I tried. Now I just need to decide whether to cancel the Grey or keep it there and see if anyone wants my place in the queue


That's amazing. I ordered the exact same watch on the 27th. I'm 'Processing'. I wonder how they decide where to send which watch ?

In any case, congrats.
 
I ordered the 42mm Stainless Steel with the White Sport Band on April 13th roughly around 2 pm EST with an estimate ship date of June, and so far, no movement at all.

I've never gotten a definite answer before... Is 42 ss wsb or 42 ss milaneseshippomg faster than 42 ss bsb? Can someone confirm this please.

Good luck everyone, I'm off to play!

As I jsut quoted. I'm interested in this too. Would like to see my black band and WSB 42mm come in on the same day.

Been wearing my GF's 38mm WSB and the size is growing on me so I expect the 42mm will look huge to me for awhile haha.
 
My order just changed on Monday to "Available to ship: 3 - 5 weeks
Delivers: May 21 - Jun 4 by Standard Shipping". I'm hoping that it arrives sooner. :D

My 4/13 SS BSB is still processing with a June date.

My 4/24 Sport Blue Band is still processing with a May 14 - May 21 date

I expect my sport to ship any day now. Which sux, because I want the other one. The sport is my test watch.
 
When I do finally get my SG 42mm Sport, I cant wait to show that bad-boy off! I HATE waiting but the fact everybody wants one and that they are hard to get makes it worth the wait when it's finally in my hands. I will not settle for another watch, I want the SG 42mm Sport God-darn it!!! LOL #[/QUOTEi am waiting myself !!!!!!!

Ugh I really hope that my blue sport band ships out soon too. I actually ordered the same day and got the same delivery times. Really want it to ship any day and get here sometime next week. That would be ideal!

I've got the same shipment date for the same model arriving in El Paso. I also gotta 42mm SG model due to arrive in Fort Worth yet it's still stuck in June however someone had their order changed from June to May 29-Jun 11, so... I'm hoping to get that window for the 42mm. I think both 38mm & 42mm will ship in May, hopefully.
 
Stuck in processing limbo

I ordered a 42mm SA white sports band at 3:04 a.m. EDT April 10 and received it April 24. But given Apple's complete screw up of the preorder process for Apple Watch, I sold that one for some extra cash so I could move up to a better watch.

I ordered a 42mm SS white sports band watch on 4/22 with a June ship date and I'm still processing.

I ordered a second 42mm SA white sports band watch on 4/28 with a June ship date just to see if it would beat the SS one I bought a week earlier. That's still processing.

I guess I have no reason to complain, I already received a watch and sold it, but I find it fascinating to stew in this preorder purgatory for as long as two months. What a train wreck for Apple! If I wait too long I may just decide to cancel both of my orders and wait for Apple Watch 2.

My 42 mm sport sg one that i ordered on 4/13 still had a june delivery date as did the white band ss one i ordered on 4/24. Blue :apple: watch sport I ordered on 4/24 was charged and status changed to preparing for shipment by the time I woke up today at 7:30 am MT.
 
Indeed. And a train wreck entirely of Apple's making.

I kind of wish they still had a fuming CEO like Steve Jobs around to flatten the executives responsible for this debacle. Tim Cook seems to have a softer touch. Hopefully someone at Apple Inc. is learning a lot from this clear failure. Not their finest hour.

Damnit!!! I really hope mine is close to shipping, as I said above I ordered mine the same day. Just kinda tired of waiting bc I have a SG sport preordered since 4/10 and its dates are May 29- June 11.

But congrats on recieving a shipping notification!

Thanks! And FYI, I received the email thanking me for the order on 4/24 at 8:40 am. So a one week turn around from ordering to receiving it - assuming it is delivered tomorrow.
