Yeah 38mm watches ship a lot faster, 42mm actually moved to July on apples website.
Been following but not posting, so here's my info. Ordered 38mm Black Sport on 4/24 late in the afternoon, don't remember the exact time. Original shipping was June, which was then updated to 3-5 weeks (May 21 to June 4) for delivery.Ever since then there has been a hold for the charge on my PayPal account which was just dropped today, so it looks like Apple may be about to actually charge me and ship. Big if though. I'll keep you posted if anything changes!
If the charge drops without changing to preparing to ship, I think that means it was just another hold. Don't think you are in luck...but I hope I'm wrong!
Just need to share my suffering again:

I have posted and have also emailed Tim of which I got a reply and also an email and call from one of his executive people. I am patient and have June processing. It was made clear to me they are working as best they can on getting these orders out and Tim is very interested in making this a good experience. Do you guys/gals not see that ordering many watches hurts others who might have ordered one also? I mean to order many watches and seeing which one gets to you faster seems like it's just making things worse. That's just my two cents. Yes it sucks to have to wait. I'm not happy about it. But I also knew June was the time I would get shipping when I purchased. Yes it's silly they could not get them to us faster. But I feel some are making it worse.
Ha. Personally, I'd like Tim to publicly acknowledge that this has been an absolutely atrocious experience for what increasingly appears to be the majority of Watch cusomters. The right thing to do in these types of situations is to own up to the fact that you screwed up royally. The fact that he and Apple seem completely unwilling to do that has left me with less respect for Tim (and no, saying "we're trying to get supply to match demand" or other vague businessy speak is not the same).
I honestly think people would be far more forgiving of this absurd wait if Apple simply said hey, sorry - we screwed up, this did not go as well as we hoped, we apologize.
Order date: April 17th around 8pm (after apple try on appt)

Same boat here! Cancelled my SG order in favor of the SS on the 29th, and have a "June" date.
The only thing thats giving me hope is that people who pre-ordered on the launch day, only a few minutes after "midnight" got that same "June" window. 19 days later and the window is still "June" means that someone, somewhere, knows that they are going to be able to get through all of those orders within the same 30ish days. AKA - all these orders that have already been showing movement even with the dreaded "June" date give me hope that its going to happen alot sooner, rather than later, for everyone with the "June" date.
Here is to hoping for the best.
I ordered the same watch at noon on the same day (also US). I think we might have another week to wait at least, though of course I'm hoping it gets here sooner.

Well being one of the people who've ordered multiple watches to see which ships first, I agree that it essentially "inflates the wait" for other people, but the fact that I will promptly cancel my two non-shipping orders means that two people will get their order even sooner than they'd expected. I don't see much of a problem with this... Certainly, however, things are made worse if a person takes delivery of the first watch they ordered, uses it for two weeks while they're waiting for the others to appear, then returns one or more of these watches -- this is much worse because it takes these new watches out of the supply chain and turns them into refurbs.
People who ordered 20 minutes into the pre-order had been given June quote times and are starting to see their orders come through, so I am hopeful that orders that were placed late in the game (mine is a 4/29 as well) are going to be moved up in line rather quickly.
If they already started chipping away at "June" orders...then hypothetically...they should be able to get through all of them in the next 30 days...which puts us all in the "May" category. At least thats my very logical thinking about how a month of orders should be processed. But I could be VERY wrong.
I waited and bit the bullet yesterday. Now I have til July to decide if I want it since that's when it'll ship. July. -__-
as pointless as it seems given my order time here it is anyway:

while this is definitely possible ive definitely seen a clear trend of people getting their watches 2 weeks earlier than the est date. I'm pretty sure its from the first date but dont quote me on that. so absolutely ideally if the 38mm white sports are as quick as some have said we could see movement on mon., maybe im just hoping too hard, but i've been cautiously expecting movement sometime b/w now and this friday (which follows the 2 weeks early trend). keep the forum updated as i have the same dates as you!!

So you ordered release day at 5 and you have bumped to 5/29-6/11? Wtf so what are the chances for us 19 days down to get a June shipping window? Like I said, the dates doesn't make sense. Either they have a massive production going on that we're not aware of.
Mine is at my local UPS and is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I'm looking forward to tomorrow!
Originally started off as a June delivery for my white sport watch 42mm. Last week it said delivers by the 23rd of May. Which was better than June. This week it went from delivers by May 23rd, to May 20th. 
Oh well, was hoping that it would say something closer to today's date. Rather than just shaving a few days off at the end.
