First post here. Been watching and reading the posts here since April 10th though.

I knew which watch I wanted and everything right away. I was in the Apple Store on 4/9 and spoke with a representative. I specifically asked should I stay up until 3am (I'm on the east coast) or will I be safe in ordering when I came in the next morning for my try on appointment (I was planning to be one of the first to try on.)

Rep told me I would be fine preordering from in the store and still having good chances of getting my watch on launch date. I stayed up until 3am anyways to make my try on appointment. I watched the orders slip from 4/24-5/8 to 4-6 weeks to June. I was okay because I remembered what the rep told me in store.

I made my appointment for 10:30am at my local store. Got in, tried on my 42mm space grey sport. Told them I was ready to preorder. They said, "You can use one of the computers here or use the app on your phone as we can't take preorders in store." Needless to say, I was LIVID.

To make a long story short, "Available to ship: June" ####

I learned my lesson though. Next preorder launch or anything, I'll be ready!
 
Maybe because the 42mm is more in demand?

My option to cancel is still there. 42mm silver sport w/white band. But I think the space grey was more popular so you may have a point there.

Sorry to hear that, man. If it helps, I hear that model's shipping status slipped down VERY quickly, so there's a chance you would have still gotten June. The space grey sport is high in demand.
 
Checked again for no reason....

Still says Processing.

Same. I thought I was crazy checking once a day or more until now, but since the early batch has starting preparing to ship I'm checking more for no reason. I guess I'm hoping it magically changes and that Apple will make us all happy on launch day.

I check again and posted about it again.

And again it says Processing. :D

At this point I've stopped checking my apple status as much. I know I'll get a notfication from my bank for a large purchase, and I'll get a notification from the Apple Store app when my order status changes. So now I keep watching the 4-6 weeks thread. If any of them get an early shipment, that's a good sign that we might see ours early as well.
 
Any of you considering Ebay at this point?
I mean if I hadn't just paid $275 to put freon in my home air conditioning unit. I probably would be ##

Absolutely not! Waiting a few extra weeks is well worth not spending all the extra cash. Those ebay orders are ridiculous!

Literally the exact same thing happened to me man, I feel your pain and I'm still livid.
 
I got a June ship date (small AL Sport with white band). I ordered late, i.e. about 9 a.m.EST. I don't really feel like it's a huge wait and if there are any adjustments to be made on it, then they will be made and mistakes averted. I wish I could have had one of the first ones but this isn't bad.
 
Still holding out hope that we will get our June deliveries in mid-late May :) At least at the start of June.

If it's towards the end of June I will be cranky.

It sucks to those of us who ordered one and got into the first batch of deliveries, then cancelled and changed our order after the try-on and got pushed to June.

Should have been selfish and ordered two and cancelled one later.

the suffering will begin when we see people in the streets wearing an apple watch and we are stuck waiting until june :-\
 
It just sucks in general who would've ever thought that ordering 45min late would push your order back 2 months?!??

If they were in stores I definitely would've waited Thursday night.

Thankfully I don't know anyone buying an Apple watch. When I bought it up at work they actually kinda made me feel like bratty snob for buying one###
 
just think of it this way, all these early adopters will educate us on the pluses and minuses.
Not to mention it's kinda like getting and extended return period.
They will identify the good, bad and bugs. We use sit back watching them enjoy and complain for us to make an even more informed decision to keep or cancel the watches we won't see until June.

That's very optimistic thinking, but I doubt anyone of us will cancle our orders if people complain about it. When it comes to apple, I'll always volunteer to be an early adopter.
 
No movement, June order here. Was on hold for four hours today as I asked to speak to Tim Cook personally. Finally I hung up in frustration....
 
I can't wait until JUNE. Ugh!!! I've already been waiting since September. Early 2015 my @$$ :mad:

Don't worry, I have a strong suspicion that the 'June' date we all got was just a very vague estimate by Apple to make sure they didn't piss anyone off. Mark my words, all preorderd  watches will be shipped before the end of March. It happened with iPhone 6 orders too.

Umm...April? May? because March is already past tense, about 19 days ago:D
