Apple is so random with this launch. I ordered the same exact model as you 3 days after you, originally said shipping in June, received it May 13th. I don't get it.
I finally did get to an Apple Store and asked if I could see the combo I have on order. I have to say, I wasn't that impressed with the look of the Leather Loop. If I keep the 42mm, I want a different band. I have the Milenese band on the 38mm I got on release day that several people on this forum told me looked bad. However, people have told me in public how pretty it looked. The manager at the Apple Store even told me it looked good. I am torn as to whether to keep waiting on the 42mm or let it go.
My apple watch sport White 42mm dispatched yesterday!
I order it 05/01 and the delivery estimate date was june!
That's incredible!!!

Whereabouts are you? I ordered a 42mm Sport BSB on the 24th and a Sport WSB on the 27th and both have the June 22-29 timeframe everyone has. Did you see the same thing? when did you get charged?
This whole process has been so erratic and crazy. I do check about three times a day for an order update waiting to cancel one watch or the other, but I feel I might as well just wait til UPS knocks on my door and go with it

Could anybody who have ordered a AWS SG 42mm on or after april 16 and has their generic 'June' shipping estimate changed to something more specific post their Order number? I'm in correspondence with Apple about my order not changing at all and they request an example of people who ordered after me and do have a detailed estimate.. Thanks!
Seems probable they would be stockpiling watches not for the April preorders but for second wave countries (announced to be released in additional countries end-June) so they don't make the same mistakes twice, or to ship to first wave country Apple stores, or both. If true, not cool and not going to sit well for people who preordered early April (April 10 for me) and are facing an end-June delivery date (June 25-July 2 for me).
I checked my account this morning and the charge for AppleCare is back again. It was gone Thursday and Friday. My status update still says shipping 22 June. I wonder if my watch will ship Monday or Tuesday. That would make me a very happy camper.
There have been a few thoughts that the ability to add, delete or edit gift messages plays some sort of factor. Do you know if you still have any of these options?

I believe ALL preorders (those before April 24) should be fulfilled before any stock of any watch is placed in stores or shipped to second launch countries. It is the only honest and just thing to do.
People like me who ordered around the April 11 - 15 timeline, should expect their Apple Watches sooner because Apple probably just gave a broad shipping date to anyone who ordered later than April 10. Well, Hopefully

I have no doubts that we will get our preorders before stores and second wave countries, but the current shipping windows provided by Apple indicate we likely get them days before and not weeks before like we are hoping. Debbie Downer I know..stepping back I have to say that's a pretty good problem to have if that's your only problem.
Crazy that only a few hour difference between orders on the same day can literally mean 1+ month difference between delivery.
I ordered my 42mm Sport SG on 04/24. Just changed yesterday from June shipment to June 22-29. At least I have a date range now.
If everyone here could just go ahead cancel your orders, I could get my watch in May.
Thanks a bunch!
Thanks a bunch!
So the moral of the story for gen2 is: If you miss the first 10 minutes of preordering, wait a month and then order because it won't make any difference.

The difference is that we wouldn't have spent the extra month checking our order status 50 times a day.
