Given all the people that are buying the watch and recording ways to destroy it... I suspect that Apple isn't going to notice the order you didn't place.

Given all the people that are buying the watch and recording ways to destroy it... I suspect that Apple isn't going to notice the order you didn't place.
Makes sense to me. And the headline of the article is misleading. It makes it sound like it is all orders, not just new ones.
Mine still has a June shipping date.
I pre ordered the same configuration and mine says "Processing Items Available to ship: 4-6 weeks
Delivers: May 13 - May 27 by Standard Shipping"
Normally when it's time to stay up and pre-order my new Apple tech, the waiting it almost over... Not this go around. :\
Mine came from Harrisburg yesterday. It sounds like they are working on the 06-07 minute time slot. I had confirmed pre-order at 05 so you should be getting one in a few days based on my estimates.
There's a huge thread in the Forum devoted to the status of this model. Check it out! I, too, am in the 5/13-5/27 time frame for this same model.
Let's hope for early, or at least on-time, delivery.
In Virginia purchased 42 MM Sport Space Gray black band on April 14. Still says "Available to Ship: June."
I ordered the 38mm SS with Link band (same as pictured in this article) on Day 1 (after a morning tryon appointment) and it still says May 14-28.
My wife which ordered the 28mm SS with pink leather band said July from the second we ordered and it still says that.
Actually saw someone wear the watch last night and it got me a little upset that I dont have mine.

I have yesterday, but I am first wave. If I had to guess they are at 12:06-12:07 PST for those that pre-order considering I ordered mine on 12:05 PST.
I don't think Apple is being conservative. I really think they are having problems making these products and have effectively without announcement delayed the release until June to work out the issues they are having making the product.
Apple is too proud to announce such a thing so they just delay.
It's fine whatever. I can wait I guess. (On 3rd step of denial, acceptance I'm not getting the watch until June)

I have to disagree with this. Apple set a precendent themselves, that if you ordered within the first hour, you got your product on launch day.
They also said April 24th was launch day. Never said 4/25-May. This was after the fact, after a few months of proudly touting 24th.
Apple drop the ball, severely. its no big deal in the grand scheme of things. But this launch was a disaster. If samsung did this, this board would be through the roof
Even prior to all these delays one "apple insider" already predicted V2 in 2017.
No Expedited Shipping for Me
As a point of reference, I ordered my 42mm Watch Sport "Space Grey Aluminum with Black Sport Band" immediately once the web store was open. My delivery estimate has never changed since that moment:
I get aggravated when I see posts saying that most Watches with delivery estimates in May are being delivered early. This is clearly not the case with the Space Grey Sport (as far as I can tell) and it is quite clear that this model represents a large percentage of what has been ordered. So to suggest that many/most/etc. Watches are shipping early really feels inaccurate, at best.
This waiting game has been driving me crazy! Out of all of my Apple experiences, this has got to be the worst

Happens all the time with Samsung and other manufacturers - it's not a big deal when it happens to them, only Apple.

Samsung Z Misses Launch
The Samsung Z – the company’s first smartphone run on its Tizen mobile OS – was slated to launch at an event for developers in Moscow on July 10. But alas, it appears Samsung’s platform has been hit with yet another delay as the device failed to show up at the event.

Oh please-- the launch is far from a "disaster". If they gave people a window of time in which to expect it, it's a mistake on the user's part to assume it would be anything other than anywhere within that timeframe. If Apple is late to deliver significant quantities within that timeframe, then it could be a problem.
But so far, the only thing that has happened is deliveries within or prior to the given timeline.
