Anyone here ordered recently? I'm wondering what's the availability of the 42mm Sports Space Gray, is it possible to get a shipping date before the one advertised on store (June)?

Space Gray is the color of tears and sweat.

I think you'll get it sooner than June but not before mid or late May. If you're in Paris, you probably want to check Colette.

Hum, I just realized that May of the Dead – with all those holidays – is starting in a few days! Friday actually. Sheesh, this will delay the deliveries for sure!

If folks are getting late May dates for 42mm Sport Space Gray, amazing.

I care more about having the Watch first, as for the bands, there are only a few issues as far as I've seen, not really widespread...
 
Delivered by UPS at 9:30 this morning !

Configuring it right now.

The SS 42 Classic Buckle is gorgeous...

Can't believe it's been only 12 hours or so between "Preparing for Shipment" and delivered to my door !!!

\o/ enjoy!

No change here.
42mm Sport Space Gray BSB
Order time: 09:07:?? UTC+1

About the Space Gray model:
I read that some US customers who did order around H+7' got a shipping notification. But they are a lot between H+4' and H+6' who did not get any news. Also, it looks like here in Europe we are about 3 minutes later than in the US and Apple is processing the orders roughly 1 minute per day.

So, I think I won't get any news before, let's say, Monday... erf. Time to go outside and smoke a cigarette – just like all French people do. I may also practice my mime skills by faking having an Apple watch.
 
Can someone tell me please. My watch is preparing for shipment since yesterday but I see no movement on my CC.
When should I see this ? When preparing for shipment or when shipped ?

If its preparing for shipment, payment has already been made. I have received my watch and it doesnt yet appear on my bank account

Requoting myself for updates, I was told that people who order 42mm Sport Space Gray now will really get June shipping, just as it says on the website... I guess I'll just wait.

There must be some delay at your bank with displaying the information because apple first charges your CC then the order switches to preparing for shipment. My order has been in preparing for shipment for almost 20 hours now.
These are my statuses, delivery in Nice, France.

Apple Watch Sport 38mm White:
10-4 09:14 confirmation mail
21-4 20:21 credit card charged
22-4 16:45 preparing for shipment
23-4 10:50 shipped
24-4 11:00 first delivery attempt
27-4 10:50 delivered

Apple Watch Sport 38mm Blue:
24-4 02:22 confirmation mail
29-4 00:35 credit card charged
29-4 00:35 preparing for shipment

I'm leaving for France tomorrow, can't wait till I actually have it in (on) my hand.
Really hope the blue one switches to shipped today so it will be delivered tomorrow or Friday.
 
SHIPPED

Thank you so much for the info. Mine has been preparing for shipment for 24 h now and I haven't been able to check this status for an hour , something seems to be down in the store and all I get is : " Oops , file not found " I hope your get shipped tonight because there will be no deliveries on Friday because of the 1 st of May...
Oddly , I could got to  store on my computer , the error just shows up on ipad... it's still preparing for shipment , now I doubt I'll get it before next week :-((

Shipped just now, delivery tomorrow.

Exactly the same for me : I received the watch this morning and still no charge on my credit card...

So over here, credit card information is not the best thing to look at if you want to know if there is some movement on your order...
 
Delivered !

Good morning !

I'm now waiting to see movement at UPS ;-)) Two parcels , I guess une is  Care .
One is at St Ouen and the other still in Roissy ...

I'm getting really impatient , LOL ... I really want to have the day alone before the family is back tonight to set it up and play !

Edit : DELIVERED :)))))

Just received my friend's Apple Watch Sport 42 mm with White Sport Band which has been ordered around 8PM the 10th.

My 42 mm Space Gray Sport Watch is still processing. Ordered at 09:07 AM the 10th. Geeeezzz.
 
FYI

All of the 38 Sports (except the SG of course) are now showing 2-3 weeks shipping instead of 'June'

Edit: The pink 38 is also still showing June.
