You may want to explain that to Apple then. There's people out there with June estimates on the same watch the majority of people are waiting on who received their watches on day 1
Did these so called people order before or after you? Personally my thoughts are, that if you have a June date - then stop winging, if you get it before then, so be it, I order my SG Sport with BSB on launch day, it said 12th / 26th May, I got it last Tuesday
Yes the link bracelets are slow, but they have 900 components, on top of this, Apple had issues with Haptic Engines from one supplier, so had to re-assemble all of those.
I get people want the watches ASAP, and yes the US are probably getting more shipments, but to be honest, they have millions more customers and orders to complete... so if your delivery window is 12th - 26th, sit tight, if its June, go and do something less boring and come back in June, if it says July, go and get a life..
- What communication was incorrect - I was told at the point of order of the delivery ESTIMATE
- Different watches are shipping at different times, what did you expect, to literally ship in order....
- its an ESTIMATE - Apple said after a few days of pre-order, they expect many orders to ship before the estimate
- It was never confirmed that any of the watches would be available at launch - again, estimated shipping dates were provided at launch, and as yet, we haven't yet passed these.
- US is a slightly bigger country, with just a few more customers than the UK, I would expect more shipments
Really, what are your expectations, Why don't you just stamp your feet and shouting 'I want my watch, and I want it now'

Yep - but thats where the real reason for the complaints come from.... jealousy and the fact you don't have yours yet - I truly hope you get it soon, but if you have an estimated date of June, there is really no complaint to be made
Jeevster, a lot of people that are posting here, including myself have a delivery estimate for 12th of May. I haven't complained at all but I honestly find kind of funny that you come with all that tough talk when you have yours already, while we wait for some movement for our shipping window.
Not at all, ordered the 10th, delivery window 12-26/05. But seeing people ordering 2 hours and more after me are getting charged and shipped. But ok just my 2 cents
Now I am copycat with my sig xD
Ok guys so Ta4! actually meant Thursday At 4pm! Sorry for the confusion
hey there Harry, could you please tell me how you know about things happening on thursday 4pm? im just interested i'm willing to cling to any bit of hope i can haha
Have you actually passed your estimated date yet?

Mine shipped Friday 4pm.... Week before last
So what you are saying is Apple can dispatch orders in any order they like as long as they all fall in the delivery estimate windows
Alrighty then
Of course they can! They are not making these things one at a time by order time!
This has become a very Francis-forsaken place now!
I feel for you all, and wish Francis to shine down on you poor forgotten souls!
Praise be to Francis!

- No incorrect communication?
Apple said they are processing orders in the correct order applies on same watch/same config/same country:
FALSE! I ordered a watch that order peeps ordered after me, YES exactly the same configuration but already received it.
So incorrect In how they handle the orders and incorrect in the estimate.
- I am not complaining about my June date as is. I am complaining that there is lack of communication coming from Apple.
- it is correct they never said that all watches would be available at launch. THAT IS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM! Lack of communication! AGAIN!
U.S. might be bigger, still there is no relation between 7 days of updates compared to 2 / 3 hours per week in UK
Getting your watch before the estimate is also wrong!! Again showing that they have no clue when your watch arrives.
I am complaining about the way Apple handles this ****** up launch , not how fast I'm getting my watch.

I ordered 8.06 on the 10th, 42mm SG with BSB sport watch.... It is really dependant on the watch you ordered and the strap to go with it... I know some peeps have been ordering the 38mm sport watches and getting them within a few days, but I think the popular ones such as the SG and the link bracelet have been hard to come by
ah really? ok well i ordered the SS 38MM with black sportsband which seems to have a pretty good success rate even in the uk lol. so lets hope. i would feel bad getting it before people in this forum. but lets all be positive and see what happens.
So what watch did you order and when? I have to be honest, what do you want, an hourly update on the status of your watch, what is your expectation from Apple, they always give the same information for every product launch, i.e. you pre-order and you get an estimated date, i think you are just having a wobbly because you can't wait till your estimated shipping date - which is June, once they have a clearer idea of when YOUR watch will ship, they will update your account. I haven't seen anyone getting their watch before someone who ordered afterwards... I may have missed it, but I haven't seen it at all, just people complaining that they haven't got their watch with at least 2 weeks before the estimated shipping time....

I've gone and done the same. I came to this party late - only ordering on 02 May 2015. I'd (unconvincingly!) convinced myself I didn't want an Apple Watch - until at least the second generation - but my weak willpower failed me. The July shipping window was agonisingly long, so I paid a £150 premium for a sealed SS 42mm WSB. It should be with me on Fri.
I'd sold my Fitbit Charge HR to put towards an Apple Watch, so that took some of the sting out of the premium I paid.
