I've ordered a 42mm Stainless Steel Milanese Loop on the 12th of April and mines just been updatde to 22nd of June - 29th of June.

Really hoping it comes before then as I ordered very early on, I'll be annoyed if people that ordered their watches over a month later will still get there's on the same day...

My orders got updated today, had ordered a sport & a watch in case one was quicker than the other was originally July but now 5-7 weeks (25 June- 9th July) I can't decide which to cancel though,
42mm space grey with black sports band
42mm stainless steel with black leather loop
Thoughts anyone?

If you prefer matte and more subdued look, choose space gray sport model (my favourite so far) and buy black leather loop to have both straps(best of all avalaible for me).
If you prefer bright look of stainless steel, go for the other.

Thanks for the advice :)
I think I will go with the space grey and leather loop as you suggest I like the stainless steel although I just feel £599 is a bit expensive especially as it's a 1st gen product

nice, i ordered exactly the same on 11/4/15 and have the same delivery window, which has only just updated for me, not sure if they are in any order within the window or its just send them out asap
 
I read on here the charges don't come until after 4pm. Have another look at your bank at 6pm to check.

Just noticed that the delivery times stated on the Apple Store app have been updated to 5-7 weeks (42 SS BSB) for new orders too.

It was written by craig1410 and modified by jrobert, you need to click quote to get all the code as its truncated in the post.

Code: 
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'pony'

Pony.options = {
  :from => 'you@you.com',
  :via => :smtp,
  :via_options => {
    :address     => 'your-mailhost.you.com',
    :port     => '587',
    :enable_starttls_auto => true,
    :user_name     => 'mail-user-name',
    :password => 'mail-password',
    :authentication     => :login,
    :domain   => "localhost.localdomain"
  }
}

a = Mechanize.new
a.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
url = 'http://store.apple.com/go/uk/vieworder/APPLE_ORDER_NO/EMAIL_ADDRESS/'

status = 'Processing Items'
while status == 'Processing Items'
  page = a.get(url) rescue nil
  if page
    status = page.search('.h3 .strong')[0].text
    delivery = page.search('.h5 > .block')[0].text.strip.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')
    puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - #{status} - #{delivery}"
  else
    puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - Unable to contact Apple Store"  
  end
  sleep 300
end

Pony.mail(:to => 'you@you.com', subject: "Apple Store Order ", body: "Order status now: #{status}\n\n#{url}")

Got a guide on how to execute it?
 
My 42mm SG BSB just updated to 22nd - 29th June too. Bit of a joke now, I ordered on the 24th. Looking at the spreadsheet I was getting so hopeful that we were getting closer as more and more shipped, Surely this is just to give them time, they can't possibly need another whole month to ship out preorders
 
As it seems that everyone and their dog have moved to the last week of June delivery date I'm taking it with a pinch of salt.
 
Looking at the Apple Store it is now saying 5-7 weeks for 42 SG BSB that I ordered on 11th April and I have a 5-6 week dispatch window. This really is not on for those of us that bothered to pre order. I really hope we see earlier shipping than quoted.
 
Delivered @ 0903 via ups
apple watch large black leather loop
ordered @ 8:05am

now rushing home but the train is running so slow due to signal failures :'(
 
Seems everyone is falling into the 22nd June+ category.

Are there many people waiting on watches before that?

If not it's reasonable to believe Apple is playing it safe and should deliver earlier than that in many cases, isn't it?

Thoughts?

Myself and many others have deliveries for some time between 12th - 26th May and looks like quite a few have delivery dates from 28th May - 9th June, not heard of anyone getting a date between the 9th June & 22nd June though??
 
18/04 Blue Leather Loop Large delivered today by UPS.

Unfortunately I can't collect it from the Access Point until tomorrow but at least I was able to rearrange the delivery whilst I was at work today!

Completely forgot I had a UPS My Choice account otherwise I'd have been snookered until Thursday.
 
I don't why the sudden shift in dates to the end of June. All I know is mine is still 12th to 25th May - and, as of yet, no movement again today.

I think it's because Apple have doubled the production and want to get from "Ordered to Delivered" down to two weeks. If they can achieve that window it means they can start selling products via the retail stores
