Yep. But the ability to swap bands is enough justification for me.

The UPS site doesn't have any information yet. When I click the "Track Shipment" button on the apple order page, it says, "UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request."

But I just received a message from "info@orders.apple.com" that says my watch has shipped and will arrive before 4/24/2015.

I pre-ordered one with a pink band as a Mother's Day gift. It currently says "June" and apparently is one of the ones that they are having supply issues. As far as I'm concerned, if there is a chance I'll get one with a blue band before May 10th it's better to give an actual watch with a band that can be replaced (and that's assuming my mother doesn't like the blue band, which she might) than a printout of a picture of a watch that won't arrive for another 3 weeks after the fact.

I wonder if the blue band was easier to produce than the pink band, and they somehow had lots more than they needed. In any case, I'm guessing that sales of the blue band spiked yesterday.

Not a chance! My GF loved the white band but I loved the blue..I'll just get her the white band as soon as we get the watch! :)
 
Anyone order any color 42 in the last couple days that is showing signs of shipping? I also know someone else that is not on these forums who had a 38 blue with June estimated that just shipped for delivery tomorrow. I was thinking of switching from Space Grey to blue but I want to stay with 42 and I have a feeling that only the 38s are shipping early.

I live 5 mins away from the future apple spaceship so I was hoping they would have a lot... heres to hoping something moves tonight or tomorrow. It sucks having to turn down contract work because of not knowing when i'll have a watch and not being lucky enough to get one in the first batch, or even being picked for the dev lottery.

Maybe you'll get a shipment notice tomorrow that it is arriving Saturday or Monday.

Same boat. Haven't been charged (except $1 transaction)... Best we can do is Saturday... More than likely next week.
 
You can't expect to order the watch and then a few hours later have a good result from apple. If you order something and they have to see if they have it in stock which could take more than a few hours, then thy have to update your info. So if you ordered it this morning you may have an answer by friday morning.

Screw it, sick of waiting on my SG 42 so ordered a white and blue to see if they will get here faster...ordered 5 minutes of it going on sale and nothing....
 
I did this as well. This past week has me now waiting on three different watches. A brown leather stainless steel watch, a blue sport watch, and white sport watch. All in processing hell. Nothing but the AppleCare has gone through yet. I feel like at this point I am just placing orders on various ones, even if I don't like the color. Just to see which one processes first. :rolleyes:
 
Ordered the 38 blue yesterday evening 8pm (Europe time zone) let's see if we see some movement today. My SS 42 mm Classic buckle ordered 4/10 still in processing......

And this has proven my point entirely.

That you are a smug ass, who thinks it's funny to judge other people who are trying to get a watch since you already got yours? Ya i think you are right :rolleyes:
