Crap. Misread your post. You said band ordered on the 7th. Not the watch. Got my hopes up for my AWS WSB ordered on 5/5!!!
It amazes me that just because your band is blue & mine is black that yours is shipping more then a month before mine & I ordered 4/19.
I agree. I purchased two Space Grey BSB (one in 38mm for my wife and one in 42mm for me) on April 17th, and the 38mm arrived Friday, but my 42mm is slated for June 22-29th delivery. it is frustrating that the color of the band is allowing them to ship products to customers who purchases several days after me.
I think a lot of their logistic problems outside of manufacturing the actual watches is that they are trying to package them in a way that significantly hampers production and shipping.
There is no need to ship the apple watch with the bands already on the watch. or they could simply sell every watch with a BSB and ship the custom bands separately. that makes the most sense to me, but then again, i could be completely wrong.

What time did you order your watch, and in what time zone? I ask because I also ordered on April 10, at 7:24 AM EST (42mm SG BSB), and so far I am still processing, with an expected date range of May 29 through June 11th.

I think apple is going for the "personal" experience right out of the box.
If everybody had a standard BSB ought out of the box it would take away part of the personal experience. Even if the majority of people ordered separate bands also.
None the less, I would have got a blue band & ordered a black separate had I known I'd have got my watch a month earlier.
Although my watch use will be minimal beings as I work construction & won't be wearing it most of the day, i still am eager to try it out for my most purpousful reason, the gym.
Seems like they are still less than a half hour out from the opening of preorders in the US- may be a bit of a wait i fear
as of late, would you say that most movement are in the late pm and early am hours? I haven't seen any stories of people getting charged and PFS mid day. Does anyone know if they do mid-day fillings?
I was wondering the same thing- i remember recently they were shipping mid afternoon/early evening eastern time but recently it has been early in the morning
Ordered at 3:12am EST on April 10. (12 minutes after available)
Scheduled for a May 13-27 delivery. Came today (May19)
Oh I totally know it will be a wait. Just no progress for us poor saps who ordered a SG BSB after the first 17 min or so.
From the people I have been talking to and from my own experience:
Charged after midnight
PFS Early AM
Shipped/Tracking late afternoon
Delivered the next day
Yeah they definitly seem to have slowed on the 42 SS ML I ordered roughly an hour before you. same time frame.
No movement on the watch but my second band shipped. So I will have my sport band and black leather band before I get my Space Black Link Watch.
