You'll be fine. My 38mm white sport didn't switch from "en route to a UPS facility in PA" / no date until the middle of the night the day it was delivered.
Meaning, there was still no status change and no estimated delivery date when I went to bed the night before I got it. Everything happened overnight and then it was out for delivery. Apple's system never showed me an expected delivery date. In fact, Apple's system still just says "shipped on 4/23", no further info. (Again, this is all in re: to my own 38mm white, still missing my BF's 42mm SG.)
Ah, thanks! That makes me feel better. Hopefully your boyfriend's watch ships really soon!
My guess is that your order got pushed to ship sooner but still within the originally quoted window of 4-6 weeks or whatever. The system isn't able to identify whether it's sooner or later, since the originally quoted time frame was just a window of time 4-6 weeks, so it sent you both the delay and the "pushed sooner" emails.
Waiting is the hardest part.....
I don't know why I look at these forums, I walk away deflated and pessimistic. I have a long way to go especially since the first 5-7 minutes of preorders haven't been fulfilled.
Ordered : 42mm SG
Confirmation: 06:46:48am EST
Location: Concord, NC
Originally :"June"
Now: 4-6 Weeks (May 29 - June 11)
It did update to 4-6 weeks, but that doesn't mean much. Its better than "June" but still aggravating. It would be great if Apple would address this backlog, not only for us SGers but for anyone who "preordered" this watch. Seems like in the past there was a response from Apple pretty quickly. Hopefully we all see movement sooner than expected.

Wow. Maybe lighten up a little. Who cares what people use to describe it.

I would not be concerned. I got shipping confirmation on a blue sport on Friday to deliver Tues. and it said the same thing as yours all weekend and then today at 2:09 PM the UPS info finally updated and it has been in Canada since Saturday.
There is definitely something up with the 42mm SG model.. I had ordered 38mm & 42mm SG on the 25th. They moved up the 38mm to May 21-June 4 yet the 42mm has not moved from the June shipment
I do wish Apple would address the issue... But the fact those orders are just sitting in the queue, I'm sure they gonna ramp up production for that particular model..
Space Gray folks, I just wanted to share a couple of impressions after having my SG for a couple of days.
1. The band is very much a magnet for dust and stuff, and as other threads are discussing, is starting to show signs of wear on the inside where the band rubs together.
2. The Watch itself shows a lot of dust and lint especially around the tiny gap between the screen and the aluminum frame.
So the SG has a new home with my friend, and I am keeping the Sliver/White band combo.
These may not be issues for most people, but it bugs me and made me realize that's one of the reasons i switched from to the white iPhone. Just my $.02.

Just about every poll I have ready shows that the 42mm SG was the most popular model... and the polls pretty consistently showed it outsold the 38mm SG 3 to 1. Not an exact science, but I've seen enough to be convinced that it's a pretty safe guess.
All of that to say... it won't be surprising if you get the 38mm before the 42mm, just because the demand was so much higher.
42 mm SG BSB order confirmation xx:09:55 on 4/10
Status - Processing
Estimating May 13-26 delivery.
I thought it used to show May 16 - 28 so that is a but of an update.

I ordered a 42mm SG BSB at xx:18 also but I have a ship date range of 5/13- 5/27...I realize that email confirmation doesn't appear to be the only determining factor but I can't imagine yours being that far behind me...lol the way it's going, you'll probably receive yours first, which would be fine with me too #
There are a lot of UPS jets in the air inbound to Anchorage but I think only one of those flights actually originated at Zhengzhou (SP?) which is where I would guess shipments for Apple would originate.
Tracking just went live for my order that got charged noon yesterday and shipped last night. Origin scan at Harrisburg, PA around noon, delivering tomorrow 4/28.

agreed. once the xx:05's are all shipped, i think the xx:06-->xx:20's will ship with the quickness.
I'm xx:15.
Right. THATS IT!!!!
No ****ing charge.
No ****ing status change.
No ****ing watch.
I've just been into the Apple Store and really kicked off at the imbeciles in there. No one was taking me seriously so I started scratching all the ****ing MacBook screens with my ****ing Swiss Army knife.
The ****ers soon took notice and called security.
Luckily I'm a karate blue belt and kicked the guys arse. He will be spending the night in hospital.
Tried to snatch a space grey from someone doing a try on, but was rugby tackled by the other guard.
Eventually had to run off after I knocked the leg from out of under the table and all of the Ipads off the tables onto the floor.
Must've been 8 or 9 iPads completely mullered.
After all that still no ****ing apple watch.
WORST LAUNCH EVER!!!!
Took a pic just before running off. That'll teach the bastards!!

Yes, this has been my running theory as well. A few 6-20 folks are coming out of the woodwork (I'm :20, which is why I stopped there
), but the initial inundation of orders may have settled somewhere in the :05 or :06 range, judging by the completely random sampling of the average person who contributes here. Yep, I overslept. Still enjoying watching these message boards though.
I think it is safe to say this is not the case with the Space Gray. Obviously I do not have any inside information and this is speculation on my part but I am speculating with a certain degree of confidence.
I havent noticed these problems... do you move at all during the day? Do you collect dust on your head during the day too?
Jeez looks like you burst in through the window too. You must be built like an SUV.
My order was xx:16. I think a lot of people that ordered later than :06 just haven't chimed in yet.
