Look up the word alienate. It's not what you think it means. A very few select group of people are able to get the watch without pre-ordering. There's not that much more to it. No need to take it personally. It's a pure business/marketing strategy. If it helps sell more watches, I'm all for it. More sales/profits leads to continued innovation and a watch ver2.

Yeah. I realized that after I posted.

Same here except earlier on the 11th! My guess...6 weeks until our orders arrive. I even wish we'd get an updated date range (i.e. delivers 6/1-6/15). Order is for a 42mm SG BSB.
 
This is the date of my order. Do you think there is any chance i can get it early?

When did you order? It seems like there's a consistent about 7-10 days earlier than the earliest date they've been quoting; but keep your expectations in check that if Apple quotes you a date, getting it inside of that date range is what you should expect. Good luck!!
 
I order on april 10 at around 3:36 (pacific time), the date I got for delivery is May 28 -June 10. I hope it is earlier than that. Do you know about orders arriving earlier than expected?

For the late night pre-orders it's pretty easy to see where we're at in the queue based (generally) on the time we completed/emailed our order.

It'd be really difficult to determine the number of orders Apple received after the first 30min. I'd imagine anyone that woke up (or stayed up) for the initial pre-order did so within 30min and went to bed. Everyone else likely waited till the next day or even a larger portion waited till they were able to try on a few models to determine which one they wanted. No way to know really.
 
Welp while enduring this never ending WAIT I went out and picked up a new MBA LOL. Couldn't get the macbook because Apple didn't have any in stock (what else is new) and their not shipping until June###
They really need to pull it together.
 
I got my 38 mm SG BSB via UPS on Friday. I was one of those that had an email order confirmation at XX:05, and I'd been given a May 14-28 delivery range.
 
Saw someone post a watch order confirmation of XX:17:37 for a 42 SG sport that had a delivery range the same as mine (May 13-27). Pretty surprised orders that late are scheduled for delivery then, but it should be a good sign that mine (8:36) should at least be here in the earlier portion of that range or even sooner (I hope).

Anyone order a 42 SG sport with the same delivery range that is has an even later confirmation time?
 
Just got confirmation from UPS that delivery is scheduled for Tuesday, but the shipment only had the label created and UPS is waiting for the shipment to arrive (though that's likely not the case and it's probably with them already). Waiting for the site to update further to confirm that I can set it to be picked up from the UPS store.
 
Good Morning guys,

42mm ordered 12/04 still processing for June.

38mm ordered 25/04 changed from June to may 20th-June 02 past monday.
New week, new delivery dates :p?

French Apple Store
 
Sigh, just got an email from UPS: "your package cannot be delivered to the requested location". Figured something like this would happen. There's still not much tracking info on UPS' site so I'll just wait and see what happens tomorrow. Wouldn't surprise me if it winds up going back.
 
Preparing!

I'm a little surprised, I ordered a 42mm SG BSB on April 10 @ 4:00 AM EST.
I got the same initial delivery of June, then got the updated email for delivery for May 29 - June 11.

But my status is still Processing. :(

Why is this surprising? Your status will be "processing" until they finally ship your watch, in about a few weeks I guess.
 
How am I going to concentrate for the rest of the afternoon at work when I know what is waiting for me at home (just delivered!!)? :D
(38mm SG BSB ordered April 10 XX:17).
Good luck to all those still waiting, I hope you all get yours ASAP!!!
 
This thread seems to have gone pretty far afield and it looks like most of the diligent reporters have already received their watches.

Lets keep it going if you please:

The start of this conversation someone said they ordered their watch on 4/24 got a shipping date for 5/20 to 5/29 something like that is why me and another person was surprised

You got in on the second HOUR of orders while most people here are waiting on their 10th MINUTE. You'll be waiting a while longer then most people here lol.

You can't go by individual people. There are trolls and outliers. The general consensus is that we're into the 6/7 minute mark. Which is funny because it felt like it took FOREVER just to get to my 5min mark and now it feels like we're flying thru the rest lol.
 
Does anyone know why some of us have a "June" delivery window while others have a specific date range (ie. May 28-June 10)? I think I just read above that someone ordered on 4/24 and has a specific range while I ordered on 4/11 and it just says June.

Yeah I know I have a long wait and the person saying they ordered theirs on 4/24th with a date of May 20th to 28th seem a little hard to believe. Hopefully everyone after the 6/7 mark things start to go quicker than expected.

The shipping date depends on what model you ordered, when Apple confirmed your order and where you are. That fella did surely not order a 42 mm SG AWS.
