Yes, from I've seen on this thread the 38mm are moving much quicker than the 42mm.
It still could get to you by tomorrow. Apple has been shipping some from the states. My buddy had his shipped from California.
Awesome thanks! I hope it does. Now I just have to wait for UPS. More waiting!
Well quite honestly that's a shame. This massive supply and demand nonsense apple pulls when releasing these products is getting severely tiresome. They do this on purpose to generate public interest and I don't believe for one second that with a product that has been in the pipeline as long as the watch has that they couldn't meet the demand for these orders. With Apple's influence, power and revenue I just have a hard time believing this isn't done on purpose.
If you're dumb enough like we are to order a gen 1 product from Apple you should receive it within a timely fashion, not weeks upon weeks after you order it.
UPS rescheduled my delivery for tomorrow as it sat at the hub down the street from me, I was on my way out to UPS to pick it up, but the truck pulls up as I'm leaving, lol. Anyway, I'll spare the typical watch photo..but just so you know the package itself is a lot larger and heavier than I thought. Well cushioned cardboard totally protects the inside long watch box. Inside, the white long box is much bigger and heavier then I completely imagined as well. No damage 
The date of mine hasn't changed either on my order page, but when I spoke to someone from apple they have me another estimate that was actually 6 days earlier than the one currently showing so don't worry if it hasn't updated on your original order
Always wonder how UPS drivers feel when Apple launches a product. 
Yes, it's great for their business but there's gotta be some tough days. Especially for big launch days (I've had them come almost at 10pm for iPhone release day deliveries!)
At least Apple Watch is spread out and we're all over the country.

Has anyone else noticed that the U.S. Orders seem to be dispatched faster than the UK orders? I'm in the UK so I'm watching this and another thread for UK orders and they seem to be much further behind..? I thought apple were shipping all of the orders from the same place?
Honestly it appears to be random. I've seen other Watch models ship outside the USA faster and visa-versa.
Apple's distribution shipping times can vary depending on your country. Of course I don't know the actual details of what causes certain countries to ship/dispatch first. I assume they're coming from the same manufacture too.
Last week they seemed to be letting through Europe orders fasters, this week it's the other way around.
Can someone tell me how to track UPS using my phone as a reference number. I guess all I need to know, is it just the 10 digit number with no spaces? How long from PFS before UPS has this information?
Not yet here (mine is 6/7 order in California).
Hope within 24 hours now that 6/6 seem to be going to PFS status.
Yep your billing phone number, no spaces. The phone number tracking worked (for me) JUST before the item actually shipped - about 1, 2 hours before it changed to "Shipped." I could never bring it up after a few hours once it changed to PFS.
When it does come up, you'll see something like this. Your phone number and a bunch of other reference numbers.
I was stuck in a meeting earlier today when I got the email that the package had been delivered and signed for by the girl up front. I will echo what PhillyGuy72 said, the package was much bigger and heavier than expected. Now I need my stand to arrive and need to start thinking about some alternative bands.
It's been real waiting with all of you the past 12 days, made the days go by a lot faster. Enjoy everyone!

Thanks. I'm probably just too early to see anything yet.
Ordered a 38mm SG BSB on Saturday afternoon.. initial delivery estimate was June 29 - July 1st. I received an email this afternoon that it'd already shipped with expected delivery of tomorrow.
That's fast.
That's fast.
I'm with you on the 6/9 order. Looks like 6/6 are going out today. Haven't heard anything from the 6/7 orders. Unless something changes tomorrow, I think the trend would tell us we won't get deliveries until next week.
Apple should fill the orders for the people who refresh the order status page the most.
