Strange that you get the same window as me even though you ordered 12 days before me.
 
This just in;

Ordered April 10th @ 6:08 AM EST

Moved from just July to Available to ship 5-6 weeks
Delivers 07 Jul, 2015 - 14 Jul, 2015 by Standard Shipping!

It's the little things in life!
 
My order's finally updated:

Processing Items Available to ship: 5-6 weeks
Delivers: 07 Jul, 2015 - 14 Jul, 2015 by Standard Shipping

Ordered 15th of April.

Nice to see some sort of change and 5-6 weeks isn't a very long time.
 
My 42 mm placed at xx:07:34 shipping to Connecticut is still processing with a June window.

The white sport and I ordered on May 20 is not preparing for shipment for delivery June 1.

Maybe all those planes were bands lol =(

Is now**
 
Been reading for a while, thought I'd chip in.

Space Black 42mm. Ordered on April 10th about 15/20 mins after pre-orders went live in UK. Still "Processing items" and still "June".
 
So they are updating the julyers with a more "definite" time but the juners are still June? I swear apples going to wait until Sunday night to update us juners with a window. If they don't update me with a timeline on monday, I'm going to call and demand answers.
 
Lets refresh this thread!

As of today, lets see what the latest order time is that has actually been charged/status updated.
I ordered at 3:09 with email confirmation at 3:11 June and Processing for me (NC, USA):)
 
This makes no sense how are others getting updates before shipping to people who ordered earlier...

My order x:08 April 10 42mm SB

Still no updates. Only been charged for AC+

You'll probably go straight to shipping...I'd rather that than an updated window!!!
 
Methinks Apple is cray-cray... How can they lock down a window for people in July...when here I sit still with "Processing Items Available to Ship: June"...
 
Same as you guys, 42mm July updated to 5-6 weeks, between 7/7 and 7/14. Really disappointing that it's actually going to end up being a 3 month wait in total.

Even more disappointing is the fact that some random guy could go order our watch from Apple and they'd get it pretty much the same time we would. What was the point of preordering early if we're still getting it along with the late orders?

Edit: I'm also seeing a few people saying that their 42mm SB watches got updated to 6/22-6/29. One guy said he ordered on 4/21 and got that 6/22 estimate too. Other guy ordered on 4/18 and got it too. That's really lame for those of us who ordered earlier and are stuck with July. How is that fair at all?

On the plus side, my Space Gray Sport with Black Sport Band that I ordered like 3 weeks ago (just to see which I could get first)...went from a July date to middle of June... ugh, really want to see some movement...

Apple Watch 42mm Space Black Stainless Steel Case with Space Black Link Bracelet

Ordered from Australia 22 April

This guy. Try ordering April 10 and still seeing "June"
 
Not sure when it happened... Sometime in the last two hours, 42 changed from July to July 7-14. Ordered may 3. My 38 also changed overnight to shipping in 4-6 days.
 
So it looks like within an hour or two of the plane landing in anchorage, it heads to louisville. The one from yesterday hasn't left or at least the cargo didn't move.
It was only 1 day off, come on people.

Here's a SS of what I'm seeing. We have another flight in route, and I hope tonight both flights / cargo head to louisville so we can get some movement. Looks like other watches are moving but ours.

Ok, this one is confusing me. How are they sure enough for July orders that they can narrow the window, but still not be sure enough about the June deliveries to narrow those?

Even if they want to allow themselves some allowance with June, why wouldnt they leave themselves the same with July?

Normally I can come up with some explanation that is at least plausible, but this one has me stumped.

Im sure there are some Apple engineers that are involved in the process that are at least watching the thread - maybe they just enjoy messing with us.. :)

My "July" for my 42mm changed to 10-17 of July this morning. *sigh*

So much for hoping for a June delivery.

Don't worry those dates aren't too accurate. My June 38mm updated to 4-6 weeks and end of June in the deliver by dates don't remember exact dates but something like June 22-29 or something. This was when I got the email from Apple saying 3-4 weeks on 5/7. Stayed like that for a few weeks then switched to 4-6 days yesterday and is PFS today. So the 38 is coming almost a month before the original deliver by date. No clue how the 42 will move but that was my experience with 38. If you get an email from Apple saying your watch should ship in the next x-xx weeks that email was dead on and it shipped on pretty much exactly 3 rd week to the day so beginning of that window.

I think it's because of geographies (and their SKU's). Each country will have it's own SKU (if we didn't have two languages in Canada, they likely could have used the same SKU for Canada as the US, but everything from a national standpoint must be in both languages), so the packaging for Canada has both English as well as French.

I think they think they have a better handle on the backlog now and are refining their shipping estimates based on their production plans. I think the US orders will be the last to be tightened up (well, we don't get people from China on here...so maybe the US and China last) as the story for the US is more complicated due to the significant numbers.

The only reason that we've seen orders "out of order" outside of the US (later shipping times) is because of the different SKU's being produced and shipments being done in batches.

Remember, when we first saw movements of the SB's, it was all US orders for the first little while. It's time there was a big US movement again, to catch you guys up with the 07's-10's we've seen outside the US.
