The store opened at 9 am in the uk i ordered at 13 mins past 9 i was the first in store at that apple shop to order in store .
Um, no, I mean the online store (when pre-orders actually started) :)
That was at 12:00am PDT, which is UTC-8, which should mean pre-orders in the UK started at 8am.
That you actually went to the physical store to order shouldn't really matter. If your e-mail confirmation time is 9:13am, then that's 1:13 after pre-orders started. :)
 
I have now received a dispatch email from Apple. Their estimate is delivery by the 18th; UPS website says delivery on Monday. :D
 
Unfortunately to my folks house as I will be out of town!
Wow! :eek: After SO much waiting, you get to wait a little more. Damn! Well, at least you will have it in your hands shortly!

ok cool my bad
 
So unfortunately since it shipped mid day on Thursday, with 2-3 business days I won't get it until Monday... I hate ordering anything on Thursdays or when companies ship on Thursdays.
 
I've had about 13 hours to enjoy this watch (of which 6 hours were sleep) and will tell you that whatever frustration or doubts you had about it will be laid to rest. This is the most awesome and imaginative piece of technology ever (IMO), Hang in there, you are waiting for the best of the best - it is gorgeous! Thanks to everyone on this thread for supporting me with humor, advice and kindness during my wait.
 
Can't wear metal bands at work so I needed something else sometimes. I did want white to match the car though.

The link will be for outside of work events!

as long as your going to use it! i know a few people on different forums aren't going to use it at all. WHYYYY.

I agree with this 100%
 
Dispatched at last! :D

UK order for a 42mm Space Black Apple Watch with Space Black Link Bracelet, with an 8.24am BST (XX:24) email confirmation on 10 April.

Dispatched on Friday 12 June by UPS, estimated to be delivered on Monday 15 June :)
 
This is torturous... I requested with UPS MyChoice last night that they hold it at the depot as I wasn't going to be home today, so I show up at the local hub/depot this morning and they don't know if it's there. I get a call an hour later saying myChoice request didn't go through and they spoke to the driver and it's on the truck for delivery to my place. I managed to get out of work for a few hours and drive back home. After the normal UPS delivery time for my place passes, I check the status and it's being redirected to the Depot... uggghhhhh FML
 
Finally, arrived to Alberta, Canada

Ordered April 10 on xx:18
Delivery Date June 26-30
Prepared for shipment on June 9th
Arrived June 12

Long wait but worth the wait

Well guys and gals, it's been a nice few months of constantly refreshing my order confirmation page with everyone else here!

It was soooooo worth it! Hopefully anyone waiting gets theirs ASAP!

Obligatory steering wheel pic!

It arrived. It's a beauty. It's been said before but the black really sets up the images very well. It's not as heavy as I might have thought, but it's very comfortable.
I'm staying with this thread until you all have your watch. Mine came 10 days before the beginning of my window so there is hope for you all.
One note, UPS did not wait for a signature. The guy would have left a $1400 watch on my front step if I wasn't home.
 
I noticed the web site has the SBSS at 3-4 weeks delivery. Hopping that is a sign that they are getting all the existing July orders out in the next 2 weeks. The way the pre order times are advancing I think it is possible.

Ordered 42mm SBSS on 4/25, July 7-14 window
