Heres a question for everyone...

I ordered both a space black stainless, and a space grey sport on the 3rd (stuck with June delivery... early would be nice :D)... Anyways, over night the order changed from June delivery to ships in 3-5 weeks, and I now have June 1-12th delivery date, at least when I look on my mac. On the apple store app however, the space grey has the 3-5 week ship time, and the space black still has "June." Which should I believe??

I had this happen with a band stuck on "May" but online it had the date range. I closed the app, reopened it, logged back in to my account on the app and it was corrected with the date range
 
Screenshots?

Here ya go...


I'd also like to add I don't recall getting the option to have all items shipped together, or as soon as they become available.

Interesting. I would believe the website. A post above yours suggested closing the app from multitasking and re-opening it and see if the date refreshes.

Also, this seems to be a good sign that Apple is confident in their shipping estimates.

The green will be a nice contrast! I don't quite understand why they don't release all the colors Jony Ive showed off at that event. If they're capable of producing them they should give us the option to buy them, in my opinion. Time will tell!

I'm a big fan of longboarding so a Sports band would be ideal for that. But then if I fell I'd be screwed.
Yeah I think the green will look good too. I also like the Orange idea you had.

I agree about the bands. Give me all the options right off the bat. I imagine that maybe the only reason they didn't release more was just for supply issues.

Stainless Steel Space Black Shipping Status

I ordered within first 5 minutes and got June date.


This just blows my mind. I can't believe that in 5 minutes, many of which it was difficult to even access the store, they went to June delivery. It is clear that they did not anticipate to ship very many in the first wave!
 
I had my order in by 4/10 03:10 am EST

SS Space Grey w/ Link Bracelet has a June delivery estimate still.

My BSB will be here Friday though (yay I can wear a band without a watch)..
^ This changed today, so there is hope.

When I first clicked it to order it said 3-5 weeks. In put all my credit info in and clicked submit and an error showed for having the same phone number in the optional number field as I did in the main number field. By the time I remitted the credit info and submitted again it said June. I was so fing pissed. Fml
 
July delivery...ugh. Obviously no change.

So I guess I'll pass my time imagining a black Milanese band to go along with the space black SS. (I know I'm bad at photoshop)

Slightly off topic but my Medium Bright Blue Leather Loop changed from May shipping to May 26 - June 1 a few minutes ago. Looks I really will have the Watch before the extra band..

Hey, even your bad photoshop skills aren't enough to make this beauty look bad! :cool: Thanks for the mockup!

Also, has anyone noticed that while most June ship dates changed to July starting in the new month of May, the July ship date of the SB SS didn't change to August?

Not sure whether to believe the app or the website. I am inclined to say the App, purely because it it showing dates of individual items. Your band says 3-5 weeks, but the watch says June. Where as the website is showing you your entire order, not individual items, so probably just shows you the earliest date.

I would suspect that even though you placed it as a single order the band will be sent earlier (3-5 weeks) and the watch will be sent after (June).

Could be wrong, but that's how I understand it.
 
CRAZY THEORY GUYS

Maybe the reason the shipping timeline was 4-6 weeks from the beginning because that's the soonest they could ship them! Everyone should calm down until we are even in the shipping window. Any other movement is just a bonus as far as I'm concerned. I don't expect anything until next week.

Preposterous.
