I am super bummed, fumbling around at 3:02 am made me not remember to do Apple Pay. I started to enter my correct shipping information in and then remembered to do Apple Pay.
So my 42mm space gray aluminum has a ship date of May 13-27.

wow was the shipment that tight?????
I really thinkPay was the game changer here. Made the entire process seamless.
it was seamless but it made me enter information over and over... maybe it was because it's my first time ordering from the apple store using apple pay. App Store purchase with touchID was more seamless for me.
Its probably becasue you didnt have your default information saved in apple pay. Settings > Passbook & Apple Pay > "Transaction Defaults"
who used
Earlier yesterday, I went through Apple Pay and corrected my work address (by deleting it and re-entering it... the only way) and set my home address as my default address for all three of my cards. Check out was instant process for me.
That's weird I never used it with the Apple store before and didn't have that problem. For me everything went right through.
means you're good for 4/24....the 5/8 is there to cover apples ass....sit back and smile you're going to have your new gadget on release day
42 SS Milanese, at 3:03 ET (USA). Used Apple Pay, no problems at all. (In house wifi, Apple App, iPhone 6 Plus.)
Went back a few seconds later to do a separate order for a Black Sports Band. No problems there, either!
Got confirmation emails quickly, with the stated shipping:
Shipping for both was the 'most immediate', I assume: 4/24-5/8 and 4/29. etc (2-4 weeks) for the band.
One interesting thing I saw was that the Black Sports Band had two versions, with a Gray pin, and with a normal SS pin. (Got the Gray)

I didn't do Apple Pay because I wanted to use two credit cards (which I still couldn't do with the app). Now that I know you can simply call Apple to change the payment (and keep delivery date) I will do Apple Pay everytime and then just call if I need a special payment option like gift cards
38 mm Apple sport watch silver aluminium.
Delivery: 24/4-8/5.
I used the Apple Store app. All I had to do was enter my card security code and I was good to go. I had my watch ready in my favourites.

My first choice was a Sport Black 42mm. I went about 3 weeks ago to the apple store and got a gift card (fully committed). As everybody was saying the best way to pre-order is through the "Apple store App" Im in nyc so i set my alarm for 2:50am. I jump out of bed, grab my MBA and my iphone. 3:02 i refresh the apple store and nothing, panic sets in. I grab my iphone and add it to the cart..go to check out and there is NO option to enter my gift card. I know i could just have checked out using apple pay, but i got the Gift Card for a reason (trying to cut down on CC debt).
I finally get the apple store on my laptop up at 3:10 by this time the only thing left in Sport and 42mm is the Pink band... so i ordered. Ill just swap out the band a little later..
i was just glad i was apple to get my hands on one.

42mm Apple Watch Sport (Space Gray) with Black wristband - which has to be one of the most popular watch models on the planet at this point. 04/24 - 05/08 delivery.
I was originally going to wait until my try-on appointment to buy but got nervous once I saw how many people were pre-ordering, so I just went ahead and pre-ordered at 3am last night. Glad I did, though fully willing to cancel if I don't like it at my appointment.
