Ordered via: Web Browser
From: Germany
Time: 9:11 CEST
What: 42mm Stainless Steel, Leather Loop, Apple Care, Charging Cable
Payment Credit Card
Estimated Delivery: May 12th - May 26th
 
Does anyone know how Apple handles financed items?!

I pre-ordered within 5 minutes but selected 0% financing as my payment option.

Concerning the shipping... does it then count when I placed the pre-order or when the bank gives its okay?! Having to send some files in to the bank via post it will definitely take a couple of days...

just had to refresh the app a couple times before ordering. Only complications came from error pages on the order status page.
 
I live in Germany and ordered about at 9:01am.

The leather loop 42mm stainless showed shipping time of 4-6 weeks from the start. I ordered the classic buckle (black) with 4/24-5/8 delivery date instead.

I then went back and just ordered the brown leather loop separately, which also has a 4/24-5/8 delivery date.

Kind of stupid that I had to do that, but whatever.

No errors. 2 separate orders. Both went through straight away. Confirmation emails time stamped "8:01am" and 8:02am"
 
Pre ordered SS Black Sport band, and Sport White band, both 38mm - 4 minutes after launch. 4/24-5/8 shipping estimate.
After I visit the apple store and try on both I'm going to cancel the one I don't like, so some lucky person will move up in the que. :)

Issue with the way my billing address was entered for Apple Pay (which is odd because it works fine in stores). Had to manually enter the address before it went through. Confirmation email came at 12:07 Pacific Time with a 4/24 - 5/8 delivery

Hopefully orders get cancelled and bump us lol

They might. Some people in here report to have bought 4 or 6. Apple may very well cancel all but 2 per person. You never know. From what I've been reading there was going to be a limit of 2 per person. The other ones may me glitches as a result of all the chaos, lol.

38mm ordered through the App on my iPhone 6+ at 3am EST
Delivery date: May 13-May 27 (how that happened I have no idea)

42mm ordered through the App, after trying on the 38mm and determining it was indeed too small, ordered around noon EST using a different credit card.
Delivery date: June :(

Connected through wifi. Both watches are space gray sport with black band.

My location is Upstate NY.

Kind of disappointed about waking up so early only to be disappointed.

Pending charge on my credit card means I'm good to go?

If Apple hasn't contacted you telling you that your credit card was declined (according to an Apple Rep I spoke with today) then you are good to go.
I called because I was unsure if I entered the correct credit card information. She checked and told me that my order went through with no problems.
