I got in at 12:01 for SS link, and same dates. Don't think they have those ready I guess.
38 and 42 silver sport in white ordered. Delivers 4/24-5/8. I ordered black sports bands too but the ETA on those are 4/29-5/12!

I used a gift card too, SS + milanese and was able to place my order at around 3:09 but it was already at 4-6 weeks for me
The app was ready on the spot but sadly I couldn't use it.
Really a kick in the face to anyone with gift cards. Disappointing that they can't get both the app and the website up at the same time to make it fair. I was awake with everyone else, but got penalized for having to wait for the website.
Order numbers (WSxxxxxxxxxx) are all over the place, not sure it's numerical order. Can't tell where I am in the list, but i guess the 4/24-5/8 is the best sign one can hope for.

Question: So I got an email (confirmation) that says processing, I get that it means that our order is in. Should I expect a followup email within the next couple of minutes/hours that says my order was successful or will it only update once it's ready to ship?
Could not "Add to Cart," just gave the option to "Buy with Other Payment Method" or "Buy with Pay." Bought my 38mm and 42mm White Sport separately.
Ordered at .03, .04 and .16
38mm Classic Black at .03
42mm Space a Gray at .04
42mm SS Classic Black at .16
All 3 received confirmations Processing.
Space Gray Sport Band shows shipping 4 to 6 weeks so plan to cancel and stick with 42mm Classic delivers on 4/24 date range.
Order Staus not yet available to cancel so currently have 3 watches processing. Will see if Apple limits to 2. I would prefer the 2 that deliver on the first wave.
No individual modern bands could be ordered either from store app or Internet currently. And my location brick and mortar not accepting appointments yet.

Went to favorites on Apple Store App. Saw 38mm ss (not black) with the black sports band had the better delivery date. Selected that watch. Started to change shipping to expedited when I noticed the site was going down...frantically placed my finger on home button to pay when....blat! The app crashed.
Very quickly the site was back up but the delivery date was pushed out. Was about to place the order again when I glanced at my mail. Holy**** the first order went through with the early (4/24-5/8) delivery.
This excitment is too much to me ;-) Grabbing a beer and going to sleep (I'm in california). Congrats/good luck to all!!
