Haven't seen many 42mm of any combo moving. Quick shipments seem to all be the 38mm.
i really wanted the stainless steel version anyway, so i canceled my vague "JUNE" blue sport 38mm, and ordered a SS 38MM Classic....
got a may 18th-26th date...
better then "june"

I can also confirm this is true. Ordered late last night (4/30), 38mm SS classic, got a confirmation window for 6/2-6/15. Card charged overnight, status changed to prep for shipping when I checked this morning. Earlier today, got a shipping email from Apple with a delivery date of 5/1, UPS # provided (but not active), status changed to shipped. Just a while ago, UPS # became active but it's not showing a final delivery date of 5/1 yet ("Scheduled delivery information is not available at this time. Please check back later.").
I'm in CA, and it's coming from Ontario, CA.

After eBay fees the amount you'd make isn't worth the effort. They seem to be ending around the $750 mark or so.
Also US. I left out the caveat that my billing info was wrong and I think Apple tried to process it. I corrected it, but may have missed the wave today. Here's hoping for tomorrow.
If I needed a 42mm SS by the end of the week, is classic my best bet?
Damn, should've bought it when it was still 4/24 during the preorder.
From what I read in the 42mm classic thread probably not. All of those people pre-ordered on the 10th and are just now getting it shipped. I have no idea what the best bet is for the 42mm. Best of luck though.
im debating so hard. because you only get the 14 day return policy. im a guy and i have small wrists.
what you guys think?
what you guys think?
What size is your wrist in millimeters? Did you do the credit card test in the sticky thread?
I think it will fit your wrist size wise. The band will certainly fit as it goes up to 200mm. It's ultimately up to you but you should be fine with 38mm.
I have 178MM wrist and I can rock both sizes,I choose the 38MM watch due to it actually looking like a watch than a gadget.
My wrist is 177mm around, 62mm in width and I'm going with the 38mm. I haven't tried it on in person and I don't care what everyone says. I don't like big watches. Go for the 38mm unless you're like most people and want your Apple Watch to stand out. I want mine to look like a watch, not a screen on a band.
I have no idea how they plan their production runs given the random demand at any given time. They also have to be anticipating a whole slew of cancelations come mid-summer when everyone finally gets what they actually wanted and either cancels or returns the ones they didn't want.
Here's a screen cap from This Week in Tech. That's Leo Laporte's arm with a 38mm on. I can guarantee you his wrist is more than 177mm, so I agree that you guys will be fine.

if its too small for my tastes i'll return it. i just compared my regular watch, and i think this would be the same size as that. so let's see!
