Welcome to the club <3
I ordered a 38 yesterday, I figure if I don't like it I can send it back. I did go by the apple store this morning and there is not really a noticeable difference in the two sizes, both are small. I will get a better feel when using it than watching a demo loop anyways.
I knew we could break you.Screw it....I couldn't hold myself and went ahead and ordered a 38 mm lmaoo even though I wanted a 42mm...I have a 14 day window to decide to keep it or wait for the 42mm no big deal...thanks op
I have a 42mm WSB scheduled for June...I was hoping to have a little overlap between the arrival of the 38mm SS BCB and the WSB so I could decide which size is best. (I'm a credit card 'B' wrist.) If the BCB looks right, I'll probably cancel the WSB.
Reading this thread makes me realize they aren't really going FIFO on orders... I ordered one of these at 10:10AM PST 4/30 in the US, and based on some people on here having ordered AFTER I did, it really makes me believe its a crapshoot, no charge, no movement, NOTHING
Looks like the next flight into Louisville arrives a little after midnight eastern time tomorrow morning. Keep your fingers crossed!
Yup that's what I thought too, the 14 day window will give me time to decide if I like it or not, and it makes waiting for the 42mm easier for me lollI knew we could break you.

They have a few distribution centers, appears there is a geographic algorithm in place as well. No biggie to me, I'm trying very hard to remain patient and give Apple until the delivery window elapses.
Doesn't help that my order also says 4-6 weeks, and their site says 2-3. You'd think they could get their sh** together.
I just ordered today May 1st 30 minutes ago, it says May 20-28 delivery date..
I ordered mine 4/30 at 10:10 am PST, and got a delivery window of June 3rd-June 16th.... Awesome huh?
Check other 38mm models, I noticed a couple with 2-3 week delivery date, but 4-6 weeks that's weird and you ordered before me...
Yes, and I believe we ordered the same model right? 38mm Stainless Steel Black Classic Buckle. Correct?
i ordered today and got a window of May 20-27...my guess it will ship before that but thats strange yours is showing 6/3
Yeah that's right, also remember the op said her delivery date was June and he got a shipment notification less than a day, so it all might change and good luck

Mine is May 19-26, so ordering a day later only added a day to the shipping estimate.

Good luck!!! Keep us posted! I hope it ships today!!!!!
If it helps I did see both of these in person and something about the smaller one just caught my eye...I don't know I guess it's not so "hey everyone look...I have an apple watch!!" I have 152 mm wrist so the 42 was extremely huge!! Which for those with bigger wrists maybe that size looks better on them? I really just like the features and the hands free talking at my wrist! I have the 6 plus ( bad eyes) I like that I will be able to tuck my phone in my purse while I'm out and leave it there until I have the time to sit back and use the big screen. ( which is really why I like the 6 plus)

Let me remind you when I ordered my watch yesterday...it had a shipping time starting from June 3 rd....so don't let what it says as far as ship time discourage you!

LOL I'm a woman!!
I ordered today at 11:30am EST. How soon should I expect movement? Tonight, the weekend, or Monday?
I ordered 1130 yesterday...credit cards was charged at 4 pm...less than 5 hours after I ordered..then it shipped around 9 or so but was in preparing to ship from about 4:30 pm till about 8 pm.

Btw I'm still waiting for ups to arrive!! Eeeeeeek I think that is the worst part!! Lol
Just be glad you're home for it.
My wife left the house and UPS decided to show up an HOUR before the delivery window (earliest they've ever come to out neighborhood).
I got on chat to do a hold for pickup, but the pickup would be 7:45pm and I was in school, so I cancelled the hold for pickup.
Some genius at UPS decided to re-instate the hold for pickup during the night and I didn't find out until 7am (too late to change).
So, I had to fight 5'oclock traffic+construction to pickup a SG Sport with black band. It's still in the box as I want SS more.
Yea its been over 24 hours for me and I've not seen any movement whatsoever, I too am one of those people who jump on a bandwagon that then falls apart.
