Those of us who used gift cards just got royally screwed over. We can't use the ios app to purchase ANYTHING with a gift card, which makes no sense. So while you guys were breezing through the checkout on your phones, I was refreshing the website on my computer and the store was still down. Now I have to wait till possibly the end of May.
 
4/2-5/8 delivery date. Was torn between the aluminum and stainless steel. At the last second I went with a black stainless steel one. With AppleCare. And it took less then five minutes to go through the whole process.

I went on Amazon and ordered a white band for it from Spigen. And that took less then a minute also. Got both email confirmations.

Almost scary how easy it was. I had to double check my email cause I thought surely this was too easy? I must have screwed something up? But no. I'm good.
 
Both 5/13-5/27 ordered at 12:13 am:

Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Stone Leather Loop - Large
Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Milanese Loop
 
got my order in first few mins, space grey sport 42mm, ships to canada 4-6 weeks (05/15 - 05/28). Hopefully ships sooner
 
first world problems...

Stop being cute. No one who is a fan on this message board has room to say it because we're all tools who buy this company's hype to the point we spend a decent chunk of change every year.

Shipping times slipping within 10 minutes of pre-orders going on sale is unacceptable. If you cannot gauge interest better than that, you're doing a pretty crappy job as an organization.

Yeap same happened to me! I almost ordered it over the app with :apple: pay!
 
Ordered it right when the Apple website came up.... really? :eek:

Shipment 1
Available to ship: 4 - 6 weeks
Delivers: May 13 - May 27 by Standard Shipping

Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Sport Band $599.00
 
I got both my orders in for the SS and SS Space Black (will cancel one once I try them on) RIGHT at 12:01. And I got this:

Delivers: May 13 - May 27 by Standard Shipping

If this is seriously true (that late shipping on what is their highest end standard Apple Watch). Customer Service is going to need to sweeten my order ASAP.

Not excited about that, I expected close to or exact day launch for this premium product.
 
4/24-5/8. SS w/ black sport. Because 42mm link said 4-6 weeks. Bummed, but
then I ordered 42mm link bracelet separately and it is 2-4 weeks (April 29 to May 12).
 
38mm SS link band. Ordered within the first four or five minutes, maybe sooner.

Available to ship: 4 - 6 weeks
Delivers: May 13 - May 27 by Standard Shipping
 
So I ordered the 42mm Space Grey: 4/24 - 5/8

Then I accidentally double ordered the 42mm Space Black (honestly don't know how that happened) which is where it gets interesting...
The first one I ordered, at 3:05, comes 5/13 - 5/27
The second one, ordered one minute later at 3:06, comes in June! Crazy
 
I think those of us who ordered in the first minutes have a good chance of getting them when they said. NOTHING seemed to say ON the 24th but had the range.

I am so happy that I decided at the last minute to go with 42mm SS with Classic Buckle. Looks like SS with Black sport is already slipping.
