4/24 - 5/8 for 38 sport blue. email timestamped 3:08am.

I also used 5 apple giftcards to purchase and then went through without issue. Simply typed out the pin codes in advance and copy/pasted them.

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.


SAME HERE, lol.
Especially since this is my first even ordering from apple.com (used the app). I keep refreshing my email as if something would change.

Got my order for a 42mm SS with white sports band in within the first couple minutes and received an email at 3:03 ET saying 4/24-5/8 delivery. Hoping this does not change.

Used the app on my iPhone and paid with Apple Pay. The weird thing is the billing address shown is an address I have not lived at for years, but the shipping address is accurate. I will have to call Apple and get this sorted out. Hopefully this does not screw anything up.

Was hoping for an in-store pick up option but I guess it is delivery only at this time...

There was a rumor that some models wouldn't ship on the 24th, period. Like the 42mm SS with Link Bracelet. So it may not be that you didn't try to order as much, as it was that Apple had to be selective with which specific combo was available on day 1.

42mm Apple Watch Sport with Green Sport Band: 4/24-5/8 (order went through at 3:02am via the Apple Store App).

38mm Apple Watch Sport with White Sport Band: I believe 4/24-5/8, although I can't get into the order screen to check and I ordered that for a family member and sent the confirmation email to them ... (order was through the Apple Store website because I had gift cards to use).

4/24 - 5/8 for 42mm SS Milanese. Ordered a black sport band separately and that's 4/29-5/12.

Decided to package the watch with the Milanese. I'm figuring sport bands are going to be in higher demand and don't want that to be the reason my watch shipment gets delayed.

Just like with every iPhone release, I'm sure most early purchaser's dates will get moved up and they will receive them on launch day. #drama

I always queue up for iPhones so I don't have the preorder experience. You're saying this is normal to have a range (4/24 - 5/8) and then get a confirmation with a hard date later?
