Ordered with 24-4/8-5 but my order online now says 4-6weeks (12may-26may).

So in must have been just in the middle of those two 🙁
 
SS with Milanese Loop and SS with sport band, both 4/24-5/8
Link bracelet ordered separately - 4/29-5/12

Interestingly, the SS with Link bracelet was 4-6 weeks, so I did it as above...

Here's hoping that it was just an estimate, and that people that actually ordered the full link band with SS as-is get priority in shipping as top spenders over customers who ordered a separate link band.
 
42mm Space Gray Sport
4-6 weeks

This smells like the original iPad preorder. Got on early and shipping times slipped immediately but it shipped earlier than expected. Almost like Apple uses the buffer sort supply and routes.

I think that is unlikely. Not that the shipping estimate might move up, but that Apple would move up dates for some customers. I don't think they have ever worked like that. What is a top spender anyway? This watch still costs less than most Macs. I am sure this has to do with the fact that they can't produce these bracelets nearly as fast, and supplies are constrained.
 
May 13-27.
Ordered at 3:05am EST.
Space Grey Sports, 38 & 42.

Also, sorry if this has been brought up before, but why no delivery dates between May 9-12? Initial batch seems to be April 24-May 8, then next batch is May 13-27, right? Why the date gap there?
 
Used Apple pay with the Apple Store app, easiest Apple pre-order I've ever done.

June!! 42mm SG Sport. I wanted to try it on in stores to make sure I made the right decision - made the order at 11AM PST. Should not have waited! Didn't think about ordering two different models at 12 then cancelling the one I didn't want. Next time!
I also ordered a separate blue leather loop which ships in May. Pretty unlikely, but I really hope that they might be overestimating these dates with all the cancellations!!
