Just ordered a WSB SS 42mm as well. I'm in southern NJ and originally ordered the BSB with an email confirmation of 3:03am. Been lurking this thread for a week and have reached my breaking point. Called apple and my bank a few times. Then my coworker who ordered the Sport 42mm SG got his today, so yea. Little pissed.
Got a tip for us?

Yes there were photos yesterday from China and Japan that were confirmed. But no I have not seen any in the States.
Something like 40 or so pages back in this thread. Sorry I didn't save them, I was too pissed off at the time. But yes they were real.
I really don't get it.. Plenty of people have received the space gray Sport, and there's plenty of SS models (with other bands) shipped. I know that the BSB on the SS has a steel needle instead of aluminum, but I really can't see how they can face so severe production issues that they're unable to ship exactly that model. It makes no sense!
If we look at these forums, it looks like only about 15-30% of those who ordered SS BSB with 24/4-8/5 estimate have gotten theirs.
However, while it's crazy that people ordering 3 minutes after pre-order launch doesn't receive on launch day, Apple did give an estimate that reaches well into May. BUT what I really miss from Apple is communication. People hasn't heard anything from Apple other than that EOD email, which for some didn't mean anything, as their Watch was shipped hours later...
Apple KNOW how many watches are preordered, and Apple KNOWS their production numbers. How can't they give a precise estimate? I think most people will be more than happy to just get a confirmed/more precise shipping date? Instead of that crazy range, just write "Estimated shipping: 28/4".
The way Apple has done this is really pissing on their most loyal customers. The ones who stay up late to order their products, is in line for several days, and buy every product they make. Instead, "normal" customers can just go in today, buy a blue Sport Watch with June shipping date, and get it delivered by Wednesday next week? Come on, Apple!

FWIW to those who placed an order for the 42MMSSWSB, I did that as well at about 8:57p EDT yesterday and no movement yet. You'll be the first to know.

Exactly the same boat as you bar 8:04.26 BST. It's so frustrating seeing other get their watches. Life will go on but its annoying to get in straight away and not receive first batch.
Idk what is up. My 42 SS BSB has been processing since the first day with no change. My card has yet to be charged. When will anything happen?!? SoCal 12:04
