Watch ordered 4/24 is finally on my wrist!!! :) Just received it about an hour ago. First impressions are very positive. I used to own a Pebble and this watch feels so much nicer. It's like I've been driving a beat up Honda all my life and somebody just tossed me the keys to a brand new Mercedes. I know $599 is quite a bit to spend on a first gen product but I love this and have a feeling I will own it for a long time.
 
What's the last date confirmed to prepare or ship?

I ordered 5/19 pretty late to the party but a little disheartening that orders today are changing to the same 9-11 days. Hopefully that means mine ships this week

I ordered the 17th. Got the same email today too. Hope there is a ton of movement this week. Nothing really happened today.

Hmm you own a pebble and now the Apple Watch. Sounds like an early adopter. I'm guessing you own this one until Gen 2. But loving every minute until then!

Ordered May 9.
Got an email 3 days ago that that said 2 - 3 weeks. Then got an email today that said 7 - 10 days.
Delivers June 12 - June 17.
Looks like they've been moving up dates quite a bit now. I'm hoping for PFS by the end of this week, early next at the latest.
 
Maybe they are shipping quicker seeing as how they are releasing them in stores soon.
I wonder if history will show that the backlog was due to trying to build up store stock (ie did they siphon off early supply for stores and cause the delay in shipping pre-orders

I work in a mall with an Apple Store and as I walk by every day I see fewer people at the watch tables. I guess there's not much to do there since you can't buy one yet but still the initial surge is over for sure
 
Mine (42mm SS BSB) ... ordered 14May

Initially 5-7 weeks (22Jun-2Jul delivery)
Then 3-5 weeks (15-22 Jun) just now changed to
5-7 business days Delivery on 15June

Going BY the delivery schedule of my since-returned 38mm

7 business days from now is June 10. A 2 day delivery timetable' as experienced on my 38mm' would in fact make it a June 12 delivery.
