How long before a new product release does Apple typically allow official reviews to be released? Do you think we will see them before the preorder?

Not before preorder. Usually reviews are out at most a few days before release. But it could be different with the Watch. I know that many journalists currently have a Watch for testing, because Apple want them to spend more than a week with the Watch before writing reviews.
I'm guessing we'll see a review in Vogue, and maybe Self. I'm sure the WSJ will review it. The question will be whether it will be limited to their tech writers, such as Joanna Stern, or if it will find a review in the Weekend section from one of their style writers. It's the same question for the New York Times and Financial Times.
