    UK iOS Store app came back to life at about 8.03am. 

     

    Two orders - one for me, one for someone special - successfully placed.

     

    Now for the wait to see what the delivery date will be!

    Got through to on-line Apple Store by 5:02 PM Australia (USA 12:02AM). Completed order for 42mm Space Grey Apple Watch Sport by 5:04PM. Apple Order confirmation by 5:08PM.

    BUT !!! Order shows "Shipment 1 Delivers: 24/4-8/5 by Standard Shipping"

    Thank god for the iOS Apple Store. Bought my watch on my iPad while the Store on my iMac was still showing the be back soon screen. Same thing happened last year when I bought my iPhone 6. Too much computer traffic, or by design to encourage iOS use?

    Looks like every watch is 4-6 weeks now. Luckily I was able to order one with April 24 delivery.

    What......?! Says Black/Black 'Available to Ship: June'?

    What the.....
    That is what I also got for the 42 mm black/black. I cannot believe it. I was at the Apple Store at 12:04 waiting before it opened and first they gave May 13-27 and I was going to do store pickups but it was disabled. What is going on? When I hesitated because I will be in Europe for some of that time, the shipping went to June. This is either fantastic news for Apple as sales rocket or their supples are very low. I decided to pull the trigger and buy and hope it does come after my Europe trip. I bought for my wife the 38mm stainless steel silver/silver with link bracelet. Her shipping time was May 13-27. I decided to just go ahead and buy and we will see if we'll be home when it delivers.

    Delivery Receipt includes $49 for Apple Care. Must have hit that button by accident. If I change the order to remove Apple Care will I lose my place in the Que?

    Same, but got in maybe a minute earlier.  It was May for a second but by the time I put in the cc security code, it had already changed to June.
