My order was quoted 4/24-5/8 for the 42mm space gray sport watch. I am disappointed to see that others with shipping dates in later windows have received shipping status etc... I am curious if anybody else is in the same position? I reached out to Apple and of course they could not provide any answers.
Curious why 42mm Sport Space Gray watches in the mid-late may delivery window are shipping before people with the 4/24-5/8 delivery window. Anybody notice this? My order from 3:03 eastern is still processing and has a ship date of 4/24-5/8. Yet this picture clearly shows a later delivery getting bumped up. Also, Apple's letter in the email today totally put me off regarding the order. I reminded that I will not get on the 24th. How does the forum feel about it?
I think it's much better to over estimate the time it'll take to get a product and then deliver early if at all possible then the other way around which would just piss a person off!!! For whatever reason Apple has more on hand then before, or they've ramped up production somehow. Maybe some people canceled their order, whatever the reason, does it matter? Just be happy you'll get your watch sooner.
This really bothers me because mine is supposed to be delivered on 4/24 - 5/8 and it is still processing. Apple needs to get this straightened out soon or I will cancel my order. This is ridiculous.
You would think that apple would at least send update notices, to those who are still getting orders being processd (two weeks for processing) but evan when you call they just repeat what your initial email said)
Probably lots of cancelled orders after people preordered, checked them out at a store, thought about it some more, then cancelled.
There is a lot of anecdotal evidence this happened. But...they cancelled, then ordered a different model, often an upgrade.
I did this. My wife thought she'd like the silver/white sport so I ordered that right after the window opened. She saw that combo in the store, and changed her mind to the grey/black sport. I cancelled after checking it out in the store...then reordered the one she wanted.
I pre ordered two sports watch on 04/10. Both were showing "ship in June". Yesterday one is showing shipped with a tracking number to be delivered on 04/24. The other is still showing June. I had similar experience with iPhone 6. It shows shipping in Nov but I got it the next week after placing order.

Space grey seems to be the one that is in short supply. It would be interesting for someone to do a survey of what model, order time, and estimated delivery time.

I ordered a 38mm space gray/black band Sport at 12:13am from the app on my phone. I got my confirmation as 12:16am. It's now 2:17pm Pacific Time on 4/27, and my account hasn't been charged, and my order is still showing as "Processing" with an estimated delivery of May 13-May 27.

Pushing is the preferred method.

Both currently show June.
Apple is doing the best they can to manage the situation. People need to relax.
IF THEY WERE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN, THEN THEY ARE IN TROUBLE
THEY CANNOT EVAN UPDATE STATUS (AFTER 2 WEEKS, THEY CAN AT LEAST INFORM WHERE YOU STAND ON THE LIST
Still no love from my SS link bracelet
Ditto, 12:02am order here.Kind of annoyed because we're the highest value buyers after the Edition ones, but other models are getting the accelerated delivery treatment first.
