“You’re going to have to wait to get your Apple arm-candy fix,” Barbara Kollmeyer reports for MarketWatch. “That much appears to be clear as the indication is that preorders of Apple Inc.’s flashy electronic timepieces, which kicked off Friday, won’t be shipped to eager customers until sometime this summer.”
“Originally Apple had set an April 24 delivery date,” Kollmeyer reports. “But according to the Apple Store app, most of the watches won’t be available until, at the earliest, June, and at least one Apple Watch won’t be available until July.”
Kollmeyer reports, “If a three-month delay for the 42 millimeter space gray model doesn’t appeal to you, your best might bet might be the other Apple Watch models, which are currently showing shipping dates in four to six weeks.”

MacDailyNews Take: With each report, it becomes clearer that not only using the iOS Apple Store app, with a favorited Watch, at exactly 12am PDT, but that choosing a Silver 42mm Sport with White band and then pairing it with a $49 Black Sport band bought later offered us a better chance than choosing the preorder config Space Black Sport with Black Sport Band which, as we guessed, would be quite a popular choice. (We were concerned about scratching the anodized Space Black to reveal silver aluminum with wear and simply preferred the contrast between the Silver and the Black band better.)
