Apple Watch preorders began at 12:01am PDT on April 10th.
We got our orders in (Apple Watch Sport models in 42mm Silver) by 12:03am (shipping date “Delivers 4/24-5/8”) using the Apple Store app on iPad (favorited). Our preferred Apple Watch combination wasn’t among the preorder configs (42mm Sport with Silver Case with 42mm Black Sport Band), so Apple got us for an extra $49 per Watch (we ordered our stock launch combination with the White Sport Bands, which will never get used).
We are already getting reports that some Apple Watch models (42mm Apple Watch Sport Space Gray with 42mm Black Sport Band, for one – an Apple preorder config.) have sold out, with shipping slipping into 4-6 weeks territory (late May) a mere ten minutes after pre-orders began.
So, did you get your Apple Watch preorder(s) placed?
Yup… I went in through the app. At 12:02
Ordered 3
38 steel white sport strap. Deliver 24th
38 steel soft pink modern. Delivery mid may
42 sport white sport band … Delivery 24th
At 12:17 all modeks ( with exception of 3 38 models) were sold out !
Delivery mostly mid may to june!
Some july and august( mostly edition )
Sold out in 16 mins !;)
I was on the website at 11:50pm until 12:09 and it displayed that the store was still being updated! Only at 12:10am that it came online and I was able to purchase mine (38mm Steel with Milanese loop)!
I was terribly stressed out! And at one point, my Amex security code didn’t go through and I thought I was dammed! But it worked finally, and got mine shipping between 4/24 – 5/8!
Mine too! I couldn’t check out til 12:10
I had the same problem with my Amex security code! I got started with my order 42 stainless steel white sport band at 3:03 eastern time which had a delivery of April 24. By the time it finally accepted the code, shipping was 5/16-5/24. At least I will get the watch for $100 less than Apple is charging me, because I have a promotional period with Amex to spend $500 in 1st 3 months get $100 back. So I can smile about that!
Some of the Edition watches are shipping in July or August
Yep, 38mm space gray sport. Ships in 4 – 6 weeks (may 13 – 27). I’m hoping this is case of under promising and over delivering, and it’s here by 4/24. We’ll watch and see! Lol!
Go Apple!
Yes! Stainless Steel 42mm shipment est. between April 24th – May 8th. Apple charged my card already for AppleCare $69.

Some idiot is systematically downvoteing every post here!
Lol… How classy of……
Please forgive my son trolldude. He is angry at the world and bought AAPL at $700 only to sell at $500. He hates everyone on this site because he thinks Apple owes him a living. He wants the stock to go down to about $70 so he can buy back in and ride the gravy train like most of us.
He sneaks out from under his bridge nearly every day to bother the nice people on this site and has figured out a way to repeatedly down vote everyone he can. I know how he does it.
Google, Samsung and Microsoft employees. Obviously.
Samsung executives, who can’t sleep at night lol
I’m on the phone now with AppleCare because there doesn’t seem to be any way to pick a band to go with the watch. It simply defaults to the small version of the band. I need the large. I chatted with the chat person (bot?) on the site, and was informed I need to call AppleCare to get the correct band. Still on hold now after 15 minutes.
Which watch? You realize only certain watches have band sizes, and only the 42mm come in either one size or a combo of medium/large. Apple Care isn’t the right group to talk to. You’re wasting your time, and you’ll wait on hold for 8 hours I’m sure. Then they’ll tell you the same thing I just did.
Got it taken care of. Apparently both size bands come in the box, or so says the AppleCare person. Only took an hour to be certain, but I ordered the watch in the first few minutes.
42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Sport Band.
I should have mentioned that the estimated delivery time is May 13 – May 27.
Ah! That’s why they come with two bands. I’ve been wondering.
Which watch?
42mm Space Grey w/ black band and applecare+
Ship: 4/24-5/8
Order confirmed at 3:03 EST placed on app, had saved as favorite
Did anyone get a firm 4/24 ship date??
I got my Stainless Steel Apple Watch with black Sport Band at 5 minutes with an April 24-May 8 ship date. Used the Apple Store app on my iPhone. Web browsers weren’t an option until around 10 minute mark. I started checking other versions and these are the times I logged:
5 min: April 24-May 8
10 min: 4-6 weeks
15 min: June
20 min: July (white edition)
23 min: August (black edition)
Pre-ordered 3 watches when the online store finally went live at 10 minutes past the hour.
38 mm sport, silver/white, 4/24 – 5/8
42 mm sport, grey/black, May 13 – May 27
38 mm sport, grey/black, May 13 – May 27
Next time, the Apple Store app is the way to go!
Ordered my 42mm Space Grey w/ black band. Ship date is late may. Nowhere did they ask for which band length I want (S/M)
nor does the confirmation indicate which length is shipping.
42 mm stainless steel, leather band
42 mm black sport
42 mm white sport
38 mm pink sport
Mid May
42 mm stainless w black sport band via iOS store app. 4/24 – 5/8 delivery. I also ordered MacBook space grey!!! 1.3 GHz. May 8 – 15 delivery.
42mm Space Grey w/ Black Sport Band
May 20 to June 1
Store opened 10 minutes late.
It sure did, but I think that was ISP issues, some people had it and some didn’t.
Already have a charge for what looks like my applecare+, hope that means my watch is close behind. Anyone else see a charge from Apple already?
Yep, I got two – a Sportgray 42mm with black band for me, and a Sport 42mm with white band for my Mom (it will replace her medic alert necklace – which costs $300 for hardware and $20/month subscription – a big savings getting rid of that for the AWatch). Now she can just call 911 from her wrist if she has a problem, and I bet there will be an app for that soon as well.
My order for a 42mm SS w/link bracelet posted at 12:07, with a delivery window of 4-6 weeks (May 13-27). I ordered an accessory bracelet 18 minutes later and the order number had already climbed by 33 million, so Apple’s servers were really cooking tonight!
Placed mine this morning; 42mm Sport model, Space Grey w/black band, with Apple Care +. Delivery time 4-6 weeks here in Germany.
I ordered the 42mm Watch with Milanese Loop band at 5:10 AM EDT.
