Just curious if anyone has received a shipping notice yet for their Apple Watch If they were lucky enough to get an early delivery date (24th). I know if is probably a bit early but worth asking.
thanks

I got my order on on 4/10 at 12:03 PST - at least that is the time on the email from Apple acknowledging the pre-order. And no, as of this evening my status has not changed from Processing Your Order to Preparing for Shipment.
I sincerely doubt if anyone will see that update until at the earliest next week. And even if they do ship, Apple's policy in the past for new releases is that the shipping company does not deliver before the release date. (Now I am sure that there are some stories about a mistaken early delivery - or perhaps a hefty tip to the UPS or FEDEX driver......)
What model/strap did you buy and was it 38MM or 42MM?
Things like that make a difference..
i know what u mean but i really don't think apple would do that. i believe all preorders will be filled and then the rest. but u have to understand ordering now when its so close to june that the stores might get them b4 u.
Oh no I ordered mine over a month ago. I totally understand if someone who orders now gets it after the stores.

Not much apple can do about it.
Think from a business perspective. there is always going to be more people ordering everyday online. what are you going to do trying and wait until people stop ordering online before you bring them into the store?
Or do you mean the people that ordered them in the window of 10-24 Apr should get them and then the stores should start selling them?
The supply chain is so substantial working under constraints like that makes no sense. ... the ones on their way to the stores have to be transited and distributed between stores and such for all we know the watches that are being delivered today started in the shipping from china a week and a half ago. telling stores to hold on to them until a certain date would be stupid...
better to just get them out there and people will figure out for themselves what they want to do.
Honestly... would you be THAT upset if you went into an apple store on the first day of store availability and found the watch you ordered online sitting there? would you not buy it then and cancel the online one?
if u are part of the preorder crowd I'm sure u will get yours b4 then
you are right and you have that option. people are ordering everyday. they can't not put them in stores because people decide to order theres weeks before they go in stores. they said at preorder time that they were trying to get them in store by june. so with them filling preorders from 4/10 I'm sure they were getting there store supplies up as well. so if anyone waited until mid may or now to order must understand that store might have them before they do. its just business
Also, just because they send them to the store doesnt mean you'd get the watch you wanted.. This is why Apple did the online only.. To avoid people buying a watch in store that they didn't actually want, and then returning it later.
By ordering online, you know you'll get the watch you want.. eventually.
Sure they can do something they can let people know before ordering online that watch will be in stores before they receive theirs. By releasing the day they will hit stores. And putting in the same area where they show estimated arrival date. Then the customer can decide.
You well get it soon. Mine started out as June. Then updated to the end of June. And then mine shipped yesterday. So i am 4+ weeks ahead of schedule. They are shipping quick.
