Mine just changed to preparing for dispatch, I'm in the same date bracket as you

Hopefully we'll be getting them much earlier than the date they quoted

Not yet

Hmmm, I haven't seen any activity on my account yet, but the credit card I used to order is actually going to expire on May 1st, and I ordered through a guest account. I should probably phone them before then and see about updating my card details. Would hate to have the order cancelled.

Just had the change to 'Preparing for Dispatch also on 'Apple Sports Blue' - June date for dispatch though........ FINGERSSSSSSSSS crossed.....

Sounds like all the less popular choices are going out sooner than expected. My backup choice was a Sport Blue but I got a Grey Sport as it happened. Hopefully tomorrow or Friday will see movement!

General consensus on macrumours is that once it's preparing for dispatch it means that it's in the U.K. at distribution centre and should move at some stage today, has anyone here had the Email Of Death ?

Email saying that they are working on your order ?

Mine is dispatched now, using 'UK mail'.
Its like christmas eve!

prettyboy81

Mine dispatched aswell, haven't checked with who yet!

With UKMail & awaiting collection. Fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow.

arch_stanton

Both of mine dispatched about an hour apart by UK mail. One shows estimated delivery 23/4 and the other 24/4 but I assume they'll both get to Belfast tomorrow

Renmai

Just dispatched also.... WOOOOO HOOOOOO

Clem H Fandango

UK Mail have an absolutely horrendous reputation, why Apple chose them is beyond me. Hoping it gets delivered ok though.

Creamy Goodness

anyone with space grey get a shipping notification at all yet? also what dates were you originally given.

Space grey 12th - 26th may here, nothing yet

Renmai

Spoke with a friend in Apple and he says that the more unpopular watch colours shot up the dispatch list.... Apparently Blue was one of the least popular. Space Grey and Black were very popular purchases so are taking longer to dispatch... he said the dispatch dates are a combination of order choice and time order, not just the order time.

I was initially in for 'June' delivery for Apple Sports Blue and got tracking that its been collected by UK mail at 11.45am.... Delivery for tomorrow... :-)

Whats the story with parcel motel and signatures? Says on the email a sig is required.

Bazzmatazz

Fantastic! My 42mm, Stainless Steel, White Sports band has dispatched. It had been showing 4-6weeks with a May 12 delivery at the earliest.

squonk

I'm space grey too. Nothing yet.

FourFourRED

Cancelled my space grey sport watch.

I've gone to stainless steel 42mm w/ white sports band.

Ships June. Let's hope that is sooner like the rest

Don't worry, PM will sign for it.

tonylee

having a debate with myself here whether to cancel space grey sports and go with sports blue band. Ordered it the 10th April and still down for June delivery. Hard to work out the plus and minus of dropping back order date against the apparent availability of sports blue. First world problems....

Renmai

Is anyone going to collect at the Parcel Motel Depot in Dublin?

User guide up for anyone who wants to be ready....

Balls. The Watch App store doesn't work in Ireland, will have to use a UK account.

I'd expect to see most or all of the watch enabled apps in the Irish store too as a lot of them are phone or phone+watch apps.

Yeah if you search the regular app store, Watch supported apps show a little round icon saying apple watch support but it is annoying not knowing which apps are watch supported.

Has anyones UKmail tracking gone passed 'Collected' yet? I was talking to someone earlier who works in TNT in Newry and says that UKmail have no depots in NI so all packages will have to go to one plant in the uk in the morning, then get shipped over to NI for distribution (which may not be done by end of working day friday). So with Parcel motel sorting and delivery added on top, the chances of having tomorrow are almost nil.
