Well, this has been a journey, and I've thoroughly enjoyed following everyone's posts. My 42mm SS w/Link Bracelet ordered on April 10th at 00:07 with a delivery window of May 13-27 arrived at noon today here in sunny Sacramento, CA, after crossing the U.S. last night from Middletown, PA to Louisville, KY to Sacramento, CA. I have no idea where it traveled before that, but it made the 3,000 mile trip overnight to my home.
Once the order changes from Processing to Preparing for Shipment you can expect an actual shipment within 24 hours for this rollout. Apple is shipping Next Day Air as it tries to catch up with back orders. It really looks like the floodgates have opened, and this should be an exciting week for a lot of people.
Expect to spend a good amount of time configuring your watch using the Watch app on your iPhone. I recommend during setup you select the option to NOT install all Watch compatible apps installed on your iPhone, but rather the Later option to manually select them in the Watch app after you have a chance to play around with your watch awhile. If you select the All option, you'll be waiting a long time while it writes everything over the Bluetooth connection, only to find many of them are pretty lame at this point. Adding later lets you try each one out individually to decide whether it works for you.
I'll continue to follow this forum, but for now my focus will be turning to playing with my new toy. Enjoy!
