Apple Confirms Apple Watch Preorders Will “Arrive Sooner Than Expected”
Just today Canadian Apple Watch preorders with May and June preorders started to move into the ‘Preparing for Shipment’ stage, meaning a faster delivery window than expected.
Apple has confirmed to BuzzFeed News that Apple Watch orders with late spring/early summer delivery windows are now shipping ahead of schedule:
“We’re happy to be updating many customers today with the news that their Apple Watch will arrive sooner than expected,” an Apple spokeswoman told BuzzFeed News. “Our team is working to fill orders as quickly as possible based on the available supply and the order in which they were received. We know many customers are still facing long lead times and we appreciate their patience.”

Not all orders are in the clear though, as Apple has acknowledged some customers still face “long lead times.” But this is a positive sign.
So there you have it. Your Apple Watch preorder will come sooner than you think, just be patient. In the meantime, check out these Canadian Apple Watch app screenshots to keep you occupied while you’re waiting.

Oh boy. And here’s my order (42mm Stainless w Black Sports Band, ordered 5 minuted after preorders launched) still stuck in Processing. Grrr….

SS Link with still a may delivery, 12:03AM preorder too 🙁
42 mm blk sports band 3:06. Still processing wtf pay more wait longer!!
Same boat here!
Must be a big boat cause I in it too.

“To Keep you occupied while waiting!”
Here is a btter idea
What about going to sleep so that time moves faster? 🙂
Or smoke marijuana so that we can lose track of time completely!
And after we wake up we discover a yellow note on the door says that UPS came while no one there and the delivery is rescheduled for Monday!!
Thanks for your alternatives, will consider them 😉
No please
Don’t consider them
We need you awak to update us
With the news ????
From where the product will be marked
as shipped ?
Toronto?
Drink beer and watching Montreal vs Ottawa to take up my time while waiting for my watch.
Damn how waiting for apple product
Make me crazy !
Is there a treatment?
Haven’t receive the shipping confirmation since Monday 🙁 Still preparing for shipping…
Same here wondering if were going to still get it on friday….
I live in Quebec City and im not sure if Apple considers it a “big” city or a rural one… I think I’m going to convince myself I am not getting in on Friday and otherwuse, surprise ! Still a bummer tho…
Update : just received the shipping confirmation !
Same here ! Look like were gunna be getting it really soon ????????

check with ups. track by reference, change the shipping window to the 24th reference number your phone number
macrumors has confirmed what i received as a email. Many more people are getting this same email so I’m assuming and order of the Stainless Steel won’t be getting theirs on the 24th, even if your order says 24/5-8/5.
