More 42mm Apple Watch Sport Space Grey Preorders ‘Preparing for Shipment’

Did you stay up to preorder your 42mm Apple Watch Sport on April 10 (boy, that feels like ages ago)? A handful were able to get their orders to arrive by the April 24 launch day, while a later batch of orders received theirs the following Wednesday, three business days later (including ours). We’re talking preorders placed within minutes of the preorder going live here, folks.

Now, it appears more April 10 midnight preorders have started to gain traction, as many have now moved into the ‘Preparing for Shipment’ phase. The expected delivery dates still show a timeline of May 21 to June 2, but knowing Apple these watches will probably arrive sooner.

We’ve had our 42mm Space Grey Sport for just over a week now, and we must say the Space Grey colour scheme and black band is awesome. The Sport band is our favourite, more so than the Milanese Loop, Leather Classic Buckle and Link Bracelet. The only band we found a close second was the Leather Loop, after giving all of these a quick try-on at an Apple Store.

Apple’s online store is currently showing the 42mm Apple Watch Sport in Space Grey as ‘Available to Ship’ in July. Has your April 10 preorder for this particular model moved into ‘preparing for shipment’ yet?
