Hrrmmph - ordered mine on 26th and still showing as June dispatch, although it was the 42mm black Sport which it seems is rarer than hen's teeth

My 42mm Space Grey Black Sports dispatched last night. Ordered at 08:04:40
Being delivered today.

So a report on Engadget seems to suggest the delays are partly due to issues with the taptic engine during production, and a late switch of manufacturer. Apple are falling back to the seemingly generic June shipping date as that's when they think production will be back fully on track.

I believe that people are just looking at the header information in their confirmation emails.
I think this is also where the discrepancies are appearing in terms of those with 'later' times getting them before those with earlier ones. If we are just basing it on email times, then that isn't necessarily your actual position in the order queue since it depends on email servers etc.
It makes less sense that they are randomly picking orders to fufill rather than going in proper order.

Given it a good battery test today. Took it off charge this morning at 5.40am and have 4 email accounts, texts, whatsapp, 2 short calls, shown it to colleagues, ran PowerPoint app for ten mins and done some fitness with heart rate. Also keep looking at it

The battery is absolutely fine. You would have to be doing something really serious not to get a days use from it.
How many of you have taken it in the shower/bath with you so far? I did on the day i got it which in hindsight/the shocked reaction of a mate with one might not have been entirely sensible. It came through fine though. I cant imagine why you would keep it on in the shower normally though. It gets so wet and icky under watches when you have been in the shower.

Has anyone read the component cost sheet of the apple watch? http://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-watch-costs-under-85-to-make/ I know this is very simplistic and doesn't cover R&D etc but I was surprised at how cheep it was to manufacture
