Hey guys. I know this post will disappear quickly, but just a random plea:

If you're dropping by to tell us your status changed, please include the following:

--What model?
--When did you order (what email timestamp)?
--WHEN did your status actually change?
--Did you receive the 'email of doom'?

And if you received the email of doom, do you have more than one watch?

Thanks.

--What model? 42mm SS Black Classic Buckle
--When did you order (what email timestamp)? 3:16AM est
--WHEN did your status actually change? Still processing
--Did you receive the 'email of doom'? Yes
 
No sign of my watch delivery on my UPS account calendar, but I live in hope, my wife's watch showed up on the UPS calendar for a Friday delivery on Tuesday morning, despite only getting her "shipped" notification this morning, it seems Apple's confirmations are very slow.
 
As u can see the change in delivery clearly now

Space Gray Sport Black Band 42mm
12:02 Order 12:03 Email Con
Status changed to shipped at 2:01 am PT this morning
Delivery Friday 4/24
Never got the email of doom

Have another watch that had 4/24-5/8 delivery dates but is still preparing for shipment and its SA 38mm White Band Sport for my wife.
 
This is true, it happened with my iPhone 5 and 6+. But I never received an email at 11 at night with a delivery date range on any other Apple product either. That email is what crushed my hope.

Yea, I see the email as a response to all the people that probably hopped on support chat after seeing the news that some orders would be shipping before there original date range.

Just kind of a hey you are still getting a watch and it could still come tomorrow:)
 
Don't hold your breath on anything arriving tomorrow. Glad to see someone in the Tampa area is in the same boat i'm in. I'm really pissed about this due to the fact they let down a lot of LOYAL customers.

I just can't see it that way. I made as much effort as you did, except I overslept a little, so I didn't get my confirmation email until 12:20 Apple Standard Time. If you followed Apple "news" at all (and I'm betting everyone here did), we knew demand was going to outstrip supply; we knew certain models would be more difficult to get, that pre-ordering was going to be a roll of the dice.

I was surprised at the time that shipping dates had already slipped to mid to late May (not knowing it was still just the 2nd "wave"), but you honestly have to step back and see what a whiny lot we are right now. It's embarrassing.
 
Disappointing "Retail Experience"

Got the email of death last night. :( 42mm Stainless with black sport and an :03 confirmation.

Identical situation here in AZ. For a while, this thread was a "virtual stand-in-line on rollout day". Lots of fun and lots of enthusiasm - probably the nicest thread I've ever seen on a MacRumors forum.

However, since Apple retail couldn't keep to a First In First Out model, the "retail experience" falls way short for many of us. I know I'll get it "sometime" but am going out of town 4/25 for a week.

Very disappointed.

one thing i don't get though is that my wife's watch was the first of the two to go to preparing to ship by one day sooner too, and bot watches are charged to my card yet hers apparently hasn't shipped yet, i believe it will be shipped and i just won't get that confirmation. theres no way heres was preparing first and hasn't shipped yet

Email confirmation 12:02 am
SG Apple watch sport 42mm
