Email of Death...Apple sent out an email last night that almost sounded like crowd control for those still in processing.
All planes are on the ground for today then for any chance at shipping out tomorrow? I'm hoping given the vast amount of those with black sport bands 42 mm that are still in processing (myself lol), this means that they were already in their respective localities already, or that we'll be next week. Just seems so odd, either Apple was prepared for this one to be the most popular, or their MP&A teams really dropped the ball. At any rate, my wife's blue sport is set to arrive tomorrow, so will at least have something lol regardless of where mine's at. Does UPS/FedEx deliver on Saturdays? I also got the EOD last night.
You missed multiple threads in which customers who received said "EOD" were charged and moved to "preparing for shipping"
I got the EOD last night and was charged today and will receive tomorrow. Never give up.
I just got charged today (this afternoon) and am now "Preparing for Shipment" for my 42 mm Black Sport. I did the chat feature with an Apple Employee from the store and I am not holding up high hopes for getting my watch tomorrow. Is it even possible to get something from Japan to my door today?
Maybe Saturday?

Yes it's entirely possible. But your watch isn't made in Japan. This guy was clearly talking crap.

look at my image. screenshot from a conversation with apple customer service chat.
these customer reps are telling people crazy things...I'd take everything they say with some skepticism

Yeah. The guy was talking shiiit

Got the EOD last night. My order status updated to PFS and I got a charge for the watch around 12 CST today.
I love these support chat bubbles 
Apple must have hired lots of crisis intervention teams that normally take care of hostages or earthquake victims
"Where's fluffy ... I can't see her."
"Hush, she will be with you shortly."
This is getting really absurd.
