Did you receive any notification it was going to ship prior to receiving it today? I ordered roughly the same time as you :02 and haven't received any updates.

You can feel however you choose to feel. I'm telling you, and anyone else who read this, what is reasonable vs. unreasonable.

If you are set on having unreasonable feelings regarding something that has never been promised to you... that's your choice. But in the words of Frank Underwood: "Let me be clear: You are entitled to nothing."

If your life is so good that you can afford to be "DISGUSTED" because you failed to get an expensive luxury item on the first day possible - then the reasonable emotion that should be predominant is "GRATEFULNESS".

Stop being so sanctimonious on a message board.

The bottom line is that Apple obviously was not prepared with the space grey watches, and it's going to show today. One would think SG with a black sports band would have been predicted to be the most popular model, but someone dropped the ball and some people are angry about it. People work hard for their money and have a right to be irritated when they spend it and things go wrong.

Fine. Be irritated. But don't act like these are real problems. (And Apple still hasn't failed to give you your watch on or before the promised 4/24-5/8 window - so you literally have nothing to complain about yet).

If everyone is so outraged, cancel your order, and go on with your life without an Apple Watch. You know... the same way you've lived every day of your life up to this point.
 
still waiting on my order for 38mm placed at 3:03:49 est. Everyones updates gives me hope! hopefully ill get charged soon.

Are you here on the forum just to berate people? Get a life and take a chill pill. It doesn't matter.
 
I have a 38mm SG and I recieved my confirmation at XX:02.
Still processing. Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm in Canada...

Why do you come to an early adopters forum during launch time if you are so offended by the way we act then?

I am an early adopter as well. And I don't begrudge anyone the ability to spend their money on a fancy product. I'm doing the same thing. I came here for information.

The difference is that when things don't go the way I had hoped... and I have to wait a few extra days, or weeks, or months... I choose to have some perspective.

The spoiled entitlement found by several people in this and other threads, is embarrassing to me. And apparently none of the people that are posting these things have the shame that I feel on their behalf.

If you are happy with the way you feel about your first world problems, please feel free to ignore my posts.

I agree. It doesn't matter. That's the point I'm trying to make.

Remember... I'm not among the angry people in this forum that are calling for people to be fired and complaining that my week has been ruined because I have to wait a few more days for a luxury item.

I commented because I was surprised by the lack of self-awareness on this internet forum. That was clearly my mistake.

I do. I stopped feeling guilty about being successful long ago. I worked hard, and was rewarded, and I am going to fully enjoy the fruits of my labor, as are many people here. Also, the fact that apple KNEW they weren't going to be able to meet demand on some models IS worth complaining over. No company I ever heard of in 2015 has software that can't pretty accurately predict the orders made and stock available. The fact is that Apple knew they weren't going to meet the demand on some models, even if ordered within the first 5 minutes, and so they made it seems like EVERYONE might get theirs later with the "delivery window" tactic.

In 2015 if your computers can't pretty closely predict the orders and the amount you will be able to manufacture, then you are using software from 1995.

Has anyone in the US moved out of "Processing Items" with a later order time than this? ^^^

Anybody who has should post their data in this format, so we can keep track of how far they're getting with shipments.
