Sounds like I'll be waiting until Christmas with my 12:44 PDT order #

 

[satinsilverem2]

I think he possibly meant xx:03:09? His timeframe was the first wave, so that seems more likely.

Yes, I ordered at 3:09 AM. nine minutes after three in the morning. its on the truck out for delivery today. Now I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I read somewhere that if you order another watch thats not as popular like the green sport then it may bump your order up in line. Thats what I did and I swear like an hour after I ordered the second watch my SG 38 got charged and was preparing to ship. I think thats got nothing to do with it but still just coincidental.

Still nothing for me at :06 - hope these reports mean it won't be long. Hope springs eternal. Enjoy your watch!

So, you ordered after a lot of people that still haven't even had their cards charged and it's already been shipped to you...

that's pretty screwed up on Apple's part, good for you, but, hell, I ordered 3min before you and haven't seen anything yet.

No charge, No EOD, nothing... same goes for a lot of people that have even ordered before me.

Charged

CHARGED this morning @ about 3:30 CDT.
According to the text I received from my CC, my payment was processed by at 4:42am EDT, which is more than an hour after I submitted my order - email confirmation at xx:06:36 on 4/10.

No UPS tracking info yet but I'm pretty hopeful it will get to me by Friday!

Thanks to all of you keeping the rest of us informed (and at times entertained)

Best of luck to those still waiting.

Ive been hearing about people who ordered a couple of days after the initial preorder date that have already had their cards charged and preparing to ship. I think that this who process has been nothing short of a nightmare for us. I think Apple really screwed the pooch on this one. This is the first product that Ive preordered from Apple and after all of this I think it might be the last one as well. I really don't know why Apple is going out of order on all of these orders.

This is my 3rd, well, realistically 4th pre-order on an Apple device.

First: Original iPhone, really wasn't a pre-order per-say, it was more of the business I worked with at the time did enough business with our local Apple store they let us in the back and we got our iPhone's before the line opened.

Second: iPad Mini (if I remember right, I've owned a lot of iPad's), pre-ordered, came day of release without issues.

Third: iPhone 4 64GB, I made the mistake of pre-ordering through Best Buy instead of Apple, that was a nightmare caused by Best Buy after waiting a week, I walked into an AT&T store and oh, they had three in stock that got delivered that morning.

Fourth: Apple Watch, an absolute disaster. Just wtf is going on...

 

[dmonnin]

Got mine today. Not bad. It's a tad small but I'd rather have it look like an actual timepiece than a screen on my wrist.

I got mine on Monday. I was initially a little bit shocked when I saw the size, but after i put it on my wrist and wore it for a while it just seemed normal. I feel like I could wear the bigger one but I think it would just feel more noticeable. The 38 def feels more like a regular watch

 

[Evanbrooks889]

It seems like we're in the second wave 5/13-5/27...
When does the next wave start?

I'm noticed :05 is in the second wave. I'm a :16, also second wave.

If I'm not mistaken the 2nd wave lasted for quite a while for 38's before it switched to the nebulous "June." The 42's switched over much more quickly, IIRC.

I'm xx:20:06 and still in the 5/13 group.

I received my 05:32 this morning. I love it. My wife's 06:29 was charged overnight and has been preparing for shipment since this morning. Both 38mm SG. BTW, don't think me a cad. I offered her this one so she could have it first but she wanted to wait for the second one.

 

[BacToMac]

Well, not for nothin', but seeing account after account of people getting charged and shipped with significantly later times is really irksome. I'm certainly happy for those receiving their watches, and in some cases I can deduce a reason that makes sense to my sense of justice, but most of the time it just appears random. I feel like a spoiled child, but between this and the "THE WATCH IS HERE!" email yesterday, I'm left with a really bad taste in my mouth. /rant

Congrats! So glad to see :05s and :06s moving!

Aren't your surprised at the lightness and softness of the watch and band? It's much better than my fuelband and jawbone up

"Prepairing for Shipment"

What exactly does that mean? That it's sitting on the shippers desk and when he feels like shipping it in a month it will come a month from now? Or is it good news and it should ship out today or tomorrow?

it's good news. My green 38mm took about 12 hours or so to go from Preparing for Shipment to "Shipped". I got the watch today (and these status changed yesterday)

That your CC has been authorized, your AW has been pulled and labeled and ready for UPS p/u. Once UPS has picked it up it will be marked "shipped." Shipping should occur w/i 48 of "preparing for shipment," depending on which stage of preparation its at and where its shipping from.

I LOATHE UPS!!!

I am a UPS My Choice member. This provides a delivery window. My window was 1:45-5:45.

The driver showed up at 12:46-the EARLIEST he's EVER shown up in my neighborhood! My wife, who was home, took the kids down the street to play and missed the delivery.

I have class tonight and, because of traffic, it takes an hour and a half to get to school. UPS is not on my way.

So, I have two choices: be late for class or take a chance that my wife will leave the house AGAIN tomorrow. So mad right now.

 

[DNichter]

Just got mine today! Looks incredible. I really feel like it's the best looking one. Shipped yesterday to Philadelphia. 00:04:40. Good luck to everyone!

That sucks!

There's a UPS CC location about 15 minutes from my house. When I got my tracking number yesterday, I had UPS hold at this CC and picked it up at 8am this morning. Otherwise, the driver in my neighborhood doesn't deliver until after 5pm usually. Would this be an option?

I'm xx:20:06 and still in the 5/13 group.

I'm in second wave at xx:33 and the 42mm were in June by then (I one of those on order too). I think someone here said that they're around xx:45 and were still in the second wave.
