I'm not all that good with following this website but I noticed earlier there were a ton of flights coming from China to Anchorage. Now I see a plane heading to Chicago from Anchorage. Is this maybe a plane with some Apple goodies on it and good news for people who live in Illinois?

I'm still waiting on my SS 42mm milanese loop and my confirmation is at xx:13. Haven't seen too many people in here from the US comment on getting this model and size.

All of you tracking flights do realize that there are other things on planes beside Apple products right?

Im obsessed, but that's going a little overboard...

Totally agree that this is a grand assumption that this would be Apple goodies but hey it doesn't hurt to hope! I thought the same thing that it is overboard but kind of cool to get an idea how stuff is getting moved around.

Well, then let mine be on one of those! LOL

Not expecting mine until mid May at the earliest.
 
Got my e-mail at xx:11 so I don't suppose I will see my :apple: watch until May :(

Oh well... May is in a few days.. Given the current situation I probably won't see it until May 27.. that said however, I'm doubtful that Apple will even deliver this by the 27th.. but then again they have always gotten everything else in time.. I am just not all that optimistic this time around. But it is what it is....

Were you bumped up?? My order was XX:04:56 and I was charged last night, but my order is still processing. Delivery date still says May 13-May 27

My date was not moved up according to the website... That is what the chat rep told me....

I still have the may 13-27 on the website!

Try chatting up a rep and see what they say. Best of luck!
 
So I ordered a 38 SS white band on the 10th in the evening. My confirmation email has the 13th to 27th window. I figure since I ordered so late in the day (it was about 8:30 pm pacific time) that I should consider myself lucky to get it by the 27th. Oh well such is life, I was sick :/
 
Tuesday 28 April 2015 General Impressions

Is is just me, or does it seem like today has had relatively few CCs charged and relatively few watches shipped?

I'm making this generalization from my admittedly subjective impressions of this forum (and a few others).

A possible explanation would be those lucky people whose watches have shipped simply stop posting here and thus there is less activity in general. But I'm wondering if we may have hit a lull in charges/shipments as Apple manufactures more watches?

Any thoughts or opinions?

Just pure speculation on my part: the watches manufactured prior to the launch/previously stockpiled have all been delivered, and now they are shipping out product at the rate of manufacture. I'm guessing that it'll be pretty slow going from here on out. I'm a 42 mm SG xx:06:09, and I would be lucky to get a tracking number by Thursday.

Well stated. Although you say it's just speculation, it seems logical and well reasoned. Of course, for the benefit of everyone on this forum, I hope we are both wrong! :D
 
42mm space grey
xx:13:10amEST.
May13-27 group
S. FL.
I was thinking to cancel then reorder a 42mm sports watch with any color watch band, to get the watch faster; then order a extra BLK band but their are only two 42mm space Greys($399 and $1100) to go with my 6 Plus.
This was my first preorder and I did learn a lot, I watch my clock from mid-night until 2:57am with my PC and apple gift card in my hand. I think I refresh my PC like 100 times, no Apple Store until 3:10am and the 42mm space grey was already in my favorite box, and check out was a breeze until I started to enter the gift card numbers. Less than three minutes to get my order in and out, it just life. It's good to see some people from the May 13/27 getting the watch really early:)
 
There were some people who had the 4/24 - 5/8 delivery date. Those ones are being shipped to people. Also, 38mm Milanese Loop have been shipping earlier (I think). I can't confirm that.

I have yet to come across and verify, that a 5/13 - 5/27 42 Milanese Loop has shipped in the U.S.

Secondly, I have yet to confirm a 38mm Modern Buckle has shipped at all anywhere yet.

I had those dates and my Milanese loop will be here tomorrow.
 
Got charged 5 minutes ago, 42 space grey sport, email time xx:05:59, Oklahoma, no apple care, no Apple pay. Still processing on the order page
 
I had those dates and my Milanese loop will be here tomorrow.

What dates? May 13th - 27th? Which model did you order? And what time is your shipment notification? U.S?

If I had to guess, your 42mm and below XX:10:XX.

We are at XX:30:XX. So I'm pretty sure we got a while to go.

Been stalking this thread for a long time now (ever since placing my order). I ordered on launch night using apple pay, confirmation email arrived at 2:11. SS with black sports band. I had already placed it in the cart but to no avail it wasn't there when I logged into the app.

Well I just received a charge notification on my credit card via apple pay. And the order is now showing preparing for shipping.

I guess patience is a virtue. Hang in there everyone who hasn't received your watch they will get to you before May 27th!
