Ordered my 42mm Steel Black Sport Band on the 10th at XX:09:03 and got the May 12-26 timespan. Just went into preparing for shipment today an hour ago.

Cannot see the charge, but it can usually take a day or two when buying from abroad (using a forwarder in Germany).
 
So you ordered three? I thought it was 2 per customer?


Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, I ordered three. Two for myself, to pick the size I prefer, and one for someone else. All were bought on the same Apple account with the same credit card. I had no idea there was a limit.

So far we have the 38mm sport with blue band. The 38mm sport black should arrive today... and the 42mm sport black still shows 5/13+
 
For those who have received your watch, from when it said preparing for shipment, how long did it take for your watch to ship?

My 05:32 SG Sport changed to shipping immediately, shipped within the hour, arrived this morning. My 06:29 was charged overnight and has been preparing for shipment since this morning.
 
Thought I would share that the status for my 42mm Milanese with a delivery date of May 13 - May 27 has now updated to 'Preparing for Shipment'.

That's great to hear! My 42 MIL in the same window is still in processing. I had a 12:44 order confirmation. Was your card charged before you went into preparing for shipment?

Those of you getting "shipping immediately" notifications, are you getting overnight deliveries? Did you pay for express shipping?

Yes everyone get's overnight delivery. You don't have to pay extra. If you see preparing for shipment it's very likely you'll receive the watch the very next day.
 
UK here 38mm SS black sports band ordered on the 26th 3-4 week delivery time. Has just changed to prep for shipment cc charged.

Glad to hear it for you, but this kind of concerns my suspicions, that somehow watches are being allocated on a per-country basis through some fulfillment scheme. I ordered the exact same thing in the U.S. for my wife on 4/12, a full two weeks before your order and it has yet to change from Processing. Utter bullocks :mad:

I'm a patient person, but this kind of variance in fulfillment of orders is just madness...

Madness?? THIS.....IS......SPARTA!!!!
 
Why is it that everyone who says they had a 42mm Milanese with a 5/13 - 5/27 ship, never posts their confirmation email times or location? I call shenanigans.

42mm Milanese XX:30 - no movement
38mm Black Modern Buckle XX:04 - no movement
Location: East Coast USA
 
Does anyone know what the order of events is?

I was charged this morning and still only at processing items. I thought you were charged at the same time as preparing for shipment? I'm hoping I can get it by friday.
 
So disheartening to see people with June shipments arriving before May 13-27.

42mm SG Sport
April 10
XX:05:25

Still processing..... Bummer.
 
anyone getting this now on their apple account when they try to check the order status? Yesterday I got it was unavailable now this. Maybe itll be good news. Somehow I doubt it; but, I'm hopeful for anything.

I get the same thing through the Deliveries app, but in Safari it seems to work. I also got a little pumped that maybe it means that something will change soon, but it still remains at processing :mad:
 
I'm trying to ween myself off the forums so I don't keep getting annoyed and more impatient....is their some sort of patch for this? Or perhaps a band that you can wrap around your wrist to ease the withdrawal symptoms? ;)

If only such a device existed and could be pre-ordered and delivered in a timely manner. Surely such a device would solve all problems the device you mentioned caused.

Getting that as well. :(
