Being in the blue leather loop group....you are in the ONLY group that I feel is as screwed if not more screwed than mine
 
I think we're seeing discrepancies in watch orders and shipments for the following reasons:

1. Amount of orders over a specific period of time
2. Time

Example: a pallet of 100k watches were ordered between xx:02:00 and xx:03:34. A watch for xx:02:34 was shipped first and a watch for xx:02:17 was shipped second.

Now, a pallet of 100k watches were ordered between xx:08 and xx:17. A watch for xx:16 was shipped first and a watch for xx:09 was shipped second.

I'm sure the region plays a role as well.

Over time: A watch ordered on 6/1 at 8pm may arrive before a watch ordered on 6/1 at 10am.

What do you guys think? Makes me feel a little better thinking of it this way.
 
So chiming in...

Yet again, without the time you got your email confirmation, or location, this information is useless.


IMO it has become abundantly clear from reading other posts that time, received isn't as big a deal as people are making it. There are posters with 07,08 times that haven't received their watches and other with later times that have. In my case I am 11.5 hours ahead of pacific time being in Afghanistan and do not really care to narrow it down to the seconds that I received the confirmation E-mail.
 
Shipping soon?? Charge on card during Apple chat.

I received my confirmation email at xx:07 for the 42mm SG BSB, and was told in a chat with Apple that my order was received at xx:06. A few minutes into the chat after apple updated my shipping info with a new address I received a notification of the charge on my card.... Weird coincidence that it happened while I was chatting?? Was it because I changed my address? Maybe it's coming soon?
 
All I can tell you is that I ordered within the first 15 minutes of pre ordering opening up, I didn't pay that close attention to it because I was just coming back off of mission when it happened.

I am within the same time slot of ordering mine and I also have a 42mm milanese loop so hopefully I see some good news in the coming days.

I believe you will, there has been lots of movement today with the Milanese loops, I ordered my girlfriends watch 5 minutes after I ordered mine and hers was delivered on launch day.
 
Thank you

Just an idea...If you are upset about not having received your watch, why not try shifting your focus towards how you're going to feel when that day comes that you have your watch. It's just a slight shift in focus but one that can ease your stress if you let it...or you can continue to stress needlessly if want also...either way, it's just a watch. Lol I may catch hell for this but oh well...have a great day everyone!

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.

Given what's been said about the issues, may be good not to have gotten a watch from the stockpile.

im not stressed. its more of the principle of the matter. dont tell people that the watch launches on this day and then not even have half the watches available to deliver that day. second dont deliver watches of the same type to those people who ordered after others in the same country, and then justify it by saying logistics. what really eerks me is that :apple: products are great and usually they are spot on with things; however, recently they have been things that arent :apple:esque. Now they are catering to celebs and just not being true to the people who have stood behind them since the Apple 2 days and color all in ones. Id say 80+% of people now who use :apple: because its a status symbol not because the product superior in the areas they need. Idk i just dont like how the whole release was handled. Not to mention I spoke to manager in Atlanta Two weeks ago who said that Angela (satan) wants to make every product online order. So you go to the store to see the item and test it then go online and order and have it delivered. The stores will become replacement hubs and product view centers. If that happens it will be a sad day.

Angela Erhandts is an elitist Satan who clearly doesn't understand the core Apple consumer. I can't imagine that Steve Jobs would ever put up with this cluster ****. Time for Tim to take a high altitude review of what has happened here and make accountable those who caused it. Fashion focus or not, there is no excuse for this mess.
 
4-6weeks (Deliever May 13 - May 27th) pre-orders

I will be extremely disappointed if they allow her to do away with launch line ups. Not only did I value these events BUT they always provided invaluable media coverage for the company! Why on Earth would you do away with that! The load of BS about customers be disappointed at launch line ups is just that, BS. If lining up didn't work in the past you always knew you had the option to order online!
