I think these flights really are shipments of Apple Watches. I got a shipment notice and a tracking number this afternoon, but the tracking number wouldn't work until about 30 minutes ago. Guess where my watch is? Louisville.

Mine too! Updated at 12:02 am EDT. I'm getting so excited :D ... but I must sleep

UPS flight inbound to Ontario, California from Anchorage...

Six more inbound to Louisville, KY with the first set to land in about an hour.

Don't know if any of these are connected to watch orders but it is fun to speculate. ;)

How do you find this stuff out?

The flight tracking is from FlightAware. The rest is just guesswork and process of elimination using anecdotal information from these forums. For example, I've put together a delivery timeline that I'm fairly confident is accurate (All times approximate).

  • 4:00 A.M. EDT - Orders are loaded on a UPS plane in Shenzhen, China and credit cards are charged. Plane departs for Anchorage, Alaska.
  • 2:00 P.M. EDT - Plane arrives in Anchorage.
  • 5:00 P.M. EDT - Plane departs for Louisville, Kentucky.
  • 1:00 A.M. EDT - Plane arrives in Louisville. Tracking info released.
  • 4:00 A.M. EDT - Shenzhen, China - Lather, rinse, repeat.

My Amex card was finally charged 10 minutes ago!!:) Nothing has changed in my order status in the Apple Store, but hopefully this means that something is moving!!
(38mm SG BSB, ordered at XX:17 in Paris, France, May 12-26 delivery slot given).
 
Do you know if the bulk of the orders get dispersed from Louisville? I live in Illinois and I'm not sure where to expect the package to initially ship from.


I've received two watches in the Chicago area. First one (launch day) came from Tennessee. Second one I got came from Pennsylvania.
 
I have to say the process of tracking flights does seem to make sense in terms of time. Someone posted the flights into the US yesterday from China and I'll be darned if once I got the ridiculously late UPS tracking that it came into the US about the time the flights showed, transitioned around through Louisville this morning and is now out for delivery today.

This is my wife's 38 mm SS BSB ordered on 04.12 at like 2:15 PM EST BTW.

Sadly, my 42 mm SS BSB I bought from someone on Ebay who got in this date range for this thread has yet to ship :(
 
38 mm SG BSB

Little Rock

Still nothing

It's very sad that the SG's are taking so long to ship, I believe the folks who particularly wanted one were looking forward to them in particular and they are being forced to wait longer, which sucks :(

I am an :07 too...because all of that pre-loading, pre-choosing, pre-everything I did the day before didn't work when it came down to pre-order time. I know I lost 2 minutes. Seems the :05s have shipped so unless there is a large group of :06s, we should be next. FIRE ANGELA!

Ask the leather loop buyers how bad they feel for the poor SG's...
