Well, it is May. Ordered an SS Space black with Link bracelet at 3:02 am 4/10. Still processing. Delivery date window was 513-527 even though I hit the store as it opened.

I ordered a 38mm SS with Milanese Loop on April 11...still processing. 3 days ago I decided to order a 38mm SS with black classics band and I am getting it today! Crazy! I still want the Milanese band also.

Still processing, no change, no charge, etc. I'm glad I found this forum. United we wait.

42 SS with BSB.
Order date: 4/10 at 5:15 CDT
Location: Texas
No charge
Still processing
May 13-27 shipping estimate

Probably be a long wait for me, considering how slow the orders are moving.

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!

AA is not responsible for production. Given that Apple seems to have known about the production issues ahead of "launch" date, I think they told AA the situation and said "do your best" - which is what led to the online only, limited stock non-launch, April 24 launch date. Tim Cook rose in ranks because of his expertise in supply chain management, which is what seems to be the problem here.

Yet, I still have to keep in mind that I clicked the "purchase" button knowing that Apple gave me a May 13 - 27 window, which hasn't come yet. I also think Apple could do a better job on communicating as I have to believe that Apple has a better idea of where I will fall in that delivery window than they did when I placed my order in the middle of the night on April 10th. Apple has no obligation to give an update, but some additional communication would be nice, and the lack of additional communication just comes across as arrogant.

I just want my watch!!!!!! I know I agreed to the shipping estimate but I'm still pretty disappointed on everyone's behalf with how slow this roll out has been. Most people who have gotten them have said its worth the wait though! So I'll keep obsessively watching reviews, Unboxings, and refreshing all of my usual pages until something shows up.

 

[Micool1]

Well my CC account information is unavailable at the moment, so I can't even see if I got charged. Fingers crossed!

 

[Jreed013]

Still waiting after being charged early yesterday morning. I surely thought by now it would have shipped

 

[MutantR]

Has anyone as of today received the SS space black with link bracelet?

I also ordered an extra BSB for workouts and it hasn't shipped yet either. Just a few days until it misses the ship window entirely on that one.

I wish we would start seeing the SS w/ Link Bands start to prepare for shipment already!

Agreed.

The moment i see someone, anyone! get a shipment notice on one then I will be ecstatic since I am way early on the SS Link orders so I should be in the first batch of them.

I'm right there with you! I just want them to start shipping to people and then my wait will be all the more bearable.

Why do they do this to us?! I was hoping the status would've changed by now.

These won't deliver on Saturdays, right?

The issue for me isn't entirely the delayed delivery window. It's a popular product. I get that. The maddening thing is the seeming arbitrary nature of order fulfillment. It just doesn't feel right for people to order days after launch receive their watches when there are those of us who ordered within minutes and are still waiting.

 

[Eilene]

WooHoo...My 38mm SS Milanese Loop that I ordered on April 11 just went to Preparing for shipment!!! Sooooo happy!

 

[JaredABurnett]

Think we might get these tomorrow???

Are we seriously still doing this? It is not arbitrary, it is based on:

1) Country
2) Model
3) Time of order

There were a few people who reported deliveries last Saturday. Keep in mind, it was select markets. UPS doesn't typically deliver on Saturday (union), and I doubt Apple paid extra for Saturday delivery.

YMMV

I hear you. I'm on the same boat Space black link bracelet
