I've been following this thread, but hadn't had much to add to the mix.

I ordered a 42mm Apple Watch Sport with Black Sport Band.

My order confirmation e-mail had a time stamp of: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 06:00

I'd been quoted 'Available to Ship 4-6 weeks', Delivers: May 13-May 27th.

Interestingly, the Apple Store order information has consistently said "Delivers: May 12th - May 26th." I hadn't even noticed that the e-mail had said May 13th - May 27th. I'd gotten so used to seeing May 12th in the Apple Store app and in the Apple Store online.

Anyhow, my card was charged early this afternoon and my order has shifted to 'Preparing to Ship.' I can't recall what time. It was somewhere around noon-ish.

I live in Fargo, North Dakota.
 
SS Milanese

Still processing.

Starting to lose hope as everyone else gets their watches.

Sigh. :-(
 
42mm SS BSB

pFS finally!!!!
I was charges 4/29 and was processing until today.
South Florida

I wonder if it would take me that long to get from processing to PFS? I was charged on 5/1 and still processing.

Please clarify your email confirmation time zone/time
 
Those prove what, exactly?

Where are all the VERIFIABLE examples of the same watch, being ordered in the same country, and being shipped at drastically different times?

----------




Exactly.

The only thing we seem to know for sure is that Apple has not missed a single ship date it promised, and has beaten the ship dates for many. Hardly a disaster in my eyes.

My has changed to preparing for shipment:

xx:16:13
SS BSB
Eastvale, Ca

Can you prove to me that every order going to California placed sooner than xx:16 and SS BSB is preparing to ship.

You do not have to agreed to my point. It's ok...

You're confirmation was like XX:00:03 behind mine. I also have the 42mm SG BSB coming. My card got charged today, but it was declined because my bank sent me a new card unbeknownst to me, so an hour after they tried, I found my new card, called CS and got it switched. Payment went through, but I'm still in processing items, so hopefully that decline didn't push me back into the next group of watches.

Incidentally, I'm in Fargo, too! Hope your watch arrives soon and ready to rock.

Does this mean 16 seconds after midnight? I don't believe the store was even up that early. If it's 16 minutes after midnight, I am shocked. I got my email at XX:06:01 and am still Processing

I thought that too. I ordered at :04 but Apple has me as :07:50. I believe because so many orders were coming through, some of us lost a minute or two. I am a space grey 42 STILL WAITING. Nearly everyone I know or who's comments I've read prefers the old way of purchase. If Apple didn't have anywhere near enough stock, which is now beyond any question, I think they should have released to the apple stores as a priority. Releasing to snobby ahrendts retail outlets was wrong. When stock caught up, then release online and to other outlets. If I were Best Buy I'd be nervous as long as Angela is at the wheel. Best Buy to her is probably the semi annual lingerie sale at Bergdorf Goodman.
 
I'm beginning to give up hope. Absolutely nothing here.

Why?

Everything is going in a pattern. Right now SS Sport (both) are flying out of the factory. We even have gotten to the point where SS buckles are starting to move.

IMO. monday - tues, more buckles and leather loops will start. Then hopefully at the same time, SS Links.

Sadly, i think black SS links will be the last to ship.
 
06:18 SG 42mm now preparing for shipment.

Pending charge since 4/27

Shipping to AZ
 
Do you know when the change in status happened? I'm a xx:06:05 order still Processing with no charge. Shipping to PA


Between 2am and 6am Arizona time. I see a lot of California in this batch. Could be because I'm right next door.
