my credit card was charged first for the charger cable then was updated in apple order status preparing for shipment. probably same process for the watch then.
Pending Charge on Card
Just checked online banking and noticed a £599 drop in available balance, 42mm SS with Milanese Loop ordered with date of 12th May- 26th May ,
How long after noticing a pre-authorisation will it be until the order status updates ?
I'm in the UK

My original date was may13-27th, white 42mm sport. Got charged today and status shows preparing for shipment.
Exactly the same watch I have, I got all excited when I first saw this post, thanks for sharing that nothing happened.
maybe we are done with excitement for the day. hopefully something happens tomorrow then
If it is anything like yesterday (and the day before that) there will be more excitement in about an hour

my excitement was ruined yesterday by having a apple charge that turned out to be the watch charger
hahaAs soon as anyone with the Space Black SS Link notices a charge or change in status let me know immediately haha. This is what I get for ordering the unicorn of watches.

How so? Just more marked as shipped or tracking numbers or ?

Haha, same happened to me.
Picture This ..
Apple .. why did you make the 42mm SS Link Bracelet your poster picture boy when you didn't have any for delivery on 4/24 to begin with ?
The Pre-Orders went so wrong specially with this "bit expensive, yet affordable" price range if I may say so ..
You begin with spending more than the cheaper version (Sports Watch) which were ordered the most and less than the ones which would be bought the least (Edition Watch), however you get less precedence over the cheaper ones. I'm pretty sure they must have got an idea with some statistics around Favorited items in our Apple Store App. Probably the should have run a survey way before making adjustments to their orders to the suppliers. You should know like a car company what sells the most & the least - Hatchback, Sedan, SUV, Truck and then go to assembly line.
We pick up these in blind faith, with try on appointments starting the day of pre-orders. So like everyone, I was buying a $999 watch, burning the midnight oil without even looking at it before ordering. Fine this happens with iPhones as well, but it's a matured product. So Try-On should have been a week before Pre-Order if I may say.
Now, I don't buy that Apple won't have been aware that this particular model (42mm SS LB) won't be shipped on 4/24. If you knew that some of your models had limited availability or no availability. Then allow users to order in the morning instead of waking pre-order night and rushing to know when ordered that "Oh No.. I'm not getting it on 4/24".
I see no one claim that they are getting some of the uber expensive Apple Watch on 4/24 itself. It more seems like a Apple Watch Sports launch for 4/24. (if you wanna see it this way)

Looks like UPS99 is landing in AK soon. If the switch to Preparing happens around the time of an AK arrival, we will see an update soon.
If it's when it hits KY, well, later.

I've been at Processing all along.

They don't get to Kentucky until like 11:30P-1:45A.. It's when it hits the US. I think this is when the watches (or any inventory) is passed on from Supply Chain to distribution (which is different.) So once they "click" over from supply, is when all of our stuff starts updating.
