How long did it take to get the trackin number after order switched to 'preparing for shipment' ?

I ordered a 38mm SS Classic earlier today and it got switched to preparing for shipment and my card has been charged! God bless!

Sigh. Congrats to you! I hope you love it!
 
I ordered a link bracelet few moments since it was listed at May, you guys know about any 42 ss model that is ready to ship ? I've head that the white sport models are going to preparing for shipment right away.
 
I ordered a 42 mm silver link at 2:04 AM CST (12:04 AM PST) and I have no movement either. I live in the Dallas, TX area. I hope to see movement soon!
 
Well guys I'm very close to leave this thread and move to the june thread :p looking at the recent milanese pictures i don't think it will look good on me like i though it would, already placed my order for the 42 mm with link bracelet with that nasty "Available to ship: June" notice.
 
Now that the 24th has come and gone, I feel somewhat relieved. My watch isn't here - but I didn't expect it would. All I know is that I'm probably going to get it earlier than expected which makes me excited. Now I wait.
 
I've scanned these pages 100 times, and can't seem to find anyone with my watch models. Maybe I'm just bad at reading and searching! ;) I ordered two watches on 4/10, between 8am and 8:30am EST. The models are:

Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Leather Loop (Large)

&

Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with White Sport Band

Shipping date for both is May 13 - May 27. Has anyone ordered these and had them shipped early? I'm ok waiting, since I know I ordered pretty late, but am just curious. And as FYI, I ordered from and shipping to NY.

No movement on mine either (42 SS WSB), still processing, ordered @11:00 CEST. Hope it will change next week :rolleyes:
 
When you say you haven't been charged, do you mean you have a pending charge? Because my debit card has a pending charge from Apple since 22 April but my Black Watch SP Sport is still processing. Is this because there is a problem on my banks side or Apple's? Anyone else in this situation?

Apple typically doesn't charge until they ship. currently I don't even have a pending charge on my cc. this is from my 6+ experience, but the forums have been reading this doesn't mean much, but if I were in your spot I'd try the Ups tracking trick.
 
I saw the my credit card had a preauthorization charge for the watch on 4/22, after the first pre-authorization at the time of pre-order had disappeared. However the status remains unchanged as "Processing" My email confirmation from :apple: was 2:02AMCST.....

Evidence their handling it different then in past.

No. If you see a pending then it means your bank told Apple your CC is OK for the charge. Pendings last for a few days so it may mean Apple is getting ready to ship your watch. It might also just mean Apple wanted to make sure your CC is still good for the purchase. There really is no "bright line" on what a pending means during an inventory restrained launch like this. In fact, in past Apple iPad and iPhone launches the actual charge didn't even show until I had the item in my hands.

Have you gone to try it on? I know it's a bummer if your waiting and it turns out it doesn't fit, but better to know. Or are you too far from an Apple Store?

My friend there is no Apple store in this island :p so I'm going blind with this one and hope that it's possible to add extra links people might sell or apple offering.

I really really like the milanese loop, big fan of mesh bracelets but looking at pictures of big wrist guys it's just too narrow for me BUT I still haven't cancel that order.
 
So no movement on mine. However, my wife's that I ordered like 8 hours later that had a June delivery changed overnight to shipped. Yea. At least we'll have one to play with.
 
Looks like all of us that ordered a 38 or 42mm SS link need to now start our own thread since the Sports. leather and classics are shipping ;)
 
I'm waiting for my 42 SS BSB that has a 4/6 week delivery. Read some reports of people having ordered 42 SS WSB on the 23rd/24th with June delivery, and have already had charges/shipping.

Decided to give it a go and see what happens.....
