Still mystified by the Apple Care pending charge appearing-disappearing-appearing on my credit card. Truly bizarre.

Mine disappeared last night. I saw on the other June thread where it seems like they have not gotten through the 10th order date yet. Mine was late on the 12th. :(

Same here, but from other posts it appears to be a normal practice for Apple.

I expect it'll post again in a couple weeks and then release until I get the actual watch charge.
 
So absolutely no progress today. No one from the 4/11 order date or later has been charged yet?
Not that I've seen (also checked other sites/message threads).

I'm a 4/11 order. 6/22-6/29 no other updates.

Keeping fingers crossed we don't have to wait another month! Yes, yes I know I agreed to "June" when I ordered. ;)
 
4/10 5:10 P.M PST order, went from processing to preparing for shipment in the early AM today, and just switched to Shipped. It's finally happening!
 
Well after nearly a month of waiting and checking these forums, I got my watch. And it is great. I hope you all get yours soon.

Congrats on getting your watch, but when was your order?

As a request to all future posters, if you get a status change including delivery, please remind us of when your order was placed if you haven't posted those details within the last day.

Wish I was in your shoes. My order 4/10 at 8 PM UK time still processing and no sign of a charge. My delivery window is May 27-June 9 (from just June orginally).
 
Our watch production must have dropped off. Very few change of orders for the Milanese this weekend or Monday. Thursday and Friday they swallowed up three hours of (April 10th) orders. 12-3pm EST Thursday and 3-6:45pm EST Friday. That was in two days.Saturday, Sunday, and Monday accounted for my be 7-8:10pm est roughly. Ok done with rant. Holding on with an April 10th 8:40pm EST order that I thought would change yesterday. :-/ Apple please take my money!!!!

There's a possibility that they are being shipped to the U.S. for sorting.

I was over in a megathread that is actively tracking the possible flights originating from Shenzhen bound for Anchorage, then the flights that aim for the cities that process the shipments.

There were at least 9 relevant UPS flights inbound yesterday.

This might explain why the shipping windows just shifted and are so far out. Preparing another mass shipment, and then they have to make it to the sorting facility where they finally get processed and labeled for overnight delivery.

If this is the case, they'd put a safer window of delivery to account for the delays potentially in sending them out of Shenzhen, possible flight delays, and then however long it takes to make it all happen at the processing facility.

Just an analysis.

Yep, and it's terrible seeing that they still haven't finished all of the orders from 4/10/15

I agree.

It's taken nearly 1 month to get through 1 day of pre-orders (not even counting the time between 4/10 and launch day 4/24).

Keeping fingers crossed it was just due to the 'rush' of orders on 4/10, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Just chatted with apple online re Apple Care charge appearing and then disappearing from my credit card. Response was "its normal and your order is doing fine. ". Must say I'm not used to seeing charges appear and disappear from my credit card for things I have ordered online. Still seems very odd to me. 42mmSS ML ordered 4-25 with June 22-29 delivery window.
 
The incessant checking with no updates is getting so disheartening. I received my extra band today (sport black band) and at first I was excited to have that, and quickly realized how it made it hurt even worse.

Part of me is posting this to make sure the thread "still works". It makes me anxious when there is hours and hours of nothing. Particularly after days of zero movement.
 
We ordered the same watch at the same time ^^^^^

Hopefully it's on our wrists by the end of the week.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, it seemed inevitable with the speed they were flying out the 6-10 days ago, before this big stall. I know I shouldn't moan, but it's so close, I've seen some right up to our timeframe getting them.
Guys, keep posting if anything moves so the rest of us know there's a light at the end of the tunnel. And post confirmation times and location!
