Sorry to say it guys. but I appreciate that I'm not alone stuck in processing. Hopefully ours process asap :confused:

With iPhone deliveries, it always feels like my iPhone is the last one to get shipping notifications. I think it is normal for the orders to get processed in a seemingly random order, even though Apple knows which ones will actually be delivered on time.

My guess is that most of us will get our watches on Friday (although I do worry about the fact that this is the first time Apple has given date ranges rather than exact dates).

They gave a date range for the new MacBooks too, luckily mine arrived on release day ... but, I AM worried this time
 
My 42mm Milanese (with 12:02 am PDT 4/10 confirmation) now has a UPS tracking number for Friday delivery. Coming from Mt. Juliet, TN. I'm in Arkansas.

Timeframe: Yesterday my debit card was charged. About 24 hours later, UPS My Choice shows the tracking number from Apple. Apple order page still says Preparing for Shipment. No tracking info yet from Apple...only from UPS. (Moral of this story: Sign up for UPS My Choice!) :)
 
is 12:04 is still the cut off time, did anyone got an update for orders placed after 12:04 PST?

I don't think it has much to do with the exact time of your order. These things are being moved from the factory to shipping facilities across the world. It would be incredibly inefficient to do it based on order time.

I think it's a combination of being in the first wave (4/24 - 5/8) and where they're moving it to.

That's what logic says. The Apple nerd in me is anxious. Trying to let logic rule. #

my buddy got the exact same watch as me. His has processed, mine hasn't. Only difference is that he got order confirm at 3:02 and mine was 3:07.
 
Has anyone gotten a FedEx confirmation?

It almost seems like the ones being processed and notified currently are all UPS. Almost all UPS tracking numbers start with 1Z.

For those that got confirmation, pay or standard cc?

Interesting theory. Only those who have done the UPS work-around can see their shipping information. Not sure that the FedEx one works. I can't do the UPS work-around because my shipping address is my office. It identifies it as a commercial address and doesn't work.
 
I ordered the 42mm SS w/ Milanese band. I have my UPS tracking number as of 3:40pm CST. Watch will b delivered on Friday.

3:02 am order in Maryland (to be delivered to my office in DC). My Amex (via Apple Pay) was charged this afternoon and my order status has been changed to Preparing for Shipment.
 
:09 Still on processing.

Banging my head on the wall. I really ought to chill and not be so paranoid that it won't show on Friday.

I feel your pain. I miss lining up all night. At least I knew what I was in for. I always have to do that with iPhones anyway because of my Verizon UDP. Preorders are a mixed bag.
