Although I am in the UK (Glasgow) I am still in the 'Milanese Boat', so to speak.

No charge, not status change and Apple confirmed earlier today, that they havent yet tried to charge me. However, here is my glimmer of hope, I got a £1 charge when I ordered the watch. If I now imagine that the watches are already in the UK, it would only take a courier a few hours to dliever it. That means that anything can happen until late Thursday night UK time...

I am keeping my fingers crossed.
 
6:30 am and still nothing. I officially give up hope that I will be getting mine Friday which absolutely sucks. I was a 3:07 confirm.

For those of us on the east coast u.s we could see updates around 930 today.

The final billing / shipping status cycle should pick up once again around 5PM EST today and go to 7PM EST...

Curious to see if this one will finally do it...

Still no sign of charges and no shipping status change.

UPS flight 2997 scheduled to land in KY around 930 am.
 
Ordered at 3:05est in Central PA, right up the road from the East Coast apple distribution warehouse, and no charge or preparing for shipment. Want to chat with Apple, but have a feeling that will do nothing. At this point I expect to see my watch at the tail end of the shipping window.
 
In Order---I think not

First, I am still waiting. Nothing has changed..order at 3:03 Eastern. This should not have been hard for Apple. They announced the product months ago. They decided to take pre-orders two weeks before "launch" day. Now they are not fulfilling the pre-orders. Today is most likely the last day it could ship and reach me in rural North Georgia on Friday. I just don't understand why they want to play this game with their customers. If I was not roped into their eco-system so deep, I believe this created hype and false drama would be my last straw. But they know that I am hooked.
 
What gets me is why not produce a ton of watches? They are going to probably sell them at some point, and they are not huge boxes that is going to take up a lot of space inventory wise. This would prevent everyone from not being productive and hounding apple customer service to see why watch is not charged yet.

I hope today is the day, 42mm SS Milanese, confirmation email received at 3:04am EST. Still no charge and 'Processing'...I requested Friday off for this watch so it would suck not to get it. :mad:

I did call, only because I didn't even have a $1 authorization on my card when I ordered. The CSR was kind, but unhelpful. She told me that my card would be charged and order change to Preparing for Shipment any moment now. I'm still stuck at processing.

That is what my CSR said yesterday....

I am going to give it to about 4 this afternoon before I pick up the phone again.

I don't think calling would help but if you have to, I would wait until after 8pm...From visiting this forum and reading threads ever hour, I noticed most people begin to get their cards charge around 5pm to 8pm...assuming you are on the east coast.

5PM-8PM EST charging window is correct.
