Anyone know if the updates are only when the flights arrive in Alaska, or when they get in from Alaska to Kentucky, do they update there too?

There are currently (as of 8:16pm CST) 5 flights en route from Anchorage to Louisville, hopefully all with the last watches to be updated?!

ordered 42mm milanese SS at :07 confirmation, no charge or status change yet. :mad:

My order was also at :07, I got charged earlier today (7PMish) but theres been no change in status. The charge itself gave me a slight bit of hope that maybe tomorrow we'll see it all go down.

I'm :07 too, so I'm still hopeful that I get in the Friday batch #⌚️

Received this email just now:

If I read between the lines, that says, "We're sorry you won't receive your watch by 4/24, but it will be there by 5/8. Here's a list of things that might keep you busy until the, even though we know you've already done them."

Not trying to be pessimistic...but just seems a weird 11th-hour communique from Apple.

I just got this same email; has anyone who's been charged and prepping for shipment received this email?
 
This is something new that I’ve never received before! Kind looks like a consolation prize.

Got the same email. Nice to know that being before other people in ordering time doesn't matter. That's great.

Hopefully this is just a standard email. I'll be pretty annoyed if I don't get it Friday and others who ordered after me do.

So, did anyone whose order is preparing for shipment receive this, or just those who haven't seen any movement on their orders? I'm wondering if this is Apple's way of telling us we won't be seeing our watches this Friday? :mad:

On the 4/24 - 5/8 no one in PFS has received this email.
 
I think the email is just for the folks who had no change in status since original confirmation email.
 
Im :10, I saw someone else who had that too. Not sure what to make of it I still had the 4/24 window.
 
Just got a weird Apple email. I'm an :05 order with no charge and still processing.

Wow, if I get one of these, I'll be upset.

Yesterday, my order changed to 'preparing to ship'. Hopefully this changes for everyone else who ordered in the first five minutes. Crazy!
 
42 mm SS Milanese Loop 4/24 - 5/8 batch

I know sometimes preorder get delayed delivery, but what REALLY REALLY tick me off is the fact that many people who have May and June delivery timeline are getting the "Preparing for shipping" status. I have April and May delivery timeline and got zilch.

So it's like those who ordered late actually got it faster. That's some BS from Apple... The new head honcho for Apple retail ****ed up big time.

This is bugging me too. I know lots of people are complaining about celebs - that doesn't bother me. What does bother me are people like the guy who ordered on 4/15 who is Preparing for Shipment. What ever happened to first-come first-served?

Just take my money already Apple!
