42mm SG XX:16 still processing

Went to the Apple Store to see what the SG looks like dressed up with the leather loop. Black matches very well and blue looks cool also, see for yourself...

This and the black loop looks great on the SG.
 
Based on the activity over the weekend and today.... we are still in the low 06's... I dont think they would hit 08's this week.

You're absolutely right. They just barely made it into the 6s..maybe 06:10-15 max. It took all week last week to do the 05s. I'm 05:51 and didn't get charged until Saturday and watch is set to be delivered tomorrow. I know everyone is anxious, and understandably so, but thinking they will get to the 08s or 09s this week is wishful thinking at best. My guess is they will finish up the 06s by Friday and maybe get into the 07s this weekend judging by the pace so far. Just my .02

Well thinking like that and doing a minute each week they will not get to the shipmates of people at XX:10 - 20 in time. They have to start pushing more out each week of they want to get in the given window so I think they will start pushing more out but idk.
 
The amount they ship each week will get faster and faster. Less orders per minute as we get further from the initial launch minute and ramped up production.
 
Seems like there was none to minimal activity for the 42s today. #
Virtually none. Basically, ~5:51 - ~6:16 were charged between last Thursday and now.

My new thought is that the bulk of shipments go out on Thursday to arrive on Friday. Launch day, then another big round last Thursday/Friday. Pure unfounded speculation.
 
Been lurking for a week. Keeping me going, but the apprehension is killing me.

I think you will be set in the next one or two days.

We'll see if this bears out; you would hope that when they have the issue with the taptic engine resolved with their Japanese manufacturer that we'd see shipping rates increase, but nothing about this launch has been typical so I'm not confident guessing anything.
 
So in my head I had thought things had moved pretty quickly between until Friday when things slowed down a lot.

Looking back in this thread, many people were charged for orders in the 5:30 to 5:45 range last Monday 4/27. So in the last week, 4/28 - 5/4, they've only covered about 30 seconds worth of orders.

I think we were getting irrationally exuberant towards the end of last week as to the speed this was going. It may well be that us :07 - :15 ers end up receiving our orders in the 5/13 - 5/27 window after all.
 
Now this:

A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

It used to say tomorrow (May 5) now???????… but it's gotta show tracking info soon! Right? :eek:

Yeah, that's pretty much what I've been expecting. It's great that they've moved some orders out ahead of time but it's unrealistic to expect that they'd get everyone though ahead of the original delivery window. Sitting at 10 minutes after, I've been watching this thread with interest but not much excitement. ;)
 
Just like the iPhone 6 Plus, it's going to come in waves. They are probably making them at an increasingly steady pace, with occasional hiccups as they wait for parts to come in from other suppliers or run into production issues, but they also ship batches to multiple countries and so from our perspective it's going to vary. Just how it goes.

Yeah I am xx:06:38 and not a peep. It's as if they stopped shipping after the early sixes. I was hoping for the end of the week. Now I am just hoping for May 13th!

They way things were moving I was excited hoping mine would ship either tomorrow or Wednesday because I'm at 7:05 but it just came to a complete stand still #
 
i can't hold my tongue any more, i am so sick of the ignorant sheep who say, "did they miss your 2 week window? Then you have no right to be upset."

bs.

First of all, apple marketed the watch for ages as being available on the 24th. That was a complete farce, the few that trickled out did not qualify as being available. If you got your order in 4 minutes after their site went live and got stuck with a may 13-27 window, then that is not available.

Which leads to the sheep's second ignorant statement, "it is hard to have so many combinations available. Apple cannot predict the future." more bs. They have teams dedicated to market research. Any company that is going to sink so much money into a new product does their due diligence to ensure they have solid numbers on which items to produce more of.

This is not apple's first time at the rodeo. They flat out screwed up. They finally admitted the tactic engine problem. What they should have done was push back the date of the preorders until they were confident they had enough stock to fulfill the majority of orders. You know, the numbers they did market research on.

Apple, and any other company would love for people to blindly agree with everything their pr department puts out. However we, as consumers spending our hard-earned money, have a right to voice our concerns. And forums like this are a perfectly healthy way to vent our frustrations. God knows our significant others and family members don't want to hear it.

So if you want to blindly follow along apple's marching orders, feel free to go read the posts on 'peeling bands' and 'show your watch face'. But stop telling people how they should or shouldn't feel.


preeeeeach!

Just found I ordered mine at 12:13AM so Im not sure where that puts me 42mm SG
At the right they are going, this means you will be getting yours sometime between June and July of next year ;).

Seriously, you have a long way to go. They've only recently completed orders through 12:05 AM.

I would guess by the end of next week you'll get charged, maybe sooner. In 11 days they've gone through ~ 6 1/2 minutes worth of orders (so in theory they COULD go through another 6 1/2 in the next 11 days). If you take a look at the google doc that was getting updated for a while there was definitely a majority of folks reporting being in the 7 minutes and under group (majority being >50% :)). So I also believe it will start speeding up, but the baseline could be set by what they've already done.
 
I am wondering what type of movement is happening on other forums. I am only an active member on this one.

Hoping for a charge on my card by morning. Cmon Apple!!!

Ordered: 4/10
Time: xx:06:23

Anyone who is supposed to receive their watch tomorrow seeing anything when tracking? Mine is still at Ready for UPS.
 
That does look sick, but I feel like I should get another black one cause I'll already have the black SB

What about this black one?
