So if we got a preparing for shipment notice today we should expect to see the watch tomorrow?
 
Product: 42mm SG BSB
Ordered: 4/10 @ xx:06:xx am
Email Conf: xx:06:43 am
Apple Conf: xx:06 am (no seconds provided, didn't push it)
Delivery: 5/13 - 5/27
Payment: Apple Pay
Charged: 5/5 @ 11:01am cst
Status: Processing
Location: Minnesota

Status changed to PFS about 15 min ago. Now for the most grueling part of the wait, delivery. Debating whether or not I should request pickup at the customer center or wait for the delivery at door. Not sure I want to take the risk of a return to sender situation. But deliveries are always super late for me so might be worth it so I can have it early in the day.

With what I have seen last week (for mine) and people reporting in this forum, YES. It stays prep for shipment until (almost) EOB in EDT. And it sent via overnight by UPS. You can expect shipment changes at around 6PM EDT. That is when most of the shipments processed by UPS. Good luck.
 
What a roller coaster of emotions
...This is getting crazy, I can't imagine how it feels to have a late xx:06 order and know that you just missed the boat by a hair

Thank god this has been an emotional roller coaster for me. And a bunch of OCD checking and freaking out. I'm very impatient.
 
Wait, were any East Coasters charged in this last wave? Seeing a lot of CA in the charge posts.

If I were you, I would wait for the item to be delivered to my home (that's what I did last week for mine). I have seen people complaining [when they tried to change the delivery location or hold it at UPS CC] that their packages was not traceable and been asked to contact Apple for refund.
