I wonder if all those planes last night were for in store pickup stock... Im keeping an eye on apple store site today.
 
Well, a few days ago, this happened. The charges didn't start to show until near afternoon.

For a few days we've woken to a bunch of people with charges and updates overnight. Today zippo. Nada. To be honest it is the first time I've felt disappointment with the process.

Awe, don't worry, you'll get your watch in 20 or less days. :) It's only three more weeks...

Yea. This really sucks.
The latest shipment I saw was a 07:27. I'm 07:28 so I was hoping to wake up with a charge. But nothing.
 
Confirm xx:07:28

Charged 05/06 22:40EST

Status: Preparing for shipment

My location: upstate NY

Was also hoping you 7's were going to wake up with good news today!!!!! Still optimistic that today can be your day with the 8's either today or tomorrow as well!!!! I'm in the 9's so hoping the time comes soon

Ordered: 4/10/15
Time: XX:09:10
Delivery: May 13-27
Payment: NOT Charged
Location: Raymond, NH
 
Raleigh/Durham delivery today, xx:09:xx confirmed order

Correction, the USA is only in the early :07s and naturally there will be a few stragglers from the previous times. It's not all nice and single file as we can all see. You're a late :06. You'll see some soon, I wouldn't get upset just yet.

Yeah, so much for proper time-based fulfillment. Absolutely shocked, since I'm a 09er. I'm guessing location within the states is now playing a huge role?? All times below = Eastern.

Model: Sport 42mm Space Grey Alum w BSB
Email Confirmation: 10th, launch hour ... xx:09:01a
Delivery window: "May 13-27"
To: USA/NC, Triangle area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill)
---
..... Wednesday/yesterday....
Processing >>> PFS: sometime around 3a, shortly after cc tapped
"Shipped!" email alert: 6:09p
...... Thursday/today.....
6a: On UPS truck (from Durham NC)

Special notes:
* UPS source/base for this one = Louisville, Kentucky
* This is actually part of the frenzy of orders fulfilled throughout the day yesterday/ Wednesday, following flights in Tuesday night
* On the off chance that Order # might be relevant for fulfillment purposes, I've kept the first part of it visible.

Added to spreadsheet 8:30a today (using Atomic Browser on iPad, since a no-go via Safari.)

I can write on this thread, finally! I'm following this thread since 3 days but I had problems with the activation mail of my account.

I'm already in the El Lissitzky's sheet and I'm waiting my Watch in Germany (I'm italian but Apple didn't even start preorder here!).

Just a resume of my situation here too:

Ordered: 4/10/15
Time: XX:13:11
Delivery: May 12-26
Payment: Visa (No charge)
Location: Singen, Germany.

Is there anyone on this thread that is waiting for a SGS in Germany (or even in UK or France). I can't find a specific forum that help to understand the situation with european orders. You, american guys are doing such a fantastic job one for each other. At this point you are predicting (or a sort of) the next step with Apple logistic, or at least you know where you are with the schedule.
I can't find anything like this in Europe and this increase the anxiety!

What let me feel "angry" is that I've ordered the same day (minutes after mine: launch hour:34) an Apple Watch for a friend: same address, same card, same 12-26 shipping windows but his AW is in Germany since Tuesday. He chose a 42 Silver one with white band and I thing this is already an answer!

Hope to hear some news from European friend here on MacRumors. (Sorry for my english!)

Your English is fine. SG seems to be the most popular item and it is taking longer to get than other colours. Silver with white band was much easier and faster to get.
 
Been reading for days driving myself insane finally decided to join in. I was late to the party on launch day and ordered a 38 mm space gray instead of the 42 mm which was pushed to June by 2:23 am CST (never consume alcohol on a launch day, you get distracted). About a week later I was scanning eBay and decided to bid on one and "accidentally" won for the low price of $504.00. So I cancelled my 38 mm (like an idiot).

-Have a May 13-27 shipping window
-Have no idea on any further details because the seller won't respond
-Sucks
-Assume I'm still in processing hell
-Arkansas

So as annoying as it is for you guys, imagine being completely in the dark on the order time and not knowing when it might ship.

(And the money has already left my account, so I paid $504.00 a month ago and have nothing to show for it, at least you guys haven't been charged already)

Damn, that really does suck. eBay shouldn't let the sellers sell unless that have the product. Good luck though
 
Lights continue anyway. There's one from Anchorage landing in Louisville in an hour or so and another flight just left Shenzhen.

Something this time please!

Thanks! I thing even that the combination of 42mm size, the space Gray Case and the black sport band are what delayed times so much! I hope to see movement even in Europe as soon as possible. I'm continuing asking to me why I haven't think at the Apple Store app immediately. I was on the store page from my MacBook since 10 minutes before the X hour, and the page opened up at 09:10 in my macbook :confused:

Hi! I'm in a similar situation -

Ordered: 10/4/15
Time: 08:07am
Delivery: May 12-26
Payment: Credit card (No charge)
Location: UK.

I'm still stuck on processing too... :( You should check the UK forum as we are all in a similar boat.
 
The fact that there were like six planes landing in Louisville last night that resulted in zero people being charged really throws a bone in the whole "CCs are charged when planes land in Louisville" theory.

I think maybe cards are charged when leaving the facilities in China...in the past, it probably coincidentally coincided with the planes landing in Louisville (the time they were landing wasn't too far off when planes were leaving China). Then the orders probably get tracking info once they clear customs in the states.

If this is true, then flight tracking won't really do any good since we can't track planes before they leave China. And the times of charges have been changing from day to day, week to week which could mean different manufacturing schedules.

tl;dr: The credit card charges may have coincidently been linked to planes landing in Louisville or Anchorage when in reality the data may simply be a correlation but not causation.

Oh my God! I don't know that an UK thread exists! And I found even a German thread on MacRumors!!! I've 57 pages to read now :cool: Hope to found helpful information!

You are not alone my friend, A lot of us went through that same issue. Luckily a quick google search in that first 5 min after the site should have gone live keyed me into using the iPhone app. That's how i was lucky enough to get in the order 8 min past the hour. Oh well, that's how it works sometimes. Bottom line is a lot of us should see the watches within the next two weeks (hopefully early next week for me :D). We have waited this long so whats another week or two.

My wife got her 38mm WSB on launch day, I have tried to not play with it too much so I dont ruin the experience when I get mine. But I can say to all of you IT IS WORTH THE WAIT. She absolutely loves it! And from the little I used it all I can say is it's an excellent product. HANG IN THERE EVERYONE

Some prople got charged not many but not zero

I thought so for a long time too. Now I am uncertain. Then again Canadian orders do not seem to get charged in relation to shipping either. We see the shipping notice first. The shipping notice would seemingly be related to either arrival or departure from Louisville.

Then again it may all be unrelated and processing happens at the speed Apple's servers can process the charges.

None since I went to bed last night that I have seen. Planes landed after that.

How long has it taken for you guys to move from preparing for shipment to shipped?

XX:07:11
CC Charge: around 5:10pm May 6th
Status: preparing for shipment
Location: Iowa City, Iowa
 
New here,
order: xx:13

from the post that I have read here, I am guessing I should receive my watch 13 May or sooner, I hope Sooner

Based on how slowly orders have been going and the fact that May 13 is quickly approaching, you should be prepared for your order to arrive later than that, though almost certainly within the shipping window they initially gave you, May 13-27.

Orders may pick up over the next few days as production increases or order times spread out, but nobody knows for sure.

I'm right with you.
