The entirety of Apple watch orders are not exclusive to this thread either. Charges and shipments can very well be coming from these planes but the other 95% of people who aren't following this particular thread could have gotten them. We are a very small subset trying to best guess how things are working, and i think it makes logical sense.
In Ontario, Canada my Blue Watch said is shipped from "Syncreon in Vaughan, ON". almost certain it did not ever even see that Address. I would not trust the address it shows.
Edit to add : same address as the iPhone 6+ labels had but they say "Return To Address" so that must be the company who handles Apple retunrs here.
I'm not sure how small of a subset we are of the overall watch orders. I've read multiple analysts reports that we happened to order the most popular model, some saying that the 38mm and 42mm space gray sport account for 40-50% of the total orders. So it's likely we comprise at least a MILLION watch orders.
You misread what i wrote...the people on this thread are a small subset of the MILLIONS of apple watch orders. Yes we ordered the most popular type, that goes without saying. However, just because WE did not see charges flurry in doesnt mean that the MILLIONS of others havent the past day and a half.
I agree with the assessment SG BSB is the most popular specific version ordered...but think 40-50% of ALL watch orders seems unlikely. I'd guess it is closer to about 25% of all watches, which is still very high considering there are 20 some odd versions.
I agree there is others getting orders today and may not be members here or any where on the internet, but I hear 00:06-00:08 maybe the heavier time in which orders where confirmed for
Out of a polling of 17k (not an insignificant group) - even Cult of Mac shows 40% space gray sport. So yes, even 25% would be huge - but I'd be surprised if it was less than 40%.

Nope. First scan just says Canada but Apple shipments fly from Louisville to Mt. Hope (Hamilton, ON). From there it moved onto Concord which is UPS main sorting terminal near Toronto.

It's because the thread isn't filled with Preparing for Shipment order updates. #
Isn't that the truth. Not much happening. 5 UPS flight from Anchorage to Louisville later tonight. They start arriving approx 12:50 AM EDT.
If I am getting a Watch on the 13th it almost has to be on one of those planes to get to Canada in time.
I'm at xx:08:24 in Chicago, and I'm fully expecting to not get any movement until overnight Monday at the earliest, now. There would need to be a tremendous amount of movement to get through the next minute in the next couple days, it seems like. I wish you the best of luck, it seems like Canada is overdue for a big shipment.
hmm...very surprised that Steel with BSB is not the most popular steel version. Interesting.
I would also look at the group of folks that are filling out a poll on the Cult of Mac site - a skewed sampling for sure (all
fanboy types like MEEEEE), so that should be taken into account as well. It is super interesting!That's because is the cheapest SS version. And especially for those planing on changing the band later on. Is the best option if you want SS
Guess for me!

Apple chat today told me order posted at 12:29 PDT.
Frankly I have no idea what any of it means at this point. There are lots of observations here, but even more speculation.
All we really know is that they got a lot of orders in a short period of time. Supply of some components may be restricting the rate that final products can be manufactured. The human beings employed to make the watches may or may not have (gasp!) taken holidays recently. One way or another, they're making watches and shipping them out in some order or another. UPS flights out of China are occurring on a daily basis, and they may or may not have watches on board. It's easy to get caught up in wondering when our new toy will arrive, but at least we're not waiting on relief supplies after an earthquake. So, there you go.
Never mind the following. I was thinking black stainless with link band.
Well it is also the most expensive with the exception of the Edition. I wanted one but did not want to pay that much in case I didn't like the product.

I just completely misread the chart. Didn't realize it was only talking about cases, and not bands.
I had surgery less than a week after the original announcement of the Apple Watch in September. I told my children that if anything went wrong with the surgery they were to keep me on life support until the Apple Watch was released and to bury me with it on. As you can tell, I'm still alive! Although this is the day they would have pulled the plug..... This is the day that I am going to pull the plug on this thread! I wish all of you the best of luck in your struggles and hopefully you will receive your watch soon. This is my final data:
