Glad to see that your recovered and now enjoying the Apple Watch. Please do share your location info too.
Happy Apple Watching
This forum has turned into a bunch of people losing their mind because of the lack of updates!!! Come on Apple HELP us and give us something to cheer about again!!!! Last two days have been brutal.....wishful thinking guys
I think your source should get himself into the witness protection program. Today has been an overwhelming non-event.
adios amigos
This was my first time preordering an
Product and honestly, its been a frustrating nightmare. But not really, its just a first-world problem imo. Yes they jacked up the launch, so much so that I might not preorder again and just wait (I REALLY WANTED THE WATCH THOUGH, THATS THE ONLY REASON I DID IT). Im xx:07:21, charged last night at 10:40p, shipped today 5/7 at 2:30p, and will receive it tomorrow. IM OUT!!!!
Good luck and happy waiting!

Checked...
It is certainly UPS.
The Apple Store has it as shipped. The UPS site (also the deliveries app) has it as "ORDER PROCESSED READY FOR SHIPMENT."
Ya was a surprise as I'm not seeing much movement on hear for other XX:07:20-40 like it was last night so it was certainly a surprise to receive the Apple Store notification on my phone.
Again it was XX:07:29. And it was ordered through the Apple Store app on my phone.
Remember the days when people's cards got charged and we saw full 10s of seconds join the ranks of the charged? The old days when it seemed like your xx:10:xx + confirmation time seemed like an "any day now!"
Those were good days. Today, on the other hand, not so good.

I ordered two; one at xx:05, and one at xx:14 for my gf. We went to try it on and she didn't like it and told me to cancel hers.. Me thinking since the ship times were the same i could cancel whichever one and it'd be fine, so i canceled whichever (happened to be the xx:05 one)....Boy was I wrong. It still haunts me in my dreams that i could have had it right now if i didn't make that mistake
That will haunt you for a while! At least a few more weeks. Yikes...
Sorry, apparently some people missed the part that said that I wasn't sure how much stock to put behind what I was told...I received a few "death" threats...
Anyway, I only gave you guys the info I received...hence why I put so much emphasis on not looking into it too much.
My best guess...the plan I outlined is probably going to be put into place...what I can assume by "ghost plant" is that Apple and its manufacturers are going to open up a 2nd location nearby to move the packing portion of the assembly line into. This will increase the amount of watches that can come off the line, moved onto temp storage and then wheeled over to the 2nd area where people can be packaging them 24/7. Quality control won't take a hit, because they're not being made separately...just more.
But that's just my best guess.
As for the planes, maybe the person was being "hopefully optimistic" that it was SGS, and it was really just extra-full shipments in general (I point to the number of extra bands that have been shipped today as my best).
Sorry to get people's hopes up.
Taken with a grain of salt.
Alright let's get this overnight party started! Who's going to be the first one to get charged tonight? (For delivery Monday of course)

How dare you spreading unconfirmed rumours in the Interweb?
----------
**** all are getting charged today!
Yes! C'mon, Apple, let's get this wave started tonight. Let's get those watches on their way to these xx:07 and xx:08 people.
C'mon, Apple, let's go!
Except they make these things in China where Mother's Day (a holiday originating out of the United States) really isn't that big of a deal.
Planes To Louisville
All,
I live in Louisville and have several contacts who works as load/unload masters at their hub in Louisville. I have been posting pics and info of the planes as they land and are unloaded. Apparently apple products have a specific code so they can tell how much apple prod is on a plane.
Follow me on Twitter @joshua_pavey I'll be waiting to here from my contacts and posting the pics and apple info they give me.
