He's lying.

We are currently in the XX:10 orders.

Every single person that has posted something in this regard to try to rustle jimmies has failed to provide any proof that this is the case.

If his card was charged, it is simply a preauth, which Apple does every few days to ensure the amount is still available. Nothing new here.

It was a miscommunication... he ordered the Stainless Steel not the SG. Sorry.

I think your nephew is yanking your chain. If the above are "facts", it would be contrary to the "1st come, 1st served" we have seen so far.

Either that, or he ordered a different size/different watch than the 42mm Space Grey Sport. Those have indeed been processed faster than the SGS 42's.

Or that^

Not lying...Miscommunication... he ordered the SS not the SG. He was charged and is preparing to ship.

Is this US? If so, are you sure he's not lying? Nearly 4 hours later than most of us.

Where are we at with orders? I am at the XX:15 mark. Wed starts the time window.

I'm not to sure I've seen a few people getting charged at the xx:9-10 mark witch I'm at the xx:10 mark and still haven't been charged in also on the same window has you 13-27 I was talking to a rep from Apple yesterday he told me that just an estimate and that I could get it earlier then my window but he didn't make any promises
 
Agreed. Once I saw folks in this date range were getting their watches early, I had big hopes for the same. I just realized we are now about to enter the actual stated range. A week ago I assumed the 13th was a worst-case-scenario. Now I suspect it is not.

I am at 11 minutes after.

On another note - my wife said she wants one now. I ordered the 38mm SS WSB for her yesterday.

I wish I was at :11! Im sure yours will be shipped this week.

Gift Card not yet charged

On a side-note, gift cards seemed to be charged much like credit cards. I noticed my other gift card was charged for the extra leather loop band I ordered, then shortly after it changed to preparing for shipment, then shipped. The gift card I used to purchase the SGS, on the other hand, is still showing a full balance minus an ~$50 charge which maybe acts as a hold or a down payment.
 
what time and what's your location it could change today! rather be in your shoes then mine right now lol

It changed sometime around 12/1 EST and my order is from 3:08

I'm away from the capital this week and changed my shipping just for this so I hope I get it this week
 
Does anyone have the link to where you track flights arriving to Louisville? Wanted to see if there are any for today

Did you get Apple Care with your watch? The Gift Card I used has been charged for that, but not the Watch yet. Could explain your charge.
 
What makes you think Wednesday? Apple has been using overnight shipping, so anything that is charged today and presented to UPS before the overnight cutoff (whatever that is) will be delivered tomorrow, not Wednesday.

It varies by location. Some will see Tuesday. Others like me (in Canada) will see Wednesday.
 
Charges

Sure hope things get going seems like nothing but crickets today. Was hoping to get charged today for mine and the wife's watch.
