So, is it shaping up to be another quiet day or do the waves sometimes come later in the day?

Like everyone else, don't know for sure, but it seems like cards don't get charged until the cargo clears US customs in Anchorage (for US customers).

There's a plane landing in about 15 minutes from now, so I'd expect to see charges within the hour.

Then the switch from Processing to Preparing For Shipment seems to be after the cargo reaches Louisville, later in the evening. It's about a 6 hour flight from Alaska to Kentucky.

I'm xx:13:39, am really hoping to see a charge here today, so at least I'll see the watch Monday. But I'm kind of at that whatever stage now. The excitement is getting stale at this point.
 
FYI

5 planes scheduled to land in Louisville tonight. Contact at UPS says at least 3 of them have a high quantity of apple products "he can tell based on serial numbers on the manifest" so expect a big wave tonight.

Sweet! Mine should be on that one. Too bad we are too late for Friday delivery but Monday will still be good.
 
Well it looks like my time on this thread is up! For those still waiting, its definitely worth the wait. Thanks you guys for keeping me company while waiting! Now off to the "Show off your :apple: Watch" thread!

For what it's worth I checked out Twitter and many people have already been charged and are preparing for shipment today, they just didn't order the SG 42 mm. I guess Apple decided to take a few days of doing other watches
 
Its funny that when we go more than 12 hours without a charge the thread inevitably spirals in to arguments and people being upset. Its like a damn roller coaster sometimes! haha

Anyways xx:14:47 here, anxiously and happily awaiting the big wave today/tonight that may or may not include my watch! ;)
 
I don't get too bummed out during fulfillment gaps because that usually translates into much larger waves getting through at once.
 
please help

also I know this not the thread for this question but im sure some have bought other model maybe for spouse, but can any one here tell me which other sport watch they have bought 38MM and have gotten pretty quick, or which 38mm would be fastest to ship out? opinions? experience?
 
Well, it sucks we didn't have a wave last night for Friday delivery. Now, if one happens tonight or this weekend, we won't get it until Monday/Tuesday! It's nice to know us 12s to 15s (possibly) are roughly 4 to 5 days away from having our watches.
 
So I was charged at 11:34 pm last night and status changed to Preparing for shipment. What are the chances my watch will ship overnight and I will have it tomorrow?

Yeah probably too late even now for shipping tomorrow...

It is. We'd get charged tonight, then it will PFS most of the day tomorrow, then we will get a tracking number that probably won't work until Saturday morning...for a Monday delivery. Hey, that works for me!

It's not impossible of course, but the typical timeframe is that you get charged and PFS on Day 1, Day 2 you refresh the order page a few thousand times along with the UPS tracking reference, and then Day 3 the watch is delivered. :eek:

----------

Production week 17?

The watch that has yet to be delivered to me today was manufactured week 18 via the german chipmunk site.
 
So probably will get some hate for this, but Ive been following along in the SSSB thread as well. I really liked that model, but for a 1st generation, I didn't know if I could justify paying that much for it, especially considering I've never really worn a watch before.

I decided the SGS was the next closest thing and way better priced for not knowing how it was going to be and all.

After watching this video and having all this time to hear about how good things seem with the watch, I'm having thoughts about getting it. I mean, check out how good it looks in this video. :eek:

Hopefully a good black metal link bracelet comes along to match this quality for the SGS. I must say I'm glad I cancelled my order for the Monowear bracelet.

Charges tonight would fit the two days on , one day off pattern we have seen. If we have a sizable batch and the per second orders have begun to decline we might possibly see 3 minutes of movement (wishful thinking , I'm 14:52)

I hate waiting for anything. Oh well.
