So I'll be traveling next week starting Tuesday and have a XX:13:57 order time. Really starting to consider changing my shipping address to where I'll be traveling to since I'm now doubting me getting my watch for Monday.
The question is: How difficult or possible is it to change shipping address if it reaches "Preparing for Shipment" stage? Should I just do it now and loose any chance of receiving it this Monday? Or should I wait to see if I get charged tonight or tomorrow and get an actual estimated delivery date?
This has been my main concern with this pre-order...the estimated delivery date ranges are insanely wide. It's hard to plan around work and travel when you get basically one days notice of it's arrival.

I dont want to discourage but incheon is in korea and today no flight came from china so nothing will come in those four flights to louisville so not tonight may be tomorrow night!!!
I see that you were at the 11 min mark. That means no possible way for any of us at 12:20+ of getting anything by Monday. Here's hoping for Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest.
Honestly, I'm giving up hope. Next Friday is my estimate. And, unfortunately, that's a generous estimate.
Are all of our problems solved?

Posted a few times earlier. Sounds like a BS reason why Apple dropped the ball on this.
DAMNIT APPLE!
Just got an email and the preview of the title showed "Apple: Your Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band"
I started flailing around frantically trying to bring up the email on my computer and........
It was the EOD for another one that I ordered about a week ago for a customer. UUUGGGHHH!!
Sure enough xx:14:47, "Still processing..."

A labor shortage resulting form a holiday doesn't seem right. Do we really think that Apple and its supplier didn't take a well known holiday into account when setting up Apple Watch production schedule? Any worker shortage because of holiday(s) should have planned for well ahead of time.
If this was in fact the case, then there was some very poor planning on the part of Apple and their manufacturer(s).
Also, as part of the taptic engine defect report, Apple was said to have asked its suppliers to hold back some materials until June. This means that full ramp is likely not gonna happen until June if the report was accurate.
All hypothetical of course...
same here i just got email like 2 minnutes ago...........for watch that i ordered 2 days ago....
I'm getting mine Monday too. Super excited.
Also a black leather band is preparing for shipment today as well. I'll be all setup next week.
You are making some pretty big leaps in assumptions as to what that activity means... Why would it turn on and activate during the shipping process? I have no idea what those dates mean, but don't think you do either.
Here is my History:
4/27: Activity bars shown, but zero activity
4/28: Activity bars shown, zero activity
5/6: Activity bars shown, zero activity
5/7: Watch received
Here is my Theory:
4/27: Tested in Production
4/28: Tested in Production
5/6: Turned on during import customs inspection.
5/7: Delivered
so I've gotten my Apple watch 1 day now . I truly love it to the fullest worth the wait but whats even better about is the battery life! One it is amazing. since this morning it was fully charged at 100 % and I still have 60% left on it. it's only 8pm at my location and also battery life on my iPhone 6 plus has also improved. having the Apple watch makes your phone battery last even longer I'm at 70% on battery life for my phone , love the watch ! can't wait till everyone gets there watch. this thread has also helped me go through the long wait so for you guys that are waiting soon you will realize how important this apple watch will be to you when you get it but until then you will go through the the long wait as I did but it will come dw. It's really worth the wait ! Thank you for your help and all your guys info ! I will be keeping in touch and reading more of you guys threads

Preparing for Shipment
Hi,
My Black Lather Loop band is preparing for shipment now. So I should get it Monday or Tuesday. Then my Apple Watch orders will be completed. I've had my watch for a week and really enjoy it. Hang in there folks your watch will get to you.

Yeah a few early ones went out, you basically just missed the wave from a few days ago.
As an aside, someone mentioned the possibility that some of these planes have been coming in, but rather than have just customer delivery, Apple may be stockpiling some in order to prepare for in store launch. That actually sounds more than reasonable. They have a lot of stores and June is only a few weeks away.
That also means that out there, there may be a warehouse of space gray sports just hanging out, minding their own business and belonging to nobody lol
I think you might find this interesting.
I was one of the lucky guys to be charged and shipped today, and my order time was XX:12:02. I managed to get the Serial off my upcoming watch and ran it against the chipmunk database.
And these were my findings. As you can see, and what I found the most interesting is the fact that the watch was manufactured in May, which lead me to confirm that indeed the 42mm SGS watch was underproduced and the first batch of watches didn't even cover up to the first 12 minutes of pre-ordering.
I'm not a CSI genius like some of you, but here's the intel so you can make out things. I don't even know when week 19 was, but it has to be in the last 15 days definitely.
