42mm Space Grey May 13 - 27

[lanoona]

So the last time I logged on here was 3 days ago, and we were in the 12s, that was 40 pages ago. Has there been any progress since then?

Also I have a question: how do I set up to pre-sign for delivery or hold a package at UPS for pick up in advance? Just wondering if I need to make some sort of account.

No progress whatsoever.

I think the latest time is something like xx:12:12

And from what I understand when you receive your shipping confirmation email there will be an option to pre-sign. Another option is to call your local ups distribution center and have it held for pick-up. 8-8:30 am depending on location.

With the lack of progress, I hope to bring something good to this thread....

Thought you needed a MyUPS account for this?

You don't need a MyUPS account to have a package held for pick-up. I have done it in the past and I do not have an account.

Slow as molasses in January ....

I'm hoping for a big wave tonight. At this point I'm expecting a tuesday delivery for my watch (I have a 00:12:54 order)

 

[irentamac]

We can hope!

I have been hoping for a big wave for the past 6 weeks.... More so in the past 4 days though, with zero movement......

 

[frostrambler]

I've been monitoring this thread for a few weeks now, wanted to see when my watch was due to ship. I have the space grey 42mm BSB as everyone else here.

I received my order confirmation email at 12:13 PST, and decided finally to see my order creation time. The apple rep was kind of clueless about how timezones work: see attached image.

However in the end she did tell me that it was 00:13:12 order placed time.

So... can confirm that my order still says processing, no charge on my CC, shipping to Brooklyn, NY.

Im going on a trip on Friday, was hoping to have my watch by then. Disappointed.

 

[Ryzilynt]

Yeah I originally started following this thread just to get some info about when my watch might ship also.

After realizing that it isn't going to ship I created an account and started posting out of boredom.

Here's the thing, I just want to get really active , and I want to track all my stats from the beginning with my watch. I really think there are going to be updates and apps and upcoming features that we don't even know about yet.

I really think it would do well for Apple for people to see the watch on people's wrists

I really want to mount my iPhone on an RC and drive it around while using the remote viewfinder screen on the watch.

I want frickin sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their freaking heads , is that really so much to ask ?

Very good sense of humor, need it to put up with the wait.

one plane already landed in the morning and one is about to land in an hour..........still no progress.....i am loosing hope now i am seeing my 13:40 to come on friday or may be on last day....27th May....but i don't know how apple gonna a complete all 13 to 27 window....i strongly don't think....

 

[Mnapple]

My window is May 13-27. And while I may be anxious to take ownership of my watch, I have no reason to complain until May 28. And even then I will not. Yes, Apple has a great reputation but even the best makes mistakes.

Lately, I've been reflecting on what my life both professional and personally would be like without the Apple products I own. If it means having to wait an extra month or two to receive yet another great product, I will gladly wait.

One thing is for certain, if Apple has made mistakes on this launch they will be learning from them and fixing them for the next one. Apple never makes the same mistakes twice.

I propose that as we feel led to chime in with our two cents about our impatience, let's list one of the favorite Apple product or service they provide.

My Apple favorite: That I can make awesome videos with iMovie right on my phone.

 

[luketnorton]

Wow. Haven't checked the flights in a while but whoa lots of movement in the skies. More than I expected. I must say, it was nice to take 24 hours off and stop worrying about this damn Watch, but, alas, here I am... again.

 

[nfl46]

A massive wave is about to happen in the next couple of days.

5 planes in the air right now, with another 6 taking off in a few hours. I don't think I've ever seen this many. By 11 AM Sunday morning all of them would have landed.

I guess they are about to catch up for 5 days of no charges. It's Sunday here on the east coast.

Ok , I'm going to humor you because I'm tired of bitching and moaning.

My number one favorite thing about Apple is how they gave us the iPhone. No one else had the BALLS! We wanted Internet, email, programs, phone, camera, compass, MP3 player, gps , a super computer in your pocket. The ultimate erudite Swiss Army knife. Many others have followed suit, none have done it as well as Apple. It's called riding coat tales.

My number 2 ? The ultimate synergy between hardware and software. Apple may not be the only company that does it but they have been in the business for a longgggg time and they do it better then anyone else. They build the hardware to suit the software and they build the software to compliment the hardware , simultaneously!!!! Put them together and you get real magic.

All of these flights is exciting news! The only bad thing for me, being in California, I don't see any flights going into Ontario.

Ok. My favorite thing about Apple is that the products LAST! Right down to one of the first 128K Macs to come off the line in 1984. My brother owns it. It is signed inside the casing by everyone who worked on it. It still works. It is AMAZING! I've been in love with Apple products for a long time!

Do you guys really have a lot of confidence in the flights corresponding to watch shipments? I haven't been paying close attention.

 

[Ryzilynt]

If I had a GD nickle for every time I saw the Hervé Villechaize (tattoo) meme proclaiming that planes were about to land for some fictitious wave of watches that they apparently are never going to put into a GD box and mail to my MF house I'd have at LEAST 50 cents by now !!!!

Is that a run-on ?

 

[nfl46]

There's a good chance. 11 flights will all be landed in 11 hours. On top of that, there were flights that landed in the past few days. Apple is planning for a huge wave, or stacking them in warehouses for in-store launch next month. Something is definitely going on.

 

[Ryzilynt]

Interesting fact : the show was called paradise island, the actor Hervé Villechaize left the show at it peak stating he wanted to pursue other options... I think he got one other job in a James Bond movie.

Apple is Hervé Villechaize, their lack of interest in putting my watch in a box and mailing it to my house is their "pursuing other options"

Ok it's a weak analogy, I'm still pissed , I just want my watch

I would seriously hope they're not stacking. That would be highly disappointing to everyone still waiting for shipments. I admit that I would be a bit upset if that were to happen.

 

[irentamac]

Well, one thing we know for sure. The watches come over here by plane. How this coordinates with getting charged and all that jazz, no one really knows.

That said, after 4 days of practically NO movement with charges/shipping, and the last 2 days with no flights really moving, this news of so many flights gives some hope. This will be the biggest tell in to the whole flight tracking. If there is a huge wave in the next 24-36 hours, I think we can say theres a good correlation.

I may be just grasping at nothing, but by God I'm so desperate I'll take any bit of hope right now!

Come'on big ol' wave!! At least through 14:47!!!

They could be. We haven't seen any charges in 5 days but we are seeing flights everyday. If we don't see any charges today, for Tuesday delivery then it's obviously, they are stacking.
