Around 6 minutes of pre-orders knocked off in one swoop. Nice! Really happy for you guys! I suspect the guys with the higher times in this section will be waiting around another week. Another wave like this one to start next week would finish up the 13-27 group by the 27th.

Monday of next week is a holiday, so early processing might be necessary to get it to customers by the 27th.

Maybe Apple was holding stock for retail and then changed their minds!
 
Preparing for Shipment

Dang, I went to cancel my order, but now I can't. j/k

xx.15:06, preparing for shipment to Irvine, CA.

I look forward to receiving Wednesday or Thursday.

Must have been a massive tsunami to reach the 15's today.

Good luck all

Space Gray 42mm
Ordered 4/10/2015 @ xx:15:07
Pending CC charge 5/18/2015
Apple says the card was rejected
CC company says there was no problem (and charge is listed as pending)
Apple says they tried again and it worked
Two pending charges now (I'm sure the duplicate will go away)
Status is still Processing Items as of this moment

Was it a Barclay card? My card declined but Barclay says there's no problem. Apple tried again and it still declined. So I changed the CC and now I'm waiting for the status to change

Checked my Barclay card just now. It shows 3 pending Apples charges for the watch and apple care #

Xx:14 preparing for shipment. About time. I was hoping more for a "Out for delivery" but I'll take the good news! Hopefully we all get it by tomorrow!
 
XX:16:53 Charged. I am also having issues with my CC, the charge is pending however apple said it was declined. Tried to authorize again and change my card then it said transaction could not be processed and my order went back to processing! Talked with apple and they say I'm all good and that the charge went through, we will see....
 
What are the odds they will ship today since the preparing to ship happened so early?

I'm so happy there's movement, and I hope everyone gets their pretty quickly.

I'm very glad we had this forum to keep ourselves sane.

Yeah, this usually happens. If they make changes with the charge, it goes back to in processing, but it still normally ships within about a day (assuming you update the payment info.)
 
I'm sure it's been asked, but what was the cutoff in time? I'm a xx:14:32, and I've seen some xx:16's but any 18's or 20's?

I am a XX:19:25 and I have nothing the highest I have seen was XX:17:40 or something. I think the next wave will cover XX:18 - XX:20+.
 
Mine appeared not to be charged...

My bank balance hasn't budged. Besides, activity shows up within a minute or so, so it looks like Apple hasn't run the authorization yet. I made a deposit in the ATM this morning, for example, and it showed up online by the time I got to the office just five minutes down the road.

As long as the authorization happens before this afternoon so the watch can be released to UPS for delivery tomorrow, I'm fine. Of course, if it doesn't happen by this afternoon, the worst I will do is pout and stick out my lower lip.

So, I'm sitting at Preparing to Ship with no authorization run on my debit card for a 00:12:17 order to Atlanta. Also, no watch has been added to my support profile yet, but I'm not sure when to expect that to happen. It's almost over, thankfully.
 
O....M....G...... THIS DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!!!

Charged around 12:00 PST!!

Woke up this morning to see the charge. Checked the Apple store and PFS!!!

Order: xx:14:47, Phoenix, AZ!

I'm so excited. I can't believe this wait is finally over!

Thanks, yea ended up not changing anything and just asked them to try the card again. Had another chat with Apple just to be sure everything went through and they said I'm good to go. I'll feel better when I get a tracking number tho..
