Yep! Makes sense then. Pending charge since 22 April, confirmation email at 05:36, still processing
Good to see movement ahead of estimates! Hopefully the later orders that are :10+ minutes past (mine included) get their's moving in the next week or so.
You're in Europe right? That seems to be the window given out there... 13-27 is North America and some other locales.
I've been reading around this site since Friday. I haven't decided if it's more a positive for a "support group" or if I wish I could just ignore all the news and just wait for the watch to show up at my door.
Anyway, I'm a little inspired because I'm seeing some movement.

Preordered 1/10 and got email confirmation at xx:05:33
Apple rep told me my order went in at xx:05:30
May 13 - May 27 by Standard Shipping
Still processing Item
Located in DFW area
Still confused at how I wasn't in the first shipping when I couldn't have possibly processed my order quicker. It was favorited and I did it on the app, which was up minutes before the website was.
And I disagree that months from now we will all have forgotten this. Apple usually nails launch days. This time was completely different. And to me, it's been mostly disappointing.
This has certainly thrown a buzzkill in my excitement. It will also make me think twice about future purchases.

I agree with you. I have waited in lines at Apple Stores on launch day, and set my alarm for many product pre-orders. This one sucks all around. On April 10th, at 2:04 CT, 2:05, 2:10 and 6:10 I dropped $3,200 on 2 watches, extra bands and a MacBook. None of it had the "Apple" feel. My "best" option was to order and wait. Apple has made this buying experience even worse by its lack of communication to the millions of people that preordered their product. While in the end, I will enjoy my Apple products, the buying experience is the worst in recent Apple history.
As an overall launch, this one is definitely seeing some serious delays. However, this is not the first time this sort of thing has happened in the past. The white iPhone 4 for example. Midnight preordering of the iPhone 5s and 6Plus also ended up with delivers after launch day as well. Who can forget the server meltdowns on iPhone 3G launch.
We have come to expect perfection from Apple and this will usually result in disappointment when things don't go as we have come to expect.
I too am disappointed in the discrepancy between "launch" and the day most people are actually able to buy the thing. However, Apple has taken care of us in the past. If there is in fact an issue beyond simple excessive demand, Apple will correct the problem and make it right. At this point, we don't really know what the delay is. We may get more details on Apple Watch demand during the March quarter conference call this afternoon.
Well I just had a demoralizing call. I am in this group after getting my order in at xx:07. I was curious as to what time my order went in their system. The rep said 7:32am!! I asked her if she was sure as I received my order number email at xx:07am and she said "thousands and thousands of orders were placed" and that orders were pushed back as a result. If it really went in at 7:32, wouldn't I be in the June group?

I really don't think the rep is correct, but I guess you never know.

Seriously, you guys gotta quit calling the reps. If you got the confirmation email, your order went through, whether it was a few seconds or a few minutes delayed. These reps telling you that your order didn't get into the system for hours afterwards are simply wrong.
I order my watch at exact same time as you xx:07, talked to apple chat and they also told me it got stamped at 7:3X can't remember exactly. However my point is i think all order got pushed back and nothing got stamped at the same time the order created. I still think its in order though.
Hello #TeamSG46! Any changes to your orders?
Not for me. Still "Processing Items."
Nope.. Still hanging in there with you. #TeamSG46
