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.

Yeah, really people. Leave the reps alone for your petty nonsense. Why do you all feel so entitled?? Your watch will get here. If you received your confirmation email, that's enough proof you are guaranteed a Watch. When it will come depends on when you ordered.

For those of you claiming your order was 'pushed back" because the rep gave you a different time is wrong. The reps are mistakenly giving you the wrong time. So, if you got a confirmation email of 3:05:23 and the rep says your order was placed at 05:23 - does not mean you placed your order at 5am. It means they didn't include the hour and only gave you the minute and seconds.

Am I excited for my watch to get here? Heck yeah! Do I feel the need to check these forums daily, hourly, etc. Heck yeah! Do I need to waste a support reps time because I am impatient and feel the world revolves around me? Heck no!

Grow up, take a chill pill and soon enough your watch will be on your wrist.

Ok, rant over - back to tracking flights hahaha :D
 
Just an idea but I wonder if Apple dropped the vague "processing" update if it would lead to a better customer experience. "iDevice in production at Apple facility" or "iDevice in final stages of production" or iDevice being transferred to shipping department".

Probably save the money along the way with cancellations and time fielding calls with status updates. Or would we still call on what's taking so long in production? Just a thought.

We've pretty well proven ourselves to be impatient, whiny little buggers so I kinda doubt it.

That would be nice but I doubt they have the granularity of data to be able to know all of those points. Or at least not at the level of being able to link of a single device in a line of production to an individual's order. That being said, maybe they could add a couple more steps along the update process.

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?

If it's similar to my call, they're quoting minutes and seconds. Your order went in at 12:07:32 more than likely.

While Apple is mass producing millions of items, it is very granular in supply chain area to get data into. Good idea though :eek:

By the current trend, you are in queue for next week ;), Good luck
 
confirmed order received at xx:05.08
SG 42mm, still processing, I'm getting desperate to get this off of my mind, and hopefully on my wrist!

If i didn't like the black so damn much I would have gone for the white.
also, doesn't the SG with the red band look like a Beats themed watch? Maybe even more with a red crown head.

Please tell me you're telling the truth. I am currently at the 12:06:38 time frame. Who knows how they are sending these orders out but maybe I can get charged before the end of the week.

Same here.

Waiting for UPS to actually register it in their system before I can hold for pickup.
 
Is it just me or is nothing really happening today? Trying to rationalize that last week, the orders were processing after 5pm edt, but yesterday it was happening a lot during the day. Is this what we should expect, evenings during the week and afternoons on weekends? I realize that some :05s have been hit already, but I've seen some :03s still waiting, so I'm probably gonna be stuck in processing for a few more days, and I'd like to know what type of schedule they are working on so I know what time to feel my daily disappointment.
