My Amex was just charged as well. I placed my order at 12:05:40 and I'm in central Cali. This is an anniversary gift for my husband so I'm happy it's shipping earlier than stated. I received my 38 SS Milanese on launch day and I love mine.

I'm in the Fresno area, they should've included my :06 to save on shipping costs #
 
PREPARING FOR SHIPMENT!!

This comes about 50 minutes after my card was charged.

Once again I had a xx:05:47 confirmation email and was charged at about 11 PM eastern time.

Same time as me, same coast as me (I'm in Pa) this could be my night! Congrats! I hope we all get them very soon!

I am XX:05:11 in NYC and still nothing. I got charged on 4/23 but then it dropped off. Nothing since. Hoping I get something tonight....
 
I'm now preparing for shipment. Hells yes.

Hopefully I'll get the watch by Wednesday!

There is a very slim chance we could still get in on the 4/28 shipping with the last wave from Sunday. People who got the 4/24 launch day delivery were getting charged right into the night on 4/23.
 
Finally preparing to ship

OMG!! I was reading through all the comments on how orders were being charged and preparing to ship. I saw times beyond mine so I went to check. I have been charged and my order is preparing to ship. Now to hope that is will arrive on Wednesday for my birthday!! That would make an amazing birthday gift to myself:)!

That's very odd that you would get charged already and then nothing happened... Did you get a shipping number yet? If not that might be something worth calling Apple about - it could be possible that your card didn't go through.
 
Model: 42mm SG sport
Conf Email: xx:05:05 (5 minutes, 5 seconds after "opening", which really happend about xx:01 or xx:02)
Country: US (Louisiana)
Current Status: Processing Items

Originally May 13th-May 27th...order still shows that currently...but...

Got charged about 20 minutes ago, around 10PM CST for the Apple Watch (had apple care on there too, but haven't been charged for it yet).

So, crossing fingers that I'm next in line for shipment soon...we'll see.
 
:/// my email came in at Xx:04 and apple Rep told me :05.08 but whats going on?!? I'm in central California, but I think apple pay doomed me
 
Sorry, I don't work for Apple but the links to Flightaware.com have been posted several times. I just checked. They are not due in until after Midnight EST.

I'm just asking because a lot of us have been watching the flights under the assumption that the planes land, people get charged. Charges are happening with out planes landing. Hoping we come up with a new hypothesis.

Is applecare backordered now?

We don't know what's happening in Apple's supply chain. A bunch of planes landed today earlier today, but we don't know whether there were watches sitting waiting to be sorted or what. The planes just give us a clue as to how much stock they might be moving.

I called them when I didn't get a tracking number last week and they said everything was fine but mine wasn't shipping yet. It still says processing.
 
I happened to be changing my "ship to" location at the time when my credit card was charged. Have been waiting for a while, and shipments are delivered much earlier to my work than to my home (10am vs 7pm) so I thought switching was wise.

Now i'm somewhat worried as my order still says processing, even though I've been charged and others are now switching to "Preparing for Shipment".

Sight...almost there!
