It seems that everyone is getting a little more mellow with their posts. The lucky ones that were able to get into the website or used the app and got early order times :03:xx :04:xx or :05:xx were way more uptight and frustrated. I guess the rest of us seem to be more patient and realize we will have them soon enough, me personally I think the anticipation may be almost as exciting as receiving the watch itself. Enjoy

Me I'm xx:15:xx hoping to get it sometime next week.

Bexar I think its more that Apple should have had more watches on hand before they had a release date. I had my order in at 2:04 and got my confirmation at 2:05 and had a delivery time of 13 May to 27 May. Thats nuts. Also Apple could have been a little more transparent with what was going on as far as how items were being shipped. There were probably also a few people online that were also spreading false information to get everyone worked up. The effort that I put in to wake up in the middle of the night, save the money needed, used there preferred method of ordering and preferred method of payment I felt should have warranted a more accurate shipping window then thanks for the order you might get it in a month and then no updates.
 
I'm going to order one probably today and from what I've been reading here it looks like they are shipping out sooner than what they tell you. I just wonder what the wait time is now realistically? I'm going to order 42mm SG black sport band.

That's the most popular model.. Expect a lengthy wait time. I ordered the same model on the 25th and I haven't gotten my shipping window yet. I'm still stuck in June.. Could be early June or mid June.

You should have it by Christmas. No promises.
 
Welp, UPS confirms they have no idea where the shipment is, but they hope it will show up on a scan tonight or tomorrow morning. I guess if it's lost I'm looking at June for a replacement. Not super happy about that right now.

As mentioned above, that is one of the most popular models with the longest wait out of any. We haven't even made it through pre-orders made 5 minutes after 12:00am PDT on April 10th.

From what I've noticed the other sport models have been shipping a lot faster (blue bands in particular, maybe whites as well).

It will show. From my understanding the UPS system is constrained. When my charger showed up I literally got a My Choice alert 5 min after it was delivered that it would arrive in 5 days. If it doesn't show I'd be willing to bet Apple won't make you go to the back of the line.
 
Unfortunately, the hold/decline was probably triggered automatically. An expensive piece of electronics being shipped to an address other than the billing address is going to trigger a red flag and at the very least get a second look.

It is a precaution against fraud but it can be frustrating and inconvenient when it triggers on a legitimate transaction. Hopefully you can get it cleared up without too much of a delay.

I get that. But they didn't flag the other order (white 38mm sport for a friend, I ordered it after mine and it was delivered on launch day). Frustrating that mine got flagged but the other one didn't.
 
Could someone send me your heart-rate when the first person reports that they received confirmation for xx:09 in the NY/NJ area?

I'm tired of checking this forum and my order status... especially on a quiet day like this.
 
i'm in the same boat.

xx:13 here

xx:14:02 :-(

I still believe we are starting to get past the big bulk of out the gate orders and I think it will start to speed up from here, especially as Apple ramps up production of the haptic engines.

6 days for 5-6 mins, which probably account for most of the initial orders.

I think its not unreasonable to see movement by next weekend or in the early part of the week after.
 
Confirmation: XX:04
Status: Processing

Anyone in Canada order the 42mm Space Black SS with Link band?
How you received it yet?

Thanks!

...and what does this have to do with SG orders?

While we're waiting, I'd like to say how much I appreciate all of your posts on this forum: The frustrated posts, the optimistic posts, the I've-figured-out-the-system posts, the what-does-xx:06-mean posts, the angry posts, the celebratory posts.

All of them.

This little community has kept me company during the last few weeks and has made my wait for the watch more enjoyable.

Thank you, friends!

Glad to see a fellow Mississippi buddy here...but #HailState from Starkville. ;)

Btw, xx:16:xx confirmation email, so, not surprisingly, I'm still processing.
