Yeah because I have an order placed and am curious to find out if any shipments have gone out. I didn't realize this thread had a criteria of "you have to be excited" to post in it.
I'm stuck in processing mode.

This is the most frustrating thing ^
Who knows what order Apple is going by to ship out watches! Especially here in California where it seems to be at least a day behind everyone else.
Woke up and nothing! No charge, email or any updates. Ordered at :04 and confirmation email at :06. (ordered it right after I ordered the SS SB)

May 13-27
Still processing
Nothing on CC
No email from apple
Called Apple, they know nothing, just wait till May 13
The thing that is annoying is that I keep hearing about people getting their watches early. A guy who ordered hours after store opening with a June delivery gets his watch yesterday. Fancy stores getting watches to people the next day. WTF? I stayed up late to order, been loyal fan forever, and nothing . . . Just annoying.

For the most part, they still seem to be finishing up the last of the X:05's. I suspect the bulk of the X:06's will see charges the first part of next week.
From following the post it appears that we have run across a stalemate. There are not as many orders being processed as there were earlier in the week. At this pace, my 06:44 order should be filled late next week. I'm contemplating having a friend go to Maxfield's, because they appear to be the only ones getting watches in real time! I will either cancel my order or sell my originally ordered watch.

Your watch is going to Maxfield's so they can sell it to someone that is going to sell it on eBay for a profit.

That is frustrating that people can just go to Maxfields, order a watch and get it the next day when there are a whole lot of people who pre-ordered as soon as it went live and are still waiting.
I was thinking the same thing, go to Maxfield and order one or two (what ever the limit is) for myself still keeping the original orders.
I am annoyed about the process, probably just going to sell the watches to fund a Pam and wait for v2 or get one later this year.
I wonder if the Apple gods will read this post and then I might not get any AW's!?!

Since I saw some posts about "everyone in NYC under 9 minutes getting theirs" I thought I'd join the party.

Again: people who got their watches earlier than expected and ordered hours after the store opening did not order 42 mm (nor 38 mm) Space Gray watches. The SG watches which are currently getting shipped are within the xx:05:00 and xx:06:59 window in the US, about 1 to 2 minutes earlier in Europe. Most between xx:05:00 and xx:06:30.
I'm just as tired as you of waiting but remember: your shipping estimation is May 13-27 so Apple is technically not late in its deliveries. They actually ship way earlier than expected. So please, be patient, lay back, get yourself a glass of Bourbon, go outside. I do not know but stop worrying about this whole thing
you will get your watch pretty soon!On a side-note: enjoy just waiting for an expansive watch to come at you, not food, not shelter, nor help like those people in Nepal.

I'm at XX:15 somehow, I could of sworn I got in my order quicker...the lucky people who used the app made out nice and got to order before anyone else... I'm still in the 4-6 week window. This is gonna be a lonnnnng wait..
Second morning in a row that I received an "action required" email from apple saying by my bank declined the charge. I spoke with my bank and Apple yesterday and both said everything was good, yet the overnight charge attempt last night ran into a wall again. My bank is confused as to why there is a problem, so I'm led to believe that there is some glitch with my Apple Pay setup. I called Apple and switched payment method this morning. Hopefully that is the last time I have to deal with this. Very frustrating.
There is ALWAYS a place in the world that is in need of help. You need to live your life and worry more about when these problems will come to your immediate area, and prepare yourself.
Worry too much about Nepal, and that next hurricane/tornado/blizzard/earthquake/forest fire/volcano eruption will hit your back yard, and you've given away all your money to help someone who won't help you. I've experienced this.
I've been a defender of these shipping windows since Apple is obviously having problems getting Watches out, but even I'm finding it galling how much stock Maxfield's is getting while deliveries seem to have slowed to a crawl for everyone else. Especially because a lot of that Maxfield's stock is going directly into the hands of scalpers.
I just went to check my discover card app and it says that we are having Technical difficulties with pending transactions, please check later. Anyone else have this?
Where are you located? Now :07s are getting love while U.S. :06s are waiting. Hopefully there is more movement for us at some point today/tonight
