Ordered 18 mins after 3am est

My husband's alarm didn't go off, so we ordered 2 SG Sports Watch 18 mins after store opened. (Very late according to times here in MacRumors!)

Just received message from Apple.

Apple Store: Good news! Items in order W451622XXX have shipped and will deliver by May 22, 2015. For more info: http://www.apple.com/s/aR4R2u8iXXX.
 
So just chatted after mine went to preparing for shipment and card pending. Apple said it is pre authorizing and will drop off again. Once the watch ships we will see a charge and receive a email with tracking. So as of now, although it is a movement it's doesn't mean our watches are shipping just yet and maybe not tomorrow..
 
My xx:33 order just went to Preparing For Shipment right after getting cc charged. Million dollar question is whether it'll come before Tuesday...

But they even took everything off my gift card so not just a hold. They have changed my gift card for the applecare since the 12th of April but this is the first that they charged the rest off the gift card and charged my CC and everyone else on here has shipped once they charged the whole amount not just a 1 dollar hold to see if the card is valid. But Ty for the info they gave.

And just now mine changed from processing to preparing for shipment.

But is your card pending or charged?
 
I didn't order until about 1:00 PM. On April 10th. I'm just so anxious for my watch to get here.
Currently still processing, and I check at least 3 times a day. I live in Dallas. Very jealous of everyone who has their watch already. :(

Charged....they can't put the money back on the gift card just like they haven't put the charge for applecare back on the gift card since April 12th... now it has a 0 balance and now the order can not be canceled bc it is preparing for shipment....trust me man this is a good sign for all of us that got changed and changed from processing bc everyone else on here that had this happen got their watch in the next few days but I'm thinking we all won't get them until Tuesday. Have a good night man.
 
The wait is over.

42SG BSB ordered 20h:13m:32s after pre-order open just went to PFS and money on CC is gone.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

I'm from Sydney in the land of Oz!
 
Omg 20 hours. Seriously. That's is total bull. Smh. You Aussie have it so easy lol. They are shrimp not prawns!!! Hahaha congrats.

Card charged over night and preparing for shipping. 03:45:04 EDT on 4/10. That's real nice. I'm going to have the watch in my hands before the 29th!
 
Card declined due to receiving a new card two days ago didn't think I'd get hit for a charge last night. Updated info on apple, still processing for now. Anyone else who got their card declined know how long of a holdup it was towards getting it shipped. I was at 38 minutes after orders opened.
 
I'm US and I'm 00:49:06
I figured it was going to jump soon bc I bet a lot of us that are in the first hour are ones that had issues placing orders with CC, gift cards, internet, overslept a little.
My issue was that I couldn't get the apple store app to take my gift card (which I learned later that I should have just placed the order and add the gift card later) so I had to wait to get to my computer later. Otherwise I would have been ordered in the first 3 to 5 mins. Oh well season learned.

Exactly. I'm one of the "my phone fell off the bed and I didn't hear the alarm oversleepers" :).

They moved fast over night as far as preorder time charged. I'm 42 SG BSB, XX:53:32.

Charged @ 11:37:32 last night, preparing for shipping...
