So after all this waiting, my debit card was declined and I don't know why. The balance in my account covers the cost of the watch by two orders of magnitude, so it's not a balance issue. When I went to the Apple website and tried to re-authorize, it failed.

Ended up changing my payment method to a credit card, which worked.

I'm guessing this has screwed me out of the watch for another week or two.

Gonna have to call my bank and figure out what the hell is going on.

BTW X1:36 (Austin)
WOULD HAVE CHANGED TO PFS!!!!

I read they will hold your order for a period of time to allow you to change your payment method when this happens. Lots of people have had to do this. Might put your order back by 1 day (24 hours to change your method), but probably not a week or two.

Hopefully it'll only be a day mines was declined also cause I had just gotten a new card last Thursday night so it missed the guys that went to PFS Friday but this morning it went to PFS along with everyone else this morning. ****** thing for me it was over Memorial Day weekend.

Just chatted with an Apple rep, who said that she confirmed that the payment against my credit card was already approved. I asked her if that meant I would move to PFS soon. She said that I could move to PFS any time between May 29 - June 11.

Even if it puts the watch back a day, I'm so pissed at the situation. I'm 99% sure my bank declined it because the charge was from California and I didn't tell them I'd be traveling there or placing orders from there or some stupid **** like that (they've done that before for online orders). They're only trying to protect me .... but GODDAMMIT man!!!!

Ah yes the ongoing battle between security and convenience. It's tough, but then if it's been weeks since you put the details into the website, that's a long time for an authorised payment to not be taken.

Looks like the poster above has not had to wait too long after changes his details either. Fingers crossed for you.
 
Ordered at 5:07:00
Status was changed to shipped on 22/5
Credit Card has yet to be charged
I have a UPS tracking number but only a lable has been created.
In Canada

On Friday I thought I would have it by today or tomorrow. Don't think that is going to happen. @#$%#!

What time zone? I'm PDT orederd at 0528a, so maybe charged today?
 
Looks like they switched the font of the site at least on mobile. Or I'm going crazy.
 
So the question I still have is.... Does your card get billed when the item leaves China or when it arrives in AK or KY?

I ordered 6:07am CST which i believe works out to 5:07 PDT. Still no change on my UPS tracking number. I am going to assume that its because of the long weekend in the US. Although you wouldnt think UPS would completely shutdsown for the weekend. That is if watches bound for Canada originate from the US, again just assuming they do.
 
I have an order from 04/10 at 11pm EST. I have to think at this point it will be at the very end of this date range. :/
