I think once all of the first wave people get theirs, we will start seeing movement. Considering people up to xx:10 minute mark got charges last night, and that's the stretch of the first wave, I think we will see movement later this week. More likely, a majority next week.
 
I just noticed that. I had a total brain fart and thought that was 3:10 AM. Disregard my previous messages lol.

No problem, fellow. We are on the same boat... :)

I fully understand your situation. I cannot wait for mine as well. Actually I will attend running race Saturday next week and I would be (obviously) glad to have :apple: Watch on my wrist by then. ;)
 
I was in this group, but I got mine delivered last Thursday to KC. When I originally placed the order it was the first wave but when it confirmed I was in this wave. Nevertheless, they shipped it last week and I got it.

and that's the part that seemingly no one can figure out... how/why yours (or anyone else in this group) got moved up... regardless, congrats on getting your watch!
 
omgomgomgomg My Apple Store gift card has been cleared out. My credit card doesn't show a transaction yet but my available credit is off by the remaining amount that I owe for the watch.

I think it may be happening!!! :D

I'm at XX:18 in case anyone forgot lol.

EDIT: And the charge just came through!!!
 
Just got charged...

4/10 00:17 Los Angeles, CA
5/13-5/27 Delivery

I just got charged on my card. Still in processing, but I expect that to change any minute to Preparing for Shipment!!!

Weeeeeee!
 
In the 4/24-5/8 thread people with XX:10:XX order confirmation times are getting shipment notices for their 42MM Milanese Loops. They are probably among the last batch before the 5/13-5/27 orders start going through!

I have an XX:14:XX confirmation email and an receiving my watch in NYC. I'm expecting to hear something by Friday or Saturday for a delivery due Tuesday next week but am completely prepared for a Friday 5/15 delivery.

With 3 minutes of orders still ahead of the x:14 group that have yet to ship I'm not so optimistic we'll get ours Friday of next week.

I still think this launch is horrible. For people who say, "you were told when you were going to get the watch and you accepted that" it's not like I had any other choice if I wanted to get the watch. I was dissatisfied with that ship time when I ordered it as well.

Just got charged 10 minutes ago (12PM EDT, 5/5) for my Watch and AppleCare+ on my card! My 5/13-5/27 shipping window (03:14:XX EDT 4/10 confirmation email) 42MM Milanese is now in Preparing for Shipment on Apple's site. Assuming I get a tracking number tonight, I expect to see it this Thursday or Friday!

So Lustan you're correct: we won't all be getting our Watches Friday next week. We'll be getting them Friday this week! :D

Hurrayyy, I just got charged. Actually it happened at 9:07 AM PDT, which is 10 minutes ago... :):):):):)

And obviously Apple Online Store says Preparing for Shipment...

I purchased SS42 Milanese Loop on April 10 at 12:17:03 AM PDT :)

It should ship today with delivery on Thursday latest, I guess.

Congratulations everyone! It seems a lot of people ordered in the <10 minute window while the website was down so there was a big spike of orders in the first batch. Now it seems minute-by-minute confirmation means nothing as we have people between :11 and :18 minutes with the same model getting their cards charged at the same time!

People at the :30 minute mark will probably see something within a few days!

Good luck everyone!
 
Yeah!

I'm in the XX:16 group and mine just went to Preparing for Shipping.
Oh happy day!!!
 
My 42mm SS Milanese with 4/10 email confirmation XX:17 Just switched to Preparing for Shipment after the credit card charge came in at 11:03 am CST.
 
When can I expect delivery?

That is a great question. I'm not use to seeing the charges come through in the middle day. The past week its been overnight that they have charged orders and switched them to preparing.

I'm thinking delivery is going to be Thursday or Friday of this week.
