So all of us who woke up to "Preparing for Shipment" are now hoping for "Shipped" by the end of the day. If you get that notice today then you'll be wearing your AW tomorrow!
It's been hours since Apple cleared up the payment mess, but it's still back to "Processing" phase. I'm guessing I missed the early morning shipping cutoff, so I probably won't see mine go to "Prepare..." until later tonight.
:37, 4/24-5/8
Last night at midnight (PT - NorCal) I was still processing. This morning a Milanese band friend texted me that his is preparing to ship and card was charged. I checked mine and sure enough, preparing to ship and card is charged. That was at 7am. At 9am I got an Apple Store notification that my item had shipped and I now have a tracking number. Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow.
My first thought was "I might actually get some work done today." But then I got my tracking number, so now I know I'll be checking that all day. haha
An email with the "Shipment Notification" came at 8:48am.

Did anyone that received the "Preparing for Shipment" change this morning - get and update to "Shipped"?
Hoping we all get deliveries tomorrow...
Everyone that is still in Processing, hang in there, it'll happen and it seems like the process is beginning to move faster.

Received confirmation email on 4/10 at 2:27am Central Time, it changed to "Preparing for Shipment" this morning around 5:00am
CC was charged shortly after order status changed, waiting for tracking number now. Hopefully it'll be delivered tomorrow

What has been the typical time frame from "Preparing for Shipment" and "Shipped - now you can stop lurking on the MacRumors forums and start lurking the UPS website"?
I have a hunch those that can be transported by road to East Coast cities in time for tomorrow will be going out slightly later today than those that are being flown from Harrisburg.
Got Mine
Got good advice from an Apple tech over the phone week before pre-order. Ordered mine on the apple store app it went live about 3:10am-3:15 got the April ship date, but had first tried my 1st choice the space black with the black SS band, that has the May 13 ship date.
Got my SS 42 mm black classic band April 24. It was "processing" and then when it changed to"shipping" around April 22 then around 30 hours later it stated "shipped". I'm in Jersey near Philadelphia PA and they told me mine was shipping from Pennsylvania hence the one day ship receive. It came UPS. I was going to wait all day because it requires a signature but I ambushed the UPS man passing by and had him search his truck for it!!

I ordered April 10 and it was "processing" until around a day and a half before "shipping" came up. stalked Apple and they said "shipping" status usually last 24-48 hours, then its shipped. then mine came the next day on launch day

Mine arrived at my hotel in Charleston today. Was meant to be heading there on vacation from Ireland on Sunday but the whole trip fell apart today and I'm not going now.
Took me ages to arrange for UPS to collect it for me from the hotel and ship it on to Ireland but i think I have it sorted now.
Long story short, I might actually have it here in Ireland by Friday.

Probably Obvious
But I hadn't known that signature would be required. I received one of the older iPhones ordered online and it was left at the door when it arrived launch date.
Had to be told that this was signature release only. I have a house and the porch is secure and Amazon leaves stuff even big boxes all the time with no issue.
I was prepared to wait all day for it but lucked out and caught the UPS guy on his way somewhere else!!
Normally I hate the dog barking at nothing this time she saved me. He happened to be outside getting back from delivering to someone else and wasn't coming to me yet! On the Apple App store order status area it looked like it said It was 3pm delivery.
Good Luck

Wow, ordered on April 20 and already shipping? I ordered my 42mm BCB early evening on April 11 and I’m still stuck in processing. I’ve got a June estimated time but given how well these are moving I’ve been assuming it’ll only be a matter of a week or two now.
Edit to add: just talked to a coworker who ordered a 38mm BCB this past Friday and received his Monday. Grr!
Mine got delayed due to payment problems.
My CC tied to my Apple account was stolen after I ordered my watch. I called Apple last week because it would not let me touch my billing.
They changed it, showed they changed it. Went to check this morning, payment denied. Made no sense so I hit the button again and it went through but that probably pushed me off a day.

And maybe this will put some at ease... [edit: ups tracking confusion- package shows in harrisburg, delivery by end of day in ny]
Ah that makes much more sense.
