My Watch moved to "Preparing for Shipment" even though it still says "Ships in 6 to 8 business days".

My phone still says:

Processing Items Ships: 3-4 weeks
Delivers 10 Oct, 2016 - 17 Oct, 2016

:(
 
I would think they have to ship them soon. Unless they are putting this as a liability on the balance sheet and not hitting revenue, which I doubt. They are incentivized to get it out before 9/30 to have a respectable quarter.
 
Mine is still

Processing Items
Ships: 1-2 weeks
Delivers 17 Sep, 2016 - 24 Sep, 2016 by Next Day Shipping
 
As I posted in the Apple.com order thread, I've got a 7+ JB/256GB in the 04-10 OCT bracket as well...New to the iPhone Upgrade Program and my date changed during the ordering process. Order confirmation @ 12:15AM PDT Friday so maybe I'll see something in the next couple of days. Haven't seen any movement on my new Sea Blue leather case yet either and that is due for delivery next week.

Also wanted to add, before pre-orders went live I went on Amazon and ordered some goodies so I've got a Ringke Slim case in Matte Black, a LUVVITT clear TPU case, a Spigen Ultra Thin Crystal case and a set of Trianium tempered glass screen protectors already sitting on my office desk at home. They were all super cheap so I figured I'd try out a bunch of different stuff and maybe offer some reviews, though given I won't have the phone until who knows when...Maybe that idea was silly.
 
Added it to my cart. And then this on my screen...

Mine changed to preparing for shipment a couple of hours ago along with all the other people in the first batch. So with that in mind presumably there are finished units in China sat in the packing area ready to ship right now. If thats true then they will be sentout over the next 12 hours and be with us early next week. Can't see it coming any sooner.
