Mine too for an aluminum 42mm space gray with black band. Status says "Pre-ordered". They have charged my card.

I placed the order about 11:30 AM ET on 9/9 and the site was still advertising delivery on 9/16. We'll see. If I don't get it on launch day, I'm fine with that. It'll be my first Apple Watch and frankly, while I'm looking forward to using it, I'm not over the top excited like I have been for some iPhone launches in the past.

I got mine through best buy as well due to them guaranteeing me a watch on launch day and yes mine still says processing as well.

No charge on the card as well as no change from processing on mine. I check it at least once day. Don't expect to see it change til Tuesday-Wednesday though for two day shipping.

They have charged my card, though no further movement. Hoping for at least a tracking number later. I imagine that they won't be coming from overseas (most likely already in the custody of Best Buy).

Ordered a 42mm SS on 9/9. Credit card has a temporary authorization for the watch order (although not yet reflected in the current balance). Best Buy site status shows Pre-ordered and processing with an "Expected release date: 09/16/2016". Not exactly sure what the "Expected release date" means though...

I ordered my Nike version today so I have a long wait. It shows delivery by 11/11, I hope it is more like 10/11 :)

This is my first pre-order experience with Best Buy, but I can say from several online purchase experiences with them that when an item is shipped to me, the website has never reflected the actual status of the order. Most of the time, I get an e-mail from Best Buy letting me know my package has shipped a day or two after it already arrived at my home. I suspect this experience will be no different.

looking back at past shipments from best buy I got a shipment notice either the day of or at the earliest the day before the item actually arrived at my house.

My still shows processing

I ordered a Nike watch and extra sports band yesterday. Just got email and text confirmation my order has shipped. Of course it's the band only

Still processing here too. I just ordered on Sunday night, but it still showed delivered by 16th. I don't have the most faith in Best Buy, but hoping they keep their word.

Mine still processing too. I actually had the temporary charge fall off my card too, so they'll have to hit it again when it enters shipping.

Just checked my card and the same thing happened. Ugh. I guess if worse comes to worse I can try to order and pickup and my local Apple Store.

Im just guessing and this is only my opinion is that we could see stuff start going today,As they can 2 day ship these and not having to worry about the carriers holding the watch to break street date. Just my though and hope.

Still nothing has changed on my order nor have I been charged on my card even a temp charge that I have seen. Hope to see some change today.

Mine's still unchanged as well. Still not worried about it unless we get to tomorrow morning and I don't see anything.

I went to Best Buy's page and now you can't even preorder Apple Watch series 2. It says Notify me when Available.

Now I am concerned. Did they actually run out of their stock or did they even have the stock there to preorder that they were taking preorders for? I wish they would hurry up and update my order so I see some movement.
