Thanks for your post! I ordered on the 12th as well and just checked mine and it was charged and "Preparing for Shipment" too! Tried to look up the UPS tracking number but no luck so far...
I ordered a 38mm SS watch with Milanese on the morning of 4/14, and I was charged at 1:45am est this morning, and preparing to be shipped now.
Cool!! I ordered on 4/17 - so hopefully in a few days I'll see mine getting shipped too!!!
Omigosh
Thanks for the update this means I'm getting closer too!

Just an update on mine, it now has been shipped, with a 5/5/15 delivery date! Now I just gotta wait and see what happens with my 42MM w/Milanese, that has been saying "June", since 4/14/15
My wife's 38MM Milanese was just delivered an hour ago. It's a beauty. Now I play the waiting game for my 42MM Milanese
I ordered 38 mm SS Milanese on April 17.
My order status is now "preparing for shipment"!!
My original delivery date was May 20-June 3
my revised date from last week was May 20-28

My revised shipment date is the same. But my original date was 5/24 - 6/11. Then received the 3-4 week time frame for delivery (instead of the 4-6 week delivery). That email came two days after initially ordering since then I've had the "processing items" status with a delivery date of 5/20-28 like you. I was wondering... that update you got to your fulfillment time... was it just a couple of days after your initial order?
I talked to apple yesterday. They said basically you're in a line (I assume by order time) you're closer to the front of the line as it goes. Just trying to figure out how the batch goes...geography, time, shipping? We're in the same delivery date in just wondering how much longer now.... Even though I ordered 7 days after u.
I'm glad I waited to try on the watch instead of ordering @ the usual launch liftoff but....This Milanese loop has made me officially loopy.
***forgot to say! Congrats btw on ur shipments notice!

I ordered mine 4/27, have the 4-6 weeks shipping May 29-June 11 info. I haven't received an updated window, nor any other updates. It seems most 38's (whichever the size I ordered), are prepping a week before the base shipping date; some shipping even earlier.
I wonder if I'll be at the back of the line (latest shipping) since I paid with Apple gift cards? The already have the money

EEEEK! I hope not. I used a gift card too!
Hmmm someone in an earlier post said they ordered around the 15th they shipped already. Then just today another a few days later just got a shipping notice today....so I'll keep posting.
Thanks!
My order date was April 17th with a delivery date of May 20-June3.
Then on April 27th, I received the updated delivery date of May 20-28.
This morning (May 6), my status went to "preparing for shipment"
Just checked, and now it shows Shipped!!!
I'm in Wisconsin.
Hope I answered your question. Good luck on yours moving to preparing to ship soon!

Please keep posting ^_^
Although you ordered 2 days earlier than I did, you got an updated window (I'm still stuck in 5/29-6/11 processing hell)
You're lucky!
We are sorta neighbors, so hopefully ours both move close together (you're in Nevada, I'm in California) - even when yours comes, still post: pics and impressions, I'll do the same!

Howdy neighbor...well it's not location/geography then.
I noticed that in your earlier post our purchase dates are two days apart, but you're still at 4-6 weeks. Which made me wonder if there's a cut off for the "week" Sunday to Sunday. I ordered mine on sat night (25). The three people who ordered the week of the 12th are receiving their watches now in togetherness. Ours are probably back to back. I can't believe I'm obsessing so much about this. Refreshing constantly. Plus I have YET to see an Apple watch out in public, in person-on-a-person-on-a-wrist not at the Apple Store. And I'm in Vegas and most people here don't even live here.!!!
Same thing here.
I had my AWS on launch day, returned it to order this variant 3 days later - I haven't seen a single AW (of any variant), in the wild....
I too am obsessing over it - I knew when I returned it, to be okay with the wait - I thought I could do it , but it's harder than I thought - I will say this:
I love the AW so much, that I wanted a nicer one!
I figure they segregate shipping estimates by weekly cutoff, however, they may lump closer shipment brackets with later ones when they, arrive at one of the 3 UPS facilities (ours will probably ship from Ontario, California - my AWS did). So, if they receive a ton of 38 ML in that shipment - they wipe out the closest region and shipping window, then probably allocate extras into the next shipping window, relieving back orders.
That's just a guesstimate, though
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR Eightyone!
Me too!!!! Woot thanks for the update I'd just given up on checking for the night!! Yeeehawww! Happy shipping!!
So stoked!
You think we'll get it this week or next?!?
Do you think that if it's preparing for shipment tonight it'll will go out tomorrow? So Friday??? can I be so bold to assume??? Or have I completely lost my mind? I'm going to go back and re read some of the other posts to see how long an evening notice of shipment took to process. I paid with a gift card but didn't have enough for the tax...there's no charge yet or pre auth. No initial charge back from the purchase date either. After they take their $$ home free. It says preparing for shipment that much I know!
I paid with 2 separate giftcard - one with the AWS return amount & one with $10 over the difference in cost.
I wouldn't know how long PFS status takes though, since it did that the Monday before the 24th, last time (Apple doesn't deliver before release)

After reading the most recent posts I'm hopeful to get my watch by next week. It's so hard waiting I thought I could wait but it's hard. I ordered on 4/29 SS 38mm Milanese a couple of days after the posts above. Mine still says processing. Hoping mine changes to preparing for shipment by the weekend.
