Has anyone got a reasonable answer from Apple? I tried to communicate with online store, and all I got are meaningless blablabla

theres nothing for Apple to answer at this point. Orders are shipping next day air, you could receive a shipping notification Thursday evening and get your watch Friday.
 
Me, and I’m quite irked. Processing twelve days and counting ... a 17 day window of cloaked secrecy and BS remaining

You could not get any confirmation and still get it. Parcel shipping is a crazy business sometimes.

Hope springs eternal -- for a retail shipping ethics plinth that seems to be picking from the end of the order-line. This over a base of people who ordered product moments after the release, instead of dealing with the log jam itself
 
Yes. At this point, I've given up any hope of getting the watch on Friday.
42 mm SS Milanese. 12:04.

However I will be receiving the extra charger tomorrow (Wed). I'll have to see if I can come up with something innovative to use it for. I figure at least a week before I have a watch, if not longer. Very frustrated with Apple now and will never order a new product like this again.

Look at it this way - you'll have this watch every day for the next 365 days (maybe 730 days?) a few extra days waiting isn't going to make any difference in the big picture. You'll still have yours months before the other 98% of buyers.

Just seems a bit much I guess you didn't see the 4/24 to 5/8 and in fact you have no idea yet if you won't get Friday
 
Same here still in process I hoping it changes soon, I order the 42mm Stainless Steel case with black sports band. There is still probibiity that we will still get are watches on Friday i have my fingers crossed
 
The delivery date is 4/24-5/8. Apple never promised it on the 24th from the start.
They sure did. They advertised "Available on 4/24", that they were available online only, and that pre-orders start at 12:01 AM on April 10. If they can't manage to ship a watch for delivery by 4/24 to people who placed their order at 12:02 AM, for any reason whatseover, they ****ed up.
 
I say everybody that got there order in early will get there watch Friday, you never know there could be some watches in the states already, That could be why some of us have not been charged or see any changes in are order.
 
Yup, I have two watches still processing, both 4/24-5/8 range:

42mm SG Sport- going to NYC (dad's bday gift)
42mm SS BSB - going to central VA

Yes and watches will be delivered on 4/24. But before people checked out, there was a time frame of 4/24-5/8. How convenient that you omitted that to prove a point.

Check your emails everyone. For those expecting it on 4/24 it gives a time frame until 5/8. Just stating the facts. Before paying the time frame was on the website so people stressing out need to relax. It was never promised on 4/24 when you bought the watch.
 
Sorry I live in the UK I ordered 42mm ss Classic buckle confirm email 8.02 am gmt.
No movement at all , I'm guessing no watch Friday.
But does anyone know why Apple don't seem to be releasing the stainless steel at moment?
 
Two 42mm watches. One SS with black sports band and one sport with white band. Still processing. In Sydney Australia. Not looking good...

In Sydney, Australia too. No movement on my 42mm SS with Black Sports Band either. I know they said delivers 24/4-8/5 by Standard Shipping, but I never thought it would not arrive on the 24th.

A two week delivery window is pretty large.
