I'm in the same boat. I've been charged for the SS with white sport band but it's still processing.
 
Location: Austin, TX
Model: 42mm stainless/milanese
Email confirmation: 2:05AM CST
Order time: around 2:03-2:04 AM CST, not sure how to tell exactly when I locked it in
Stage: Still on processing
Charged: No
 
I am in the UK. 38mm SS Milanese Loop - charged yesterday - no status change.

As I understand it, the watches that are preparing for shipment are still in China and so will take longer to get to their destinations and so the status has updated. The watches that are already in the destination countries only need a day to reach their owners and so the status will not change yet. I am 99.9% confident that anyone who has been charged will receive their watch on the 24th.:)

EDIT!
Update! My status has just changed to Preparing for Shipment!

Illinois USA - 42mm SG 12:03amConfirmation STILL PROCCESSING after being charged to my CC 24hrs ago. My bank app says I was charged on "4/23" which is in the future...so does this mean THAT'S when it'll be shipped and it'll go from a "pre-authorization/pending" charge to an actual complete "money has been removed" charge?? I sure hope so!!

Starting to feel a bit gutted :/

Still only charged for one
 
I'm xx:03 confirmation email, SG and still no word. At this point I have only seen :01 and :02 getting charges and getting updated shipping for the SG version.
Holding out hope for updates today.
While it was single most popular model, does seem silly that people ordering within 2 minutes won't get it on release day.
 
42 mm Milanese SS. Order confirmation 12:07 AM PDT 4/10. Still stuck at processing and my card has not been charged. Not really holding out hope for a Friday delivery.

My situation is even weirder. I ordered:

1) 42mm Space Black Stainless Link on April 10th at 3:02am EST with AppleCare+
2) 38mm Space Grey Sport with black band on April 10th at 3:03 EST with AppleCare+
3) a 42mm Green Sport Band Sport on April 20th with AppleCare+

On monday night, the 20th, three holds for $70, 50, 50 respectively showed up on my credit card from Apple Online Store...which means one of three things:

1) I'm getting all three this weekend (because in theory they don't do AppleCare until there's a serial number to attach it to)

2) I'm getting none of them and Apple is just going ahead and charging AppleCare to anyone with an open order (the Green watch wasn't supposed to ship until June)

3) I have no idea

Apple Watch Prepaing For Shipment

Preparing for shipment and my credit card was processed last night. 38 mm stainless Milanese loop.
 
Seems like no one in Mass. has received any status update. I'm in Mass. as well and have a 38mm SG Sport on order with no changes to its status.

Bah!
 
42 mm SS w/Milanese band
Ordered 4/10 12:06 PDT
Stuck in Processing

Columbus, OH is on the interstate and just a few hours from both FedEx and UPS distribution centers, so I am not completely without hope. But I went back and looked at an iPad I preordered in 2012 and I had already been charged and had tracking info by this point. :(
 
Listed in the order in which they were placed:

Sister-in-law's 38 mm Pink Sport 3:05 a.m. EST: processing :(

My 38 mm SS with black sport band 3:06 a.m. EST : preparing to ship :D

Husband's 42 mm SS Black Classic Buckle 3:29 a.m. EST: processing. :(

The pink sport is a birthday gift for the 29th so I hope it gets here before then.
