Apple CEO Tim Cook: We're 'Working Hard' to Remedy Apple Watch Supply/Demand Imbalance

I'm encouraged this morning as I checked my order status and the watch has prepared for shipment and the money was removed from my account. I ordered the 42mm Stainless Classic Buckle on 4/10 at 2:10 AM Central time. I'm in KY and this is great news. My shipping date is still the 4/24-5/8 window. I'm anxious to see what happens next.

If I'm correct your watch should arrive tomorrow omg the wait is the worst knowing it comes tomorrow I couldn't sleep in excitement :p
 
I ordered a sport grey 42mm with black sports band at 8:02 GMT, email received just slightly after confirming order. I'm yet to have any money taken from my account or the order is yet to changed to be dispatched. My friends who ordered the same watch in the next town to me at 8:03 & 8:04 both have got their watches. I'm the UK in Cambridgeshire.

Every launch day product on day one. Just not this one :( I'm so annoyed to see other people who's time are after mine changing to preparing for dispatch and shipped.



Please change mine Apple!!!! ⌚️⌚️⌚️⌚️#

It will balance out very quickly, as demand drops dramatically because the watch does nothing that a phone can't do.

Please post a picture for us then, of you with your iPhone strapped to your wrist, measuring your heartbeat, etc.

2. the actual initial shipments (vs orders) are VERY low due to production issues.

The production issues were reported on earlier this year. Angela herself was quoted as saying not everyone would be able to receive their watch on launch day. There were supposedly yield issues with the displays.

Whether that story is true, has been debated. But as someone who's wife works for an Apple component vendor, I can tell you they are very picky on QC. I remember how many camera modules they rejected for lens issues during iPhone 5s production.

Ordered 42mm SB Sport on 4/10 at 12:10 am (received confirmation at 12:12 am) Los Angeles, CA. Delivery between May 13-27.

Still no update or confirmation on shipping :(
 
There is hope folks. I ordered the 42mm Space Gray w/black sports band at 12:03, received confirmation email at 12:04, 4/10/15. Delivery dates of 5/13/15 - 5/27/15. Checked site this afternoon and status is now "preparing for shipment". Bank account now shows a pending charge from Apple as well. Have no idea when it will actually ship or when I will receive it but at least there is finally some movement. Hang in there everyone.
