why 4PM EST???

Its a little thing I like to call "trends." US orders started moving at that time yesterday, UK orders started moving at that time today (locally) and therefore I am assuming the same thing will happen today in the US.

You will be eating your own words from several of us who have 4/6 week delivery tomorrow if nothing happens :rolleyes:

Hey I'm one of them too and I said I'm assuming this will happen, not a guarantee. The assumption takes into account that people work on schedules and they'll likely follow the same one for one reason or another.
 
My account has been charged too, ordered Sports White Band at 08:12

Here's my bank account showing the funds have been ringfenced (rest paid by gift cert)

Don't worry about proof - I'm not convinced that someone who got charged for two watches - one in each group - are actually getting the second one earlier. Seems more likely Apple just charged for the whole order when the first one went through.

I hope I'm wrong. Has either changed to preparing for shipment yet?

I dont think that this is the case...I have been charged for my wifes 38mm white sport (had a 4/24-5/8 delivery date) and mine ( which i ordered before hers) is still processing with no charges to my account yet (deliver range of 5/13-5/27) for the space gray 42 mm sport. So its possible, at least to me, that these are separate instances in charging, not one whole order.

Great. Just great. I thought to myself when I got up this morning... You will check the forums a couple times then be productive. After seeing this... my productivity is going down the drain.

Don't worry, you will make up for lost productivity when you get your new watch, which will save you from pulling out your phone so often, right?
 
Now I'm excited too

This is my delivery date also however I dont get paid till Friday but still if I do get it earlier I will be ecstatic!

That makes sense, that some got charged it gives real hope to those that got in early on the 5/13-5/27 date. I don't think it will be release day, but even that's possible.
 
Just to confirm, the gift certificate I used to pay has been reduced to £0 as well

Might allow myself to get 10% excited

You lied! I didn't get charged! Troll! :p

Jk, it was wishful thinking. No charge though. :(
The wait continues.
 
Preparing for dispatch!

There's me hoping it'll be early. 8:01 purchase 8:02 confirmation and terrible delivery estimates. Sigh... Modern buckle what are you doing
