42mm Sport Space Gray, order confirmation came in at 12:01:44 Pacific. The charge hit the card I used (Apple Pay) at about 2:45 Mountain Time, I'm in New Mexico. My order status switched to preparing for shipment about 30 minutes later.
Same here my wife's green sports went thru but my SG SPORTS black is still processing....
USA
3:04 est on both. Hell I ordered mines 1st then hers. But I did notice it too quite a while before the green band went to 2nd wave.....
Definitely seeing a pattern with the sport watches here. My 42mm SS with black sport band better be on the list.
From what I've seen, a lot of people who ordered 42mm Space Gray WATCH Sport at 12:02a or earlier are getting charges/preparing to ship. Everyone that I've seen who's ordered that model at 12:03a has yet to get a charge or "preparing to ship" status, myself included. Any exceptions?
I'm in Phoenix, and my debit card on Apple Pay has been charged and status has been updated to preparing to ship. I ordered the 42mm SS watch with a white sport band. My conformation email was at 12:05am.
Which watch did you order and what was the delivery date?
Did this just happen/get notified, or was it a while ago? Just wondering if they are still actively changing shipment statuses.
Now showing up as a "temporary authorization". 38mm Al Green. Status is now "preparing for shipment" 4/24-5/8.
Ahhh I see it. Newb here. Email says 3:03 am. So it looks like I'm in the same boat of everyone else who ordered the 42mm. Space gray aluminum sport. Still no charged card but I do have a delivery date of 4/24 - 5/8. Hmmm...
42 Space Grey Sport and 38 Silver Sport
I'm one of the lucky ones, apparently. Favorited the two watches I wanted in the store app, made sure everything was in order on the app (billing address, apple pay, etc.) started refreshing the app at 3:00 AM EST, and was able to get right in at 3:01. I knew I needed to order the space grey first, so as soon as it came up, I clicked buy with
pay, scanned my fingerprint, and the deed was done - an incredibly smooth process all around. Got my wife's 38 MM sport right after - both orders coming through at 3:01 AM. The store app with pay is undoubtedly the way to go for any future releases where there is limited stock.

Not a good feeling
seems if you got your order in for the space gray 42 sport by 12:02 you are good...anything after that seems we are screwed, I ordered mine 12:04

Can it really be because of a couple minutes after someone else you get yours 2 weeks later?
