42mm SS w black sport band 00:06 processing
38mm Sport w white sport band 00:11 preparing for shipment

42 is for me :(
 
How did you search UPS for tracking if no number has been issued yet? I know it can be done, I'm just unsure on how to do it... Thanks!

FYI for anyone that wants to know-------------------------------------------

The Black Sport I ordered at 3:03am (EST- NYC) went to "Preparing for shipment"

The SS Milanese I ordered BEFORE that at 3:02 is still processing!

For UPS you create a UPS My Choice account and basically any shipments that come up routed to your address will be placed into your account.

I didn't mention in first point, but its a Sport 38mm.
 
Ordered SS with black Sportsband within the first minutes in Germany. Still no change, but that's okay because it ships with express shipping. My iPhone 6 had the same and it was shipped on wednesday evening and it arrived in time on friday.
So if your shipping is express, hang in there! There's still hope! :)
 
Does anybody in the UK have their status change to Preparing for Shipment yet? I'm waiting on the 42mm SS Watch with Black Sports Band. My status still sitting at Processing and my card hasn't been charged yet. I'm constantly checking order status... Think I'm going insane, insane, insane!!!!!
 
news flash......

in a couple of days, Apple Watches are going to actually start ARRIVING at customer's homes! YES! For reals! Of course, we will need a MacR story to astound us with this totally unexpected news, but trust me, it will happen!
 
Ordered mine at 12:02AM. 42mm Stainless w/White Sport Band.

I looked up my UPS tracking number by searching for my phone number under Reference. Found my shipping/tracking number and it shows it is shipping via UPS Next Day Air Saver!!

I'm a bit surprised the package weighs 3.10 lbs.
 
Why is mine still on processing items??? Confirmation on 5:04 (Australian Time) and delivers 24/4-8/5. I see some other people with 4-6 week delivery dates and they have "Preparing for Shipment". If any one can answer this, it would be much appreciated. I am dying for one of these!:confused:

So wait, if I understand this correctly...
1) Order the cheapest sport band and get Friday delivery....
2) Order anything more expensive, and you get to wait indefinitely!

Right....

nope. A lot of people ordered the watch and are getting it on Friday.
I got the watch with the Milanese loop and it should be here Friday.
 
Mine appears to be arriving tomorrow :) 42mm SS Milanese loop.

I ordered my 42 mm stainless with Milanese at :07. Shipping says normal 4/24-5/8. I had AppleCare charge of $69 on my credit card for a couple of days but then I just looked and it disappeared #. I hope I still get it Friday! My order still says processing. Any thoughts?

Surprising... I read more comments, it looks like sport models are going faster than SS models.
 
I ordered 2 42mm SS with black sports band at .04 after the hour on April 10. The 2 watches were charged at that time as i received approval sms from the bank at that time. Mine still has Processing.

Hong Kong Tuesday 21st 3.35pm
 
Apple Watch Sport White

Ordered on 4/10 got confirmation at 12:10 Location:Cali
Preparing to ship.
Checked UPS and see that I have a tracking number and is scheduled to arrive tomorrow via next day air saver. I am assuming that means to the UPS hub. They should probably make that more clear as one could possibly assume it means they are going to be receiving it tomorrow.

If it states a delivery date on UPS that usually means to you not a HUB. However that date could change, due to in the past Apple has holds placed on new releases until the release day.
 
Meh. Personally I'm not really that fussed. I have ordered an  Watch but I'm really not bothered if it arrives on Friday or not, after all I'm goin.......

....... Jesus, is that two moons in the sky :D

I wish it was so, I haven't seen any comments from the UK on shipping changes. :(
