Hmmm

There clearly isn't a pattern at all here to them filling these orders. I live in San Jose and preordered a space grey sport 42 mm with an amex and have yet to be charged. Cutting it close now too. Anyone in the bay area with a 42mm SG been charged?
 
I wonder if it could be credit card used?

For example, I order a 42MM Steel Sport at 12:03, no change yet, AMEX
GF order a Blue 42MM Sport at 12:03, VISA, charges pending.

AMEX has essentially no limit, so billing and processing is not in question. VISA and MC usually have a limit, so the processing of the payment and confirmation prior to shipping would need to be confirmed in ADVANCE and then confirmed and done. with AMEX there is essentially no risk for Apple to prepare shipment, bill, receive funds, ship.

ordered 42 SS black sport band
i used my AMEX Gold no limit @ 3:04AM EST got conformation still nothing else and order is still processing
 
Still nothing here. UK (Haddenham, Bucks), SS 42 Milanese; order confirmation came through at 8:05am (4 mins into window). 24/4-8/5

I used HSBC Visa debit card and nothing yet taken, but then it normally takes a day or so for charges to turn up. Still processing on Apple Store status...

I'm still hopeful though, as it doesn't take that long to ship and I seem to remember Apple things in the past not changing status until surprisingly close to delivery date.
 
Christmas Came Early!

So excited!!! Ordered my 38mm Space Grey and 42mm Space Grey on the 11th after the girlfriend and I tried them on and we weren't supposed to get them til JUNE!!!!!

And they both are preparing for shipment! Apple is on top of their game!

Merry XMAS!!!!!

And I just checked my bank account and the full amount was withdrawn. 2 months earlier than they told me!

I find that hard to believe. Proof?
 
Awesome! Then you'll have no problem taking a screenshot from your phone of either apples website or that text message confirming it. Otherwise, he has a right to be skeptical

I have nothing to prove to anyone. I just find it funny you all get bent out of shape because your watch is still pending and not preparing for ship yet.
 
Anyone with a June availability see a change or a charge yet? It could still happen, right?? RIGHT?? I'm in denial. Next time I'm preordering day of, then just canceling if I don't like what I see at my fitting. Placing an order on the 16th was a tad too late...

From what I can see, it is all random, I know a tone of people in the bay who pre-ordered and are still processing, but as mentioned before, a neighbor of mine pre-ordered a Sport SG at 12:22 with a SS (both 42mm), he is charged and preparing for shipping on both watches.

I can only see randomness. I will admit I am worried but I will not count my chickens before they hatch, I am just hoping it is in my hands by 10PM Friday.

Mine has been "preparing for shipment" since yesterday. So no, I'm not bent out of shape like you claim. It's just dumb that you have been consistently posting information and when someone asks for proof you flip it and say "I don't have to prove anything". That's fine, you don't, but forgive everyone when they don't believe you and call you out on it. Oh and I can't wait until tomorrow when you claim yours has been delivered. Don't worry, you won't have anything to prove to anyone.
 
Everyone, calm down. Take a breath. The apple watches are not shipped to distribution centers all mixed up on pallets, certain styles and types are shipped together to lower confusion in the shipping process, therefore many people have not seen their watch update status or be charged because the pallet of your type of watch has not been processed or delivered yet. Specifically like in my situation with the 42 mm space gray version.if you have the shipping date of April 24 to May 8 chances are you will get it this week specifically Friday. Everyone just calm down because even if your Apple Watch delivery date is into June just know that You have an Apple Watch coming. Apple is on top of things and is expected to ship even those Apple Watches early. Good luck to everyone and enjoy your watches when they arrive!
 
Stock iPhone 6 Plus

I just restored my iPhone to factory settings on 8.3 to prep for my :apple: Watch. It makes me so sad not to have my tweaks that make my iPhone SO much more functional. :( Here's to hoping my watch arrives Friday to soften the blow!
 
ordered 42 SS black sport band
i used my AMEX Gold no limit @ 3:04AM EST got conformation still nothing else and order is still processing

Do you really believe there's no limit on your gold card? Amex gold cards are pretty easy to get hold of. I have an Amex gold card but just because they don't specify a limit in figures such as Visa and MC doesn't mean there isn't one...the limit will be based upon your income.
 
Fellow anxious people who haven't had their order status switch yet: There are currently 5 UPS planes that are hauling absolute ASS to Anchorage. I expect these have the remaining SS/Various Sport models for launch window in them. We should be seeing more status changes change this evening as they make their way to Louisville. Everyone keep calm, they're on the way!:)

Agreed. It seems like certain models/colors have updated and others have not. I have a pink Sport coming and I ordered my dad a SS black after I ordered mine. His has changed and mine has not. So I know (or at least am pretty sure) it is based upon what you ordered. Both of us have April 24-May 8th and mine was before his but different watches will show at different times.

I'm in Oakland..I preordered at 12:20am on 4/10. I got my card charged and a preparing to ship email yesterday around 4pm. I ordered the sport
 
Still waiting

Ordered 42mm SS black sports band at 2:03 CST. Still no charge and shows still processing. Used Apple pay. I'm in Nashville 3 hours from Memphis and 3 hours from Louisville. Both are large hubs for UPS and FedEx. So I'm still hopeful for a Friday delivery.:D
