I haven't seen any pinks that people have heard they are preparing. Mine was at 2:03 (cst). They must be on a later plane

HA! LOL. that is so terribly photoshopped. Only thing missing is some blatant use of Comic Sans.
I give up and joined just to ask....anyone on here order a 42mm SS Bright Blue Leather Loop? Haven't seen a post ANYWHERE about someone ordering one. I was late to the party at 3:09 (eastern) and got the May 13-27. Also, fwiw I favorited three models all 42mm SS bright blue leather, Milinases, and black sport band....figured I would order whichever had the shortest lead time and all were 4-6 weeks at 3:08!
Important news from the UK!
Stainless Steel with White Sport Band - my credit card has just been charged! It's showing the in 'Pending Charges' section which means it's only just been put through in the last few hours.
No change to order status yet.
Out of interest when did you order ?
Same thing happened to me, but even quicker. Chose 42mm SG Sport and by the time I got 3:04 EST confirmation ship date was into May.
Yeah, I am on edge waiting for my order to change... I got the 4/24-5/8 ship time frame as well.
I actually got an e-mail earlier from apple about my card being charged and about jumped out of my chair with excitement. That was until I realized the $399 charge was actually a $3.99 charge for my iCloud subscription...
Damn You APPLE!!!!

I live in Utah and ordered exactly the same model. I ordered and got the confirmation on 1:03 AM MST. Still processing and not charged yet.
However, I did order an additional charger cable about 10 minutes later and the cable was charged and is preparing for shipment as of yesterday.
Not happy..
is the time on your confirmation email necessarily when you ordered? I ordered mine and waited and waited and refreshed my email 10,000 times until the email said 3:04 am, but my order was showing in my account right before the order page went down at 3:02am....
Does anyone know if the time the email came in is the official time? I know Apple Pay was done and ordered before 3:02, the time changed to :02 just as I hit my home button to leave the app.

I second an earlier comment about ship dates and tracking numbers and Apple updates...my 6 Plus, which I had in hand on launch day thanks to UPS opening before I had to be at school, did not actually show as shipped till AFTER I received it. I only knew it was coming and was able to change it to pickup at the hub because I found it with my phone number on UPS.com. Otherwise I would have got it Monday!
I think the email is the closest thing to the actual time the order is booked into Apple's system. I had the 38mm and 42mm in my basket since 8:01, deliberated between them for a few mins, removed the 38mm and I think I started checkout at about 8:05, then the email came 8:07.
My delivery date said 24/4-8/5 the whole way through, and on the email confirmation.
I would've checked out earlier, but was walking into the office and someone stopped me for a chat - of all the times they had to do that!
Don't give up hope fellow 42mm Space Grey Sport fans! I just got confirmation that my card was charged a few minutes ago. I ordered my wife a White 38mm at 12:02 am which was charged and prepared yesterday, the 42mm Space Grey which was ordered at 12:03 am was just charged at 1:06 PDT today. I was getting pretty worried since only the 12:01 and 12:02 purchases were getting charged yesterday, but we must have just been on todays flight

The 42 pink i bought for my wife is still processing. My order confirmation was received 2:02 (cst) so i expect we will get ours at around the same time.

Just refreshed my Apple Watch aluminium case 38 with white band order page to discover that it's making its way to me. Location Birmingham UK.

This is completely random!
Apple took my money at 4pm but my order still says 'Processing'
Weird!

California, 38mm SS with black sport band, confirmation at 12:03AM.
Just got the Apple Pay notification, no change in order status as of yet.
Scratch that - just changed to preparing for shipment!

The times don't actually mean anything to even be considered "official". They're just being used for comparison purposes among people here of approximate line location.
