Anyone else in the UK with 24/4-8/5 delivery date still saying "processing" and no charge as of yet?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Watch Order Statuses Shifting to 'Preparing for Shipment'

Clueless or playing dumb
I just got off the phone with Apple after hearing that some people managed to get some kind of an answer after calling.
The rep told me that the watch is scheduled to start SHIPPING on Friday the 24th so of course I corrected him, then I mentioned that I am reading about a lot of people who ordered the same watch as I did whom are getting tracking numbers and UPS is showing delivery dates and he said he is not aware of that and they should not be happening till Thursday...
I think I need a new rep who knows what is happening and has the balls to say "it will get there when it gets there but it will be the 24th and the 8th and I can't do anything about that"

This is probably correct. It would explain why my tracking information says label created on the 23rd. It says its Next Day Saver Air, which is typical for Apple launch shipments. Probably won't be picked up until Thursday, but then delivered Friday.
I'm in the UK and I am still waiting for a change from processing to shipping.
Apple have taken the money though.
Very true, lol at this point I don't even care if it is not delivered on Friday, I just want to see the damn payment taken so I know it is on the way. So much for the early preorder.
So basically, no one will be getting a shipped status on the apple order page until Thursday
Yeah, that would be my guess. Like several people said already, I didn't even get an update from Apple regarding the iPhone 6 until a few days after it was delivered
Good Sign, I was quoted the first delivery window too, for the same watch, I'm not sure if I have seen anyone with this watch getting charged/change of status yet. Hopefully my card will get charged soon as well!
I second this too. I remember when I first pre-ordered the iPhone 6 Plus, I was anxious for that thing to ship out because I was provided with no tracking information, but turns out they shipped it with next day air.
Congrats! I'm so jealous. I live like 10 minutes from Mt Juliet. I still have not been charged yet.
Thanks I double checked as well, and I had been hoping all this time it was leather, but on the watch page in the mobile app, it doesn't talk about the leather strap at all, thats where it got me. Good to know, we are not paying $150 for something other then leather!
When I called regarding my order on the first day due to the fact that I hadn't gotten a confirmation email right away, but I saved the confirmation screen from the apple store App... i was told then too that the watches will not start shipping until the 24th just like they told you. I think they use the words "shipping" and "delivering" too loosely as shipping the 24th could still mean it's being delivered that day as well.
I see all types of different Watch combinations, but I don't hear of anyone getting credit card charges or shipping on the 42mm Space Black Case with Space Black Stainless Steel Link Bracelet, which is what I ordered. I got my order confirmation at 3:05AM EDT I ordered thru the app and it did not go live until about 3:03AM EDT.
Still no charge on credit card and ordered with Apple Pay.
Anyone with the same order get anything updated?

Word is planes with them will be landing in Louisville late tonight. My guess is there will be lots of shipment notifications after those planes get in.
I'm in Utah, and ordered the 38mm White Sport as well as the 42mm SG Sport. Received confirmation on 4/10/15 at 1:10am MST. My delivery estimate on the White sport is 4/24-5/8, and the SG Sport is 5/13-5/27. As of yesterday around 4:45pm MST, the 38mm White Sport changed to "Preparing for Shipment" and my card shows the charge for that watch, while the SG sport has had no movement.
Plenty of reason to live, I am not holding my breath but I am not giving up either, I ordered 12:03AM if mine does NOT come by Monday to be "fair", this is the last thing I will buy from Apple, which is a shame because I love their products but this would truly be unfair.
Lucky!! I got a 4/24-5/8 ship time frame for the 42mm SG, So I am hoping it changes tonight or tomorrow for a Friday delivery...
The most common, Space Gray 42mm sport
To be delivered April 24-May 8th to Bay Area, CA
