Yes, I honestly feel bad when I sit around worrying about when i will get my watch. So many other things to be concerned with in life. I'm the type of person who constantly thinks about those who have to work in a factory 18 hours a day to make the wartch then think about other sad ****, like poor Africans and cancer :-/ yet here I am, in a Mac forum complaining about when I will get my watch.
Got a tip for us?

Thanks for the update... Didn't mean my post to sound nasty just wanted to clarify that I was posting based off what another person said. Hoping I can redirect to the ups store when mine comes because the UPS distribution center by me is a bad drive in traffic...
Yup. Although I received confirmation at 12:04 for a 42 ss milenese which hasn't been charged or prepared for shipment and which I'm now sure I won't get until next week, my charger is also coming to day.
I think I'll just sit on it and see if the time comes out of my mouth, or elsewhere. I feel I've been screwed by apple anyways.
Mine just changed, one step closer...
What time was your confirmation email? What watch?
Anyone who ordered around the 12:30 am est mark got charged yet? I was in the 4-24+ window, but my hopes are going down haha.
Its funny that when they were announcing the watch I had no interest, I just randomly woke up in the night and ordered, but now I'm really excited to get one!
I hope there are three UPS planes headed from Korea and China bound for Alaska and then Kentucky
Quanta Computer Incorporated is manufacturing the Apple watch. Quanta Computer Incorporated is a contracted manufacture for Apple. The Retina AMOLED display is said to be made by LG display. This is said to be one of the items in short supply. Check out Apple's Quarterly Reports to see their profit margin.
As far as anyone can tell, no one in North America has seen any movement on 42mm SS BSB.
You you you and me too brother. Frustration isn't the word. I need a different f word to describe it
Any other Canadian's getting preparing for shipment?
Ordered a white sport 38mm for the wife and a black sport 42mm for me. Both email order confirmations received at 12:03pst. Only the white 38mm is preparing for shipment so far....

I'm also in Canada. My wife's white sport 38mm is preparing for shipment, but no movement on my 42mm SS BSB.
Apple so far seems to be shipping them in batches, i.e. a bunch of white sport 38mm went first, along with other models, but no movement at all on 42mm SS BSB, and other combinations.
I've ordered a 42mm SS with classic buckle. I'm in Oxfordshire.
Not sure if it will be delivered by UPS or TNT. All my previous Apple stuff has come from TNT.
Good luck!

12:04 AM EST.
Tentative ship 4/24 +
42/SS/Link.
Initially zero interest. Currently curious, but not excited.
An odd feeling since I'm an enthusiastic person and satisfied Apple customer. Decided to buy just for the experience since I have a vast Apple ecosystem.
In lieu of a compelling experience I'll just pass it on to a family member.
Dont loose hope!
I have been watching this thread since the beginning and was starting to get mad that I had no movement on my order.
Dont loose hope! My order was just charged over night! My order still says processing, but Im guessing it will change over soon now that the charge has cleared.
Info:
Location: Michigan
Watch: Sport SG Black Band 42mm
Order Confirmation: 12:03 EST
Payment: MC (Just cleared)

I would think I would be right with you. Our location and watch are the exact same assuming you went with the 42. My confirmation was 12:04 and I haven't seen any movement whatsoever. I don't get it!!
For those is AZ, there might still be hope. There has not been a UPS flight from Louisville to PHX since yesterday afternoon. This was before the latest batch of watches was delivered to the hub. There is another flight scheduled to leave Louisville this afternoon and landing early this evening in Phoenix. Hopefully there will be 
watches on the flight. Particularly the 42mm SS Milanese loop.
