Apple Watch Order Statuses Shifting to 'Preparing for Shipment'

I'm starting to get a REALLY bad feeling that the fact that so many of us SS people are not seeing movement is the exact reason why they gave the date of 4/24 to 5/8 on original orders. I very much hope I'm wrong, but I've got a bad feeling that they did that for a reason.

I ordered my second one on 4/13/15 (42MM SS white sport band) and it says shipping in June. Maybe you are a celebrity and Apple wants you to buy it ASAP. Any chance you and J.J Abrams are related? You are so lucky!
Same here!! Either the payment or the "processing" turning to "preparing for dispatch" I don't mind which just want to see progress ##
How do you check fedex with your reference number and phone number i am having trouble doing that
No they have one day shipping so if nothing tomarrow, than yes your are out of luck.
I ordered:
38 Milanese SS
47 Sports Black band
Both ordered 3:02am 4/10
Credit Card charged - Preparing for shipment status
UPS showing tracking numbers for Friday delivery
I'm in Jacksonville Florida
Can't wait #

Still Hope?
Just checked and it looks like there are 4 UPS planes headed to the Kentucky central hub, via Alaska. Hopefully there are some SS Apple watches on those planes.

I think that's the first reported US person to have a Milanese ship... Hopeful.
If you ask me, I think Apple chose the wrong product to "play it safe" with availability and regardless of what distribution method they are using (which no one can actually pin point) it is generating a nice handful of "pissed off" customers.
Granted we will not know for sure until Friday, but I still think Apple played it safe with the wrong product.

I hope you are correct. I'm assuming that the stainless steel models are made in and are shipping from a completely different factory from the sport model. I would also suppect that the finishing process for the stainless takes longer. I know I'm grasping at straws but trying to stay optimistic.
I refuse to believe that not having enough black sport bands would be the hold up. I work in the Buying/Merchandising dept for national retail company and everyone knows that black will always be your best color. Buying 101
Thanks guys. That takes a little bit of pressure off. I was really sweating it.
I don't know what I would do without ya'll ha!

Out of curiosity, where are you seeing that? I'm looking at http://flightaware.com/live/fleet/UPS?;offset=0;sort=ASC;order=origin and there doesn't seem to be anything going to Kentucky from Alaska, for UPS.
And it's a 3 minutes past midnight confirmation email.
Also not a SS with black sport band.
I'm assuming at this point anyone who ordered a 38 or 42 SS with black sport band is looking at a post Friday delivery date...unless those UPS planes heading into Anchorage are full of them.
