I don't know which space grey people all over the internet are getting notifications. I have seen no charge, no change and I don't know what others did different. I do know that apple didn't consider the order placed until the confirmation email. I just heard form a rep that regardless of my apple pay being finished by 3:02 it doesn't count till the email which came at :04... but I have friends and family who ordered far later and got their notifications monday. I don't know what can be the difference. I know people are saying Space Grey is starting to move but I saw them moving Monday. Location is the only possible answer. I am in Atlanta and only know of 2 SG but they were 38s... i give up. Officially. Im done refreshing. I reached my limit. I quit. If they text or email, great, otherwise, Im going to go eat a whole pizza salted with tears.
Got a tip for us?

Also nothing for me but no eod. I had a 12:03 PST confirmation. What time was your confirmation?
In IL ya thinking we are going to be out of luck for tomorrow. Haven't heard and SS BSB go out today.
My SS shipped but nothing on my space grey for my son. I hope you get yours Madman8.
Looks like the SS link that I ordered is still being made. To be fair, Apple stated the wait as soon as the store was up on the app (I don't think the link was ever available for launch date) so I can't really grumble although I did get my hopes up when orders started being brought forward.
Ho hum - I'll enjoy reading what you lucky sods think of the new toy while I wait for my ever so fashionable (and exclusive) watch to get shipped by carrier pigeon from Outer Mongolia

Yeah I'm waiting too for my space black! But my friend got the silver, we ordered at the same time and he got charged yesterday!
No doubt that Steve Jobs would've been proud of the product and the demand for it. It is "insanely great" and definitely is a solid Apple product. He would have been upset with the whole release scenario. Online only? These should've been stuffed into every crevice of the apple stores around the world and let us all line up like we do for iPhone. The merchandise that would've sold just as a result of people being in the store is a missed opportunity. I also think that the 38 different models is overkill. It should have been "á la carte" pick the body you want then the band. The choices are overwhelming for some people " I witnessed this first hand at two apple stores" The iPhone system works well pick the size,color then storage. I don't see why we need to order online then go see if we like what we ordered. Makes more sense that you go try on walk out with what you want. Now you have to try it on go home order it. And come back if you want personal setup. I think Apple had some issues with production they didn't anticipate aftrr they announced the release dates. And the whole pre order situation was the cover up. Just my opinion
Hi folks!
Apple watch Sports, Space Grey, 42mm
Just noticed on my online banking that the £339 is pending and it has disappeared from my available £
Must have happened the last hour or so as I keep checking...
Status is still processing though...
I'm in Liverpool, UK btw
Received confirmation 8:02 on the day of order...
Same as yourself have you had and change yet I've had nothing
Nice! With some 12:03 orders being filled it's only logical that 12:04 would be next. Apple, if you are watching skip my order and fill MadMan8's first, please. Thank you! Oh, then you can fill my order after you are done with his.

i really wish they would charge me...My Watch Order Time..
Really interesting.
Ordered 4 watches. All separate orders. Timestamps are from the email from Apple that I received confirming the order (not sure what others are using).
3:04am EST - Apple Watch Sport 38mm Space Gray w/ BSB
3:05am EST - Apple Watch 42mm SS w/ BSB
3:06am EST - Apple Watch 38mm SS w/ BSB
3:09am EST - Apple Watch 38mm SS w/ BSB
I have two watches with UPS Tracking numbers....but it isn't the first two orders.
BOTH 38mm SS w/BSBs are shipping, but NOT the first two.
This should be a good indicator of what you can expect if you are before or after any of these times.

I am in USA, KY and I ordered 42mm Space Gray Sport with Black Band and I got charged this afternoon and just got updated to "Preparing to Ship" about an hour ago. I don't know when I will actually get it yet because UPS and FedEx still don't show anything but all hope is not lost just yet. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Even if it shows up Monday that would still be cool.
PS My EMAIL order time was 2:03am CST via Apple Pay (Credit Card)
I got that Email they sent yesterday saying they were working on my order also so I guess that wasn't the email of death??? lol

42mm, SS, classic buckle - UK, 24/4 - 08/5 STILL NO CHARGE AND STILL PROCESSING!
No hope for tomorrow
Still in the same boat

Da faq??
Three days later and he is getting his tommrow and that too on one of the most popular models??
What is going on?
UPDATE
IT SHIPPED
Had to check the Apple Store App. Did not get any email notifications from Apple
I get that feeling too...
I keep refreshing the Apple store but at this point I'm not even expecting to see a change from "processing"
But I still do it, I've gone insane....
