Apple Watch Order Statuses Shifting to 'Preparing for Shipment'

This is what I've been wondering as well. But I want to believe! We'll find out soon...
That is what normally happens but none of the tracking from others shows China as the origin. As far as I know they have all been showing US distribution centers.
I re-read your post and as such I'm not sure about the CC charges. I was speaking towards the shipping.
Surprised with no Watch word yet
I am a little surprised I have not heard anything yet on my order placed minutes after the order web page first came online at 3:02 AM on April 10th, 2015 in Miami Florida.
I had the order page pre opened and it said something like updating before it went online and I kept refreshing until it came online when ordering became possible at about 3:02 AM. Again it only took me minutes to make and approve my order and did get a verification e-mail from Apple
I did get the same what as I have read 70% of the people got which was the 42mm grey face with black sports band.
This is my order form that I have partly redacted:

What time did your confirmation email come in? Looks like it must have been after 3:06 in order for you to get a June delivery date. I wouldn't expect any movement on your order until late May since it is the most popular watch.
Wow, great questing and when I checked it my confirm e-mail came in at 3:19 AM. Where would that put me for receiving my watch?
If you go back through this thread you'll see people (including me) giving their confirmation email receipt in seconds, not just minutes. As in, mine was 12:04:08 and no movement - there have been a few reported :03s who've gotten shipment notifications, but us :04s (even mine in the first 10 seconds) have seen very very few shipments. All that meaning if you're at :19, it'll be a while.
I would guess the earliest you will see it is the last week of May but most likely sometime in June.
I'm in UK , I ordered the pink 38mm sport , confirmation at 8:05 am with delivery slot 24/4-8/5 , my order is on processing still , infact I don't know if any pink have been shipped ?
"I've got a bad feeling about this." I'm going to go to bed, cross my fingers, and hope for a miracle. Goodnight all.
I have yet to read about any pinks being shipped

The anticipation is the best part
Just found out that a lot of Apple shops have them in for sale today , so why pre-order and be told you will get it today ( I'm not ) they said they would not have them in shops , so is this why a lot of people have been let down ?
Are you referring to the 6 boutiques around the world that are going to have some for sale? I'm pretty sure no Apple Stores will have any watches for sale tomorrow.
That's what I was told , but if you go on apples website and click on the link for the shops that have them is a different story , apart from the edition they are limited to the 6 boutiques
That's a list of stores where you can "pre-order" the watch. You can't actually buy a watch in-store
There were actually a couple of news items I heard on the radio yesterday where Apple was pleading for people not to queue up today at the stores. It has been a mess, nobody can deny that...
I'm in the UK....
Watches ordered seperately:
42mm SG/BSB @ 8:03am - May 12th - May 26th
42mm SS/BSB @ 8:05am - April 24th - May 8th
No credit card charges!
No change to either order status!
Email of death relating to the SS/BSB received.
Really chuffed to see that plenty of people who ordered after me are receiving their watches today!

Thought I might be lucky, nope.
Spoke to one of their representatives and what do they tell me? You probably won't get your SS before May???
/sigh
Thanks Apple!

I'm still don't understand why people who ordered the stainless 38mm with black sports band were able to get one but if you ordered the same watch in the 42 mm size you were basically out of luck. But if you ordered a stainless 42 mm with a white sport band you were also able to get your watch today. It make no sense.

To be honest there's a lot about this entire affair that doesn't make much sense
