Apple Watch Order Statuses Shifting to 'Preparing for Shipment'

I'm worried I never saw any type of charge. No authorization, nada zip, zilch, zero.
Apple Pay and a Chase Visa. Does this make sense. Will I just not see anything till the real deal?

I think as long as your order shows processing, you should be fine. They will typically let you know if there was a billing problem. But, it may not hurt to have them verify the payment method is good. Start a chat from the order page and ask them.

Yeah I'm sure. I thought it was through Amex for a long time also, but if you go to settings on your iPhone and click on "Passbook & Apple Pay" then click on your credit card you can turn on and off the notifications. Can't explain how they know about all of your charges but they do. I really like that feature, though. Good to know up to the second when a charge hits your account.

And to your other point, my wife doesn't have hers registered at all. Not just notifications turned off.

I could be wrong, but I think that is how it works. You can't turn notifications on and off in the Amex app.

You don't turn the notifications on and off in the actual app. You have to go to the Apple "Settings" app, then "notifications". You'll see it there and can disable notifications for the app.

Once my card is charged I definitely want to mess with that and figure out how it's actually working. I love being notified literally within seconds of a charge to that card, but would love to know where that's actually coming from.

I did look at the Passbook/Apple Pay settings you mentioned and do see where you can enable/disable notifications there too. Not sure which one is actually doing that. I'll figure that out after my watches ship.

Did they forget to even MAKE any? I know that is a ridiculous question, but I have not seen ANYBODY post unboxing, or any videos of the  Watch black sport band.

I wonder why apple is being so secretive. Just SAY something!

At this point it is what it is and the Delivery window is still open though. I haven't seen any SS watches move yet. Bet the boutique shops got some though.

I read earlier that the Dover Street stores in Tokyo and London received a total of over 900 watches to sell in their stores today.

I'm still pretty sure it is the passbook app because if you click on your card (where you can turn on and off the notifications) it also lists all of your recent transactions. On mine at least these are some Apple Pay and most non-Apple Pay transactions. It looks like they know all of your transactions. I'm guessing that is where the notifications come from.

I just had my wife sign her card up with Apple Pay/Passbook. We'll see tomorrow when she goes shopping! ;)
 
Happy Launch Day!

For all of you that was lucky to receive your watch....Congrats and hope you are enjoying your watch for all of us that are still patiently waiting and watching our online status change from Processing Item to Preparing to Ship or hoping our credit card shows charged soon.

To all 42mm SS BSB....not sure what happened and why?? but here's to another night of bittersweet sorrow. May your dreams of happiness fill your sleep over the nightmares of these last few days. Our watch will come, but unfortunately not when we expected it.

It must be that we are the special ones with the most unique Apple Watch ever!!! Hopefully the wait we are enduring will be of great expectations!

Don't let this ruin your weekend.

Desperately waiting! Goodnight!

I was just about to say that. Bring in the planes. I wonder if there is always this many UPS planes or is this special. Going to check in 5 months.

This may be special for new product roll outs. I have been watching them fly in like this all week. I may need to get some semblance of a life back. ;)

It seems there are almost always 2 flights inbound from China every day, then an hour or so later, handfuls of flights leave AK inbound to TN. Roughly 4 th 5 hours after landing I tend to see a surge in posts that cc are charged. Mostly have been sport versions but a few SS.

I really do wonder if they are just going to dump a bunch of SS into the system as the data from the Google sheet suggests very little activity.
