Apple Watch Pre-Orders Now Shipping for April 24 Delivery

Apple clearly stated delivery between 24-Apr to 8-May, that's the two week window. If you don't get it between those dates then you have every right to be pissed, otherwise you're just overreacting..

Well thats an interesting point. When I was doing ordering at first the page on Apple Store App on iOS said Apr 24th, then confirmation page and the email said 4/24-5/8. My confirmation email time stamp is 3:08am EST
 
What a relief ... my Space gray 42mm sport 04/24-08/05 just shipped delivery tomorrow !!! YAAAAAAAAASS !!!

I'm sure there are lots of lessons to be learned (such as don't promise a product in "early 2015" in September 2014 if you can't deliver), but I'm not sure why Angela Ahrendts is taking the brunt of the criticism. Most of the screw ups lie with supply chain management.

If you are Angela Ahrendts, you are dealing with overwhelming demand over the most diverse product lineup in Apple's history, and a shaky supply chain. Whatever you do, you will be criticized for it. If you cut off pre-orders and force everyone to join lines at the stores, you'll be criticized for not having pre-orders for a product that was announced 7 months ago. You'll also be criticized when the initial supply runs out in hours or even minutes, and when only the "wrong" combinations are available in order (e.g. you ordered a bunch of regular aluminum watches and everyone wanted the space gray). If you try online-only, as Apple essentially did, you'll upset those who woke up early and are getting their orders later because they ordered the models you didn't produce enough of beforehand. Apple actually tried to accommodate with the try-on appointments. People complained because the appointments started after the pre-orders mostly sold out. But if the appointments started a few days before, people would have complained that they couldn't order the product even though they just tried it on.

You, my friend, make a very good point. i guess i should take back all i have said about Angela. i guess this was a loose loose thing for her. you can't please everyone.
 
So...

I've been posting a lot of questions. Around 2:30pm, our credit card was charged for my 42mm SS Milanese Apple Watch. Then Apple updated my account quickly to "preparing for shipment" and I just got "Your item has shipped" with a tracking number (that isn't working yet).

Now we are waiting for my husband's 42mm SG Sport Watch. No updates on that yet. He ordered his at 3:03am (that's when he got his confirmation). I'm getting more hopeful. He isn't, but I am. Any others in a similar situation?

When did you order/location roughly, and when did you get charged and get notified by apple? I'm sorry for the questions! Trying to give my hubby a positive outlook! He's sad because he ordered his at 3:03am (eastern standard time) and mine was at 3:07, but a different model. Thank you!!

May I ask what model you purchased?

Actually I'm interested in anyone with an initial June shipment that's gotten shipping notifications what model they ordered? Anyone want to start that dialogue? :)

Starting to slowly hate you guys... I was going to do 42 Sport with black band but went with SS model because of sapphire and SS....
 
Now, finally, Apple has changed my status to shipped... but UPS still says they haven't received the package yet so they can't give me a delivery date! LOL! I guess I'll just stop worrying about it. It will come when it comes.

Hey! I got the 42mm SS with Milanese! It's my husband that got the sport who is now not getting his, even though he placed his order 4 minutes before me. I think it may have to do with the fact he got the black casing and not the regular aluminum casing. I dunno. I'm just happy mine is shipping. Graduating with my M.Ed in Reading Education and I really wanted to rock my watch at graduation next week! :cool: I just hope we get my husbands watch before then. He's slightly jealous!
 
Well now people are getting the watch in other parts of the world... And we here have to wait until next week or so... Pretty sad really. I dont like what you doing Apple dont like it at all !

No problem at all. I ordered immediately once pre-orders went live. Toronto. got charged a few days ago, and yesterday.

Good luck! I hope you both get them asap.:)

Congrats!

Had you gotten the EOD?

I am not understanding the method by which Apple is fulfilling these orders. I am about to quit thinking about it, and just enjoy my weekend. It'll get here sooner or later.

No email of death for me. No email at all from apple except that it shipped.
 
Just got off the Apple support chat, Gave them my order # & was told that i should receive all my email info etc shortly. Told me i was in the first wave * SG BSB 42mm 2:04am CST* .. Just a bit ticked about the feeling of being "leaped frogged" by those who pre-order after me. gotten nothing so far. Still holding out hope. Also got that EOD .. so that also got me worried a bit more.. Just wanna be one of the first people in my small town to own one heh..

I'm surprised they told you more than what your order already stated. I was on the phone with Apple earlier (unrelated to Apple Watch) and asked about my Apple Watch order # cause I figured why not and the lady told me they were instructed to quote whatever the shipping estimate said but was nice and told me they're hoping for those to be worst case scenarios and hopes they all ship soon.

It seemed like i was talking to a cyborg .. a lot of automatic pre set answers & a bit of human ones... But he said everything is in order & i should get my info soon ... It's almost 8pm CST ... not looking good at all. Anyone here gotten any updates?
 
My blue 38mm Sports just got its UPS tracking updated, it's in Ontario, CA and will be delivered tomorrow by 3p.m. in Phoenix. They are cutting it close. Usually, when I order items, they arrive the day before and then get on the truck early the next morning, so this will be a late night delivery and then quickly put on the truck I guess.

----------

So one of my watches is being delivered tomorrow but the other (Apple Watch Sport 38mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band) which was ordered at 12:03a.m. is still in processing with the 4-6 weeks delivery status.

So they are people who are getting a SG Sport tomorrow? When was your order time?
 
I've tried looking through the comments and on other threads and may have missed, but has anyone received a shipping notice and also received one of the "reassurance" emails? Sorry and thanks in advance.
