really? you ordered it yesterday and its now prepairing for shipment. location? US?
Yes, as mentioned before, the white watches are not as in high demand. Mississippi, US.
what was the time window between when you ordered, charged and switched to prepared for shipment? just wondering when i should expect movement possibly.
well i only have a $700 spending limit on my account so they wouldnt be able to ship my SG and the white one at the same time. one would get denied whichever ships later.
This keeps getting posted but it really isn't an excuse. There are 38 different watch configurations, compared to 72 different iPhone 6/6+ configurations.
I... am going to continue to wait for the Space Gray because I like it more. So weird, some of you people. 
Ok. I admit it, I got the white 5S because I ordered my wife's first and by the time I got to mine the space gray 5S date had slipped, but the white hadn't, so I ordered that one instead. It made it easy to tell our phones apart, yeah, that's it.
We are kind of pathetic.

Oh, and cut what losses?
This is like switching to the faster moving lane in traffic. As soon as you get there, it slows to a crawl.

I rolled the dice and just ordered a silver aluminum sport with a blue band about an hour ago. Not expecting it tomorrow, but maybe it'll come sooner than the elusive Space Gray.
Honestly, it doesn't matter anymore. Tomorrow would be nice though...
Now I have 3 orders in the system. Let's see which one they cancel.
38mm SG black band May 13-27
42mm SG black band June

I want the watch that they promised me two weeks from now yesterday because I saw some posts on a forum. Is that so much to ask?
Apple has years of gray aluminum casted devices so production problems seem unlikely to be the reason for the shortage. I am starting to think maybe the Space Gray (even though an attractive watch) was not the eye catcher Apple wanted in the wild to start. This new part of business has all kinds of fashion marketing methodologies being sprayed all over it by the new retail guru. The SS with a white strap that TC was wearing on stage was surely test marketed and decided for a reason. A white strap grabs attention a gray watch with black strap does not at a distance of more than a foot. Even though gray has been a consistently more demanded color with previous with iDevices, the white strapped watches will create a larger forcefield of curiosity and envy. Isn't that how fashion marketing works? Get ready for Fendi and Gucci Apple watch straps!

Was it the SS and what size? From what I've been reading over the last few days it starts with a charge then you see a status change within a couple of hours.
Congrats!
