I'm curious to when was the last time that anyone had a change to their status from processing to preparing to ship? I think I remember yesterday at 2pm eastern was a batch then nothing after that.

That's correct. Nothing has happened after that 2pm eastern batch yesterday. Perhaps today will be similar? One can only hope we can still get watches tomorrow.

It awkward that the previous nights had charges and changes into the late evening then yesterday it stopped at 2 pm eastern. It is like they ran out and it just stopped.

Any suggestions for what email address to use to send a complaint to Apple? I've heard of the tcook one, any other thoughts on a good email address that might actually get read by someone who actually gives a crap about whats going on here.

I know its not going to accomplish anything, but it will make me feel better and it is the principal of the matter too.

Best launch ever, not!

I am still in processing stage. No credit card charge. Last email was Wednesday night saying apple is working on processing the order. Live in Orlando, Florida.

42mm Silver stainless steel with black sports band.
Ordered using apple pay
Purchased on 4/10 right as it came online
Purchase complete at 3:01 Easter time
Confirmation email time stamp 3:02 eastern time
Delivery dates give 4/24-5/8

No watch, no charge, no change in status... What a launch Tim Cook!! Hooray for you screwing up your first new product launch. Did Steve just roll over in his grave?? I think so... Cook needs to be fired along with Angela!! Worst launch ever!

I don't think the poll is accurate at counting how many will receive a watch today, as those people are either not on the forum today or in a thread about how to use their watch. The point was to find out how many others were in the original launch window but still stuck in processing.
 
Well at least we aren't alone. Misery loves company.

Just for grins I thought I would chat with Apple and see if they could see anything "behind the scenes" with my order. As I suspected - they didn't have any other/new information besides "should get it between today and 5/8...please be patient..."

Ugh.
 
I just got charged at 11:26 ET.
My order status page immediately went from processing to preparing for shipment.
I'm in Charleston, SC
03:04:24 email confirmation.
