Still no charge on my CommBank account and no status change. Maybe if I obsessively hit refresh enough times that will change.
 
Card Charged

Good news my credit card is charged.
Status changed to Preparing for Shipping but date is still 4/24 to 5/8.

Question! Is it safe to assume that those who both get charged and changed to "Preparing for Shipment" today, will get their watch(es) on Friday?
 
No charges yet :(

Payment method: Citibank and Apple Store Gift Card

12:06 AM - SF, CAL
SS Black Sport Band
 
People in the UK, just putting this out there as a theory someone mentioned on Twitter.

Will UK and international buyers be at tail end of the 24/4-8/5 delivery timescale.

I'm thinking no but until my card is charged, I'm going to have this on my mind.

If that is true I will be absolutely fuming. Rubbing salt into the MacBook wound.
 
So the whole thing about using Apple Pay to pay for your Apple Watch and then between the purchase and today the card gets removed from Apple Pay (mine happened when I updated my phone to iOS 8.4 beta 1) actually does break your purchase. I read here people saying that as long as the payment is already processing you should be fine, but when I just now checked my order status it said that the payment can not be verified.

Luckily it gave me the option to update my payment info right. It game me the option to retry the purchase with the prior method or enter a new payment option. To be safe I just went on and enter a new payment option via my credit card (which is the same one I had hooked up to Apple Pay).

Hopefully it doesn't get delayed. :(

Also I preordered the 42mm SS milanese loop watch so looks like they are charging for it.


Did you do a clean install when you updated?
 
Only one of mine has prepped for shipment. I wonder if they're only shipping out one per customer :) Or maybe we just need to wait another few hours. I sure hope so. If my wife gets hers before me, I'll freak.
 
Preparing for shipment!!!! Never knew I was so CDO (Truly OCD people put the letters in the correct order!)
