I think it all depends on what kind of watch you got. I got the 38MM SS w/ classic black buckle, didn't get my confirmation email until 12:10 AM PT, and mine is preparing for shipment.
 
Maybe 12:05 was too late. I too am in Stockton and got in at 12:01 and was all checked out and paid via Apple Pay in under 30 seconds. Mine has been charged and preparing for shipment.

I got a SS/black sport band at 12:03, and then after that got a 38mm sport/ white sport band (also at 12:03). I got a charge for the 38mm sport, but nothing not *my* watch (the SS one) yet.

What watch did you order? mine was the 42mm SS black sport, and i haven't heard anyone on any forums getting that charged yet
 
# not a single person ordered a pink sport on that list.
Granted it's only 297 people but still! Doesn't make me feel very good haha

Someone ordered the pink/coral. When my SG sport slipped to 4-6 weeks I went back and tried for pink - it too had slipped. The only one available was white so I took it - but I really like that coral band.
 
You guys better not wear your  Watch's in public!

Why not? I'm hoping that UPS will be the carrier cause I know my driver and can get together with him here in the next few days to meet him somewhere on his route before I leave for work at 9 AM so I don't have to wait all day for it to be delivered.
 
I ordered the 42mm SS w/ Milanese Loop at 12:07am EST. Still processing. Atlanta, Georgia here.

Same watch at 1:04am PST, nothing yet here in Boise. There's a Milanese loop thread where we have not seen any orders from 12:04 or later charge. We're thinking short supply, high demand, and harder to make than other bands.
 
Umm...I think apple is playing with my feelings. I ordered the Black and White sports band for SS. White one this afternoon changed to Preparing for shipping but now went back to processing tonight, while black hasn't changed status at all.... (Charged my CC for white already too).

I BETTER GET MY DAMN APPLE WATCH ON LAUNCH DAY!:mad::mad::mad:
 
Not sure if you guys saw this article, but it says a reader sent in a screenshot of shipping may 13-27 with preparing to ship status. Could be fake or maybe not.

Ohio. We will see I'm not convinced we didn't make the cut off. I got confirmation email at 3:03. I'd be SHOCKED if I don't get it.:eek:

I got confirmation at 3:02 and I agree: I'd be shocked if those of us ordering that don't get it.

I placed a second order at 3:15 or so for a black sport band and charger. the charger is still preparing to ship, but the band isn't scheduled to ship until later in may.
 
So now that the :apple:Watch is "Prepared for Shipment"

When do tracking numbers usually generate?

I want to call ahead and have it held at the depot for pickup :)
 
Ohio: 42mm SG Sport @ 3:02am & 38mm Green Sport @ 3:05am. Both were charged onto my card and both show "Preparing for shipping"!!!! :D
 
Patience. Consensus is growing that the SG Sporters will ship on Wed since the more popular watches are already at distribution centers. Im in the same boat and I have very little doubt that this isn't the case :)

Ive never been very good with patience... I yell at the microwave to hurry up, but I'm trying.
 
Anyone here, 42mm SS BSB? No? Something odd, I'm guessing somehow either the stainless steel models or the stainless steel with sport bands are in the U.S. waiting in the distribution centers if we have no shipping update.
 
Movement in Oz?

Something might be happening in Australia. I get a message saying:

We're Sorry.
The signed in account does not have access to this order.

Anyone else in Oz seeing this?
