[wQUOTE=seando49;21047658]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?[/QUOTE]

Not happening to mine. Still have access.
 
42mm SS with Black Classic Buckle
Order confirmed at 12:04AM PST
Charged & Preparing for Shipment
Los Angeles
 
Ever wonder if Tim Cook and his cronies and sitting in a board room looking at these forums thinking... OMG we have them so whipped! Hehe
 
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 :)

"Prepared for Shipment" isn't a listed step on the bottom of the "Check Order Status" page....do you mean "Preparing for Shipment"?
 
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.

Yeah I ordered at 12:01 and 12:04 and I haven't seen anything yet. I'm sure we'll start to see changes tomorrow
 
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 was told by our FedEx guy that FedEx got the business this time but who knows...
 
Observation

I've been tracking flights all day and it seems that every time there is a large group of activity, it is when flights land at either UPS or FedEX locations. Apple uses their tracking facilities to update it's systems (or so it would appear.) There are three or 4 more flights from China arriving in KY and Memphis by 3 AM EST. 20 bucks says we will get some updates then. The first of these flights arrives in about 50 minutes... FedEX 5982.. Hong Kong to Memphis... A large amount of flights from UPS are originating in Anchorage. Just a thought..

Well since a few people have said that they believe the watches are in the U.S. in some of our distribution centers, do any of you think it's possible we could get them any earlier? Like sayyyy the 23rd?! :D

Apple has strict contracts that even if distribution centers recieve products day(s) before they are not allowed to ship until the date that Apple states they could be shipped. Sorry but you need to wait till the 24th

All the updates today were 3-5 pm est. Does that line up with a bunch of flights coming in? I think most are already here, but who knows.
 
I'm sure at whatever warehouse or distribution facility they are working around the clock prepping the watches for shipping. Activity might happen in the middle of the night (in North America per se)
