Maybe it is that I worked for Apple, but I am pretty sure that they would have to sign a NDA just like regular employees if they are in anyway working for the company. IMO

I don't believe saying that a product should prepare for shipment is breaking a NDA 3 days from delivery . They have never breached any secrets on this account t

That is part of the agreement that is signed when you start working with them is that you do not disclose any information that is known beforehand. And with the employees it is very few people who actually get the before hand knowledge of shipping and even things like prices. You are also told what limits you have to the information that is given out over the phone.

Either way it is still a mystery if you are getting real information or a guess. That is the mystery that is called Apple. 🙂

12:05 PST confirmation SS 42 mm classic strap. No charge yet, still processing. Hope we get the "preparing for shipment" soon. Good luck everyone.
 
Did anyone get an update on 38 SS sport band? Maybe I should have ordered a different band

Wondering same here. Most of the ones that I've seen preparing for shipment have been the Sport; I haven't seen many stainless steel preparing for shipment (or maybe because more people have ordered the Sport).

(I ordered 42 and 38 SS with sport band at 3:04 am EDT; still processing).
 
i'm in the US and i have not been charged yet for my orders my extra band, and my watch

So am I (US), also had my order in by 3:02am EST. some are saying status changes could happen anywhere from Monday- Wednesday.
Someone else started a thread with a google doc and it appears that almost 99% of people that have filled out their info on the document have not seen any change for the SS with black sports band.... Time frames ranging from :01-:27.
 
apparently

:d

*edit looks like little noah is already wearing his apple watch on his left wrist.
 
Some guy in the UK thread is convinced we will start getting charged about 2pmBST.

Speculation at best I think. The closer we get to Friday the chance of getting the time for payment right increases. Whether it comes out today or not, as long as I get mine on Friday....!
 
Another day gone. No charges in Sydney. WTF! Take my money please!

Keep strong mate, think tomorrow is our day. True what people say it takes quicker for goods to get here. Also no Aussies have had status changes yet which is a good thing cause that means we haven't missed the boat yet #
 
I think today is the day for the people who order the 24mm SS with the black sports band, will probably see a change on there order later today, 6:47am (EDT) Eastern Daylight Time, and I have no change yet still says processing
 
Are we still in the air which carrier Apple is using for delivery for the watch?

As far as I know, we still don't know.

However, if you analyze the flights, you can probably tell where the planes from UPS are landing after coming from Anchorage (which came from Shenzhen, China)
