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)

If MI5/CIA told Apple fans terrorists were their missing Apple products, they would be tracked down in now time :p
 
Great way to do iCloud Phishing: "Guys give us your iCloud email, and a password" (that many ppl keep the same across services)

Site doesn't ask for a password, and give a random one when users sign up

Just signed up. Will be an interesting way to check out this feature. My favorite part of Apple launches is talking to the people waiting in line with me who are just as excited about the stuff as I am. This forum and that site will help to bring the launch experience home.

I'm crazy enough to love the experience that when I upgrade to the 6s Plus, I'll be arranging for my JUMP purchase to be an Apple Store pickup. All the fun of the launch, none of the stress with the chance of not getting a device!

Cool, its all done as a little fun for us early adopters
 
Has anybody who hasn't had their status changed from processing been pinged a pending charge in full for the watch? I need to know because my status hasn't changed but a recent (full) pending charge is sitting on my account and I'm still on processing.

What time did the transaction show up? And where are you located?

When I was charged, it took about 20 minutes for my status to change.

Kind of. Was charged, it turned to "preparing," but then reverted back to "processing" several hours later. Charge is still pending.

42 mm SS white sport band. Seems like everybody this happened to ordered the same Watch…

Apple Pay initially screwed up my order when I used it, it's a long story but basically the card I used ended up not being charged at all when the initial batch of watches went out earlier in the day and I needed to input the card information manually on the website — it showed up on my card minutes later. I'm still not sure what happened but for some reason the card I used didn't get any charges at all from Apple, so I have no clue where Apple tried to charge me initially.

No status change despite the pending full charge, but I did this around 10pm last night, so I'm hoping progress will change on it today but I'm not sure.

Same with me. Rep agreed with me that the token might have expired when they went to charge the card. I did it as soon as I could, and was "Preparing for Shipment" an hour later. 38mm Blue Sport btw

I'm glad I wasn't alone in that, not that I'm glad it happened to us but I felt like I was the only one with that issue. Apple Pay has a lot of kinks to iron out.

I wasn't able to get home to fix the payment information until a few hours after I got the email — I hope that isn't too late to not get a launch-day watch.

Yeah seems like an inventory allocation issue. Probably waiting until the next batch from MFG.
 
Just woke up after 11 hours of sleeping and this thread has nearly doubled. Can somebody tell me if anybody in "Preparing for Shipment" has had their Watch show up in the Apple Support Profile or package show up in the "Track by Reference"?

Judging off another thread, not one person has had any movement on the 42mm SS with black sport band. Can this thread also confirm?

Yeah. They need to create a way to make a long term exception in their systems. It's not a huge issue per se, but could definitely cause some headaches...
 
I'm a bit worried that no 42mm SS watch with black sports band have prepped for shipping yet :/
I say we will see some changes for the people who have the 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Sport Band today

I'm still hoping to get my watch on Friday since looks like I still the the first wave 4/24/15 to 5/8/15

I think some should contract apple and see why the 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Sport Band is take the longest to get status changed?

Alas I've finally found people who have encountered problems as I have! I'm so frustrated that I had payment problems, because now I don't know whether or not it just caused a weeks delay in getting my watch that I preordered early...

I also ordered 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Sport Band got a confirmation email at 3:05am (Eastern Time Zone) on the 04/24 - 05/08 group no movement! no charge still processing... :(
 
I ordered a 38mm SS milanese band at 3:08 EST and got the April 24th -May 8th. I used 2 Apple Gift Cards and my MC. I got to the app first at 3:01 PST and saw I couldn't use my gift cards - had the same delivery date so waiting for the website didn't hurt me. My card still hasn't been charged (never was i had 50% of the price covered by the Gift cards). I'm still processing and no charge yet. When I ordered my iPhone 6+ I didn't get any movement until Wednesday and still received my phone at 930 am EST on Friday launch day. My phone had been in Harrisburg, PA UPS center the entire time.

I'm hoping my watch is in the USA already.

CHeers,

Apple Pay needs work. This launch was a good test. Unfortunately for Apple, it failed.
 
I tweeted AppleUS Suppor and they mention this, then the first reply I got back is the first picture, then I replyed back and told them I had the 4/24 to 5/8 so that is the second picture

You are not alone! We will work through this together.

Here's hoping we get to see our statuses change today.
