One charger for work I would guess? Also, maybe a spare charger for living room / kitchen etc
I am sticking one 1m with double sided tape to my car so I can top off when I need to drive downtown. However, I'm (stupidly, admittedly) going to be relying on accessories in stock at the store on the 24th when I go in to put Apple Care on my watch.
I guess alternatively I could permanently stick Velcro to my primary one... I just like the idea of being able to just snap my watch onto my dash to charge it when it's running low.
There is a plane coming from Alaska, where a majority of apple products ship from-(http://www.zdnet.com/article/why-your-ipad-comes-via-anchorage/)- that lands in a few minutes. I bet we will see some movement in the coming 1-3 hours once the plane is unloaded.

Just in the last 5 minutes, I have noticed Apple have charged my debit card $1 again. The $1 was originally on my card not long after I had pre-ordered, but it disappeared yesterday. Some movement maybe ...

42mm SS Milanese Loop
I'm a US customer who slammed in my 3 separate orders on my iPad the moment the store app came online. 42mm SS w/black sport band was first, followed by the two 38mm sport models. Looks like I should have gone with a different band color. I am starting to expect that my wife and daughter will will be flaunting theirs this Friday while I sit a sad broken man.

38mm SS Milanese Loop
I ordered 38mm SS Milanese Loop on 4/10 using 2 gift cards and credit card from the website got a confirmation at 3:11 am with the delivery dates of 4/24-5/8. I'm hoping to get it on launch day but i haven't seen any movements on apple's website nor my credit card being charge. Is anyone else in this situation like me? I'm hoping to see some movement today.

on the order spreadsheet some has changed mine to shipped and it has not been shipped yet it is still in processing.
Someone should create a thread for the spreadsheet. That way we can submit information and updates can be made....officially.

I think you'll be fine. I'm a optimistic person.... Let's stay positive!
Ohio orderer here - ordered a 38MM Sport (Blue) for wife, conf email came in at 3:03 AM (EST) and 42MM SG for me, conf email for that came in at 3:04 AM (EST). Hers is preparing for shipment as of yesterday and mine is still processing. Both are in the 4/24-5/8 range. Have a feeling she'll get hers first, lol. Seems like a lot of the space gray are still in processing land, but maybe because Apple anticipated that would be the most popular and thus system taking longer to get through shipments?
Well I'm in Canada and we have basically half the population of the UK. My watch went to preparing to ship yesterday
I'm not an expert on UPS but why would they only start showing updates once in KY? Wouldn't tracking originate in China or AK? The parcels have to be scanned at each point and need to clear customs. Or do they come bulk packed and broken down in KY?
Is the earliest we can receive the watch the 24th or is it possible we could receive it on the 23rd? I'm just trying to figure out if I need to make sure someone is at the house at all times.
42mm Sport White ordered at 3:03AM.

Yeah, seems like if you ordered more then one watch then they haven't charge them them all if you ordered one more in demand where as if that was the only watch ordered you may have already been charged.
While there were a few instances in the past of pre-orders arriving before the "launch day", it was just that - a few instances. And was awhile ago so I'm sure Apple had a stern talk with the carriers after that.
SO with that being said, I would say the chances of your watch arriving before the 24th are incredibly slim to none.
You'll know when we get tracking numbers. If it is already at your local carrier by Thursday morning it will either say out for delivery, or exception held (meaning they are holding it til Friday to deliver)
If you are in the first wave of orders you *should* see a change later today or tomorrow.
This is based on past experiences only.
I used 6 gift cards totaling $350 (asked for gift cards when asked what i wanted during the Holidays) plus a credit card to cover the remaining tax. It was a 38 sport blue which is now preparing for shipment. So proof right there that using a gift card / credit card combo is not causing a delay. More likely the watch / band combo, sorry!
