For the people who saw there order go from preparing to ship back to processing yesterday (myself included), any change? I'm still stuck at processing but my cc still shows a charge. Weird.
SS 42 w/ white sport band. Ordered 4/10 w/confirm at 3:05am.

Apparently the Apple Watch Sport comes out 4/24 and not the Apple Watch itself.

Nice work, Angela!

Where did you hear that?

 

[TeamBeales]

UK Thread just lit up. Charging has started.

 

[Lobwedgephil]

How do you mean? Surely we would have been charged then?

Assumption is that they are pre-staged in locations ready to be shipped out quickly.

The real insanity here (to me) is the timing of orders. I have an email confirmation dated 04/10/15 at 2:04 am CDT. Ignoring the minute or two it took for them to send me an email, how many orders could have been made in 240 seconds that I'm in the "-" que (somewhere in the 4/24-5/8 purgatory) and not the 4/24 delivery crowd? Or are there so few watches in inventory that they can't ship for the launch date? Or are they hand making these puppies one at a time - kind of like Timex in the 60's who used the same internal watch mechanism in dozens of external watch designs?





Wait a minute - the "internals" of my (lost in) space gray sport ARE the same as Beyoncé's solid gold link Edition - maybe all is not bad in the universe...

There is no 4/24 delivery crowd. Everyone in the first wave are all in the 4/24-5/8 crowd.

Now, it just depends on your configuration and the availability of those parts in your configuration that you may be in a delivery date after 4/24 but not before 5/8. I for one, picked the two first models shown on the WATCH page. White 38mm and 42mm Sport. And I ordered both within the first 120 seconds.

Considering that Apple was open to the entire world at exactly 12:00AM PT, it was estimated that upwards of 3M orders were placed over the weekend, and many of the models slipped into the 4-6 week and June date ranges within minutes, it's a likely probability that a good brunt of the orders, possibly up to a million, were placed within those precious 240 seconds.

Nope. No change back. Same exact watch and I'm in Connecticut (USA). Been charged since yesterday as well.

Nope. I am thinking this one has not been yet. Probably looking at next week. Shame seeing as I ordered at 8:01. My wife's watch has been charged though

Order time?

How can I tell what time my order went through? My confirmation email came at 2:08 am CDT but I cannot find where it says what time the order actually hit Apple's servers. As of now I have not been charged and it is still processing with delivery estimate of 4-24 - 5-8. 42mm SS Milanese.

it took 30 mins - 1 hour for people in the US For there status to change after being charged!

 

[HighRollers]

I ordered the 42mm SS w/ Classic Buckle. I got charged yesterday and still stuck on Preparing for Shipment. Hopefully that will change for all of us later on today.

 

[mjblake]

I read some where on here that is was taking up to 20 mins to change status after be changed, i hope anyway

Nope. If you look at the google docs status page, you'll see that there are people who got preparing for shipment notices that ordered the watch.

Most people I've seen with that watch configuration (including myself) had it go from "processing" to "preparing for shipment" back to "processing." We also got charged for them, so check to see if you have.

 

[blurredline]

Just talked to a TD Canada rep and they see the Apple charge on their end and it will be approved.

Now the fun wait for my 42MM SG aluminum  watch to go from preparing to ship to Shipping.

Can't wait.

Do you see an actual charge on your account? I'm with TD Canada and nothing yet.

There are plenty of SS Apple Watches in preparing for shipment, mine included.
