For those trying to track using a FedEx reference number ... I have a package coming for which I have the tracking number (not from Apple). I tracked it and got the reference number off the tracking info. I then tried to "track by reference" number. After doing it several times I got nowhere. One time I put in my phone number and also the reference from the other package. That time it showed two shipments with the status bar of "in transit". When I clicked on those I got "Unfortunately we are unable to retrieve your tracking results at this time. Please try again later." FedEx definitely has problems tracking by reference, so don't even waste your time. (UPS, on the other hand, has a great system with My Choice but they don't show any packages coming to my address.)
 
Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Black Sport Band
Ordered: 3:02 AM EST
Email Recd: 3:04 AM EST
Coming to Queens, NYC.
Current status: Processing

Thanks for increasing my anxiety, Apple. :)
 
Ya people who went to "Preparing" today should get "shipped" tomorrow, just like the people who prepared yesterday got shipped today. It's overnight air, and it's not really even shipped the people who "shipped" today have it shipping on the 23rd for delivery on the 24th. So everybody else has tomorrow and half of Thursday, probably, to get a tracking number before they are officially SOL

I went to "Preparing to Ship" and billed yesterday. No tracking info or shipped status today though! (U.S. East Coast)
 
For watches coming to Canada, is it possible that the ones that are prepared for shipment won't be switched over to shipping until Wednesday or Thursday night and still get delivered on Friday?

Been a few years since I had an Apple product shipped to Edmonton and can't remember what the custom or border delays are like.

Very, very likely that any shipment across the border is already pre-cleared for customs so it shouldn't get held up at all. I'm really hoping I see a shipped status tomorrow or else it feels like Monday for me (I'm in a smaller city).
 
So. Who is going to pre order the apple watch2 and go through this all over again?

I think a lot of the agitation and anxiety with this launch is because it is a new product and everyone wants to play with theirs cause they've NEVER had one. With second edition, unless it's your first, the excitement can't be as crazy as this (at least I would think). I was pretty excited with the first iPhone back in 2007, but with each subsequent iPhone, I was excited, but not like the first, since I already one. Just my two cents.

This is fun though.
 
Patience he says, easier said than done!


Was just trying to give you all some positive thinking. I know I'd want some people rooting for me if I was in your shoes. I do hope all that haven't gotten charged do very soon as the waiting would be killing me as well.

Makes sense. Didn't think of it that way.

Thanks man. Just frustrated is all. :)

Not all of us who got preparing yesterday got shipping info today :( I ordered the 38mm sport white band and can't find the UPS tracking information yet.. It's being delivered to NY btw
 
My order status changed yesterday afternoon to preparing for shipment and my card was charged then. Still waiting for a tracking number or to say it was shipped. I'm in CT
 
I wanna believe that tomorrow or Thursday the 4/24 - 5/8 crew or :03 crew get notifications consisting of:

- Preparing for shipment
- Shipped
- a tracking number for 2 day delivery or next day delivery if Thursday

I can believe and I want to believe..

This @ the bolded. My 38 stainless w/the classic buckle has been preparing since yesterday and I came up empty on UPS. Mine's coming to San Francisco.
