Oh man, I can't resist. I'm pretty sure Jesus has more important things to do than make sure you get your Apple watch.
Got a tip for us?

This same thing happened to me when I ordered it at 3:01 EST. I literally used Apple pay so fast I didn't catch it until I got the confirmation email and freaked out. Turns out it happened to quite a few other people with Apple pay; it automatically brought an address from your contact card (your work address) and stupidly put that as your billing. I called the morning phone support opened and had them quickly change it, but despite even that the order still went through probably because I've used that card with Apple/Apply pay many times and it probably "trusted" it somehow. You may be able to change it today without repercussion.
42ss BSB
Los Angeles, ca
Still in processing stage and no charge.
Jand I hope you get charged today brotha!!!
I've also heard a lot of people with May/June delivery estimates that have been charged and moved to preparing to Dispatch. I guess Apple has plenty of Sport models. I don't understand why they are having problems with the SG Models and Black SB.
Not everyone has been able to do it... But when you go to UPS's site and go to tracking. Track by reference number. Your reference number is your phone number associated with the order. And make sure you change the date range (by typing) to 4/21 - 4/23. Then of course put in your country and corresponding zip or regional code...
Lots of luck!
I'm still waiting for the "shipped" status for a 38 Sport White and 42 Sport White. Both are still in "preparing".
I keep checking for a tracking number but 'nothing'.
My SS w/Classic Band has been "Preparing to Ship" since Monday and I finally had luck using the UPS "Reference Number" method to find it.
It is, in fact, already stateside, in a box, labelled and ready to be picked up by UPS.
I got a tracking number from the UPS site, plugged it into Delivery app.
Label is marked for a 4/23 pickup, 4/24 delivery.
Photo attached below for the inevitable "Pic or it didn't happen" post.
I know this has been covered in other threads but they way I got to it (because I couldn't until I set the date correctly):
"Track By Reference" on UPS.com
Put in the phone number you used with the billing address (not the notification number, if you set one)
Date range: 04/23/15 and 04/24/15
Your shipping zip
That was it. After trying FedEx and UPS over 2 days, finally got it after moving the date range.

42mm SS Black classic buckle here - Ohio. Still no movement on the card or from processing. Ordered around 3:16AM est.
It's still this way for a lot of us. I was in the 1st handful that got charged on Monday at 5:03 and still nothing by reference or My Choice. Still not worried though. This is like when you have a cold and look up your symptoms on WebMD and convince yourself you have Lupus.
Just for kicks, what format did you put your phone # in? Any dashes, or just the digits?
I feel the same dude, but think about this: if we didn't get up at 3 AM you really wouldn't have a reason to keep checking status (as we would be in the June group).
It's a long line to wait but it will be over soon.
sorry for the confusion, i meant Preparing to Ship.
thread about orders being moved forward is this:

there was some mention of people being told 4-6 weeks and got a preparing to ship notification today, i know one guy is from sydney who is in that boat.
Hey guys, let me just give you a heads up. I been lurking on these forums for quite a bit and I LOVE it. I did notice a trend though. I honestly think that majority of us will get this watch on Friday. Some people who got charged and got Preparing for Shipping and I know some people who got the UPS notification. Regardless of your status. The most important thing on that screen should be Preparing for Shipping. I know majority of the people from the NorthEast didn't get a UPS tracking yet. Just be patient. There's a whole system to this and it's all slowly making sense.
Too funny! And totally true. I keep telling myself that I live just a few hours up the interstate from Louisville, so could see last-minute activity (no that rash isn't serious), but then also talking myself into believing that I may not get it until 5/8 (I have the plague).
I am also in Ohio. For my iPhone 6 I saw nothing until Thursday and received it Friday. They shipped overnight from PA which is why you most likely see no activity yet except processing. I see the same and ordered at 12:02am.

How about some insight and words of wisdom to those of us who haven't had their card charged and are still processing.
Help us HighRollers, you're our only hope.
You know the saying, "a watched pot never boils?" Well, "a watched WATCH never ships."
Mine's coming as early as Friday or whatever, but I just can't stick around here anymore, as this month has been the "slowest" experience I've ever had to endure.
I just wonder if Apple is logging all the times I'm logging into the site or the app and checking the order status. I'm sure that's how they figured out that nobody uses the stupid tiled landscape album mode on the Music app on the iPhone and are finally getting rid of it in iOS 8.4.

Ohio here as well. Just a few hours up the interstate from Louisville and and west of PA. If I remember correctly, I was in the same boat when my iPad shipped. I think I got a very late status change, but still got it on launch day. So there is a glimmer of hope.
No luck on UPS Track by Reference. Used phone number and end of date range 4/24.
Worried that means my watch isn't even stateside.
3:01a EDT
38mm Blue Sport
Any other blue watches got UPS tracking numbers?
