Got a tip for us?

Okay.... Maybe it's just one watch..........woops....
That's pretty heavy for a watch though.
Yeah same here I just woke up here in Az, 8am. I really want to get the Milanese band. But Im debating on whether or not to order one online...
I'm in Upstate too. My 38 sport WSB went to preparing for shipment monday, but hasn't moved since. I think we're going to fine! ... right?
unless the casing/box is better quality than we all thought it would be for the sports version.
This is where I am located as well. Still waiting on movement with my 42mm SS w/ Black classic buckle.
well you have to include the retail box and accompanying pieces, whatever contraption apple has come up with to secure the watch in the box, and the cardboard box itself its shipping in.
You realize they have nothing to do with Apple right? It says in their Twitter bio, wouldn't trust them. It's just guesses like we have
I would definitely go try one on in the store first. I was all for getting one as my "Going out" band, until I got to the store and had them put it on my exact watch (42mm SS), I did not like it at all, and my wife didn't like it on me. I fell in love with the link band, and that will be my next purchase.
Same area my friend... here's my status:
42mm SS w/Classic Buckle
Ordered 4/10 @ 0302 AM EDT
Shipping to Northern VA (Washington D.C. suburb)
Charged on Monday, Status changed to "Preparing for Shipment" Monday evening. No change since.
FYI... My extra charging cable is being delivered by a regional courier called "Laser Ship"... never had that before. Maybe Apple is utilizing additional carriers this time around for the "last mile".
It could be a volume weight like huge boxes from Amazon with a lot of air inside.
This would make sense as to why I've had no update because I live right outside Harrisburg
My 42mm SS Classic Buckle got the confirmation 2:05am CST. Card was charged Monday afternoon and the order has shifted to preparing for shipment. I was able to get my tracking number through UPS, it says it'll be shipped on 23rd from Mount Juliet Tennessee. I have another order for the same model, confirmation at 2:09am, charged and preparing for shipment, no tracking information yet.

I keep feeling normal and then I get hooked reading this thread. It's exciting to think our new watches could be here Friday, but it's hard to know what to believe given the huge amount of speculation being passed around as fact. Either way, I'm hopeful to see a significant bump in movement today as well.
Interesting, I'll go try one on then. There's so much hype about the Milanese loop, my gf says it'll look bad on me, since I have small wrists, smaller wrists than her.
I got one watch & mine says 2 pounds so I think it's just one of your watches sorry
I think someone shared this map earlier, but for those of us located in the "yellow" states, we could receive tracking information as late as tomorrow and still have our watch arrive Friday!

Ah! I tried posting it in the thread but couldn't figure it out. Five tries later.. just use the link lol
Did anyone's status got changed from Preparing for Shipment to Shipped?
Mine has been Preparing for Shipment for quite a while(38MM Milanese Loop)

What!!?? What a cluster! The simpliest of things and they will have none in stock. Is Angela this incompentent? Its worse than having no iPhone cases available at launch. The watch was annouced 9 months before and the iPhone is usually a month.
Man, Apple really screwed this up. After market bands it is for me then.
I thought there has been more movement recently. I'd still wait until tomorrow to start throwing away hope. 3:12 is pretty late though. You have a 4/24 - 5/8 delivery date?
How can you say that there will be no bands in the stores on launch day for sure?
Ups just dropped this off... In case anyone is curious, I'm in PA AND it came from the distribution center at 100 quality circle, suite 190 Harrisburg PA It shipped yesterday and delivered early. So I'm guessing all the PA/OH/NY/VA people wont ship until tomorrow.
