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".

First post here ever, but I am in a similar boat as well.
42mm SS w/ classic black buckle
Order 4/10 with 0316 confirmation
Shipping to D.C.
Processing status and no charge on any card—though the AppleCare+ has been charged to the gift card on the order.

I'll be out of town on Friday, and it'll still be going to my office. I'd at least like to have a little more certainty in the delivery window at this point, but patience is a virtue.
 
Watch Woes

I ordered the 42MM Space Gray Aluminum with black band and got confirmation email at 3:03 am ET. I live in South Florida and I am still stuck in processing. I really want the watch but the worst part of not getting it Friday will be the ridicule from Friends and Family who called me an idiot for waking up in the middle of the night to hand over so much money to Apple. I mean really I had finished my order by 12:02 am PST so how many did they expect to sell that they can't fill my order.

This is a piece of shxt!!!!!
 
But you haven't gotten a tracking number for your Watch, which is what my original post is about.[/QUOTE

And my post was about everyone in Ca should be getting there labels/tracking numbers today prob around 1:00-5:00 pm PT

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
Actually, they are probably shipping by UPS next day air saver, so we could all receive tracking information as late as tomorrow and still have our watch arrive Friday.

I'm in central Florida. Same exact watch. Same exact time. Hopefully today is our day.

This is where I am located as well. Still waiting on movement with my 42mm SS w/ Black classic buckle.

Me too, for same item, in Boston. Ordered 3:01. The second one, same item but with AppleCare, authorized twice now for just the applecare on my card. It too has a 4/24-5/8 date. No PFS on that one.

I won't be concerned until Friday AM; I have seen these things actually deliver before the shipping announcement. At the minimum, it likely will ship tomorrow and get a notification tomorrow night.

Or not.... but I have never seen an Apple product ever go to PFS and never move in a week.

Same watch, but in SoCal. Not sure what it is with that combination and that time but all SG Sport orders with :03 or later seem to be stock in the processing window. I'm in the same boat, and to not see any sign of change is very disheartening. I guess if we don't see any changes by late this afternoon, we'll know that launch day delivery just isn't going to happen.
 
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.

For sure, I too have small wrist, and boney to boot. The link band looked awesome though, really brought class to the watch. I'm not too crazy about the sport band either, but for my day to day, it's the one I will worry least about getting messed up.

Not true. It can go into shipping tomorrow also and still be on time for Friday delivery.
 
Is anyone else getting tired of the “strip-tease” called Apple Watch:

September 9, 2014 “Introduction” – stay tuned (for SIX months)

March 9, 2015 “Re-introduction” – but wait a month for pre-orders

April 10, 2015 “Pre-Orders” – which sell out in six hours

April 24, 2015 “Delivery” – well, not quite – if ordered in first 6 minutes or so “maybe 4/24-5/8″

August 2015 for some (black stainless steel) models

So almost ONE YEAR from first fan hitting the floor to final result…that is insulting…
 
Anybody with estimate delivery (may13-26) was charged and now preparing for shipment?

I preordered 44mm sport space grey. I ordered it a 3h10 am local time (montreal)

I can't wait to reveice it !
 
The intro had to happen before it was leaked. I am guessing they would've liked the intro early this year.

Also, if you ever follow games, sometimes games are announced 3 years or more before they come out... and sometimes the games just never appear.

So I don't think it is insulting.

I agree that the link bracelet has a really good classic look. It's a bit to pricey for me however.

I'm in the same boat. Also in South Florida. Order finished at 3:02am.
I'm the 4/24-5/8 window. But no charge yet, and still just processing.
Frustrating as can be! (But mine's the 42mm SS version w/Milanese band.)
 
38mm stainless with milanese loop ticked to preparing for shipment sometime around 8:30-9:00 today. They charged my card yesterday. I'm in St. Louis, MO.

I remember for one of the iPhone launches I didn't get the shipping notice until after I received the actual delivery. There are just so many getting done at the same time that the tracking information sometimes lags behind the actual delivery.
 
Apple removed the 24th as launch day from their website it seems.

Yes, they did remove the launch date from the site, because Angela Ahrendts (Apple's Retail head) indicated, in an internal memo, that there would be no watch inventory in the stores on the 24th. In reading the articles relating to that memo, I didn't see anything about accessories.
 
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.

You will believe anything, won't you?
 
This would make sense as to why I've had no update because I live right outside Harrisburg

I completely forgot about the warehouse being up there! I live with-in 40 min. It would make sense that those living close would be processed later. Hope that we hear something soon.
