Received the dreaded email for my 04:24 order for SG 42mm Sport. The outlook for Friday delivery isn't impossible but doesn't look bright. Too bad I wasted time trying to combine my two watch orders using the Apple Store app. The way it went straight to checkout threw my off and was worried multiple orders could cause an issue. At least I should be able to play with my wife's watch if anything LOL

I'm hopeful :cool:
 
Just received an email from Apple at 10pm EST with the invoice for the 42mm SG Sport. My shipping status had changed on Monday. Hope it makes it to my home in Canada on Friday.

Watches are shipping from Elk Grove?
 
I'm extremely dubious about the email hysteria, but for data: I have one watch preparing to ship and one processing. I have zero emails.
 
I've never received any status update email, nor a shipping update. Still says "preparing for shipment" on my account. I wonder if they're just shipping them all overnight on Thursday?
 
Yeah but you don't know what watches they got compared to you. For all you know the June peeps were orders made before you but with a different watch. Stop worrying about others, life will be a lot less stressful that way.

It's not worrying about others. It's about (potentially) being lied to with their (potentially) false claim that orders fulfilled in the sequence they were placed. I don't care care if June people ordered different watches/bands. Inventory/stocking for all of this should have been worked out in advance, and the ETA given a reflection of that based on what was ordered.
 
Sorry, I've been away for a bit, what's this email? I haven't received anything.

Dear XXXXXX,

Your Apple Watch will be delivered between April 24th and May 8th. When your order ships, we'll send you an email with a specific delivery date and tracking information.

To help you get started and learn about the amazing things you can do with Apple Watch, please see our Guided Tour videos.

Apple Watch requires iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, or iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2 or later. Please take a moment to check that your iPhone is up to date.

Thank you for choosing Apple.

Sincerely,

Apple Store
 
- Canada. Might seem like we're getting some kind of preference but am thinking it's to account for longer ship time to get here?
- 42mm SS Milanese
- Order confirmation email came in at 3:08 Eastern on the 10th. Thinking I was one of the last to get an order in through the App before the website floodgates were opened
- No email or notification of any kind received since then
- CC charged and order status changed to preparing to ship yesterday afternoon
- Watch showed up in My Products on Apple Support page today
- Trick of searching on UPS site by reference number did nothing earlier today but tonight is now giving me a tracking number with a "once the shipment arrives at our facility we'll give you an ETA"
- Guarantee I'll look back at this post in two years and wonder why I've followed this so closely, but what the heck it's fun :) Thx to everyone posting for making it easier to stay in the loop

I ordered before you; got the email of death and probably won't get it on Friday. :(
 
Seems like those who got the email ordered 42mm SS BSB. Can you all confirm?
I got the email and that is the watches the email refers to.

You were NOT LIED to. If you get it AFTER the 8th of May, THEN you were.
My gosh people.....how can so many people make the money to afford this watch and still act like they are in kindergarten?
:rolleyes:
 
God damn it. Add insult to injury why don't you apple. I just got the god damn email of death. There goes my Friday delivery hopes.

I don't think anyone has received a shipping e-mail or tracking number from Apple. But many of us have been able to find the tracking number through UPS by searching by the reference number which is the 10 digit phone number associated with the order. Make sure to change the date range to include 4/23.

This of course assumes they're shipping yours via UPS.
 
Does anyone here have their watch listed on their support profile? I have a UPS Friday delivery but no serial number yet.

no, have an order preparing for shipment with ups tracking info but its not showing in my profile support yet

The ETA was and always has been 4/24-5/8, I guarantee you'll have your watch on or before 5/8.

Could you give a little insight to how we'd find out all of this information and where to put it? I'm curious now.

Not lied to about delivery date.
Lied to about orders fulfilled in the order in which they were received. which all signs point to false.
 
email received tonight 8pm PST "We're working on your order."

I just got an email saying "we're working on your order"... WTH DOES THAT MEAN??
