Something Is definitely going wrong with apple. I noticed best buy had a few of the new MacBook available to ship immediately. Although the Apple store is back ordered. Same deal as the watch. They launched the MacBook, you can't get it in stores and they can't make them fast enough. The third option above is that they simply under estimated demand; going into these product launches believing they would be able to deliver.
Got a tip for us?

Well he was right, no order has been shipped out yet. And nobody have received tracking info from Apple.
Mine says preparing for shipment. No email and no ups that I can find. No card charges. So weird. Hope something happens tomorrow. Maybe I'll get it Saturday.
That's not true. A bunch of pages back someone posted a screenshot of their ups tracking page and it showed movement on the package. Only 1 scan but a scan.
I cannot wait to see these forums in September-October, when everyone finally has their watch. We'll all have a good laugh together when we realize how NOT big of a deal this actually was.
If we take a step back and actually observe what these 300+ forum pages are all about, we can observe that all of us did not pay any extra money to pre order these devices exclusively, or get them on the day guaranteed. We just set an alarm and got up a little bit earlier than usual to click purchase.
Imagine having to roll out a new product for the first time since the father of the wealthiest company in the world passed away. By the time the next one is released, they'll have it much more solid. I know we all want what we paid for ASAP, because it's without a doubt the most advanced pieces of artistry and affordable, wearable, technology that our modern society has seen to date. If they were shipping out 2,000,000 pre-ordered chocolate bars and they were delayed on them, I would be a bit confused. But we're talking about mass producing, packaging, personalizing, and shipping thousands, if not millions of mini computers.
We should be thankful that there are people out there intelligent and willing enough to create such devices, and provide them to the millions of us who will gladly throw our money at them, instead of being nervous because we could potentially get it a little later than promised. Patience. Patience. Show some respect for this company, they're working their a**es off and have been for 3 years on this revolutionary wearable that will throw android into the dirt.
Peace, Love,

Tracking
Track by reference number
Type your 10 digit phone number
****make certain you change the date to 4/23/15. Do not use the calendar because that date is grayed out. Type the date in****
Same principal for fedex as well. This also worked for the iPhone 6 launch.
i got the email, and i haven't been charged yet. i think this is apple telling us a friday delivery isn't happening.
Are you kidding me? The last 4 pages are full of discussion on this. Did it not even occur to you to look back and read?
10 digit number? As in, add a "1" before it? If so, I tried that and did everything else and I'm still getting "UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Verify your information and try again."
It's called the email of death. Means your watch will not come Friday. Most likely.
First of all, Apple never sent out a tracking info yet. People got it by searching UPS themselves. So the agent is correct by saying that they haven't sent out any shipping info.
And second, anybody can photoshop a picture.
This sucks, checked UPS for a tracking number with my phone number.
One was created on 4/20 and then canceled..
order was for 42mm AW Sport GSB.
I received the "email of death" for my order for a 38mm AWS Space grey. Nothing for the 42mm Green, I'm still hopeful for Friday..

Ah, just checking because it wouldn't work the other way without it, either. I thought it might help, but I dunno. Nothing is coming up this way regardless.
Seems like the only ones this work for are those that have Mt Juliet, TN as the UPS hub.
Since you're in Dallas, you may be coming from a different center (or via FedEx).
oh wow, my watch appears there. With an actual serial number and all. Brilliant!
Most Apple preorder stuff comes via Fedex, but I also tried it on the Fedex site and still not getting anything.
Not too worried, I'm glad that you guys have some relief with this as a verification, though. Hopefully we'll get some status updates soon so I know whether or not to arrange a way to be home to sign for the package on Friday.
Mail (USPS) usually travels in one day so I am holding out hope that Texans will see something tomorrow. Less hope than earlier yesterday but still some hope.
