Seems to take a while, i did a password reset which seemed to come in before the welcome email. This and the google drive spreadsheet is useful.
Just did this, I am having it delivered to a commercial address, and I have a tracking number.
42mm Black Sport ordered at 3:01 order status still at preparing for shipping
I'm in Denver and have tried the UPS site with no success. Most of my packages have come from FedEx in the past though.
Australia's probably the ticket then. I'm in the US, Eastern. So if you're seeing yours then, it'll probably happen later today for the rest of us
Now I'm reading that boutique stores will have in store stock on Friday.

So this is what we know:
Millions of apple supporters stayed up late to order the watch.
Some are getting it friday and some aren't with the 4/24-5/8 date.
Some people who had delivery dates in June will get their on Friday
High end botiques will have them Friday
Apple stores will not
Celebs that don't even know what the Apple watch is have already gotten theirs
Yup ... They sure pooched this one :-/

This is very speculative. It's still pre-launch. What if all the 4/24-5/8 orders were filled on the 24th as well as some mid to late May and June orders. I'd say that would be one of the most successful launches ever. We still have NO IDEA what will happen on Friday. If you've gotten anything from this thread it should be that while some are fairly certain to get theirs on the 24th (UPS My Choice), other than that we've got nothing but theories, wild speculation, and conflicting stories from so called "reps" that know about as much (if not less) than we do.
It didn't work for me neither. Granted I just got "Preparing for shipment" yesterday at 6:17PM EST.
I think we'll be okay. Most of my Apple products shipped via pre-order come through Fedex as well. As long as we have preparing for shipment and no EOD, then, well, I think we have a good chance for a Friday delivery.
Seems like international orders are showing up in the support profile, hopefully watches in the US start to show up once they're scanned individually into the shipping carrier networks and the S/N is assigned to an individual user. I have a feeling my UPS Tracking status of "Order Processed: Ready for UPS" means it's sitting on a pallet right now with hundreds of other watches.

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,
Very well said.
Looking back on the iPhone 6/Plus launch, the exact same thing occurred to me. I was mad that I was receiving it only ONE WEEK later than the launch date. Now that I have it 7 months later, I have no idea why I was so strung up on getting it on launch. It's hard to think about it now, but down the road, like you said, it won't matter and we'll all have a good laugh.
Why? My iPhone 6 Plus never showed up in my support profile... neither did my 5S, or my 4 or my 3GS.
Southern California, Ventura County, just west of Los Angeles (yes west, look at a map).
Me too. My order confirmation came at 12:03 and I get EOD. And his watch is PFS with a 12:10 email?
My watch just showed up in my profile. It was charged and moved to preparing for shipping on Monday. I am in Chicago. 42 SS with Milanese Loop
I'm not trying to suggest that everyone who's complaining about it is wrong for doing so, I'm just saying that within this crazy forum if you take a step back and actually realize what everyone is worrying about, you can see how small of an issue this actually is.
I personally know more people who don't even want an Apple Watch than people who are worried about it getting shipped later. But hey we'll just have to wait it out together! Life happens!
Australia. There's a guy a few posts up though that claims to be from California
