I have seen people who ordered 5-10 hours after pre orders going live and are receiving them today. I think you were just unlucky given the band you wanted.
Take this for what it is worth. I just got off the phone with Apple customer service. For anyone living in the DMV the Harrisburg, PA hub is only a few hours away from all the distribution centers in the area. Some of the orders in the DMV might not process until later on tonight. They are really grinding down to the last minute to get all of these orders processed but didn't want to guarantee anything hence the 04/24-05/08 window. He did say that the closer you are to a hub the later your processing would occur because Apple has had issues with early delivery before. I have seen no movement on my 42mm space gray and really don't expect it until the middle of next week but maybe Apple will surprise me
What would it mean if mine prepared to ship?
Is that a good sign?

Is yours processing? What status?
Yes you should be golden with your order. I was referring to the ones who have no movement at all on their orders.
Yep this what I am still seeing. I didn't get the email that my order is still being worked on NOR did I receive a shipping notification email. So I really don't know what to think.
My watch was ordered at 3:08 am EST time. My card was charged Tuesday the 21st around 4:50 pm EST. The card was still in a hold and my status preparing to ship (that changed around 5:30 pm EST Tuesday) until this morning when I was wakened by the Apple Store notification. The Apple Store said delivery by 27th but when UPS finally updated their site around 6:30 this morning it said tomorrow for delivery. I live in Blackstone, VA about 45 minutes south of Richmond.
It's also shipping from TN
I got a message through the Apple Store app last night that my watch had shipped and would deliver by the 24th. UPS might have other ideas though. I finally have a tracking number, but still no delivery date. It looks like it was sitting in Harrisburg, PA at 1:50am but as of 3:32 this morning the UPS status is "Order Processed: Ready for UPS". I wish I knew what that meant exactly. lol
The app told me it was for Friday delivery. Ups doesn't any movement yet.

Judging by your signature it looks like you're quite the apple fan and I doubt you'll cancel your order. It'll eat you away seeing others with it on, but hell at least yours is on the way. Your alternative is to wait until like June. Be patient man you must have pre-ordered a limited quantity combo I suppose. Stuff happens just be happy you're not pushed back until June like some of our brethren. *Pats on Johnny-Don back*
how do you log in to ups?
Exactly! I would rather have them be honest instead of giving me their blanket statement they are trained to give everyone!
It might not be there until later in the day. Just warning you might want to call and ask when they think it will arrive before you drive there and are disappointed.
The sad thing is you are right. Steve Jobs never would have let this happen. Instead... He would have POSTPONED this launch since he would have anticipated the supple demand.. And NOONE would have gotten their watch. You still have the chance to get it in the next week. Before people who can't get it u too June . Or July.
Steve Jobs could have made it to where.. NOPE, SoRRY, there just isn't enough.. So let's postpone it until everyone can have one.. Say September.
That's what would've happened.
I know it sucks that some of us won't get it tomorrow the 24th. But I would much rather havei mne in the next two weeks instead of wait five more months.. I'm still glad I got up in the middle of the night to order. It's not like we waited in a line at a store to be told.. Oh, no, you can't have yours for two more weeks.
Jobs probably also wouldn't of liked the line of asians at the NYC flagship store. This process mitigated that risk. Nobody really knows what jobs would of done for all we know he may have been on board with this decision.
Thanks for the heads up but the package will be there later today. I did this for my iPhone 6 Plus and picked it up first thing in the morning. Plus it's coming from Harrisburg, PA which is only 5 hrs away.
