42mm SG black band 12:03:44 confirmation.
 
Was your order already "Preparing to Ship" or "Processing" before you got the notification..?



So 6pm is the deadline for next day..? And would that be CST or EST?

My order was preparing to ship and charged as of Monday 5pm I got my conf email from ordering at 3:02 est and I ordered a 42 sg bsb

Wow. I'm in the exact same scenario. My seconds were 34 though. Still waiting for it to ship though.
 
Thats my point and I think its BS! I would have preferred to go and camp out in front of a store vs. ordering online and basically playing online Russian roulette
I actually prefer this online only preorder. Some of us can't spend the night outside the store. We have jobs and real lives. I do however, don't mind getting up at 2am CT in order to preorder an item.
 
Watch 42mm purchased roughly 5:45am. I live in NJ. Silly me, I thought there wouldn't be as much interest in a watch so I opted to "sleep in". I have a May 13-27 ship date. I know it's a crapshoot (done a few preorders before) but anyone have any thoughts on when I could expect mine?

When it comes, it comes I guess :)
 
I can almost guarantee some people will not receive shipping updates until later on tonight or possibly early morning. Like someone just said the closer you are to a hub and the less distance it has to travel will be the last to be updated.

That was me who said that and it's true. I've ordered things late at night from Amazon with two day delivery, and I've received them less than 12 hours later. (Ordered at 11:30pm and arrived next day at 10:30 am on first trucks to my area). I'm sure a lot of us will get a huge surprise either later today (4-7pm eastern time) or sometime way late into the night/into the morning.
 
Woke up to an email from apple and ups Mychoice data showing delivery between 0930 and 1330 tomorrow, and my watch in my support profile. That's better than Folgers in my cup!

Confirm Dates

For those that are concerned that others are receiving orders with later confirm dates than theirs, I strongly suggest you call Apple and ask what your "actual" confirmed order time is on the Apple servers. Though we received confirmed emails with times, this may not be the actual time that Apple is seeing. I ordered my watch at 3:04 EST and Apple has my confirmation as 4:00 EST.

You forget to set your clock ahead?
 
Guys I ordered at :02 and in NJ and I got the SG 38mm. My deliver time is 4/24-5/8. I haven't had any activity at all besides the first confirmation email. no EOD, CC charge. I am very confuse anyone else in the same boat? If so tell where you are.

I hope you're right! But for the iPhone 6 release on Friday 9/19, I had a 4am email on Thursday 9/18 notifying me that my phone had shipped. No such email this morning.

I'm in Columbus, OH (very short drive from Louisville) so I'm not giving up hope yet, but it's not looking good.

42 SS BSB :06

WHOAAA....!! I have a job and a real life.. BUT I have something called PTO...I work EVERYDAY and never take a day off , unless its a chosen day like this would have been.... Just because some can camp out and you can't does not mean they dont have lives.....
 
3:04 am EST confirmation in NYC for a 42mm SG BSB

still processing and I got the pity email last night.

this blows.
 
I have my shipping email, status and UPS link, but UPS link still just shows only a label has been created....


Anyone still stuck here ?

Dusty, I completely agree with you. This is and has been weeks of BS! To top things off, I am learning that they are offering the watches in stores for walk in purchase.
