You all know what's cool for us in the U.S. - in a few hours, we'll start seeing pictures from those in Australia receiving their first Watches. How cool is that!
I do hope you're a girl/woman cause that's the only way I could accept your comment lol
Gosh, I'm just an hour away from Durham and ordered the same watch with just one minute ahead of you for confirmation. Mine is billed and on the way to Pa and due here tomorrow. It is odd how varied our experiences are ... with the same watch and similar order date/time.
Dear Tim Cook,
I like a nice steak dinner before being FU***D.
Email of death @ 11:05 p.m yesterday
Ordered at 3:03 a.m on 4/10
SpaceGray 38mm
4/24-5/8 shipping
STUCK ON PROCESSING! No credit card charge.
This is an absolute failure, don't promote something you can't promise. I know everyones saying be patient but it's horse sh** !! People who had June ship dates are being bumped and shipped tom. I don't care what model is behind or back ordered.. you've had months to prepare for launch day and you failed. Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave right now.. Talk about not being prepared.. This will make me think twice before i pre order again. Apple is a billion dollar industry this is unacceptable..

You are my apple watch twin, also Raleigh. Xx:03 order confirmation
Got charged at 7 yesterday but has wrong CC in there, I was finally charged at 11PM yesterday and nothing more since then.
No. It's my intention that my frustration gets passed up the chain so apple can learn from their mistake.
And I never said I was rude to her. By going off at her I meant I expressed my deep disappointment at this whole muck up.
I'm not patient OR a man, but I also have a sense of perspective.
Love it!
I JUST moved to shipping from preparing for shipment in the last 20 minutes.
The day's events, in order:
Found UPS tracking number using track by reference.
Then the watch showed up in my support profile around the same time that the status changed and I received the email from apple.
I found the watch in the support profile first, but I didn't check my email until afterwards so the order is fuzzy.
You do. Just enter in your phone number that you used associated with your order in the "Shipment Reference" field under "Track By Reference" on this site: http://www.ups.com/tracking/tracking.html
It'll still work with the phone number as reference, try putting both dates as today's date.
What you can't do with a commercial address is use the MyChoice calendar view (from what I can tell) or receive notifications from UPS about *new* labels made for the commercial address.
Woke up to a shipping notification email from Apple! Watch will be here tomorrow! Via UPS, so I was wrong about FedEx. Also means it will likely be here when I'm in class still
It says signature required but no link to print a pre-auth page.
Call apple they can email you the form. I did that this morning and also for iPhone 5S launch
My question for apple is how they could have such a shortage of 38/42mm SG Sport watches when they have known for two weeks that there was a huge demand for them. They could have easily moved resources to increase production of these units in time to ship and at least cover orders for the first 10 minutes. Also, if there was such a huge response in the first 9 countries, what do they expect will happen when they release it to more countries. All I know is that either someone really screwed up at apple, or it's the manufacturers fault and havnt had enough SG watches pass the test and resulted in a large failure rate. Just my thoughts about this.

Hmmmm, these are very strange cases we are dealing with indeed, gentlemen.
I have heard the stories of people receiving updates late at night on the Thursday before delivery day, so I'm staying optimistic. But if I don't get it tomorrow...I'll live.
Not going to lie it is rather annoying the way this launch was handled. I'm a 42ssbsb and got in right at 12:01 and still stuck on processing. Quite honestly this will be the first Apple launch I don't get my product on launch day, which kinda is a weird feeling. Certainly not pissed but not thrilled either. Being a huge backer of all things Apple I guess I valued there company and image so much because these instances never happened to me with this company before. I'm not whining just kinda have a feeling of more of a number than a customer. Which yes I know I am a tick mark on balance sheet. Apple doesn't care whether I stay or I go. I get it. But this launch has kinda deteriorated my opinion and ultimate defense of all things Apple. As I alluded to before life goes on, the watch will eventually come. Just wish they would have handled this differently. There seems to have been no method to any of this madness.
So much negativity on here!
I received the death email. Order confirmation by 12:03PST. Yet I have confidence that I will receive my watch tomorrow. I'm positive. Then all of you naysayers can eat your watch.
Tim Cook is a master of operations, supply chains, shipping etc. It's going to happen.
You're setting yourself up for a big disappointment tomorrow
"I went off at her and hung up. F Apple!" implies that you were rude to her. In fact, I'm pretty confident that was the case.
Regardless, you're disappointed that you haven't yet received your watch BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE! There's nothing to be frustrated about. There is no muck up. This is EXACTLY the same process as every iPhone pre-order.
You're all losing your minds and the deadline hasn't even been reached yet! Sheesh. "Going off on" low level supervisors or chat representatives or anybody else at Apple isn't going to make your watch be made any sooner and it's not going to help anybody's cause. I don't even know what the damn cause is here.
If you were promised a watch to be delivered between 4/24 and 5/8 and you do not receive your watch by 5/8, then I would expect you to relay some frustration. Until then, simmer down.
