Same here. I seem to keep running into you on here. Its unfortunate that there didn't seem to be much, if any activity last night at all. Im hoping that there will be today and they don't hold off until Monday or something.
I missed a call a bit ago from Apple's elite team or whatever its called. They were following up on a previous call I made to see if I got my watch. They also emailed me so I emailed them back with an update. They have been extremely courteous and understanding, but can't provide any useful feedback. They DID say however that they have been experiencing several calls like mine where others that ordered after me (same model) have shipped. No rhyme or reason, no explanation, just apologies (which I appreciate).
Again, as Ive said before, I don't care if I get it on 5/8. At this stage I would prefer to know an exact date, but I understand that's not going to happen with this launch. What does chafe my ass is the number of SS Classic Buckles I've seen with time stamps after me that have shipped before mine while I sit with no activity - not even a pre-auth.
I'll repeat. Email time stamp ≠ time you ordered.
Email servers can the slow reciept emails.
Ordering at :01 with a confirm at :15 wouldn't surprise me.
I wonder if right about now, someone at 
is wondering whether it was a mistake to start with so many different order options. If there were only 6 different models/sizes/bands instead of 38, I would think they would have had an easier time shipping everything out for launch day. Just sayin'

anyone whos watch is on DELIVERY, CAN YOU post and tell me if you see on the UPS SITE when it says DELIVERED.
Regardless of this, Each Sku is comprised of a watch and a band, which, at the time of "being manufactured" are separate entities. So if they are short of SG Sport 42 with black bands, but have PLENTY of SG Sport 42 with white bands, and PLENTY of Aluminum Sport SG with black sports bands; before anything else these pieces should be used to fulfill orders for the SG Sport 42 with black bands as they need, in order of order placed. That's how a preorder works.
And I'm not speaking of people who received EMAILS after I did.
Having said that. Good Luck to everyone receiving their watches today. Have fun. I'll be looking forward to when mine arrives.
Yes, I am aware, thank you. I had this discussion with Apple based on feedback from other forum members. I saw multiple people that ordered at say... 3:05, with a confirm email at 3:10, but they said Apple reported it hitting their servers at 6:30 or something to that nature.
Mine hit Apple's servers at 4:21 according to the information I received. I have taken that into consideration based on my previous comments. Several people that did have access to this information, whether they called and asked, chatted with Apple, etc., and posted it, hit their servers after me but received their watch today.
Don't misconstrue my post. I was very specific in stating that I am fine with not receiving my watch today and would even be ok with the 5/8 date which I have no doubt Apple will hit. I was simply stating that based on the information I have and the information others have provided, it was not first come, first serve on every account.
For what we know, people with June deliveries that got bumped up maybe just made it up. Nobody can confirm anything now.
I'm surprised nobody is talking about this;
According to people whom have their watch in their support file with a serial number which gives them the manufacturing date.
The earliest manufacturing date I've seen so far is week 13. Which is early April I guess?
That means these things are literally "hot off the press".
I'm surprised that they didn't start manufacturing until then. It's no wonder a lot of people are still in processing!

wondering if there was an error processing the first wave of orders and somehow ended up getting booked in Apple's system later in the morning
Its not uncommon. I remember when I ordered my 6+ from Verizon, there was an error like this. If you had a company discount applied to your line it was causing your order to not go through or to post later in their system. I had to call Verizon after things died down to discuss and they offered to escalate my order since the error wasn't my fault. Because of that I received my device on launch day. I thought that was great customer service.
No clue. Maybe they were still working out some kinks up until the last minute. It seems like a lot of, if not all of the 38mm space gray units in certain SKUs didn't ship. Perhaps a defect or something.
Yeah, I noticed that last night and made a similar comment. If that's all true, one could infer they didn't start making watches until they were pre-ordered? Which seems insane.
Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Milanese Loop..held at the local UPS Customer Center for me to pick up at 8:16 am. I didn't see any movement until yesterday around 1:30 pm CST, and I ordered approximately 3 minutes after ordering went live. Off to UPS at lunch!
No, because the production of the watch bodies has to be evened out. I'm sure now they are turning their attention to the more orders of them all, but before preorder how could they? Plus, the most ordered ones, (SS w/BSB and SG w/BSB) each have unique components. The band with the SS Stud and the SG watch body AND the SG stud.
Week 13 is the last full week of March. Thought I saw some a couple weeks earlier than that.
