I just ordered (like 1 hour ago) a 42 mm Apple Watch Sport (Silver with White Sport Band). I am betting good money it arrives faster than the 42 mm Apple Watch with Classic Buckle that I ordered just *minutes* after pre-oders began... There is literally no order to how Apple is fulfilling the orders.

You could order literally anything else in the world to make this comparison and it would have the same value-none. You're comparing delivery time frame for two completely different products.

I just ordered a pound of bacon on Amazon and it's going to arrive before my watch.
 
I am having the same issue. The app is also not showing my credit cards, only my checking and savings. Maybe a bunch of us are being charged for our watches! we can only hope

Lol, my concern is more if Chase's servers are down when Apple tries to run purchases. I like your theory better though!
 
Guys/gals - you do have to compare apples to apples here. Ordering a 42mm anything on launch day and then ordering a 38mm variant yesterday that is now shipping is apples to oranges. Even ordering a SS with classic buckle and then another SS with a different band is not apples to apples. These come pre-packaged with the bands. Some bands may just have not been as popular or are in much higher demand.

I'm just as disheartened as anyone else because Ive been sitting in processing and ordered very early, but you have to make like for like comparisons.
 
I am a bit late to this party. I hadn't even looked at the forums, as my 38 MM Black Classic was ordered on the 12th, and I was told delivery of 5/14-5/28. Imagine my shock to get a shipping notice yesterday! I hadn't even dreamed of release day delivery. It says out for delivery now, now to wait and see if it actually shows up.
 
With USAA i just had a pending charge for 0.00 show up with no company name of who made the charge. Very weird, anyone else have anything similar?

I used Apple Pay linked to my PNC account, and I've been checking my account online religiously to ano avail. Still stuck in processing with no hint of a pending charge.

I did just get off the phone with Apple's sales support, and the representative I informed me that Apple already ran a pre-authorization of $1 through my PNC account to confirm that it was indeed active. I guess it the charge went through and then fell off quickly enough to not show up online?

Anyone had any issues with Chase's site today? I keep trying to check the account there to see if there's been any activity since sometimes activity shows up there before Apple's site updates, but it keeps showing everything as Not Available. Probably everyone doing the same thing, lol. Ordered at 3:03, but conf came in at 3:04, so here's hoping there'll be movement soon. Space Gray Sport with Black Band 42mm.
My Chase CC get charged on Monday 4/20 and dropped off on Wednesday. I'm wearing my watch right now.
 
42mm SG BSB 03:03:54 conf
Toledo, Ohio
Card charged last night (paid with apple pay-MasterCard declined payment yesterday so had to call and change to the actual card number as opposed to my apple pay ID)
Preparing for shipment this morning
Just got shipment notification about 10 minutes ago but it says it may not be delivered till the 27th. Is there any chance it could still be tomorrow? I got my tracking number and UPS my choice says Monday delivery with next day air saver. Wouldn't that mean tomorrow? (Saturday)

The outside of the white box they come in says which watch and band combo on it too.
 
Not sure if this means anything, but the £1 apple had taken off my card has just been refunded... I got order confirmation 8.04 on 10/4 in UK
 
Any people in the DMV show movements at night and early this morning? I am still stuck in processing. It seems like certain areas also got hosed. Not sure what that's all about. SMH

I'm in the DMV and I'm still stuck in processing limbo!!
 
Waiting for the UPS truck to show up.. unfortunately my apartment doesn't view the street and I have to rely on them buzzing.. half the time they slap a 'you weren't home' sticker on the front window and don't even bother.

You better not do that today UPS.. I will hunt you down~
