Same watch, same status, from Saratoga also...but currently in BTV VT...we're all in hell...Saturday night and here I am...
Apple just asked me through email how my experience was!!!! So I told them 
After getting up to order my watch and completing it at 3:03am eastern time. And it still not shipping as of right now. And apples inability to give their customers actual accurate information about what is going on with their order is frustrating and unacceptable. I know you gave a 2 week window of delivery. But I purchased my watch 2 weeks ago in the middle of the night after telling you in my favorites exactly the one I was going to buy. As far as I'm concerned my order should have been filled without incident or delay. We all have been preparing for this purchase since September (Apple and their customers). I'm not mad as much as telling you how my heart feels. As this is a personal and emotional purchase as you have billed it in your Keynotes. I want to see it coming from a company that actually cares about every individual customer, not just "Things are Great for Apple". And right now that's not who you are. I own A LOT of your products. And I have converted may friends and family to Apple. I am a machinist and understand manufacturing better then most but whatever went wrong with this launch would have better been explained to your waiting customers then the silent treatment. And the email you coldly sent in the middle of the night to waiting customers had no content to help us understand your dilemma of filling orders and therefore no sympathy could be found for such a cold and impersonal mailing. We are not mushrooms. We can handle the truth and we want to appreciate your hard work on such a amazing product. But you aren't giving us anything to work with.
I hope this helps. I will happily talk to anyone. Feel free to get back to me.
PS. Don't forget my 42mm SS BSB.
Regards,

You placed an order on Saturday, and now they are already shipping your device? Am I reading this correct?

Good response. I feel the same way.

surely, this can't be true?!

Who don't get information on apple UPS flights?

You're reading it right. I'm getting this feeling like its way too F'd up and good to be true so the charge is a false positive...
Then again all the UPS flights are in the air right now...

This has to be a bad joke.

Yeah well that does show you were charged, but not when purchased.
Yes it is still processing. That's really what I'm waiting on is the move to Preparing. If it doesn't in a reasonable amount of time then it was just Apple trolling me.

Very well stated
Yes it was June. I ordered it after looking at what people have had shipped, in what timeframes, and when it was ordered.
I'll actually modify my theory too... there are a number of planes en route to Anchorage right now but also a number still waiting to take off to Louisville. I bet it's sitting on one of those planes and when they move closer to take off or have done so it'll move to preparing.
In theory anyway...
I ordered around the 3:05 to :07am (EDT) timeframe and I got the EOD on 4/22 at 11:10pm
Prove it with the apple "thank you for your purchase" email stating when your purchased it
YEsterday I tried the same experiment.
In addition to my 4/10 order, I place an order yesterday for 2 additional SS 42mm models. One with a WSB one with a BSB. The WSB already got charged for applecare...but not the one on 4/10 or the BSB.
Seems that the BSB is in very short supply...signed Frustrated Captain Obvious...
I hope this is consistent, just put in an order for this one, let's see what happens, I have an account that I'm putting in experiment orders in because my classic buckle still hasn't moved.
