You should ask the seller to show their order status. There is a possibility they haven't received the watch from apple yet. Good luck.
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,
It would be interesting if MacRomors were to investigate the apparent BSB shortage to get a comment from Apple.

!!! Friggggin sundayz!Well I took a break from watching the 'refreshing' of the order status page.....guess what happened while I was gone?!?!?!
NOTHING!!!!!
NOTHING!!!!!
The problem with this seller is that it's his 1st item ever on eBay.Im a little worried I might not get it.He says he got it and it would ship today.
And the pink sport watches....not a single one was shipped out for launch yet that's what was advertised on their site on 4/10 like every other watch/band combo. It's beyond frustrating that they haven't had any communication with any of us -_-
Yeah that's sketchy. I wouldn't trust such a big purchase to a brand new seller but that's just me. Hope it all works out smooth for you in the end. Worst case, file a claim and eBay will have your back as the buyer.
He doesn't respond well to personal messages.He didn't respond to a message asking if the package could be redirected to me instead of being delivered at his house.Im wondering if it's all a joke and maybe he Dosent even have one.Could that be?

Disappointed more than angry. As others have mentioned above, long time apple supporter, own the entire ecosystem, have converted friends and family to same, have not yet missed a launch day until now.
From all perspectives and in the deafening absence of any proactive communication from Apple, I can only surmise Apple had a logistical failure of epic proportions.... Their worst ever perhaps. It is at times like this where I wish the consumers had more effective ways of communicating to corporate ears our disappointment and frustration. It sort of feels like a betrayal.
How the **** to do you run out of perhaps THE #1 configuration in less than 3 minutes?
There was no urgent reason to launch 4/24 or take orders 4/10.... It could have been 6/10 for all I care. But don't hype a product, tout a pre-sale and essentially have ZERO inventory. We all knew it was going to sell quick, but if you're selling out in 3 minutes that means you had probably 1/20th the inventory you actually needed to even consider opening the store for sales.

You guys realize that they have those flights all the time- it's their regular flights and carry all kinds of freight- just just Apple products.

Yes i am waiting to see what happens around 1230-130AM it really shocked me last night. I truly hope this happens to all of yours tonight. But like i keep saying your orders have to change soon.... Its not like they have an option not to
the only other thing i did was reorder a white sport using the same payment info then canceled it when my other one went to preparing. Im sure it was coincidence but my original order went to preparing about 5 hours after i placed the new order. Just trying to think of everything else i did b4 it just changed that and raided apple chat lmao.
I can't believe my watch isn't here! I have the 42mm as bsb and it says 4/24-5/8 and NOTHING as of yet!!! I'm so disappointed by apple ####

Totally agree with you now imagine how it feels to know pretty much for a fact that not a single pink sport exists. Literally everyone on this forum has been stuck processing....we have all checked Instagram and Twitter and found NOTHING on the pink. But found every other sport watch on there. I am so disappointed. I ordered at 3:03am EST and my fiancé also ordered and already got his white sport. It's so frustrating that we couldn't enjoy this together at all. I can't for the life of me understand why Apple had the 4/24-5/8 delivery in the first place for this configuration if they hadn't even made them yet!?!? # i (as well as most everyone else in the pink forum) have ordered several watches now just waiting to see which one comes first because we didn't care about getting pink right away and would have gladly taken a white or a blue. Especially since we could have just ordered an extra band in pink. I just have no words to describe my anger towards this whole situation. But anyways I feel for all of you who are still left in the dark :/ this isn't the Apple I've grown to love.

Well they use a lot of 'just in time' manufacturing. Everyone who got a watch who has check their serial is seeing manufacturing dates in mid to late April. It's not like they stock piled tons of configurations before hand.
It seems obvious that the black sports band flouroelastomer is being diverted to the SG sport models due to overwhelming popularity. At least in the limited sample size seen in these forums.
That sucks.
They all look nice. Its a beautiful piece of artwork that will be immediately strapped to my wrist. Im assuming it has decent battery life when it arrives like iphnes?
Typical Company... big talk, little walk
When I clicked the "purchase" button on 4/10 at 12:03:58 a company the size of Apple knew exactly what it's immediate stock was. Giving a date range is their prerogative but based upon all of these threads it was obvious that 4/24 & 4/27 were not even remotely possible in the 4/24-5/8 range. Even if 10,000 people cancelled their orders right now and never bought another Apple product it would not make a difference. Apple is a technology company, they know what their supplier output is daily. They have the capability of updating shipping statuses and dates daily but choose not to because they think if they give a big range and then deliver a couple of days early then the customer will be "overjoyed." Maybe some will, I will not.
