Placed order 2-3 minutes after they store opened, conformation at 2:04 central time (12:04 PST) 42mm SS BSB still processing
 
I think thats the case for everyone. Apple doesn't seem to be using the time you clicked "order" or the confirmation email time (which can vary based on who your host is). Looks like they went off of the time your payment was authorized with the bank. That has added to the "he ordered after me and got it on launch day" angst.

I don't agree that the time is based on bank authorization. I've had no pending transactions or $1.00 holds since this whole thing started on the 10th. Some have even received watches :)eek:) without a charge on their CC!

The Apple DC's must be working off customer lists based on watch model and order entry time, then when watches show up at the DC's they run the charges against the attached CC and when authorized by the bank, they release the watch to UPS for shipment. Don't forget that we're going towards 3 weeks since orders were placed and some people that had funds available at order time might not have funds (and CC approval from the bank) now.

I think if you have paid with Apple pay you don't have any holds or charges until shipment, CS said my card was approved, but I have no pending charges or holds.

I used Apple Pay, and have had a pending charge for Applecare+ the past two weeks. It finally dropped off yesterday, but nothing else has happened since.

I think Apple pay is just acting a little different compared to the people with just a strait credit card, I feel like everyone will see more movement tomorrow, they can only stack so many boxes for ups since it's Sunday.
 
Ug. Still processing. 42 SS BCB. it's my own fault. Overslept so confirm is 0:48. Still, getting antsy. Thinking of ordering 42 SS MIL and canceling whichever doesn't come first. Any thoughts? Thanks.
 
Still processing no charge yet 3:07am confirmation the n EOD on 4.22 at 11:10pm (Eastern Daylight Time)
I hope I see something later tonight
 
i agree i also think people who payed with :apple:pay got them first truthfully.

The only issue with that is... I'm not to sure if the website opened up right at 12, because I know the Apple Store App was not active until about 2-3 minuets after 12. I believe that is where some people got ahead.

Don't worry... Ether way we will still get it before the 8th! you have to understand that there was tens of thousands of other people ordering this watch at the same time... it would be great if :apple: could fulfill everything but automation can only go so fast... im sure everything is running at full speed

I think you're right. On order day I had my MBP and iPhone in front of me. I was using website in the laptop and the Apple Store App on the phone. I was refreshing both. My Apple Store App didn't come on line until 2 past 5 in Sydney. I placed my order at 5:02 PM. Got confirmation email at 17:03:02 AEST. Got email of death on Thursday afternoon, Friday afternoon had status change to "Preparing for Shipment". However, I have had no movement since then, no charge on card.

I ordered 42mm Sports SG with Black Band. I have another couple hours until CS opens in Sydney. I know the card works because I see every other charge in the world come through but the one I want the most.
