I'm starting to wonder what I'll do when my watch actually arrives and I'll no longer be able to obsessively check my order status, credit card app, and this forum. I'll have to find a new hobby.

I think you need to make a game called "Want NAOW!" that simulates the ordering, processing, shipping, and receiving of some randomly generated Apple gadget. It can take place in real time and generate simulated forum discussions too.

You can experience the feeling of anxious waiting OVER and OVER and OVER again!

lol i'm already started trying to find a hobby all in between this torture lol.
 
Yeah, thought that odd also. That is the tracking number that was on my shipping doc. Maybe Apple is getting a flat rate?

Didn't order an extra charger yet and the extra band I ordered is still processing.

This is a tracking notice for a 42mm/SS/Milanese. 2.7 lbs.

Something strange.

My passport on my 6plus showed the charge for the watch about an hour ago.

I go to check the status, still processing.

I check my card transactions online, doesn't show anything but the applecare.

Ok so I am very confused.

Did this happen to anyone else?

I understand as I have seen other tracking pages. The tracking number I received from Apple this morning matches the tracking number for this shipment.
I did notice that the shipping was for 'Next Day Air Saver'

I will update when I receive my shipment.

Passbook only lists transactions you initiate via ApplePay.

However, to see actual posts on your account, you need to check your account.
 
Sorry. #. Are you seeing this info right under the card you used via Passbook?

Or are looking at Passbook's information window (where all the data is shown) and seeing transactions?

Saw it on my lock screen, with the amount, under the Name of the card. Nothing in the information window. :(
 
I'm getting pretty bummed… I ordered at 3:07, and was originally expecting it launch day. In the week leading up to that I was very excited ... checking the order status all the time, reading every article I could find, and scouring these forms.

Even after the email of death, I stayed pretty amped through Friday and the weekend as people started complaining and posting problems. But for some reason today I've noticed that my enthusiasm is really dropping off. I'm still sitting in processing limbo and most of the excitement is already gone. I'm sure I'll still be excited when it arrives whenever that is, but I guess a lot of it for me was the launch day anticipation and getting to be one of the first people wearing one of these things. That ship is clearly sailed and I was not on board. Anybody else experiencing this?

Just go to your local apple store and try one on again..play with one of the unit on display. It will all come back :)
 
It would be interesting to know what time Apple thinks your order queued. Might be worth the call to CS.

If you don't mind a few more questions, who is your iPhone service provider and were you using WiFi or Cellular service? If WiFi, do you know what your speed was?

I know I'm asking picky questions, but I'm truly interested in your pending status given your order time. ...looking for important variables that could influence future queuing orders.

Thanks in advance.

I asked them. They said: 12:06.39 am PDT

Yes, indeed. You explained the feeling quite well, and I really don't know what to make of it. It's perplexing.

I've always received on launch day. You too?

I felt the same way, on Friday night after coming to terms with the fact that I was not going to get the watch on launch I wanted to cancel my order and stop doing business with Apple, it was that serious, but once I finally recieved the watch I forgot all about that nonsense and continued to enjoy the product. you may feel the same way.
 
Still no movement from "Processing Items" limbo for me in Los Angeles.

Card not charged for the order Apple confirmed at 1207 AM 4/10...
 
Delivery Dates 4/24-5/8

Mostly been hanging out in the Space Gray thread for better data mining, but popping in here. Stats in my sig are still true. (00:04:28 processing limbo.)

This launch is kinda busted.

We've all gotten used to that scenario where we're willing to get up absurdly early and wrestle with a Web site in order to get that order in right at midnight in order to nearly guarantee one on launch day.

But now we're just buying a window, with no guarantee that we'll get one on launch day, even if we're early. Heck, the whole process is governed by some complex logistics no one has quite figured out yet. Maybe this is the future of new Apple products, and we'll have launch weeks and maybe even launch months instead of just a specific day.

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm thinking more know about the whole ordering process right now than the actual product I'll have at the end of day.

I agree. Well said.
