This is glacial progress. There are still so many 3s and 4s just now being shipped that I'm starting to think those of us in the 5 and beyond window are going to get pushed out beyond the 5/8 deadline.



I'm really starting to think Apple should've put off launch day by at least another month in order to avoid this slow trickle.


Just to confirm, no one should get their orders because you didn't get yours?
 
I finally got charged and now PFS!! ## 44 MM SS BSB ordered X:07, Sydney Australia!

What a relief!!

How long does it usually take to change to shipped?

Mine took almost 72 hours. But I think that was due to getting my, "Preparing for Shipment" Friday at about 3:25. Changed to shipped yesterday. Got my watch today at 10:30 :cool:
 
Another night goes by with zero movement.

Meanwhile, my neighbor whose original ship date was mid-late May has his on the truck for delivery today. Really hoping these start moving soon at a more brisk pace. I sort of expected yesterday to be an onslaught or watches shipping left and right.
 
Are you an apple employee?
:rolleyes:

Charged late last night and preparing for shipment. See my signature for details I'm not awake yet. East Coast US.
 
So I did have a pending charge for AppleCare+ since Friday but now that's randomly fallen off ;(
 
Huh? You obviously misread my post.


Putting off launch day would mean no watches would ship. A lot of people (including me) have their watches already. What you're saying is that Apple should have held the launch presumably so you'd get your watch on the same day as everyone else. Hence, since you don't have your watch you're saying no one should.

Not sure how posting the same screen shot and a snarky "rollseyes" is supposed to clarify. Your order says Personal EPP order. Does that mean you're an apple employee?
 
What time did you order? Thats the same model Ive been waiting (im)patiently on.
Order Placed April 10, 2015 17:48PM HKT

1. I did not post the exact same screen shot. It is a screenshot of my updated order status.
2. I am unable to directly/explicitly answer your question, hence the "rollseyes" emoticon/emoji.
 
Still processing. 42mm SS BCB 3:12a order ET usa

Happy to see a lot of shipping this am, including a watch like mine. Gives hope. Congrats to all and thanks for keeping us posted.
 
My card was charged for Apple Care and my 42 mm Pink band last night at 9PM Pacific time.

Still showing "Processing Items".

Hoping that I get the "Preparing for Shipping" notice today or tomorrow.

Your snarky answer presumed wrong. The point is that Apple should've waited until they could fill a majority of orders on launch day, rather than the 25% or so they've done so far. That would've given them a chance to work out some of the production issues they're clearly having.

Whether you and I have our watches right now is irrelevant.

That's great news. Just checked my card and my Apple orderstatus - no changes. Hopefully I'm right behind you. Make sure you post your delivery info as soon as you get it.
They tried to charge me at 3 o'clock in the morning but my bank flagged it as fraud so I called them this morning and they fixed it

Again so like the first person said, your saying they should have pushed the launch out because u didn't get your watch like some ppl did on Launch Day? No matter how u word it, that's essentially what your saying... Now we will wait to see how u rephrase it this time because its all coming back to the same thing so far. i'll wait...

I often call my bank ahead of time to give them a "heads up" when I'm expecting to make a larger purchase. Doesn't always prevent a security block, but usually it does.

Is there any particular time of day when it seems that most orders get updated? It seems from following this thread that most updates occur either overnight or in the morning. I just want to try to limit my obsessiveness as much as possible.
 
EEP is employee purchase plan. 50% off nice and a quick delivery. Usually Apple wants to service customers first before offering stock to employees. Good for you.

Many companies have EPPs with Apple. User does not necessarily work there. My company has one. You get a modest discount sometimes. I don't think watch was included in mine but did not want to risk delay (ha).

Apple watch and new Macbook don't even appear in my EPP store. (Boeing)
