Just looked back at my iPhone 6 order (also received on "launch day") and it shipped Sept. 15 and arrived Sept. 19, so if they follow the same pattern, our watches should ship tomorrow (Monday) for Friday delivery...

Can you see if it came directly from China, or was it shipped from within the States?

conversly, my order was shipped from Louisville KY on the 18th and overnighted to me for 19th delivery.
 
My two cents after reading this thread all day and chatting with rep:

Based on the workshop dates listed in your area (my area has first workshop Sunday, 26th), the first batch of orders should arrive just before that.

I ordered at 2:05 central, so 4 minutes after first order. I expect I will get mine Friday or Saturday.

Rep said that early orderers like me "will be happy."

Not too worried.

Haha, the reps know nothing, just like John Snow. Same goes for Comcast, AT&T and the like.
 
New here, but I've been reading this thread for days lol. For some reason it helps to pass the time. I have even stopped checking my order status because surely this thread will blow up when there is a status update.

My order is one of the latest ones I think to be in this delivery window. My confirmation email is stamped 3:16 am - ordered 38mm Sport White Band. I was online when the site went live but had to put in 4 gift cards, so by the time the order was done it was a bit later.

I am choosing to believe that there is a good chance a large percentage of people (not necessarily all) in this window will get their watch on the 24th. I realize that might not happen though. I think the 2-week window is there as a cushion, and possibly there for certain configurations that were lower in supply (I'm looking at you Space Grey Black Sport Band).

Just my opinion...fingers crossed for everyone that we get them on the 24th or not long thereafter, hang in there everyone!
 
Here is something different to talk about while we are all checking order statuses. I can see my order status on the website without issue. Delivery app tracks it fine, other than going by the last day in the delivery window. But the Apple Store app reports I have placed no orders in the past 18 months when I use the order status link on the app. Same problem both on my iPhone and iPad and I am definitely logged in to my account correctly. Even logged out and back in again to see if that helped.

Anyone else seen this? Any ideas?

There have been several reports of this same issue throughout this thread.

Someone else mentioned that as well; I assume that since your order still shows up on apple.com then you're fine. Chalk tonight's heart palpitations up to app glitches (Deliveries and The Apple Store).
 
So a good question would be: If an update to the order status would happen, would people in Australia see it first before us in North America? Or do all ordered get updated at the same time regardless of the geographical location?
 
I got my order in at 3:03 EST. I have a shipping range of 4/24 - 5/8.

For the iPhone 6+ I got my order in by 3:05 EST.

Don't assume. You know what they say about that.

If we are making a 1:1 comparison between the launches, I wouldn't consider 3:05 early (which is, yes I know, insane and sad). I was up late that night with a friend over PS4 voice chat (we were duking it out in 2k to pass the time). I got my order in at 3:03 with the launch window delivery. He got his in at 3:05 because he had to use the web-store to use a gift card, and the web-store took longer to load than the app. He has the mid-may delivery window.

So, I have no doubt that early orders will get it on launch day. The definition of "early," however, will remain to be seen.

I ordered a Pink 38mm Sport at 2:06a CDT and that had a May 13-27 delivery date. I then went back after I placed a webstore order for charger, milanese loop and green sport band and saw that the Green 38mm Sport still had launch day delivery. I ordered the green and got the 4/24 to 5/8 window and my order came through at 2:22a CDT. It's gonna be interesting!

No palpitations...just weird. It has done this all week, not just tonight.
 
Interestingly, when i placed my order at 5.01PM on the 10th, i got the confirmation email immediately and my card had a $579 charge placed on hold. (Showed as pending on my account) That charge dropped off this morning. I wonder if that means they're preparing to charge the full amount today just before shipping them out.

I ordered the Space Gray Sport and have an order time of 3:01. If I don't get mine on day 1 I don't think anyone will lol. It doesn't come any earlier than the minute the preorder went live. Unless we're getting down to seconds. Then geez lol.

No. It means absolutely nothing.

I believe apple ships via batches, not times. So whether you ordered at 12:01, or 12:02, it will ship as long as it has the same delivery window.
