You're telling me! All this tax work melted my brain....that Apple Watch will fill the void.

Every time I check this site I am hoping to see a "PREPARING TO SHIP!!!"

But nothing yet.....

I'm not a CPA, but I'm an M&A lawyer stuck in deal hell for the last month or so... 100% sure my brain is melted. Either way, I feel the pain of the CPAs.
 
Think Big Analytics predicts the initial worldwide supply of Apple Watches, as of April 24th onwards, to be around the 3 million mark. That number is split into, 1.8 million Apple Watch Sport models, 1.3 Apple Watch models and around 40,000 Apple watch Editions. Basically this translates to around $2Bn for Apple in revenue with a profit margin on each watch around the 60% mark.

Shipments are in route to depot's across the US (they will not be shipping from China to households in US). You will most likely not see anything until wed-thursday depending on which US depot it will ship from. This was the same thing that happened with the iPhone 6. In fact I think I got a shipping update before I was even charged for the phone. :)
 
Meanwhile there's several tornado warnings in the U.S. and we are all concerned about whether our watches will ship today, tomorrow, etc. lmao

Way to link two unrelated items.
There are a lot of more serious things going on in the world.
Why not list them all?
Just not here.

You should remove the smiley. This information is about 2000 post late.

Taken out of context this reads like a zen koan.

A timely piece is in the air.
Many wings flapping, but are they one?
Look to the sky, hear the roar
I don't know where my watch is,
What a chore.
 
i ordered an extra charge along with the :apple: Watch. The charger's status just changed to "preparing for shipment" and the :apple: Watch still "processing items" :rolleyes:

“Though if you’re in the first batch of shipments and are still worried about receiving the Watch closer to May 8, don’t. The May date is in there just in case an uncommon occurrence happens. Since the delivery of the smartwatch isn’t in Apple's hands, they’d rather promise a later date and have it arrive early than promise an earlier date and have it miss that window. As with most things, it’s better to under-promise and over-deliver.

No one can say for certain. But one of Apple’s customer service reps told us if you receive a shipment notification by Tuesday or Wednesday, odds are you’ll have your Apple Watch by Friday, the April 24.”

Supply Chain.....tornadoes would clearly slow the shipping...in his mind...Actually the only thing that would slow shipping is a hurricane some natural disaster or terrorism in the areas that the watches would ship from.

In *her* mind :p but thanks for having my back lol :)
 
Wow, I felt so alone before I discovered this thread. This gives me new life. Now I await my delivery. Thanks everyone.
 
I think we all just need to get drunk...or at least wait until after work and then get drunk. And if we drink enough we can pass out to make one more day go quicker. :)

Well I've been removing furniture all day from a relatives house, she passed away a few months ago.
That's just to get to this point. I've had literally enough of my morphine to kill a cow, and quite a few of my other pills, so my day is now passing along just spiffingly. I don't need booze lol.
 
This thread has kept me going over these past 3/4 days.

Here's hoping Apple changes the status soon so we can have a wave of 'my Apple Watch order status just changed!!'
