I think they start charging the Apple care firs, that was howthey did to me, they charged to me since April 12 for the Apple care for the two watches I ordered, and today they charger for 1 of my watches, and the other watch still waiting. By the way, my payment method is PayPal


So you bought two watches and they charged you for apple care on 4/12? You haven't got either watch yet? Oh my gosh!
 
I am not sure

74.00? You think that's just a generic authorization or you bought someone for that amount?

Like I said, this is the second charge I have seen like that. the first one was several weeks ago, and disappeared a few days later (never went from pending to posted on my account). I sent an email to the bank asking them to ensure that 2 separate purchases from the Apple online store in the amounts shown on my two emails, would not be declined. Still shows "Processing" online.
I have not purchased anything that would equal EXACTLY $74.00. I know it can't be the AppleCare+ as that is 69.00 and no amount of NC tax can come up with that exact amount.
 
I ordered a 42-mm Milanese loop the morning of Aoril 10 and it's being delivered today.
 
just got off chat with Apple about the $74.00

Turns out to be a pre-authorization. She refused to confirm if that meant it was shipping today or not..... She said it should disappear in a few days.
Still hoping ill get the ship notification tonight for the Wife's watch.....

Gotcha... Yeah,that's what I was thinking. It was a generic authorization from apple. Let's hope we see some movement. I need my fiancée's gift! Lol
 
38mm at xx:06 and still processing.

I should really stay away from the forums as my hopes were high for today but looks like it might be later.

Keep the information coming so I can plan the rest of my week accordingly.
 
I love Apple to death but this has to be their worse new product launch ever. I wonder if things would have still played out the way they have if Jobs were still alive?

Oh please, give me a break. Anyone remember the white iPhone 4 issue? it shipped 10 MONTHS LATE- under Steve Jobs watch.
 
5 weeks, anyone that doesn't think they didn't make these untill after people ordered them are rather foolish.
 
I was upset when my boyfriend got his watch on the "launch day" and I got mine 5 days after. My order was placed before his on April 10th. But when my watch came, all the hate suddenly disappeared. For sure, these people who are getting their watches on May 12 will be happy. They will forget the fact that their order was delayed for 2 weeks.

No evidence that any with leather loop or modern buckle bands are shipping let alone arriving today.
 
It HAS it be the 42mm...


I was counting on a 38mm, but seems all of them are probably ship time 3 - 5 weeks, like mine...

Strange this just so happened to the 38mm, being the same hardware in all watches, the fault could have been in at least a few 42mm right ?

But we never hear of that happening.

I would have liked to see a "slew" of issues across both 38mm AND 42mm with the delay... rather it only happening to the 38mm....


That's just questionable
 
CC Charged

Ordered 42MM SS, BSB at around 8:30AM EST 10th of April. so about 8 hours after pre order launch
Got the 13th of May through 27th of May timeline.
CC just got charged, and status changed to Preparing for Shipment.
Cant wait!!!

White iPhone 4 went worse :)

A pox upon you for mentioning that... as I nervously wait for my 42mm SBSS watch.

So I've seen a few people comment about their 42mm SS watch with Link Bracelets moving along, including the image in this article. But has anyone seen movements on the SBSS version?

Or am I the canary... my order confirmation came in at 12:04am, anyone here got me beat?

A co-worker already has their 42mm SG Sport model. I warned 'em that they'll need a Kensington lock for that thing by the end of the week.... ;)
 
yes. my SS SB just changed to "Preparing for Shipment" original delivery dates were May13th through May 27th. I am hoping ill get it within the next couple of days. Credit Card also got charged

Mine changed to preparing for shipment yesterday morning for my 38mm SS Milanese Loop. I received a shipment notice with tracking yesterday afternoon it's supposed to be here today. So it seems like they are getting the watches delivered quickly.

Dam it.... You'll trying to make me look bad..... I need to wait 3 - 5 weeks (hopefully)...

I keep checking in the hope it may be sooner, then later, but that's probably just 'only a wish'

Which one did you order? I thought mine was going to take 4-6 weeks. Then Apple sent me a 3-4 week email last week. Then now it's going to be delivered today!

I ordered the 42mm SB SS ON 4/10 and got my confirmation email at 12:03AM. I haven't seen any updates to my order. Still says 4 - 6 weeks, delivery between May 13 - 27. Very frustrating, especially if Apple is delivering the EXACT same watch configuration to people who ordered after me.
 
Shipment notification!

Just got a shipment notification for the SS Link bracelet. They had promised "May" and it will arrive May 13. Not so bad.
 
I got my email confirmation about an hour ago. Delivery date tomorrow

Just to be clear... I'm still in "processing" with the 4-6 week, May 13 - 27 delivery window identified. Still haven't seen any report of movement for anyone with a SBSS model, and thanks to AppleInTheMud's comment I'm really wondering if it's another White iPhone 4 situation.... I'll be so much happier when I see any report of a SBSS preparing for shipment!
