Don't loose hope. I may not get mine tomorrow. It is likely, but not assured. Even if you don't get yours tomorrow, you will get it Saturday, or Monday or some time very soon. I know it is easy for me to say, because i have an updated status, but i was in your shoes until about an half hour ago, so trust me, just wait and things will take the course they are supposed to for you. I wish the best of luck to you that you will get your watch tomorrow. Cheers! (I'm pretty sure people in the UK say that, right?):)

Not yet. Apple needs to promote the Watch a lot more, show us more pics of supermodels and celebs using it, send us more material about it, show us all the cool apps we can't use yet, send us emails to let us know they are not shipping our watches, and rub it in our faces as much as possible that we don't have one before they will send them.

TC: Let's create a product that nobody wants. Promote the hell out of it months before we release it. Do one of the biggest pre-launch marketing campaigns in history. Get it on TV, in fashion magazines. Give it out to celebs and journalists who don't even care about our products. Create so much buzz that people eventually do want it, really badly. Put it in stores so people can try it on and see how cool it is, but not allow them to buy it. Then pre-sell it and only have enough inventory so that the most diehard fans who stayed up all night could order it, AND then let's not even ship it to them. Oh, and all those developers who are working really hard on apps to help launch our new product, let's give a random number of them the opportunity to enter to WIN a chance to BUY the least popular model at full price, and still ship it to them a week late. Our employees can get a 50% discount, but won't have theirs until June when we're onto our announcing our next big product.

Sigh. What a storm cloud you are.
 
After all the anxiety and then the joy of getting my shipping confirmation. Now it looks like My package missed the plane. My order on UPS.com shows delivery tomorrow on myups calendar. But the tracking number shows it is still in Harrisburg PA waiting for pick up. I'm in AZ. and there are no UPS flights from Harrisburg to Phoenix. To make matters worse both my wife and daughters watches are already in Phoenix ready for delivery in the morning.
 
Off to work for a half day. Mine is "out for delivery" with UPS today, no time given though, just "by end of day". I was hoping it might have turned up before 7:30 when I had to leave for the train, but guess I'm one of the lucky ones and can't be too greedy. I do have work to do this morning :p

Good luck everyone.
 
The Apple email said it will arrive between April 24 - May 8. I'm just hoping it comes sooner than later.
 
No update.

22% of orders got fulfilled on launch apparently.

24/4-8/5 my estimate, still processing...
