Nope still processing. I got the space gray sport (38mm) but it seems to be like that for everyone else who got it, regardless of their location :/
People in the UK are getting charged and preparing to ship on the 38 space grey. I think we'll see something this evening or later tonight
Yeah, and that's kind of why I went with the silver sport instead of the space gray. Which, could mean nothing - but I know whenever Apple has a new product it's the anodized colored ones that have initial quantity problems. It could be everyone went for the space gray to get the black sport band too. I weighed that option and found that I actually kind of liked the white one - it kind of reminded me of having the white earbuds with the iPod or iPhone. Hopefully you guys get processed soon though.
I was in the 5/13-5/27 window for a 42 sport silver with white band. Placed pre order 4/10 at 03:13 am. My order showed charged at 11:52 am on 4/22. I got shipping notice on 4/23 at 01:30. Shipping to Port St Lucie.
looks like most of us will be receiving our watches tomorrow.
Not all of us. I ordered 2 SS with black sports band, one 38mm for my wife and a 42mm for myself, ordered processed at 3:06, email confirmation received at 3:08. As of now, looks like only my wife will be getting hers tomorrow. I'm in Tampa.
Though unlike many here, I'll live if I have to wait a few extra days, not the end of the world.

I'll live, but will be disappointed. Apple has to know that if they confirm an order at 3:02am with a date range of 4/24-5/8 that all we saw was the 4/24. If they aren't going to make the date, then the least they could do is update the window accordingly. No one likes getting stood up, but it isn't as bad if they let you know they aren't going to make it.
But you said it yourself, they've given a date range and until the 8th arrives without a watch delivery, they've haven't lied or even falsely advertised anything. There is nothing they need to update or apologize for. I understand the passion of Apple fans, hell I'm almost always up at 3 AM EST for new preorders, but people need to calm down and relax.
I think the problem is that they genuinely had no idea how many of each style people would buy. I mean think about it, if 1M people order one style and only 50,000 people order another, its going to be much easier to fulfill the smaller order batch.
I'm not trying to make excuses, because I think if I was in your shoes, I'd be pissed, but I am just hypothesizing why this happened. Fortunately for me, mine will be delivered tomorrow. But I feel for you guys lol.
Got my shipped notification this morning for Coral Springs from Mount Juliet too!!
The only thing I believe they need to update is the delivery window. Once they know that 4/24 is not possible, then my order should be updated accordingly. I'm only expecting transparency, which is the same I expect with any online order.
And I'm already calm, but yeah, I've seen some pretty crazy responses on here.
