seriously? That's the email of death? It's an email telling you that your watch will be delivered by May 8th.
I'm sitting on sometime in June.
Unbelievable.

Actually, not delivered. It ships between 4/28-5/8 meaning it would be shipped on or before 5/8. If for standard shipping, it would be another 5 business days after 5/8.
Hey, no need to flame me, I have 4 watches on order. All in processing. Two of them are in June.
I presume you ordered late. Many of us stayed up all night and, like in prior launches, ordered minutes after they started taking orders with full expectation that we'd have them on launch day. It's been disappointing to see that we would not partake on the fun today via a muddled somewhat disingenuous email. They knew the would not arrive today so why say it again.
I called Apple again about my :03 confirmed watch and get this the lady says " that's because some states were able to order them first" I nearly fell out of my chair! Then she says " you see some ordered at 12am and some couldn't order until 3am" I said to her did you ever hear of east and west time zones? The phone went silent for 2 minutes and then she said let me get someone else to help you. After a 5 minute hold we were allegedly disconnected.
Actually I didn't. I ordered on the 10th but after the apple store visit I had to cancel my order and order something I liked better.
Ah the thread of disappointed friends. Hi! I might drink all the wine in my house tonight to ease my pain. Anyone else?
It's not a problem though. It's the Apple way, they love creating chaos whipping people into a feeding frenzy, creating headlines. They've been doing this for years. It's only a problem if you say it is.
I know exactly what to expect, it's just tech stuff that goes obsolete anyway. A non essential item that one can easily live without. But being the powerful, clever, money making company they are, it's in Apples best interest to convince people they can't live without it.
Show of hands....
Who thinks the people with 4-24 - 5-8 estimates will get some kind of movement on their order today? Surely the ones who got the EOD are next to be fulfilled right!?!?! If Apple ships some today do you think they will do Saturday delivery? I am trying to be optimistic but the longer I stay in Processing hell the more bitter I am becoming!

Ok I just called Apple CS to lividly complain.
Basically Apple CS says my watch is sitting in a pallet in Rialto,CA waiting to be unloaded and processed. She believes that it will be delivered tomorrow (she confirmed UPS Saturday delivery).
I could not believe that she said that. I asked her, "So they didnt any have time in two weeks to maybe, oh I dont know, unload the pallet?" She laughed and said "I guess not."
How did you get them to find that info for you? (What did you say?) Whenever I call/chat with them, they give the same vague answers that we got in the EOD...
I called and spoke to a good rep lol. I just said I didn't understand why it's not out for delivery.
Lol, gotcha, thanks! I might try to call later and see if I can get someone with decent info. Either way, I hope you get yours tomorrow!
I actually think that so many didn't get that it's ruining it for those that did get. There is a negative undertone to this whole watch launch. You just can't deny die hard fans who ordered at the stroke of midnight. Yes I'm sulking!
What time did you get your confirmation email? April 10th 3:12am (EST)
What model did you order? 42mm SS Black Classic Band

Any other pertinent info: Used Apple Pay; Ordered AppleCare+;Card was charged and then removed 4/10; No charge on card; Nothing on UPS; Nothing on Apple Support; Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
I understand they gave us the 4/24-5/8 date and that is apparently enough for some of our more patient brethren. However, they certainly seemed eager to get all those custom watched out to celebrities and fashion people (none of whom really care about this). More importantly, they advertised that the watches would be available 4/24 before we made our 4/10 orders. Only once you make the order is there the 4/24-5/8 date reveal which seems like a complete cop out. This is a new product. Higher demand than expected. Blah blah blah. That is nonsense. It certainly appears that there are all kinds of inconsistencies in who is getting their orders on time. Looking through the threads it appears that there are people who ordered right away who are still recessing while others who ordered later (same model and band) are getting deliveries.

I just talked to a rep and received different info. They stated they know nothing about Saturday deliveries and he said my watch was coming from a warehouse in TN. Every other rep has told me PA.
So again, different answers depending on who you talk to. He also more or less told me that the forums were full of **** or that I was lying when I mentioned some people have had their orders fulfilled that ordered the same model later than someone else.
Have we been able to confirm if people that ordered a particular model at a later time are getting delivery before people that ordered that same model at an earlier time? Or are we just seeing some models ordered later are shipping before different models ordered earlier? Right now I'm disappointed, but if the above gets confirmed I'm going to be pretty upset.
