Why does everybody seem to think that orders are being distributed by exact time of confirmations? This is not necessarily the case. orders are being processed by availability and location only. So if there are enough 42 mm SG Sport watches available to ship, whether the order is an xx:06, 07, 08, 09, 10 or beyond it really doesn't matter as long as the quantity is available there is a chance that all of these orders could be fulfilled at the same time or time frame.
I know that but you have to understand in the United States they aren't even past the 10 minute mark. They have been hoping around doing 7 minute orders one day, 5 the other, 6 other and so on and so fourth. All that aside I was just stating that they aren't even past a certain point which I was correct they aren't.
I placed my order for a 42mm SS Leather Loop on the 11th, mine has been June from the start and there has been absolutely no movement with that configuration for anyone.
Again, this is not true... There have been deliveries with orders for customers who have clearly placed an order for the same watch after another customer. It's all based on availability and region... There are 3 major Apple factories and based on which ever one your state is closes to is where your watch will ship from. So if u stay in the state of Alabama for example, that means your watch is coming from Tennessee, which is where UPS will pick up your watch from. so if Apple sends let's say, five thousand 42 SG sport models to that factory, then whomever placed orders within that particular region will receive notifications that their watches are prep for ship. Doesn't matter what time that somebody in the west coast or east coast ordered, only concerns the customers within the southeast region only.
You're close. btw - it's distribution centres you want to talk about, not factories. The factories aren't in the US.
Apple is trying to fulfill all orders in THE ORDER THEY WERE GIVEN. They've stated this multiple times in multiple responses to customers. There are logistics involved, however - which has resulted in green and white bands being made available in some geographies before others (as an example). So, location has a part of it as the shipments are migrated around the globe. But they are attempting to complete the orders in sequence as much as possible.
Yes I know that. I was just stating NO 42 MM SPACE GREY WATCHES HAVE BEEN SHIPPED PAST THE 10 MINUTE MARK OF ORDERS. I know that there are multiple things that go into when an order ships. Including your location.
Oh so now we're being politically correct huh? I know what they are, I used factories as an general word, like coca cola has distribution centers, but some people if your driving by one might call it a factory, just a general old school word for something that looks like a factory. Trust me, I'm probably one of the most reliable sources on this thread.
Good morning Australia!

So, I'm debating going the craigslist route. I have a chance to get the 42mm SS w. Black sport band on CL for $700 ($100 markup). I am currently waiting with "June" estimate when I ordered at midnight on the 24th of April. Should I pull the trigger and get it today and pay a slight premium, or should I just stick it out and hope this ships much sooner than june?
Don't do that. Just be patient, wait for your order, save your $100, and feel better having your own receipt and warranty.
4th week and still no movement, still in processing state.
Placed order on 4/11 for SG 42mm.
----------
Atleast yours shows a date mine is stuck on June.

I also ordered 42 mm SG BSB 4/10. delivery date: 5/27 - 6/9

I ordered a 38 mm Green Sport on May 2nd. Today it updated to a June 1- June 12th ship date. Watch is being delivered to Orlando, FL
I ordered my 42mm SS BSB evening of the 14th, and I have been stuck with the vague "June" estimate ever since. I want my watch!
Youre all wrong. I called apple. All orders are fulfilled by chronological order per watch, regardless of area. If one person orders a SG 42 on 4/10 at 12:01 he/she will get it before someone who ordered after that
*********.
Apple reps are blatantly misinformed. People in the UK, Europe and Australia are ordering 42mm SS WSB models, and have a turn around of 2 days max.
There are people in the US who pre-ordered that model within the first week of sales being open who have yet to have their watches.
It's one thing to have such a long and drawn out launch, but don't sit there and lie to customers when we know the truth. The fact of the matter is different countries have different allocations of product, and Apple can't explain to us why such a thing is happening.
