how long did it say "preparing for shipment" before it said "shipped"?

My watch is on "Versand wird vorbereitet" since last evening...

Anyone knows how long ir keeps the status "preparing for...

Yesterday around 2 PM: PFS
yesterday around 11:30 PM: shipping

As the UPS tracking number is not working I called UPS. They said that "shipped" means they (UPS) got the order but didn´t pick up the watches yet.
As soon as they´ll pick them up (hopefully these minutes :) ) I should be able to see the tracking.

Kopf hoch, there is still hope for your order to be shipped out today with delivery tomorrow!

PFS was yesterday at ca. 15h and turned to Shipped at 21:30 (both german time zone). Delivery date is for 30th - so it will be 2 days between PFS and delivery. My first watch last week was a bit faster: PFS on 23 at 10:30, shipped at 15:30 and delivered on 24th at 15:30.

DHL express or ups??
 
One more thing which might give you some more hints...
On 24th I received a Mail from Apple Helpdesk offering a Video Setup for my ordered Appel watch. Mail came in on 24th at 7:43; watch arrived same day at 15:30.
Today I just received the same mail at 13:04; watch is scheduled for delivery for tomorrow.

DHL express - status was "in delivery by courier" since 7:46 on friday and was delivered at 15:30

You have to be patient... the 18-digit tracking # 0079XXXX... is not trackable by DHL yet. It will take some time (couple of hrs) and this tracking # will turn into a 10-digit DHL tracking # which you then can easily track on DHL site! Good luck!

Ok, thanks a lot!

It's trackable thru DHL Express International...
 
I'm very curious if today will be shipped more watches... but i think the waves are planed to every week, when Watches will Arrive in the Europe.. Later when the first orders are completed there will be enough watches to send them directly within europe.. but actually i think there are no watches available and the actually send watches were the first produced...

But.. i can be wrong.. The iPhone 6 Plus i've ordered was delivery by UPS directly from Hongkong...


Does anybody know where US-Watches "start" their trackable jorney?

38mm sports pink just got shipping notification. Will also be delivered tomorrow with DHL express. So my both orders are now on the way.

Same for me, Preparing since last night around 10pm.
now it's 3:30pm, almost 9 hours and still not shipped.... :eek:
 
I stopped by The Corner Berlin around noon today and placed an order for a 38mm SGS and got a call an hour later that it was available for pickup. If anyone is in Berlin I would recommend placing an order through them since they seem to be getting watches in faster than the online store.
 
Hey guys, my PayPal just stated that my payment for the Apple Watch is being authorized. How long would it take until the payment is actually completed? :p

EDIT: Just did find out that it means my payment is being hold now; once my order is being shipped (or at least once it's preparing for shipment) it should be charged fully. This is quite some great news!
