Fair enough. But the majority of the posts I've seen here and in other threads have to do with the SS BSB.
I don't know whether the watch will ship by Friday and I don't know anyone who knows either. As other posters have said, based on previous Apple preorders there is no real way of knowing so persistently making pessimistic unfounded comments can easily have the effect of getting people down or even disgruntled.
The irony - my wife is more worried about her skirt not arriving from HM.
Can you imagine... I'm on here and the apple store destroying my F5 key and sending myself bonkers.
Just goes to show you
I just know I'm not going to get mine now, I have a bad feeling about Friday. I ordered it at 8.03am - You're so cruel Apple
I know all Apple Watches are limited in supply but I have a feeling they are/were extremely limited in supply with the Apple Watch Sport Space Grey models.
I am tempted to order an Apple Watch with Black Sport Band (priced £479.00) as I think they aren't as limited. I'd probably even get that Watch before the one I originally ordered!

Actually if you read my original post, before you got your knickers in a twist, i said, the whole China theory is BS.
You have just jumped down several people on this threads throats for nothing. If we are really winding you up that much talking about how our orders are processing, then don't come on here. It's easy.
Also, it's spelt 'Accepting' and yes, people should begin to accept that the more time that passes today, the less it is looking good for their order coming on Friday. That is something you may just need to accept without being a little b**** (Your words, not mine).

Mine is probably coming from UK stock, looking good for Friday #

I think a lot more people than just the first wave will get their watch v soon.
I have a SS 42 Black Sport on 4/6 weeks. No SS Black Sport has moved yet. I think this is because there are a ton of them in local depots. My thinking behind this is that it's the one on the demo stands, so psychologically many people may order this combo, and Apple know that.
Also, imagine the non-nerd buying experience..... you can't buy it in the shops and you aren't a "stay up till the exact minute preorders start", because either you don't know or don't care. You go into a shop on the 10th to try one on, you then order it, and then get told you can't get one till June or later. That just isn't a good experience and I don't think Apple can let that happen.

Mhm, but I'd still rather go with the model I prefer than the one that ships faster.
Now that I do agree with, no one outside of Apple and their shipping partners know exactly what is happening with deliveries.
I was just referring to your comment that there will be no SS BSB deliveries this week. It's still far too soon (in a typical Apple launch period) for us to start thinking like that.
Lets those of us waiting on them keep our hopes up until it is actually too late for them to be delivered. When close of business comes tomorrow and I haven't been charged for mine, then I'll be here pissing and complaining with everyone else
That all you have to say to the rest of my points?
This 'throwing your toys out the pram' self entitlement is getting boring now. People on this forum are more than happy to help, and answer questions. But being a brat about the fact you might need to wait a few more days for your watch to other people who are just using the forum to update their thoughts (as is their right) is pathetic.
Again, if we are really annoying you that much, then stop reading.
Pink one I ordered first at about 8:02 hasn't been charged. Blue one I ordered some time after that has been charged and is preparing to dispatch. So yeah, looks like the pink ones may not be arriving on Friday.

Ok saying NONE is wrong. I believe that there have already been some out there in the wild with charges on their account. Just nobody here and therefore I also think no one here will get one this week. "I Believe" not "I know".
Btw - As darrenpop is around it might be best to correct your grammar! "it is actually too late"
I know it doesn't matter and I know you know the difference and that you are just replying quickly... and I know no one cares... APART from darrenpop. The guy cares about the English language. Bless him!

I think throwing around unsubstantiated nonsense helps no one. I am here to read that people are getting their confirmations and shipping notices. That TRUTH makes me happy.
hmm. its odd.
the wife's pink one was charged yesterday but no update
my 42mm Sport SG black was updated to preparing for dispatch this morning.

Nobody in the first tier has the right to moan if their watches don't arrive on Friday. Apple have documented a two week window for delivery. It watches don't arrive this week there is no case for criticism
Even if orders placed well after yours have changed status? No case for criticism there?
