There's one key word you said there. Unofficial. Why would you believe these people?
For those without a "preparing for dispatch" status; I remain hopeful for you, but it is theoretically less than 48 hours until the first deliveries begin. Expect the best, prepare for the worst.
How funny would it be if once the "Shipped" notification comes through the first entry is:
22/04 Item collected at Shanghai

Ok, here is an update:
Apple are working through pre-orders by band/watch combo, they will get through as many as they can today, but if you're not seeing preparing to dispatch by 4pm today, you won't be getting your watch on Friday.
Both my Soace Grey Sport watches (38mm and 42mm) are now showing as preparing to dispatch

Well thats not true because there are those of us who are waiting for 42mm SG models within the opening minutes of pre order who are still stuck at processing.
They do seem to have been right about order progress so far (unlike the odd random Apple Support Chats that various people have posted).
@AppleSupport_UK is an odd arrangement. Have they just set up recently? If not, then one can only assume Apple UK tolerate them, perhaps even like the fact they provide some Twitter coverage without having to tow the strict US Apple Corporate line.
It is true, and they've already allocated all they have for 42 Space Grey Sport, so you didn't get allocated one
Your 38 Space Grey? You must be like, the only person in the world to have that status?
Ok so my 42 SS Mil Loop ordered at 8:04am
Is ...
NOWHERE, Ive still not been charged. Fuming.!
I spoke to the Apple chat though, he said my payment would be taken today, and because of the time I ordered I am still likely to get it Friday.... But I don't believe it
unless mine is in a warehouse and it'll be dispatched then money taken

Listen up.....
I have just had an online chat with Apple employee who have said I wont get my order until May
I had my order confirmed at 8.08am on the 10th with a delivery day of Delivery: 24/4-8/5 by Standard Shipping...
How does this work - Am I mad or is it the whole watch thing sending us mad - can anybody explain

This launch has been nothing short of a disaster. If you cant get up and place an order within 4 mins of the site going live and get it on launch day then something is very very wrong indeed.

Please tell me you don't have a SS with black sport band?!
A disaster?
It has been great. I ordered within minutes and charged and preparing for dispatch like many others and will have the watch Friday. It is still Wednesday and demand was extremely high so don't be too annoyed.

I think you might have just been a little bit too late with your ordering to have it delivered in the early part of the delivery window. Which Watch did you order?
My 42 SS Milanese & 38 White Sport were both charged yesterday and changed to preparing today.
Exciting times
Definitely having spicy pork to celebrate if they come on Friday.
