Hey, first post, been reading for the last few days but thought I'd join my fellow 42mm space grey pre-order-ers. Confirmation received 08:04:15 still processing and no charge taken :(

Welcome aboard! I'm still hopeful ours might move tonight/tomorrow!
 
12th - 26th and preparing for shipment while my 24th - 8th is still processing!
Gives me some hope that mine may be arriving on a plane today or tomorrow morning!
I wonder if Apple decided to send mine together so save on shipping charges which makes sense.. Time will tell. No guarantee until i have both in my hands but the fact its changed status and have been charged is positive.
 
Hi guys I've had my Space Grey, Black sports strap preparing for dispatch since early this morning. Took my money 4pm yesterday. I confirmed pre-ordered 8:03. Don't think there's any truth in the Space Grey theory about not making Friday delivery. All seems to be going as planned to be fair. Hope this helps

Mine was same order at 8.03. Money taken from account yesterday at 4pm but Apple Store says still processing. Seems totally random as to who gets one on Friday!!
 
The missing authorisation could be because you used that card before, fair point. But also some user mentioned that they have had that test charge only yesterday.

In regards to your order: Can you log in to your apple account in the store online and see your order? Or look it up with the single order number look up.

Hi - thanks :) Yes my order is showing absolutely fine on my Apple account - it's just that every one is talking about the time stamped Apple confirmation emails and I don't have one :-( - it's just making me a little twitchy ;)

I'm in the UK, Ordered 2 watches as soon as i could when released.

38mm White sport was showing as delivery for on Friday but the 42mm space grey sport was May 12th - 26th.
White watch was showing as preparing for dispatch last night then this morning so was the black, however the date on the black still says May. My card has been charged so i assume i should get them both Friday. Fingers crossed.

Awesome! But I'm confused?! Your SG is preparing for despatch?
This makes no sense at all!
 
I for one don't know what to think...both of the watches I've ordered (SG Sport 42mm and Sport with Pink band 38mm) are still in Processing, credit card hasn't been charged. I'm in the first batch, 24/4 (supposed) delivery, email confirmation received at 8:04. I don't know, I've just been to the store and had a few try-ons and now I want it even more! But, will it be on my wrist on Friday? Chances are slimmer by the minute :(
 
2) I have not had any pre-authorisation £1.00 come out of my account. Is this because I have already ordered with Apple using the debit card on my Apple account? Or is this more evidence that there might be an issue?
I wouldn't worry too much about that - the initial £1 is done at point of order and is only a pre auth to ensure the card details are correct - it is very quickly cleared and won't show up on pending purchases indefinitely. I have only really become aware of how commonplace they are since getting the Amex passbook which notifies me instantaneously whenever a pre-auth / purchase hits my account (many websites or services have a similar temporary charge when you update card details even without an associated purchase). I would say the majority of card users are never aware that anything was ever against their card unless they happen to notice their available balance is temporarily £1 lower than it should be.

If the order is showing up in your account then that is the main thing. You won't see any further action on your card until it is ready to move to preparing for dispatch. Bit strange that the order confirmation email never showed up - on your account when you click on view / edit order details does it definitely show the correct email address? If so I would recheck your spam filter - depending on your provider it may be in their server spam filter rather than your email client's.
 
Just been observing thread over last couple of days. Thought a good time to comment that SG 42. Order confirmation of 8:01. Payment taken yesterday and order changed to preparing for shipping today at about lunch time. So hoping for a Friday delivery.

Maybe check your spam, but in honesty, as long as the order is showing up in the apple account I wouldn't worry at all. If you want one, chat with the support and ask them to resend it.

You will be ok, mate.

M8 I got 08:03 on a 42mm SG Sport, I've heard nuffin.

I'm resigned to not getting it on Friday now, hopefully early next week.

Annoying because I've seen some people in the 4-6 week range getting charged and "preparing for dispatch".

For the same watch that you have ordered?
 
Just found out that my brother in law has ordered a space grey 38mm sport and Apple took the money yesterday and his status has handed to preparing for dispatch. He also ordered a SS link but it's down as the end of May.

Yeah that's the thing. People ordering AFTER I did are getting notifications, charges, whatever. Why is this so random? Delivery location is central London so that couldn't impact delivery...

Thanks that is reassuring - fingers crossed all ok. I cannot believe how obsessed I have been :D

It's strange - I have a Mac.com account, so hopefully an Apple would not be classed as Spam ;) I have bought from Apple many times before and I normally receive their emails fine - I do normally skim through my junk mail just in case.

Hopefully my email is in an alternative cyber universe. I'm still secretly hoping beyond all hope, that my watch will magically turn up on Friday despite not being ordered until 10th afternoon. Well that version of events is keeping me temporarily sane anyway :D

are you in the "May Crew?"
 
Been watching this thread for a few days alongside constantly refreshing my apple account and my santander account, I got a confirmation email at 8.04 for my 42mm Space grey aluminium sport but I've not heard a peep since, I spoke to santander earlier who said a £1 charge was put onto my card on the 10/4/2015 but nothing has happened since, beginning to think I won't be receiving my watch on release day, makes me sad!
