I've ordered a SS with Classic Buckle which is currently "preparing for dispatch" and a black SS with link bracelet which is pending. No email for either so far.

Email received that my SG 42mm will arrive between 24/04 and 08/05. Still on processing despite order confirmation at 08:03.

I accept that I can't expect delivery before 08/05 but Apple are not showing themselves well here at all. Their press comment earlier about customers receiving watches in order is complete nonsense. Many ordering the same watch as I have moved to the next stage whilst I haven't. That's very poor management. Leaves a sour taste, to be honest.

It's a watch, and not that important, but Apple should be careful about the comments they make.

Don't count yourself out on getting the watch Friday until 5pm/6pm tomorrow. It could still easily get dispatched tomorrow.
 
Anyone else with lloyds bank not been officially charged? My available funds is less than my balance but its been like that for a few days now so i don't know whether the money has actually been taken or not.
 
Scared to go to sleep now. I really don't want to receive that email!

Where is Francis to clear this all up? To put our minds at ease?

Argh!

Here are the facts about delivery.

1. If you are famous you already have your watch. Well done.

2. If you ordered the link or the SS with black sports strap, you are never getting an Apple Watch. Just give up and go Android.

3. If you ordered any other Apple Watch you are getting it on Friday. Unless you got the e-mail, in which case: Good news! It will arrive in time for Christmas.
 
I'm an optimist.

Yes I've had the email of death but it does say it will be delivered between the 24th April and 8th May.

It makes sense for those preparing to dispatch not receiving emails as they would have had an email update already.

This email does not say it won't be delivered on the 24th.

I live in hope and won't accept I won't get mine on the 24th until I still see no movement after 17:00 tomorrow.

Haha love it!
 
Just checked and I received my iPhone 6plus dispatch email on the Wednesday night before getting it on launch day (Friday). Any cause for concern?

I like your thinking!

4. If you've got no news at all on your order, it's been lost in cyber space. No watch for you.

OMG!!!

Why are you saying these things???

Have I hurt you in some way???

I have received ZERO e-mails from Apple.

If I don't get my watch on Friday I will set myself on fire in my nearest Apple Store.

I'm on preparing to dispatch and not received an email to tell me that its moved status.

The email is only sent when the product dispatches.

I've just lit a candle for you. Francis would be proud of your positive mental attitude.
 
I have a source who works at a very high level in Apple. He's just told me that if you make the 4,000th post to this thread you will get an Apple Watch on Friday, even if you don't actually want one.
