Wow I'm starting to get tons of updates for my Apps or in relation to Apple watch. It feels like the release of a major iOS update.

Boy would it suck right now to get those updates if you ain't planning on getting one.
 
I paid using a Tesco credit card, just amended the alerts to message me when the balance goes above £300. However I reckon I will have checked the account before that alert even reaches me lol
 
I was speaking to a rep for Apple today (nobody who works for retail or the specialists online) and apparently they're shipping them in bulk to the UK tonight, we should start to see our order statuses change tomorrow after dinner time.

I don't know how sure he was but he seemed pretty sure as he's ordered one himsef
 
I'm sure glad there are enough Brits on here to not feel as if I'm stuck in a mire of people getting shipping notifications. As has been pointed out before, it's very surreal resenting money remaining in an account.

Thankfully we all logically know that changes won't happen at 22:00, given our banking institutions. Hopefully we'll all wake up happy :)

That would tally with shipments reaching the US today, makes sense for them to reach our hallowed shores several hours after they hit mainland US.
 
So have none of us from the UK been charged yet? I keep seeing people with 'preparing for shipment' on other forums and can't help feel a tad jealous!

Yeah, I'm hoping so, apparently they'd had certain models stockpiled by using the favourites feature in the App Store app and they've been trailing it for future releases?! If a certain person had the favourite for X amount of Time they'd produce one
 
I doubt we'll see anything in terms of movement till later on Wednesday. Don't get me wrong, still gonna call up which ever courier has my parcel and chance picking it up early....!

I'm not too sure about that. The one I don't understand is the 38mm ss Classic buckle. It was available for the first batch shipping until lunch time Saturday. Was there high a volume of watches made or low interest?
 
Let's post status updates for UK

Status: Processing
Ordered: 8:03
Model: Sport SG 42mm
Bank: first direct
Charged: No
 
It's like waiting for Santa

Status: Processing
Ordered: 8:03
Model: SS classic buckle 42mm
Bank: Santander
Charged: No
 
Just so you know the time your order went through apparently means jack. I've seen people get preparing for shipment when they ordered at 3:15EST

Hang in the UK peeps. It'll be our time tomorrow.


So the U.S. Gets it on launch and we may miss out because we're in a different country? Even if we ordered first? That's BS.
