OMG It's here! It's been at the concierge office for over an hour (way before window opened) and UK Mail's website only just updated!
Loving the watch, I have to say Apple put a lot of thought into the packaging. Its by far the must luxurious set up from Apple to date. Lovely box
I ordered the 42mm SS BSB. Not sure what the Apple Sport packaging is like

Its been said before but i don't think anything said by the online support people can be gospel
I was hopeful for movement on my order today but no such luck in total lack of watch denial
I've got it, I've set it up. Not sure what to do with it now. Waiting for someone to call or message! It's one of those things that you have to use to use, playing with it isn't enough.
God I'm jealous. I want mine.
Me too, can't believe I'm still stuck in damn Processing. Francis, where are you?

Guys, think Wednesday is now the earliest. The day of dispatch they never changed anybody's status from processing to preparing for dispatch and they never took anybody's money. So it is a three day cycle.
1. Authorise payment
2. Prepare to dispatch it
3. Delivery day
So no nothing new today or over weekend, expect Wednesday at earliest.
Didn't quite a few people have their cards charged and get dispatches yesterday. Also there's zero reason why they can't be dispatching them over a weekend. Courier companies work weekends. Heck some even deliver on Sundays
I'm moving house next week. I bet by changing the shipping address I slip further into oblivion.
Happy for those of you who had delivery. Despite ordering within minutes I am still at processing
Spoke to apple today. They were apologetic and said they were doing all they could but that demand for the ss with black band had been much greater than expected. The stupid thing about that is that I only choose than combo as it had one of the shortest delivery times!!!! I have stainless steel band on order as well. On the upside my extra charger has shipped! WTF
Oh well

I would hope that, seeing as the Americans seem to be getting updates today, they might at least send some watches over to the UK throughout the weekend and then prepare (and maybe dispatch) them on Monday. The key word is hope.
Mine was a 4 day cycle
1. Charge
2. Perpare to dispatch
3. Dispatch
4. Delivery
Some people had a 2 day cycle though:
1. Charge/preparing to dispatch/ dispatch
2. Delivery
So it maybe a bit earlier.
It's worth noting that the popularity of the combo might also be to do with people choosing it for the short shipping time...
I've the same order, in at 8:06 on the 10th, and I'm still in processing - but yes, got an extra charging cable just changed today to Shipping.
When the iPad launched mine arrived the afternoon *before* the official release date, so it swings both ways
Look forward to it when it arrives, and meantime all the best to those who have them.Don't get me wrong it's the best thing ever but it's a bit like chasing a girl, now if got it I really miss the chase lol

I think the popularity of the combo defiantly had a lot to do with it. When I went on line to order about 08.20 my first choice SS with pink modern buckle said June. My white sports watch however said April 24th when I put the order through at 08.24. It came up with a 24/4-08/5 delivery on the confirmation email. Apparently people that ordered just a few days ago were able to get their white sports watches for delivery today so it obviously wasn't that popular or Apple overestimated its popularity and made too much.
UK Mail delivery guy said he had hundreds of drops offs to do today and all apple watches. Said he was getting excited faces on every drop off he did.
