Exactly, It hardly seems fair. I don't think another single UK order has seen any progress since launch day. I think UPS might be just as at fault here for their flight schedules to the UK.
The reason for the U.S. Having the shipments over the weekend is literally due to the customs clearing. We have minimal if any processing through of that at weekends. The U.S. Do have it. Apple can't control that, I can almost guarantee that we will see some movement tomorrow!
I understand that, it would just be nice to get charged and prepped ready for shipment tomorrow. I think under current circumstances we can expect earliest delivery at this stage being around Wednesday.

Yeah i get that,
I so want to get my watch, but i also get there are a lot of people that also want theres. I reckon we'll be there by the end of the week!

I think Tuesday is possible, it depends when they arrive in the UK tomorrow. If the couriers get them early enough then they can easily overnight them to any of the depots in the UK. Couriers work a lot quicker than you'd think!
Fresh wave of charges for Apple watch hitting the U.S at the moment for those who ordered in the XX:03/04 time mark
Yeah, true! I'm not getting my hopes up anymore. If there isn't order updates tonight (which at the minute seems almost conclusive) then I can't see any landing on our doorsteps for a good couple of days. We'll see

You see if this is the case, why can't Apple let us know about this? If there is some last minute manufacturing issue then we should be told and given the option to change.
The dates are still estimated without a firm commitment. Apple provide a link with your order which takes you to the following bookmark on their store help page.
Good afternoon all... Just catching up and 2 things strike me:
1. U.S. Had home field advantage with new stock, and
2. The BSB peeling thread... I hope this is not widespread... Would hate to wait all this time & then get defective materials
I have just had confirmation that there will be some Divine intervention tomorrow and that He will be on our side tomorrow.

Pretty much the same old stuff really
Are you saying you actually expect Apple, within less than 48 hours of launch, to have analysed enough customer reports to figure out what the problem might be, who is affected, work out what batches etc may be faulty, identify a solution, put that plan into place, liaise with PR and customer services, make an announcement, etc etc...?? and that's just from my very limited knowledge of how a company might go about this sort of thing.
They're not going to say anything to anyone until they know exactly what the problem is and what they're going to do about it. It is wishful thinking (to put it politely) to expect otherwise.
Also, Apple's only obligation to you is to deliver the watch within the timeframe given. Even if there was a problem, if they can resolve it and still get the watch to you within that window, they don't have to tell you squat.
You see this watch and all of the different models and variations have gone through manufacturing research and development for months. The issue, (if there even is one) should and will have been investigated by this point. All Apple products are put through rigorous testing way before Apple Watch was even announced. I fully understand that 48 hours to investigate a problem, go through all the troubleshooting processes and public annoncement isn't nearly enough time, I accept that.
You're assuming the issue (if there is one) is a design fault rather than a faulty batch.
That would explain the serious lack of black sport bands being dispatched, if the media gets a hold of these bands deteriorating like that in the space of 48 hours it will seriously damage Apples rep the fact they charge 39 quid for a band that falls a part in a day and put off a lot of potential customers so they have delayed the dispatch of anymore until the cane fix the problem, reports of one or two of these bands doing this is manageable but hundreds of thousands of customers complaining the media would have a field day and have a serious impact on Apple Watch sales
Yep, will be interesting to see this play out - the media will indeed go bonkers over it so it is a question of how widespread this is. Fingeres crossed they've already identified the bad batch/problem and are already sorting it.
I have been keepin a very close eye on the apple watch where it's goin and when it's getting shipped in each of the 9 launch countries on various forums and Activity on Twitter and am finding it very odd that the U.S and Canada has been receiving batches since Friday night with people being charged and notified of preparing for shipment through out the weekend , whereas it's been very quiet ....practically non existent since the initial round of charges and dispatches on the 22 nd and 23rd on this side of the pond with not much activity I hope they aren't re routing U.K deliveries to appease demand in the U.S although it wouldn't surprise me
