Hey guys, happy for you all having movement, but could you please supply all the details so that us who are still waiting can compare!!

Also, are you guys who are getting out of processing hell getting charged before you notice the preparing for dispatch change?

Thanks in advance!!

What script? did you write it

Yeah, I'm a web developer. I wrote the script in Ruby. Here's a sanitised version with my order details removed:

Code:
require 'rubygems'
require 'mechanize'
require 'pony'

Pony.options = {
  :from => 'you@you.com',
  :via => :smtp,
  :via_options => {
    :address     => 'your-mailhost.you.com',
    :port     => '587',
    :enable_starttls_auto => true,
    :user_name     => 'mail-user-name',
    :password => 'mail-password',
    :authentication     => :login,
    :domain   => "localhost.localdomain"
  }
}

a = Mechanize.new
a.user_agent_alias = 'Mac Safari'
url = 'http://store.apple.com/go/uk/vieworder/APPLE_ORDER_NO/EMAIL_ADDRESS/'

status = 'Processing Items'
while status == 'Processing Items'
  page = a.get(url) rescue nil
  if page
    status = page.search('.h3 .strong')[0].text
    delivery = page.search('.h5 > .block')[0].text.strip.gsub(/\s+/, ' ')
    puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - #{status} - #{delivery}"
  else
    puts "#{Time.now.strftime('%H:%M:%S')} - Unable to contact Apple Store"  
  end
  sleep 300
end

Pony.mail(:to => 'you@you.com', subject: "Apple Store Order ", body: "Order status now: #{status}\n\n#{url}")

Might be of use to anyone who knows a bit of programming. Note the URL comes from the "Order Status" link in your original confirmation email.
Cheers,
Craig.

Yeah I noticed my watch was incorrectly listed as a 38mm on SODS now

I don't know why it keeps messing up. It isn't that hard to enter data into a spreadsheet without messing up other peoples

Honestly think it's google messing up. On safari at least it's crashing every minute, probably too many people editing at the same time
 
I saw an earlier post which suggested it was about 20 past 3 yesterday, and Friday's action kicked-off around 4pm...

Keep the faith and keep praying to Francis...

Our Francis thou art in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
your orders will be done,
In the UK as it is in the U.S.
Give us today our daily delivery of Apple Watches.
Forgive us our moans and groans,
as we forgive those who received their watches before us.
Lead us not into temptation (e.g. Pebble or MS Band)
but deliver us from processing hell.
For thy is the kingdom,
the power and the glory.
Now and for ever we'll love our Apple Watch.
Amen.

It worked ########
 
Got my watch a few hours ago and its sitting happy on my wrist.;)

So glad a bunch of you are getting charged and movement today, with a possible delivery for tomorrow. :)
 
lol, my 42mm AWS with White band which was my third order which I ordered on the 25th is preparing for dispatch! Payment been taken also.
 
Someone asked for a screenshot - it was more of a hassle than I'd realised!
Anyways ... Had email from apple now confirming delivery for tomorrow!
Still holding breath!

My 42mm sport in space grey has changed to preparing to dispatch!

Ordered at 8:05:12 with a 12-26 May delivery date.

My wifes 38 is still processing.

Those that have had it delivered - how long after changing to preparing for despatch did you get tracking details?
 
Seems like there's a bit more movement on the later 38mm orders. Fingers crossed I'll see some 38 SS WSB movement soon!

How long ago did it change? I'm 5 seconds after you
