Gave in and called the bank (First Direct).

38mm sports w/ green strap (£299) - charged
42mm sports space grey (£349) - not charged

Both orders confirmed 08:04 for 24/04 - 08/05.

They did say it was a live system and could update at any time, but looks like my wife's getting hers before me!

42mm Space Grey sport charged to santander - order confirmation at 08:02:08

38mm SS with black sport band - not charged! ordered at 08:12 [Paid with halifax and AS Gift Card]
 
I get that, but do Apple only charge as they are sending out?


It's normally been the case yes. But it seems lots of people with June deliveries are getting charged. Either they now have enough stock or they are just taking payments a bit more ahead of time than they are use to. Hopefully it's the former.
 
A little homework for the thread.

Before your Watch ships, go to your order, click on Add Free Gift Message, and write a poem about one of the following:

1. Spicy pork salad
2. The hero that is jrobert
3. Francis' love life
4. Something else of your choosing

Then post your poem for all to see.

Hop to it!


Done, it's more of a statement than a poem.
 
My payment for my 42mm Sport with White band (confirmation 8:03) has been taken but like everyone else the Apple Store hasn't updated.

However one thing I have noticed is that I cannot access any of my orders within the app and haven't been able to do so since pre-order day. Has this happened to anyone else? I've tried deleting and re-installing the app, signing out etc. I'm relying entirely on the website at the moment.

Did the payment show up online? My payment has not been taken yet, I'm using the First Direct app
 
My 4 x sport silver with white band have been charged to my 2 credit cards. Will notify the three buyers that they will be with me Friday.

Email confirmations received at 8.07 and 8.09

Essentially had mine for £0. Can't wait to see these Friday!

Brilliant...

Just phoned Lloyds, they've had no contact from Apple about taking the funds, I'm not getting my watch on Friday :(
