Me too SG 42mm sport, pending transaction had appeared with the same value as the watch. Shipping status is the same still but we're getting close!!

What am I missing here? Until close of play on Friday why wouldn't you think that your watch may arrive on Friday? No one has the first idea about what's happening until it happens. Surely you'd rather spend the next three days being optimistic than down in the dumps?



So in the words of Eric Idle, Always look on the bright side of life...


Well you'll know there's a good chance you're getting it Friday if the status changed to shipped by end of Thursday. If not, then it's much less likely... So only 2 days of optimism really....
 
You see the people who're posting about charges, are your charges coming through now or were they all in that block around 16:00?

Commas are your friend, it took me a few tries to actually understand what you said lol.
 
Just checked my credit card and have a pending transaction for the amount of the Apple Watch ordered. This was for the Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Milanese Loop, ordered within a few mins of pre-orders going live.
 
I ordered a 42mm sport with blue strap, confirmed at 08:04.

I've just contacted the Halifax and they have confirmed that I have a pending payment of £339 which was requested this afternoon.

I also ordered a charging cable on a separate order, but that hasn't been submitted for payment yet (delivery 24/4 - 29/4)

No change of status on the Apple website though.
 
What's grinding my gears is people who ordered when it 4-6 weeks are getting payment taken but I'm not!!!!

I booked a days holiday for nothing!
 
I think I've been charged! Called the automated banking helpline which is saying I've got approximately £500 less to spend that what my app says! I really hope so. Will call back later to speak to an advisor to see where the charge is coming from.
 
I ordered Sport SG 42mm with confirmation email at 08:04 delivering 23/4-8/5.

Haven't been charged yet.

Someone mentioned location may impact time of charge?

Am I right in thinking all Apple orders will come from a Tamworth hub and therefore as I'm central Birmingham this could be a reason why I could be charged later?

Has anyone been charged who lives in the Midlands?

Thanks
 
Apple Rep

Just had a conversation online with an apple rep who I'm hoping doesn't know what he's on about, saying watches won't be dispatched until the 24th. Im sure he's talking crap but the convo is attached.

He went on to say some might get it but it won't be many
 
you can really only be sure of one thing!

if the world media decide that Apple has not delivered as much watches as they thought, you can bet the press will be all over them! i predict WatchGate right now!!

:p

He clearly IS talking crap.

"and it only starts getting dispatched on the 24th so thats when you will be charged" either he's talking about one line in particular or he's full of it, because lots of people have been charged already.
 
just had it confirmed that I'm not getting mine on friday

sucks
