Same here almost - I ordered at around 1:50pm on launch day. Just checked and it's still processing. Same delivery dates. I'm really hoping the status will change later today and it will arrive tomorrow....but I have a feeling it might not. 🙁
Oh sweet - here is hoping 😀 I want it now so bad lol
Annoying as CEX and Gametronics down road form me have it in stock but they want £700+ for the SS 42MM with BSB lol.
Surly they must of know how little stock they had so why on earth did they allow pre orders like this? It should of just been allocated to the stores and make an appointment to try on and buy. There are a lot of unhappy people out there and they still havent fulfilled the first day yet
Im not defending Apple cos ive been waiting almost 6 weeks for my watch...
But maybe Apple underestimated demand.. They maybe felt it wont kick off as fast as this, maybe comparing sales of galaxy watches and others which i dont think have sold as well as this? Might be wrong!!
Also Apple are using a JIT( just in time) manufacturing so for each order they are making smartwatches.. But come gen 2 and gen 3, they might produce millions so that we dont have this mess again!!
iPhones on other hand are thier bread and butter so iPhone 6+S/ 6S will go into mnaufacture by July/ August and millions produced and by September all pre orders filled and enough stock in stores too.
I think Apple just heavily underestimated this launch big time!! Started off available 24th then they changed the wording.
iPhones are normally ready to buy at stores by October walk in!!
I ordered after you at 2:06pm and I was charged last Thursday! Still processing though, so I don't know whether its likely i'll receive tomorrow 🙁.
I have seen people get charged and go to dispatch within the same few hours, so there is hope I guess..
Totally understand where you are coming from, but the fact orders are still on going and other people getting there orders ahead of other people is a farce. Some people from the 10th are still waiting for there watch and other people who orderd the same watch on the same day but later on have theres. Its just a bit unlike apple i suppose
I don't think there's anyone who ordered a the same model who has received it before somebody who placed an order before them unless it's in the same delivery window.
Nobody could have anticipated the overwhelming demand for the 42mm SG; but not to say it isn't a great launch but one that Apple will learn from as it's a new experience for them also.

This has happened. Happened to me and my partner. Received mine a week or so after somebody on here that ordered a week or two AFTER me.

Whilst we are lead to believe this is the case, I don't believe this is true. As an example, my 42 SS WSB that I ordered on 25/05 and delivered on 30/05 is a Week 14 device. 30/05 was Week 18, so my device was made end April/beginning May, almost 4 weeks previous.
There are a lot of similar cases across other threads on here. I was expecting them to be throwing them out the door whilst they were still warm, so like a Week 16 device for example.
It's in my signature, might not show up on mobile:
Apple Watch Sport 38mm Space Grey, 6th May. Current status; processing "Delivers: 09 Jun, 2015 - 15 Jun, 2015".

Anyone being charged or PFD etc please post model, date and time.
Im on mobile and cant see signatures!! It would be helpful for all of us to keep track of what model and when is being dispatched.

Last week my estimates changed in the mornings (between 10-12)
Others delivery notifications were recorded every two hours after that.
Yesterday the estimates update was at 10pm, so it would make sense to have a check at that time today, after than plane from Philly has landed.
Provided you don't hear anything before then of course.
Anyone waiting on a spare band? I have a milanese loop estimated 22-29 May but still processing. They say 1-2 weeks on store but I ordered 3 weeks ago now
