Got charged overnight, now preparing for dispatch. Black leather loop, medium, ordered 15/4, estimated delivery 22-28/5. Band only though, but hopefully it means a big batch of watches is on its way! Good luck everyone...

My blue leather loop band in medium was charged overnight and is now preparing for dispatch :)
 
Was charged yesterday, can't remember what time, but i quickly checked my order with apple online and it had changed to PFD although id hadn't received an email to tell me my order had changed like previously. This morning it had changed to dispatched and the tracking number says its out for delivery today. Although I feel sorry for the driver as its apparently coming from Hinckley, Leics which is about a 2 hour drive from me.

My watch is a SG42 with BSB and i had my confirmation email about 11:30 on the first day of preorders so apple are making way through them eventually, it's just been a long long wait for this and I'm sure everyones will arrive eventually.
 
I just can not grasp that Apple is shipping out an entire plane full of bands. I strongly believe that they are stockpiling to be able to ship out a load of watches that have their dates set to 17-24 of June. I'm expecting my 42AWSSML to be shipped out between 7-14th of June even though my placeholder date says 26 June - 2 July. 4-5 weeks from 10th of May isn't 26 June...

Apple probably don't have 100% of the planes capacity.
They do have other products they need imported too (MacBook Pro's received an update last week)
Their Sapphire factory caught fire yesterday, so that might slow things down in the next few weeks / months.

I have my fingers crossed for early delivery too.
 
I ordered a 38mm Silver Sport with White Band last Thursday, 21st, in store.

I still wasn't fully decided on whether I wanted one, so I ordered one with the expected delivery date at the end of June. Giving me plenty of time to cancel if I decided I did not want it. Over the weekend I did some thinking and decided I would cancel the order, didn't have sufficent phone signal to do it there and then so I had to wait.

Long story short, with a busy weekend and bank holiday, I forgot to cancel it and it got DESPATCHED last night! 3/4 weeks early.

Annoying, because of the original estimate I used my work shipping address, I work at a school and its half term, it delivers today so no one there to get it and I don't fancy sitting around for 10 hours outside waiting!
 
yep...finally med blue leather loop ordered 6th May preparing for dispatch...nothing on my watch though
 
I'm just about ready to give up :(

Day one 18:05 confirmation in UK for 42mm SG BSB and still nothing other than delivery estimate 27th May - 9th June

Dying a slow death here Apple !!!!
 
Well at least Samuel l Jackson got his sequel to snakes on the plane

Haha!! I bet that he could make that film and have it released before we get our Watches.

I feel your pain and am hoping you get your watch mega quickly.
 
This 'want' desire is turning into something of an obsessions.

Anyone else with the Apple status page open 24/7 in a tab, refreshing every half hour?

Just closed the tab. Won't open it until I get dispatch notification. But I already have an Apple Watch so it probably doesn't bother me as much as you guys who are still waiting. I feel your pain though. Hang in there. It won't be long like I said previously. I think Apple is stockpiling to have all orders shipped out at least a couple of weeks before they open up store-sales.
 
I ordered a black leather loop this morning ( band only ). It is now PFD and I have been charged. Things must be starting to move a bit easier now. Hopefully all you chaps still waiting for your watches, should not be long now.
 
My 42mm Space Grey arrived at 08:30 this morning. Went from processing>preparing for dispatch>dispatched yesterday. Ordered on the 10th at 11:40am.
