Any 38mm SS black sport bands confirmed yet? The wait is painful...particularly as I ordered the fiancée a 38mm Sport with white strap that has been taken from my Barclaycard already.
 
I've heard a bit of info. Don't know if it's legit, so take it or leave it.

  • Models preparing for shipment now are shipping from an international hub (probably Shenzhen).
  • Models still processing are shipping locally and will be dispatched nearer to launch, so as not to overload the distribution chain.

Fingers crossed. I live near the Tamworth hub so hopefully that's why mine is still processing then!
 
Hahaha :D Yeah can kinda see where you're coming from then Pal. I can't imagine many builders pulling off the Milanese (not suggesting you're a builder of course lol)


Haha nope! I used to be a carpenter/ joiner and an electrician though! Now I sit at a desk developing software
 
It certainly does and would make sense as it would take longer to send from China rather than metaphorically "just down the road." Hopefully that would explain why it seems like half of us haven't been charged or seen movement in our orders... provided that information was correct in the first place.

Definitely, or I'm just hoping it's true because I've seen no movement.

42 sport white here. 8:02. credit card charged, but still processing.

Now's the part where I try and stay chill that someone else at 8:12 with the same watch has moved on to preparing for dispatch!
 
You ordered at 22 minutes past?!? I wish (among many I know) mine was preparing for dispatch. 08:04 here :(

Was up at 8 waiting for the Space Grey but in the time it took to put in my basket, the shipping times had already slipped. Didn't want to wait and ended up spending a fair of time deliberating over which other model to go for. Then had to change the card on the account… Yeah, I'm lucky.

Good sign for for others who ordered before though.

Exactly the same as you. 42 sport white, 8:02, credit card charged, still processing.

That'll be me :) still processing, unfortunately. Bank account charged though
 
Is it that all you guys who are seeing updates on your order status banks process payments quicker? Are they still pending or are they completed transactions and now apple has collected your money?
 
Guys chill. The one's that say 'Preparing for Shipment' now in the UK are being shipped from Asia in the next 24 hours. They should have ordered from 8:04am onwards. The first batch goes to 08:01-08:03am whose watches are at Syncreon in Leicester, These will still say Processing but should have had cards charged.

Very lucky :)

You never know, I'm might wake up and the status has changed.
