Charged as in they've taken payment? I had something tiny taken on the 10th when I ordered, but nothing after that.
Because the watches have longer journeys in the US compared to the UK.....
We might not see Tracking references until Thursday.
Hello all
Long time MacRumors reader and Mac user but first time poster here
.
I ordered my 38mm Apple Watch Sport with a white band on the 10th after trying it on first thing in the morning at the Trafford Centre in Manchester. I got a June dispatch date, which I thought I'd have to live with.
Anyway, mine is now preparing for dispatch (have attached an image). I'm wondering if this actually means anything. Don't want to get my hopes up (or anyone else's!).
Thoughts?

Does anyone here know what airlines/freight company Apple use to ship to the UK? I'm aware in the U.S its UPS/Fedex but what is it to the UK? Been trying to track flights in but can't figure it out as easily as you can the US flights with UPS?
Read it again, they state they work for apple
though the Twitter account is not an official account.
I guess it's still going to drive me mad until I know it's on it's way to me
Anyone with a 42 SS Milanese loop changed to preparing for despatch? I'm anxiously waiting on mine!! Got charged at 4pm

WTF. Ordered the same
Watch at 9:02, I've got a 24/4 - 8/5 delivery window, but still processing (Germany though). Hope it confirms, that I'll get my Watch on Friday, everything else would be a disgrace in my opinion

My thoughts are that you're bragging that you've had a June dispatch date but it's showing as preparing for dispatch earlier than expected.
Anybody else out there who is yet to be charged? Or just me?
I'm with you here! Still to be charged
very annoying that people who ordered months after are getting theirs prepared for shipment! Happy for them all though 
What time did you order your watch after your try on, i did the same as you in Newcastle! same watch as well
No! Don't mean to brag whatsoever! I'm just wondering whether to read anything into this or not. As much as I want my watch, I'm happy to wait until June if needs be.
Because they don't need to? Because there may be additional cost and impact on the carriers? Because it gives the carriers more opportunity to deliver them before the 24th, which Apple do not want?
Tons of reasons.
They're already in the UK, at least the first wave is.
It was at 9.15am in the store and then I ordered it while I was there. I then realised I was daft and should have just ordered it beforehand and if I didn't like it cancel the order.
Anybody else out there who is yet to be charged? Or just me?
I'm with you to dude, ordered at 0804 and still not be charged!
Yeahh mine was roughly at the same time... nothing from my end yet, I'm hoping it'll change over night

Yep ordered 08.03 (38' sports space grey). No money taken apart from immediate £1 authorisation but nothing since. No money taken or preparing for shipment.
