Yeahh mine was roughly at the same time... nothing from my end yet, I'm hoping it'll change over night
I still haven't been charged, though, nor have I had this supposed £1 transaction. Don't know what to think! I think I'll try and remain as level-headed as possible...
I don't think they have started scanning out these models from the UK warehouse yet. Probably tomorrow.
Aye, exact same time as me! 8:04 - 42 SS Milanese Loop for me. Nothing pending on account either, its like we've been overlooked... I just hope seeing as they're in the UK, we get the charge in the morning and can still make Friday! Otherwise i booked the day off for nothing!
This is all quite bizarre, but consistent with what others (in the know?) stated earlier i.e. that the earliest* orders will be dispatched from a UK warehouse (Hinckley) as late as Thursday for Friday delivery. Later* orders are shipping direct from China and some those have moved to "Preparing for dispatch".
*the cut off time for different models is different depending on how popular that model was i.e. 42mm grey sports models were the most popular so they have the earliest cut off.
My 42mm SS with Classic Buckle (8:02:17) is still processing but my Amex was charged £599 about 4pm.
First time I have NOT wanted "Preparing for dispatch" to show ASAP!

Ah I'm second wave, well hopefully I'm first wave but its not looking good! My estimate is 12-26 May, so wanted to track in coming flights which may have more
Watches?

Ohhh, sorry, i missed that.
Yea, I want my Space Grey 42 sport to change to preparing for shipment... I got charged, like, 7 hours ago!

I'm still clinging on I the fact I've been charged as a good sign.
We are in the same boat.
Im optimistic that as long as we're charged by late Thursday afternoon, a Friday delivery is still likely.
Thats my happy face, and Im sticking with it
Because carriers haven't got the resources to hold thousands of packages. They operate on a JIT basis.

Unlikely to be a bad sign,

They wouldn't charge you until they have a watch for you! Read the orders page on the apple website.
whats annoying me is that the 38mm ss with black band is only a 4-6 week wait (not june like most watches) and I still haven't been charged. I know I am due to get it before 4-6 weeks but it's still annoying that I could have ordered it 11 days later and only have to wait 2 weeks more.
Ordered two watches (separate orders) on launch day at approx 08:09/10
Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Milanese Loop
Apple Watch 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Black Classic
My amex is showing under Pending Transactions:
21 APR 2015 APPLE DISTRIBUTION INTERNATIONAL EMEA £599.99
However both are still showing Processing Items. I wonder which order that relates too.
Heres hoping its the Milanese Loop.
