The people posting that they are 'genuinely getting annoyed now' are joking right? We're lucky we even get order statuses and banks that will tell us about pending charges. Any movement prior to delivery is a 'nice to have' and doesn't correlate to when your delivery will come anyway.

All this probing should be done with a light heart, not taken too seriously. The earliest you are allowed to be annoyed is on the 9th May if your watch still hasn't arrived.

You worrying about it is just as bad. MR can become a playground around launches.

No one is actually going mental over a watch. Anyway. We are British, if we are mad we wont act on it, just passive aggressivly post about it.
 
Also, my order of a 42mm Sport in Space Grey has now changed to Preparing for Shipment!

My order confirmation came through at 08:02 btw. Dunno if that means I ordered at 08:01, but it must be pretty close.
 
Can you test this and tell us whether you see shipping info?

Go to UPS, change to "Track by Reference", manually change the date from 4/21/2015 to 4/23/2015 (you have to type this, you can't choose via the graphic calendar), and use your phone number (no spaces) as the reference ID.

Sorry, no luck using that. If it is any hint, when I have ordered through Apple in the past to this address, they have used UK Mail as I don't think UPS serve my area.
 
This watch does need to hurry up and arrive though as I've done basically no work this week what with constantly checking apps and this forum!

One thing from my perspective - if I had never come on this forum and had a delivery scheduled for Friday, I wouldn't expect to see any delivery updates until the day before.
 
Mines preparing for dispatch too!!!

Watch: Black 42mm Sport

Order confirmation: 08:02:27

Charged: yesterday at 4PM

Woohooooo!!!!
 
My wife's watch has gone from processing to preparing for dispatch. My SS 42mm SS is still on processing with no funds taken.

And no... To all the people saying the SS is probably already in the country. Bollocks.
 
Sounds to me like the charging was triggered by an arrival scan at a dispatch centre and the status changes are being triggered here in the UK as that centre works through the orders this morning. Steady status changes would play to that theory.
