Status update.

The 42mm Blue my wife ordered is now preparing for shipment. Just happened. This was ordered at 1:09 PM today.

What??!? I ordered a 42mm blue yesterday around 6pm and it is just processing still...I don't get it.
 
I know this is for the 38mm blue sport, but I ordered the 38mm green sport TODAY at around noon and low and behold it charged me and says preparing for shipment as of 10 PM!!!!

Guys, do like I did and order blue, green, and white. Just be very careful and cancel the rest when you see a charge on one of them.

Congrats buddy! I know you're not in Canada. I still have a 42mm WSB preordered on 4/22 so I kept that one. I canceled my white 32 and just entered the "lottery" for a 38 green. We'll see this time.

Done.

Wasn't there something about a 2-per-customer limit though? Or was that just when it was pre-orders?

Hey, can you please confirm you are not from Canada?
 
Can anyone from the UK confirm that this has worked for them? Decided to take the plunge last night after reading this thread but no movement so far. Are orders likely to change status over the weekend?
 
Because I am extremely impatient.
I jumped the gun and ordered a 42mm Blue sports band watch today. I got the email that my order is being processed at 5:49pm
I also have a 42mm SG Black sport watch that is still being processed, which i ordered 4/10 at 12:46am PST. (the site kept crashing on me and i gave up and then decided to try and order anyway)

We will see who wins, and who gets canceled.
hopefully they dont both go through or ill be broke! Fingers crossed guys and gals!

Don't want to disappoint you, but this thread was proving a point that 38 mm blue watch ships fast, not 42mm. However, you probably still can cancel 42 and order 38 mm blue one.

No, no - absolutely no problem, just wanted to be sure if you understood that it was 38mm that worked for most..

On contrary, it sounds interesting if 42 blue would ship fast for you!

It's a gamble! By reading this entire thread, I'm taking a chance on 42mm. my giant wrists would make the 38 looks so childish or else I would have gone that route. lol
 
This still hasn't worked for me, though I did finally get movement on my 38mm Space Gray, which I am told to expect Monday. Unless I also get notice on this one over the weekend, I will probably cancel it and be content with the SG. I can always get a different band if it ends up looking too boring on my wrist.
 
What has the verdict been about AppleCare being charged? I ordered a Blue 42 yesterday afternoon and noticed that Applecare has charged overnight. No other changes yet.

Update:

Status changed to shipped overnight, UPS a tracking number assigned but still not in system. Per Apple email, delivery Apr 29. Once tracking number becomes active I will compare to Apple delivery estimate.

I cancelled my order for the mythical unicorn that is the 38mm pink sport band.
 
Yes, i know this is for the 38mm, but I ordered a 42mm this morning and got charged for apple care immediately. Ordered a white on Thursday and no charge still.

hmmmmm
 
Since yesterday morning, my watch is status "Shipped", and although this morning the UPS number is finally active, on the UPS website it still only shows as "Order Processed: Ready for UPS", and it has no delivery date unknown. I hope nothing is wrong. :(
