And three seconds

Got my confirmation at 12:03:03 (Space Gray 42 mm) and still have not seen anything change anywhere. I am sure that most people who ordered within the first 5-8 minutes will all probably get the watch on Friday or Monday. (No basis for this claim just a gut feeling). Pretty sure that the SG watch was the most popular watch that Apple received orders for. So thats probably why we are seeing delays. I have seen many posts from the iPhone 6 preorders saying that some people didn't see any updates until the day before launch day. Hopefully this will all be figured out soon.

:):):)
 
I Ordered at Space Gray 42mm . Received email at 3:03am .. Still no charges or any charges .. Still Waiting
 
SG sports 42mm - 3:04 confirmed- still processing
Green sports 38mm - 3:04 confirmed- preparing for shipping

Come on apple ... :confused:
 
Still no 38mm SG Sports? Haven't seen a single one move to preparing yet.

I spent way too long messing around with the app and ended up ordering at 00:12 PT for the 4-6 week wave (5/21-6/2 in Canada). Still, the more units that go out now, the sooner mine moves up the list :)

I got 38mm SG and nothing changed yet. I haven't seen any 38 SG get prepared for shipping yet.
 
Are you lightly inferring that Apple is giving preference to Apple Pay users?

From what I gather, even Apple wouldn't know if you used Apple Pay to buy their product? I'm not clear on this.

I was just curious if that might be a correlation. But I think you're right, only the payment processor (Visa, Amex, etc.) would know if it was an ApplePay transaction.

Right, I haven't seen a single 38 SG Sport go to preparing yet at all. I ordered within 1 minute and got confirmation 12:02 with the 4/24-5/8 window and still no movement. Either they are batching and haven't gotten to 38 SGS's or they didn't make a you that combo for the first wave of orders!
 
38 SG with black band. ordered at XX:04 in Hawaii. Still processing as well. :( used Apple pay.
 
Someone in the other thread brought up an interesting point. It's possible that the watches that got charged today are those that are coming from China (less popular models). The more sought after models may already be in the states and are shipping from here so therefore would not have been charged yet. This includes SS / Black sport band and Space Gray sports.

Could be correct. Currently living in China, ordered 3:03pm GMT+8. No movement yet. Though I've already been charged, because in China you're charged immediately after ordering.
 
If my watch comes on the 8th I'm going to be kicking myself for not going SS. :mad:

Anyway, my SG 42mm ordered with Apple Pay is still processing. Confirmation email was sent 12:04:10AM, will be sent to San Diego. Weirdly enough I was charged for AC+ but the authorization for that fell off.
 
42mm :05 order confirmation. I'm screwed. Got up an hour before the preorder went live and refreshed the website relentlessly. Didn't realize the app users were getting a special exclusive presale until :04. Grabbed my phone and got it in. Too late.
For future reference, the Apple Store app always seems to work better. I ordered my iPhone 6 with the app while Apple Store website was still down.

I got onto the Apple store right away on the 10th and quickly ordered the Space Gray. However it came back due to a 10-year-old phone number listed as an alternate. After erasing, it says that number is optional. Optional? So why bug me with this now? (it's the card tied to my iTunes that I used to purchase the iPhone in September) So I click BUY again, and it says: Thank you! That'll be late-May for you! :(

It is possible that the Space Grays are being manufactured and assembled in Hawaii (the clue is the "space" material they use, lava, volcanoes, etc) and so they are still working (the time difference) and at end of day THEIR time there will be many watches shipped and happy Apple customers awaiting the Fed Ex man.

dude i think you figured it out
 
I'm in the same boat as everyone else (I'm in the UK).

My email confirmation for my Space Grey 42mm with AppleCare+ shows 8.03 am.

AC+ shows as "Dispatched: Automatically registered" if that helps?

The watch still shows "Processing Items Delivery: 24/4-8/5 by Standard Shipping", with nothing having appeared on my Amex card yet.

No help at all I know! :D
 
42mm SG Sport. Order placed at 12:01 PDT, confirmation at 12:02. Preparing for Shipment and charged today around 1PM PDT.

Los Angeles suburbs, CA.
 
I'm in NC, confirmation email at 3:03 for SG 42mm, couldn't get Apple Store app working till 3:02.
Still not charge and no change in shipment.......
I'm sorry but if those of us 2 minutes 'late' ordering can't get it on 4/24 it's just wrong, then again we all chose the most popular version.
Hoping for a charge today
 
I have yet to see one SG 38 change over. Anyone? Anyone?
My email time is 3:05 EDT, so I'm still hopeful!
