Not sure how true this theory is, but for what its worth...my 42mm watch was processed finally this morning. Confirmation email time: 12:03:47.

You're basically confirming what I said. Thanks! If anyone else gets charged today please tell us your confirmation receipt time. The problem with some folks whose time is off is that their mail servers time might be off. you can configure a server to acquire the time from a dedicated worldwide time server/atomic clock but sysadmins don't always enable that feature and instead they define their own server's time.... after months/years, that time can be off by as much as a couple of minutes.
 
42mm SG

Order confirmed at :03 on 4/10

CC charged and status changed today to Preparing for Shipment 4/24-5/8

Delivery location NJ, USA
 
I just got an email an hour or so ago saying thank you for your order with the June ship date still BUT I got another one right after saying they updated my billing info on the order, these two emails are the only action Ive seen from apple since preorder date, so that's got to be a good sign right? They must mean they seen my order to update the billing info?

That's funny.... those emails are automatically triggered by Apple order management systems... no human beings are looking at your order

This is true but if you are using publicly hosted email servers like gmail, o365 etc then they are probably using pretty reliable NTP servers.
 
Seconds timestamp

How do you find the seconds for your email through Gmail? I remember seeing someone post it but I can't seem to find it now and I don't want to go through 113 pages haha

No No I know that lol I mean that there's some type of movement on this lmao look I haven't heard a peep from them till now when I saw those two emails.

Just do a chat with Apple to get the system time.

Alternatively, click the arrow on the message, click Show Original Message, and find Date: [xyz]

Yep. I got my time from hotmail by clicking "view email source" so I'm pretty confident my time is accurate. I don't know what email service people are using for folks who have a confirmation time of xx:01:xx to xx:02:xx and still haven't been charged. that seems wrong. they might just not be in the U.S.?
 
Ahh I found it.

I ordered my Sport 42mm Space Gray with Black Sport Band at 12:04:26 and I am still processing and my card hasn't been charged. I am also from Arizona if that matters to anyone about shipping areas.
 
Like the rest of us, you'll see it on May 13th, now relax and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I'm showing 00:03:18 as my order time for the 38 SG. No movement.

Also, in Gmail you can click on the down arrow next to the reply button and click the button that says "Text Garbled?" It will display the html of the email and show the exact time fyi
