We don't know but the Greys are very rare at this point. Only a few minutes after pre-orders started have been filled.
Got a tip for us?

No one knows for sure. Space Grey seems to be the most popular so you will definitely have more of a wait than say a Silver Sport with a blue band. There have been indications from Apple that the quoted times are exaggerated.
That's why the Greys only come out at night. They don't want people reporting them to the government.
You want reassurance? Call them and then come back on here................

there were no charges in the afternoon yesterday, though todays were earlier than yesterdays (and fewer) and yesterdays were earlier than Tuesday and Wednesdays charges. Maybe we'll see some more this evening.
My guess, is the trickle this morning is for Saturday delivery. We'll see another slew of charges tomorrow and Sunday for Monday's delivery.
I was under the impression that UPS automatically upgrades to Saturday delivery for Apple. Not arguing one way or the other, just what I've read here.

I just got off the phone with UPS and they have said that they will deliver on Saturdays ONLY if you are in a Saturday delivery area. Which apparently I am not so best of luck to the rest of you out there.
You are basing your whole logic on who hasn't or has gotten charged from a forum of people lol you're forgetting oh idk EVERYBODY else in the world lol I wouldn't rush to conclusions on what a few say and yes I know other websites have people saying **** to blah blah lol
Yes I have called ups and apple. Apple says yes they will deliver Saturdays. UPS says only to those who live in an area where Saturday delivery is available.

I don't think they will keep going with only 10 seconds of every minute each day going out bc I bet after the first 5 mins they are less orders every min bc either they shipping times went up and people decided on a different model or people that were having order issues like me bc I couldn't get the App Store to add my gift card, which is a lession learned for me to just add the gift card later, I think that most orders were in the first 5 mins and once through those the time ppl ordered will go up fast on shipping just a thought

I just talked to apple and they said there will be no Saturday deliveries so.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who do we believe?
Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Come on update some tracking already.
Still no movement, no charge in my 42mm SG w/ black sport band. 4/10 3:04am EST order. EOD on Weds.
Just would like to see some sort of movement! Maybe tonight with these planes coming in.

So I asked the online chat whether new watches will be shipping from China like they typically do for iPhone releases or warehouses in the US. I wasn't expecting much of a response, but I amazingly got what appears to be an actually real and straightforward answer.
"Correct, we are shipping from our warehouses in the US. Yours will actually ship from Pennsylvania. Once it ships you will receive it the next business day!"
So I guess I will have to start monitoring UPS planes going from Anchorage to Philly. 😉

I hope so, for your sake!
If this weeks trends stay consistent, it looks like charges happen as any planes are making their way over the pacific, and traffic comes as they're wheels up out of anchorage.
This could be causation, or correlation, no one really knows...
But if this stays true, it means all cards that are going to be charged have been charged today =/
Stayposi!

wtf. maybe i just keep trying.
Yikes, just cancelled my 38mm sg black band sport scheduled for 5/13-5/27 and ordered the 42 mm version because I was afraid the screen will be too small. Well now I'm in the June group. Hopefully it won't really be that long.
This is all just a theory so please don't grill me if you don't agree. Just ignore me if you don't agree. If anything, I'm just trying to make sense of the shipping times. This applies to U.S. orders only for the 42 mm space grey sport. If you were in the six minute range and you already got charged, or if you were in the 1 minute range and you haven't been charged, then it's likely your mail server time was off.
Here's my guess of when orders will be processed.
Confirmation received
xx:03:50 to xx:04:00 Will prepare for shipping on 25-Apr
xx:04:00 to xx:04:10 Will prepare for shipping on 26-Apr
xx:04:10 to xx:04:20 Will prepare for shipping on 27-Apr
xx:04:20 to xx:04:30 Will prepare for shipping on 28-Apr
xx:04:30 to xx:04:40 Will prepare for shipping on 29-Apr
xx:04:40 to xx:04:50 Will prepare for shipping on 30-Apr
The 10 second increment fulfillment rate might not apply past this point.
xx:04:50 to xx:05:00 Will prepare for shipping on 1-May
xx:05:00 to xx:05:10 Will prepare for shipping on 2-May
xx:05:10 to xx:05:20 Will prepare for shipping on 3-May
xx:05:20 to xx:05:30 Will prepare for shipping on 4-May
xx:05:30 to xx:05:40 Will prepare for shipping on 5-May
xx:05:40 to xx:05:50 Will prepare for shipping on 6-May
xx:05:50 to xx:06:00 Will prepare for shipping on 7-May
"xx:04:40 to xx:04:50" is what I believe to be the window of time where orders went from a "4/24 - 5/8" delivery to a mid-May delivery. My guess is that the rate of online pre-orders waned off around this time and so the 10 second increment per day estimate no longer applies past this point. Folks in this confirmation time range and after came in at the tail end of pre-order craze so by 1-May Apple might be processing at a faster rate than 10 second increments per day. Maybe something more like 30-40 second increments per day.

So I just contacted Apple support and they said the time they had was 12:01:37... Earlier than I though, still no watch though. Here's hoping for Saturday delivery!
edit: My watch is also still processing, so don't feel too bad guys

Ha Ha welcome to the club... I ordered on April 10 at 3:03am and still haven't gotten any notification for the 42mm Space Gray. You ordered today... so Yup June sounds about correct.

Holy crap, you're right!
Looks like another PA for me too. I'd watch out for flights from Anchorage to PA as well as flights from Memphis to PA maybe? Thanks for posting this, I'm glad that my Apple Watch actually exists!
