It looks like charges have stopped for the day and even the ones that went through have gone to Tuesday arrival dates.
I am an 04:36 in the initial window and have seen absolutely no activity!!!
I am getting quite discouraged at this point!

Just checked the actual tracking and it says Tuesday, even though my e-mail says Monday
Same here. Got shipment notification at 9:22AM with a 4/27 delivery date, but UPS is stating 4/28. Not too big a deal now that I know I will get it in a few days.
I feel the same. The excitement of getting something the very moment it's new, that's a big part of the earlier adopter's mindset. It's part of the unique pleasure. Now I don't really care when I get the watch. Odd. I think I've learnt something about myself from this experience.
Have fun with it like it's a sports game, but eventually someone has to win and the game will be over. Just enjoy it while it's happening.
Yeah, but that suggests I'm interested in when other people get the watch. I'm not. I have very little interest in other people.
I'm 3:17:26 42mm SG BSB, still processing, no charge, May 13-27 window. I assume I'm not getting my watch for several weeks now
If we're still stuck at 3:04:xx then yes, you're not.
I, like some other people have posted, really wonder what they were thinking with this launch. I think that they did something that looked "really good on paper" in terms of logistics and saving money, but resulted in a lot of things that just didn't make sense with an Apple launch.
I say that because I don't really think that any other product launch would be an issue with people not getting things on day one or with people who ordered after others in different parts of the country getting them first. But this is an Apple launch and people are actually tracking flights from the orient into Anchorage Alaska because they want to know exactly what is going on...so with that in mind, decisions that look good on paper or that "no one will ever know about" don't really fly here...
Maybe that is why so many people are blaming Angela. I honestly don't know who's fault some of these things are but they just don't fit with the usually smooth Apple experience.
In all honesty, it looks like everyone is going to get their watches much sooner than quoted, but that is a deterioration of the "Apple Way" despite it is an improvement on everyone else model, and that is why it doesn't work.
I guess people expect more of Apple and when they can't deliver, we get upset.

Mine is in transit now as well. UPS tracking page says Scheduled Delivery Information is unavailable. Mychoice is still saying Tuesday EOD.
Debating changing to hold for pickup to maybe freeze it at the CC on Monday?
Me too. At first I was disappointed, but now i'm kinda meh on when I get it. I think that's also reflected in the mindset of those who canceled their orders when they couldn't get them the first day. It is rather interesting.
Yep. In recent years Apple have created their own launch day phenomenon. It's a distinct characteristic of their brand. The Apple Watch, with it's multitude of variables, tested that phenomenon more than any of their products before it. Apple will learn from this. It'll be very interesting to see how their launch model evolves in the next few years.
I am in the same boat. Since I didnt receive mine or wont receive my AW in the first week or two, I dont really care when I get it. I am even thinking of selling both of them when I get it and wait for v2 or just wait until I can pick one up in a store.
Just lost the momentum.
Waning Anticipation
Those are my sentiments, exactly. I'm definitely not as excited as I was when I thought I was getting my Watch on or about 4/24. However, I still don't regret trying to get into the Apple Store (Online/App) as soon as it would allow me in. Because if I hadn't I'd be in one of those delivery windows after May

I am pretty sure those aren't the UPS planes. If you go to the site now. flight aware.com/live/iphone6 there are 2 planes in route.

I received my confirmation email at 3:23:28 AM EST on April 10th. I'm in New York. I paid by credit card directly on the apple website. I ordered the 42mm Space Gray with Black Sports Band. Judging from how slow the shipping is going it looks like I probably won't get it any time soon? My estimated ship date is June. Processing, No charge.

42mm 00:05.56 still processing. I'm actually considering dropping $1,000 on eBay to get it, overnight shipping. Sounds crazy, I know.
The thing is, I probably would pay that much if it were Apple selling it. Wish they allowed us to pay extra to move ahead in the line. Sucks that scalpers are making money off of the high demand, and not Apple.
