I used the Apple Store app as online it wasn't working. Had it saved already, hit the order button and had confirmation email at 1:03AM MDT. Still have a lot of hope. Still plenty of time to ship them out. You figure its only a 16 hour flight from China to the U.S. worst case lol. I will officially lose hope for Friday delivery on Thursday evening with no charge showing. Then its just a waiting game until 5/8. This is my first pre-order and although it's stressful it has been exciting and fun just watching and waiting.
Got a tip for us?

Still nothing here. Ordered at 3:01, email time sates 3:03.
42mm SG Black Sport Band still processing without a charge.
So frustrating.

Okay, I have a dumb question, too. I ordered from the app (which didn't come up for three minutes for me), but I had to enter my Apple ID password. I have a 5S. What have I squirreled up that it doesn't prompt for Touch ID instead? That cost me a bit of time because my password is somewhere along the lines of supercalifragilisticexpialidocious in length...
this cant be real...
mine has the original date and still processing ????
Hoping this may be real as I ordered at 12:03 and confirmation came in at 12:04:39. Order button stated 04/24-5/08, but email gave the later May time frame. If this is true then we should/will all be getting our orders by Friday. I figured I missed the first window by about 10-30 seconds...about the time I needed to make sure I had ordered the 42mm not the 38mm.
Hope so, that would move me up in the queue. The SG 38mm is exactly what I hoped it would be.
yeah, for me the window was 8 seconds...
my brother and I both pre-ordered 38mm SG Al Watch, his confirmation email came 2:04:43 CDT and mine came 2:04:51 CDT. He's in the first group (4/24-5/8) and I'm in the 2nd (5/13 - 5/27). 8 seconds... dang...
Nothing. Those that used Touch ID had Apple Pay. I had a 5S and had to cobble together my password with two thumbs and eyes that were blurry from a 2:58am alarm. Ugh. (P.S. Still no charge, processing, 3:04AM email confirmation, first group 4/24 - 5/8)
Shipping in June
I know its been said, but mine has a June shipping date and anxiously awaiting to see if that date gets moved up to May. I have some hope, but will have to wait and see.

I think Apple though the most popular would be black bands and pink, turns out pink wasn't. but I believe there are stock for all black bands and pink band watches already in the UK, US, etc as no one with these have had payment taken.
Apple has then shipped what has been need of the other combinations into the relevant countries as required.
For example why have 30,000 green strap watches sitting unsold in Germany when 15,000 might be need in the UK.
Apple have this sort of thing so tied down from years of doing preorders for phones they can use preorders to distribute based on stock needs.

Yeah, no kidding. Even more of a bummer when I have seen a couple people with later confirmations and ordering times and they have the earlier window. Weird how the system works. I'm still holding out, hoping for Friday, but not holding my breath for an earlier delivery than the later window.
Cant remember if I've posted before but i'm with y'all,
Confirm email at 12.04pst using chase credit and pay,

I'm in the same boat with you :/
Just curious, was ur confirmation email at 3:03? and were u charged today or yesterday?
42 mm Space Grey.
Confirmation: 12:04 AM.
Delivery Range: 5/13 - 5/27
Status: Processing Items / no charge
I had the former time frame of 4/24-5/8 till I actually hit the order button; then I was given the latter time frame.
Question: Do we know of a single person who was given the 5/13-5/27 time frame yet has now been charged and/or is now "preparing to ship"?

More data points: 4/24 - 5/08 space grey 42mm sports, California.
I believe 12:03 PDT, but my email was old and I never received a confirmation email - I update the associated email address since then.
My 0.02c worth is that, as reported, they had very little stock on hand. The US allocation of Space Grey 42mm sports version was likely blown through within 2 minutes. It was obviously going to sell out first - it's the best looking of the cheapest version - notably Apple placed it last on the viewing list.
I think those of us still waiting will probably be on the 2nd wave, coming next week. I think we have to suck it in and deal with it. It's only a "toy".
