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.
 
Interesting I ordered at 12:03 and got my confirmation at 12:04. I got the May window. I double checked to make sure I had the 42mm. It cost me 4 weeks. Still holding out hope it will Prepare to Ship, but not holding my breath. My 42SS Milanese did prepare to ship with CC charged.
 
Glad there are more like me here. 38mm SG/Black Sport Band, 3:02, still processing
 
This is NUTS! There must have been a ton of orders for this!

This is further annoying because the servers were not working...I know it's nothing new but at least if I go to a store I can get in line and expect that whatever position I am in I will get a product if they have that many...In this case I can't even get in line without issues.....


GRRR!
 
For all we know a 747 could land at LAX tomorrow with 200,000 SG Sports to fill all our orders. It is only Monday after all.

Has anyone who had one shipped been able to do a reference lookup on UPS or Fedex using their phone number to check the origin?
 
Got order conformation at 3:02 am (EST)
42mm Space Grey AW Sport
Currently in "Preparing for Shipment" phase
Hopefully I'll wake up to a shipping/tracking number :D

Yeah. I had already prepared my watches in Favorites and used Apple Pay so the only thing holding me back was the fact that my Apple Store app didn't really start working until around 3:02EST.

Same here...I almost ordered the SS classic buckle too because I figured I would get it sooner...I guess I was right...
 
I'm in toronto and got a 42 mm SG... Order confirmed at 3:03 AM, got charged today around 6. Status: Preparing For Shipment :cool:

don't worry guys, i think this is just Apple's process this time around, they could have some Watches at local distribution centres ready to ship for those that are still processing....
 
It really doesn't make sense as to who is getting the priority here...is it people with orders at 01 and 02?

Mostly yes, and a few with :03 but not all. So the cutoff for this first wave must've been somewhere during :03 minute.
 
42mm SG Sport. Order Confirmation at 12:03 AM

Charged today and preparing to ship.

Delivers: 4/24-5/8 by Standard Shipping

xx:03 and nothing doing :(

It is what it is. It just means I'll be forced to continue to hammer Apple's site every 5 minutes for the next couple days (hopefully not weeks) making meaningless checks for delivery updates.
