I feel like if we :03/04 people don't get watches this friday we will for sure get them next week. It looks like we are next in line after the :01/02 people
 
The fact that the tracking says the label was created on 4/23 tells me that we all have two more days to get in on the launch day deliveries. If it's next day air nothing has to move until Thursday really.

I agree. Let's hope we're right!
 
I'm still holding out hope that anyone with the 4/24-5/8 delivery window will get it launch day. Maybe it's just wishful thinking (42mm SG Sport Back Band 12:03AM No CC Charge / Processing) but I've been through these enough to know that usually those who think they're doomed usually wake up Friday morning to a UPS page full of history and delivery later that day. Heck, I've even remember the stories from old iPhone threads where users said they went to bed with no movement and UPS came Friday like normal.

Of course I'm getting concerned, but I won't start to "really" panic until no movement tomorrow night. Here's to hoping tomorrow is our day!
 
Apologies if this has been asked a lot here, I've mainly been on the UK forum, has anyone had money taken or pending for the 38mm space grey sport?.. Nobody in the UK thread seems to, but plenty of the 42mm space grey sport's have had money taken..

I have not seen ANY reports of 38 Space Grey Sport being charged or move to preparing WORLDWIDE. Either they will all get done in a batch in the next 48 hours or there are essentially ZERO of them available at launch.

I'm with you on this. Let's hope for the best tomorrow!

Ordered at 8:03 (2minutes in), was so sure I'd get one for launch. Can't decide if no one being charged is a good thing or really bad thing.. maybe somebody at apple forgot to put the order in to make any of them..

Edit: have just noticed that I can't edit my address or credit card information, hopefully this is a good sign..

I was so sure too (my order was a minute ahead of yours).

Until I saw the availability of 38 SG Sport drop to 4-6 weeks within a few minutes.

Then I sort of panicked and decided to order a White/Silver Sport also as backup since I'm leaving on a 17 day overseas trip on 4/30 and really want the watch for the trip. That one has been charged to my card and is preparing for shipment even though it was ordered 20 minutes later.
 
Time of your email confirmation, and when did it change to preparing for shipment?

Edit: sorry, but are SG orderers after :03/:04 seeing their order status actually change tonight?

Still have a stuck 42mm SG, email timestamp :04, 4/24 delivery window (just confirmed the window in Apple Store app).

Received 12:02. No shipping email yet or tracking number. The extra charger I ordered that night is shipping and expected thursday.
 
Illinois USA - 42mm SG 12:03amConfirmation STILL PROCCESSING after being charged to my CC 24hrs ago. My bank app says I was charged on "4/23" which is in the future...so does this mean THAT'S when it'll be shipped and it'll go from a "pre-authorization/pending" charge to an actual complete "money has been removed" charge?? I sure hope so!!

That's reinsuring.
Looks like the 42mm SG is "pre-shipped" in the different warehouses through the world. So my guess is : no movement until tonight ➞ Preparing for shipment.
Then tomorrow ➞ Shipped with delivery next day.

Please let me be right. I'm in the 09:03 confirmation email, for a 42mm SG (France).
I've already been charged for a 09:09 38mm Siver sport with white band, but still processing.
 
I'm pulling the eject handle on the madness for the next 24 hours. Way too much going on and frankly, it's making me semi-crazy at this point, especially when I see "second wave" orders moving from Processing to Preparing to ship. We're taking the kids on their first Disneyland trip on 4/28, so if it doesn't show by the evening of 4/27, I'm SOL. Really looking forward to DLand, though.

42mm Space Grey, Black Sport Band, confirmation email at 2:03:43 A.M. CST, San Antonio, TX. No charge on the card I used with Apple Pay.

Bleh.
