I believe you might be right. Also, Apple doesn't even know when people receive their order confirmation email — they have to be using a different number internally (and we can only speculate what that might be).

I checked that, and though Apple gave me an alarming different time of order from the one on the email initially (11:23 instead of 09:17!) they then wrote back and said they had made a mistake, and that in their internal system the order time was the same as the one in the email. They emphasised that I had to be patient, and ironically it was just after that that my card was debited!!
 
so i placed an order on the 23rd for a 42mm SG and even though i canceled the order apple just tried to charge my paypal credit for it sometime in the night. reordered on the 29th using apple credit (barclaycard) hopefully i am not too much longer.
 
Right here with you. I'm wondering if people that reached out to Apple somehow got their orders bumped up earlier.

I did fleetingly wonder that when my card was charged shortly after an email exchange with an Apple employee (to check the exact order time recorded), but honestly I don't see how they could intervene in concrete terms... I think it was pure coincidence.

Duplicating what I posted in the 38 SG thread:

Good luck to everyone still waiting for your watch; just be patient! Ordered at 3:04:54. Charged at 4am yesterday. Requested UPS to hold my watch at a local UPS customer service center for pickup today and it is now available for pickup.

It's been fun tracking the watch!

Go Capitals!

Wow, doesn't look like any watches made it over in the latest shipment. There's a plane about to land in KY in 10min, maybe by some strange logistical nightmare they threw all the watches on that one :(

BTW, ordered an additional watch this morning. Been eyeing and liking the SS 42mm milanese.

Yeah, just popped into that thread. They're still on 4/10 00:10 so I've got a LONG ways to go for that one. Being at 00:05:55 for the 42mm SG sport I can't help but check in on this thread daily (more like hourly lol).

Lol. My frustration is in the fact that folks that can go to LA are able to pick these up with about a day turn around.
 
Since I've been obsessively checking this thread for the past week.... Might as well join the party.

I ordered the Milanese loop to go with my SG 42mm after seeing it on an SG at the Apple Store. Believe it or not, it looks really good with the SG and dresses it up amazingly. I didn't think it would be a good look until the Apple expert showed it to me. It'll be June before I see it on my wrist.
 
As of now:

42mm Sport - Space Gray
Order time: XX:05:46 (confirmed by Apple)
Confirmation email: XX:05:50
Location: Minneapolis, MN
Estimate: May 13-27

Still processing, no charge.

Here's a link to a site that illustrates my point AND shows the SG with other bands: http://smartwatch.me/t/heres-over-100-photos-of-apple-watch-combinations-colors-and-sizes/884

There's a thread here that showed the two together. Didn't really like how the ends of the band clips into the watch. I was originally going to order a couple leather bands for more formal events (along with an extra charger), but decided to spend a bit extra and get the milanese unit as it looks better with the SS watch.
