Except no guarantees that they're carrying any Apple watches. They'll likely have some, but last few shipments didn't indicate many based on these forums.
Hahaha i think we all lost our sanity checking and waiting everyday for something besides "processing" but hopefully we'll see some major movement this upcoming week!
Wow, screw UPS. It was on truck for delivery, I waited at home for it.
It never showed up so I called around 9PM, now its magically scheduled for delivery on Monday. They stated it never made it on the truck, even though the tracking says otherwise... They refuse to do anything about it.

Least you know it's near by. For all I know, my 00:05:55 is still waiting to be assembled in China :-(
I'm 1 second behind you but in NJ, hopefully this upcoming week we get lucky!
So to sum up basically what I've gathered from this forum....The watches are built and packaged in China then put on a UPS plane. From there, they travel to the USA then once they arrive here we are charged for them then they are distributed across the country. Is this correct? I'm just wondering as an impatient geek. 
There is every night. It is a regular run for all these aircraft but they aren't all watches. One 747 could carry nearly a quarter-million watches. If 7 planes a day were watches nobody would be waiting. Plus each flight originates from various places in China and only one would be the shipping point for Watches.

To be honest there is a lot of inconsistency in the precise experience and it varies by location.
I'm in Canada. Our Pre-auth hit the CC the day it went to ship. I believe this to be when it leaves the factory. For my Blue Sport that was a Friday. The watch arrived Tuesday and the charge id not go through my card until the day it was delivered.
Your own experience may vary.
Good luck everyone tonight. I've had a long day and am off to bed. Seeing as I fly out Sunday, doesn't help me if I get charged overnight, but hope some of you can get your watches early next week.
Lol! Damn we're both bad because my girlfriend thinks I'm crazy and also gives me the crazy look too, but soon enough she'll see why and ill convert her!
Lol I've been doing the same thing. Hitting refresh every few minutes hoping that the xx:07s for 42mm start shipping.
At this point I'm just sick of seeing: Processing, available to ship: June. I just want a date range or something to change. It's been stuck on that page for nearly a month now (that's actually sad to think about lol)
Haha yeah...I had a semi-humorous convo with an Apple rep this past Monday on the phone asking if they could please charge me for my watch even though I understand it's not ready to ship. I just really hate having over $500 of excessive funds in my account. In any case he politely checked with some supervisors and laughed saying 'I'm sorry sir...Apple won't take your money, yet'
So awesome! I have been keeping my obsessive refreshing hidden as a private shame. It's like I am leading a secret double life.
