I want to mention one thing that in this order I have 2 watches first the SG 38mm with black sports band and another 42mm SS Black Sports Band.

Just got "preparing to ship" and charged credit card at ~2pm CST today (Saturday). My order was for a 38mm SG BSB and was XX:07:27 in the email header for order confirmation. Good luck to everyone else with their orders :)

I had ordered a 42mm SG BSB at XX:07:27 and still nothing.
 
You don't just 'allocate more servers' out of thin air. That costs A LOT of time and money. To spend millions (not an exaggeration as load during the launch window would be upwards of 100X normal) for the mere hour or so that everyone would hit the site is ridiculous. It's for the same reason they don't spin up hundreds of factories. What do you do with all that 'extra' equipment when the demand returns to normal levels?

Millions for Apple is like thousands for other companies. No, you don't just allocate servers out of thin air, but the cost for Apple would be small relatively speaking. They could lease the equipment and return it or they could buy it, write it off and have it to use during the big launches - apple watch, iPad and iPhone.
 
Boom!

Charged, and preparing to ship. :cool:

While I don't expect much for some time yet (my time is xx:08:36), I was wondering how far the orders scheduled for May 13-27 go (just for the 42 space gray). I figure if it people in the xx:12:xx range are still in May 13-27, then it could be a good signal that mine will either come early or at least near the beginning of that period. If it only goes to xx:09:xx, then probably a longer wait.

Can we get a separate thread for Space Gray orders? I feel like there is only a handful of people who have had their cards charged for a Space Gray. Can those of you who have been charged post your order details here so that we may try to make some sense of this?

Mod note: Please don't get trigger happy with this thread. I think there is a valid need for separate discussion for Space Gray orders based on the number of those who did not get charged today. Thanks!

I ordered a 42mm Space Gray Sport on 5/1/2015 in the morning. Processing July 2015 (year unknown)

:cool:
