Good morning Australia!

After cancelling 2 of my 4 watches. Then ordering a third one which got cancelled by Apple this is my update from processing hell:

If I would have known all we had to do was play a little game to get it shipped we should have played a lot sooner. LOL. I'm thinking Wednesday. Think I can only handle so much excitement for one day and seeing my order finally prepare for shipment and delivered in the same day might just cause my head to explode.

Any change in your order yet??
 
does the status change from "Preparing to ship" to "Shipped" when they leave China, or when they make it into Anchorage?
 
Rant time...for all of us "post 4/10ers (I'm 4/12) with 'Available to ship: June' status; I wonder why Apple hasn't been able to pin down a more reasonable estimated delivery date - especially for those of us on the earlier side of the order spectrum? I mean, they should know how many orders are in the queue, how many units are being produced and shipped each day. Isn't it just simple math at this point? What else, other than an unplanned catastrophe, could cause such uncertainty? To spread my possible delivery date out over a 30-day period is a bit unnerving at this stage of the waiting game. There are peeps who ordered LAST WEEK who have the same delivery window as me. Cmon Apple - step it up a little.

Lots of great comradery here and I appreciate all the great information. I am a xx:07:20'er getting a bit closer every day. I must say I really need to get back to work but checking this site and my order status continually. Hopefully soon.
 
Can answer my own question .. my order went from preparing to ship, to shipped with a tracking number when the planes landed in alaska just now
 
So I'm sitting here at xx:18:xx constantly checking the forum to monitor the daily progress (I know....I have a long way to go). Couldn't we assume that there should eventually be a big jump in order placement at SOME point? I mean although my order time sounds like an eternity based on the existing progress...it is ONLY 18 minutes after pre-orders went live. It's frustrating realizing that a mere ~12 minutes caused me to delay receipt by 4-6 weeks!?!?

Come on Apple...you need to do much better than that!
 
hey guys,

turns out i cannot get funds till the 13th of may for my watch ordered on 29/4 and have june delivery estimate..

if i get attempting to charge between then and then get a call / e-mail saying they couldn't get the money, if i phone straight after this e-mail (assuming it gets shipped before the estimate of june) will apple hold out, and if so how many days are they likely to do so? just until i get the funds organised?



RTJ

They don't try to charge you until your watch is ready to ship. You should be good.
 
Orders are moving along. My turn now:

38mm SG BSB
Order time: xx:33 4/10
Charged: Approx. Noon CT 5/5
Status: Preparing for shipment
Location: Houston, TX area

Pretty much same for me. Just got the text that it will arrive tomorrow. Yay!!!
 
Finally!!! My 42mm Space Grey Sport will be arriving tomorrow! Just in case anyone was curious i ordered mine on April 10th xx.06.21 and its shipping to NJ.
 
XX:06:59 April 10
42mm
Still processing
No charge
Feels like I'm so close. Nice to see all these 38's moving quickly, just wish 42's would hurry up. Expecting to see something today or tomorrow hopefully. I think seeing all these others coming in has made some of us forget that we are still technically in the first shipping window, and most of us are getting ours way earlier than estimated.
