With how it's playing out it seems like the rest of this week (and possibly early next week even) will be filling April 26th-30th. I don't see the first few days of May (I ordered the 2nd) getting shipped til next Thursday or Friday if not later. :/

Louisville is UPS logistics hub. Apparently Apple is not generating PFS and delivery estimates for you until your watch hits Louisville. This serves 2 purposes. It avoids disappointment and it obscures Apple's logistics from all our reverse engineering efforts which have been extensive. I mean have you seen those guys tracking individual UPS aircraft? Geez. In the past when I've ordered an iPhone, I get PFS while it's in Shenzen (sp?) and I can follow it through customs in Anchorage or Louisville or whatever all the way to my house. With my Apple Watch, I didn't get any tracking details until my watch was in Louisville.

Some folks are still getting PFS and delivery estimates starting in China. I did on my order from 4/25 which was charged to CC and PFS yesterday AM then assigned a tracking number yesterday evening. My last UPS update received this AM said departure scan Shanghai with delivery on 6/4 to North Las Vegas. Once things started happening yesterday they moved along very quickly.
 
Because this pre-order is this pre-order, it's obvious that Apple and UPS have conspired, and they know that I am staying home this morning and so are waiting to attempt delivery until after I have to leave to go to work. o_O

My tracking started in China and it has been misery watching the watch sit in each location for like 30 hours each.
 
That moment when your watch is out for delivery and the UPS truck just speeds past your house....
That would definitely put a lump In my stomach.
Mine should arrive today & about 20 times at work so far I've refreshed the tracker.lol.
 
April 27th at early hours of the day preorder here. Was almost April 26th still. Still processing...
