Space Gray Orders Post here!

[specik]

Here's what I don't get. Apple must've known the Space Gray would be really popular (test groups, marketing dept, etc). Why not adjust the supply accordingly? It just doesn't make sense to me. We have people who ordered minutes into the pre-order window who won't have watches at launch, and then you have other who were give 4-6 weeks (or even later) who are getting bumped up. This is bad supply chain management.

I really feel like the only reason anyone that was given 4-6 weeks would be bumped up is because they have more than enough watches. Otherwise it's just bad business.

Ugh... starting to lose hope for any updates today...

Ya it's after 5pm EST and no updates. I'll check in the morning. This forum has had over 2k viewers throughout the day though, haha.

lets not make assumptions yet as it may very well be that space grey was produced enough to cover orders and just that they will finish processing today or tomorrow

There don't seem to be many cards being charged today, which makes me think they've hit a bump in available stock. But we shall see!

My 42mm space grey order changed to preparing for dispatch this morning!

Some of the planes haven't even landed yet. I'd give it another 20-30 minutes before making any sweeping statements.

I'm convinced Tim is sitting on a mountain of Space Grey sports, watching at this thread unfold and maniacally laughing.

CONVINCED I SAY

Or there could have been some manufacturing issue with SG aluminum causing very limited yield/supply. (Pure speculation) will see soon enough!

 

[teknikal90]

Id rather get my watch 1 week or 2 weeks late than deal with #scuffgate2

They had 2 weeks of production after preorders to deal with how many SG Sports were ordered, so I'm hoping for a plane full of SG Sports to show up yet today or tomorrow!

OKAY All...

At 1631 CST TODAY - Credit card was finally charged for my 42mm Space Gray.
Confirmation Email from order was at 0203 CST

Just wanted to get this out ASAP... for all those XX:03'ers out there. Keep the faith!!!

Apple still says "processing" but with Credit card charge... shouldn't be long now.

(Update - after just learning how to find out the "seconds" of my confirmation email. Confirmation email was received at 02:03:16 CST).

UPS77 could be the flight our Watches are on! It is scheduled to leave Anchorage at 4:22PM AKDT (5:22 PDT, 8:22EDT) and arrive in Ontario at 9:52PM PDT (12:52AM EDT). Expect some tracking numbers to be logged in a hour or so.

It's in the process of landing in Anchorage from Shenzhen as we speak.

Alright, I will understand if there was really not enough stock for me to get my Space Gray on Friday, but wtf is this:
(click pic for AppleInsider article)

People with 4-6 week ship dates are getting preparing to ship before 4/24-5/8 orders are even processed? What gives?

 

[Pens9]

What apple doesn't want you to know ISIS stole all space grey watches # I'd be so mad
