For those of you like me who haven't received their watches yet, do you think it's going to suck how Apple is going to announce the new watchOS and features today before we get our watches and then when we actually do get them they won't have any of the new features? Do you know what I mean?
But you can just update it when you get it, no?
 
Ordered a 42mm on May 12th went PFS this morning. Shipping to Canada

How long does it take from PFS to actually ship
 
Ordered a 42mm on May 12th went PFS this morning. Shipping to Canada

How long does it take from PFS to actually ship

Usually somewhere around 12 hours

The only caveat here is shipment to Canada might be slightly different than US. Mine went from PFS to shipped in less than a day and actually delivered the very next day. It seems the watch was already through customs and was at a UPS hub in Louisville before PFS showed up because the very first tracking info I got showed the watch in Louisville. For Canada, I suspect the watch is sitting at a facility in Canada when you see your status flip to PFS but I seriously doubt Apple wants to clear customs twice with these things, first in the US and then again in Canada. I hope this user comes back and lets us know how long it took to go from PFS to shipped in Canada. I'm curious if it's the same short delay we see in the US.
 
Ordered a 42MM AWS Space Grey on May 10th. Shipping times started as Mid July, then gradually moved up to Late June, and then last week, changed to June 12-17. Then, to my surprise, this past Saturday (June 6th), it magically changed to Shipping. Have been tracking it the whole way, and it left China on Saturday morning, made it to Louisville late Saturday night, and then from Louisville to the Detroit area overnight last night, and is on the truck for delivery today. So overall, 2 days to get from China to my house (knock on wood).

Hope everyone else gets theirs soon too! Looking forward to both the watch and WWDC on the same day. It's going to be an "Apple" sort of day today. :)

That's unusually fast! I've been tracking folks data from PFS to unboxing, and for those who've been getting theirs in the last week (in the US) it takes 3-4 days (and more often 3 rather than 4). So, when you switch from Processing to PFS, you can set a 72-hr timer and save yourself some heartache ... I think.
 
I've just searched with my phone number and got my tracking info. It is still in China and to delivers on Thursday. It went PFS on a Saturday and to receive it on a Thursday that's a long wait. It's there a chance that it might be faster?
Same thing with mine. Not due to be delivered until Thursday.
 
I just ordered a Space Gray 38mm on Saturday (june 6). Its status already changed last night to pfs. Unless it stays in PFS for days, seems possible it could arrive this week? Seems that the backlog is quickly being filled. Rumor has it the watches will be in stores in a couple of weeks.

I'd imagine you would get it tomorrow, mine said PFS until 2 in the morning and i still got it at 9am that day. And the 38mm have been shipping much quicker than 42mm.

My timeline hope it helps people with questions.

Ordered May 12,
-Went into PFS on Friday June 5 at night around 11pm
-Shipping label and all was created early Saturday morning,
- it sat in Suzhou, China for 2 days, finally about 20 min ago got to Shanghai and now has left Shanghai to Anchorage
- I just checked the flight checker its on UPS 61 (only plane that just left shanghai)
- Apple says june 10 delivery, UPS says june 9!
-Without the weekend and sunday being a non business day, could have been a 3 day process not a 4

I have the same details as you, down to the order date. I think we will get it tomorrow.
 
May 17th 42mm order:
Charged and PFS June 7 (still no tracking using reference)
Found tracking using ref June 8
Sitting in Suzhou, China for delivery Thursday 11th (UPS Worldwide Express Saver)
 
Apple still has my watch as PFS but I checked UPS and I already have a tracking # and it's about to depart from China.

A quick update to the latest watchOS and you'll be good to go. It's not like they'll be releasing a new Apple Watch at WWDC today.

I never received a notice of PFS. It was sitting in Processing since I ordered, and then suddenly, it was shipping on Saturday. Wasn't even expecting it, but was very pleasantly surprised!
