Ordered via Web

Changed to Preparing for Shipping at same time as pending charge
 
still processing... i guess i missed this batch. Maybe it's because i'm getting the second batch that will be thinner lighter bug free, and better battery life :p

42mm SG Sport
 
More hope, guys.

There's a really busy pattern of charter cargo traffic scheduled to fly tonight and tomorrow to Anchorage. Remember that Shanghai is the airport that serves the Quanta watch factory, and that Apple has an established pattern of moving pre-ordered products in just this way.

I'm going to guess that we're going to see some more movement tomorrow.

This is awesome! Just the info I was looking for.
 
38mm SG
XX:06.19
And I am addicted to refreshing my account and order status page every 30 seconds. That is my story.... So sad...
 
What's your time? Seconds?

Sorry my brothers in waiting ...I didn't get a confirmation email (long story) .. But I'm telling you ... If you have the same delivery window ... Be patient .. Be pissed tomorrow night if you see no movement but I'll bet dollars to donuts in the next 24 hours you will.

It had to be between 3:04AM to 3:05AM when I would have received my confirmation email. I have a .mac email address assigned to my account that no longer exist and they can't change without me losing all my iTunes purchases, so that's the reason for no email confirmation.

If you are after 4-24/5-8 all bets are off in my opinion on 42mm SG for Friday delivery.

I still have 3 weeks at the earliest... :(

The bright side of this if I am you is that over the weekend review all the YouTube post about the watch and use that to decide if you should stay with Space Gray or go with something different like the stainless steel.
 
Friendly sysadmin here. Just wondering if the seconds on the email actually matter. The time the order was placed is more telling (if we could even get that information). The email could have theoretically been sent out of sequence. It's highly unlikely that every server that processes orders has a local SMTP server, so network latency could cause emails to be sent out of order. Just a thought.

I agree with you, but is all that we have to base this off of. I think that is why we are seeing some get theirs processed before others because of that. I don't thinks there really is a way to get a record down to the second of why you actually placed the order.

This seems to be somewhat telling and close to determine how close you are getting....give or take a little.
 
Figured out the seconds... 03:51 for my SG. Wish I would've done it first, but instead I got my wife's Silver at 03:09!!! That would've made a heck of a difference! Oh well!
 
Looks like there's one more China Cargo this afternoon, and - this is interesting - what looks to be another pair of China Cargo charters going direct from Shanghai Pudong (the airport nearest the Quanta factory that is assembling watches) to Anchorage at midnight PT. Who knows, there might be some late night action....

How do you find this out??? That is really cool!

You will get yours on Friday ... I'm not a betting man ... But let's bet just to bet. Plus you started this big thread .. You deserve one Friday.
 
12:04:48AM confirmation here for the 42mm SG and no change yet. Really hoping I see a status change soon as it's still so close to the first wave of dates (4/24-5/8). Tomorrow will be the last day for any hope of it arriving 4/24 for me :rolleyes:

I had originally wanted the Space Black with linked bracelet, but then they announced the prices and I wasn't going to pay that much for a gadget with an unknown life cycle. Will I be uncool in 12 months with a gen1 watch if a new one comes out sooner than later? Will it be completely obsolete within 2 years?

I need to feel more comfortable with the update cycle before I commit a sum of money that would otherwise be able to buy me a new Mac which I know will last me 5+ years (still using my Core2 11.6" MBA :D).

Agreed ... I already have two very expensive watches ... I want to see where this product goes before spending close to $1000 on the configuration I like!

Same boat as you, except I ordered via the app. I have been keeping an eye on my order status all day haha.
 
As much as I want the watch as soon as possible. I'm beginning to calm over the situation. We all need to remember that no one has been promised a 4/24 delivery date, but merely promised a device to ship between 4/24 and 5/8. No one ever said we would be guaranteed a watch on launch day. It was only said that some will be available. Clearly there are limited 42SG and hardly any if any at all 38SG available for Friday. I've come to realize it and will get my watch when it comes. I'm happy enough knowing one will be arriving in the next 2 weeks.

I hope all end up getting surprised and get a watch on 4/24! I think we are all in this thread because we are wishing for that!

Also, the 42mm SG has been talked about being one of the most popular watched ordered. I think the demand was really high for the SG! I don't have anything to site to back this up. This is just my opinion from reading MANY threads over the last 2 weeks!

I don't know what is going on with the 38mm SG. There is LITTLE or NO updates on that model among the many threads.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL! I really hope everyone who is in the 04/24 to 05/08 gets surprised on Friday!
 
My 42MM SG was ordered at 12:03am and just turned to preparing for shipment. Looks like maybe Monday at this point I'll get it.
 
Honestly, it's not fair how those of us who preordered early (in the 4/24 - 5/8) have to wait longer compared to those who preordered later. I'm not happy with this. 38mm Space Gray Sport, confirmation email received at 12:02. I have lost all hope for receiving this device on Friday like I should have.

Go ahead and throw all the hate comments you want at me, but I have a valid reason to complain about this.

Hey not hating but it could be worse. You have the good time slot of 4/24-5/8, I unfortunately have to wait till June at the latest. Couldn't order until 7:55 pm CST (don't ask....). I'm very hopeful it could come before June but it seems they severely misjudged the space gray option. Thinking about ordering a different one to see which arrives first.... #

There's still time for you to get it Friday. They'll overnight it tomorrow.
