I had to wait until the actual website came up so I could order with my PayPal credit account, so I didn't get in until 0209 (CST). No changes as of yet.
 
Order at 3:02 got email confirmation at 3:04.
Used MasterCard
Shipping to Ohio

When I ordered the iPhone 6 I did not get preparing to ship until Wed and received Friday. It came from a Depot in Pa. so it only took 2 days max from there to me. Could be the same happening...I hope...

This is what makes me stay hopeful.
 
42mm :05 order confirmation. I'm screwed. Got up an hour before the preorder went live and refreshed the website relentlessly. Didn't realize the app users were getting a special exclusive presale until :04. Grabbed my phone and got it in. Too late.
 
3:04 confirmation email for me. No change as of now. Headed to Long Island NY

edit - 42mm - no accessories/applecare+ if it matters
 
Confirmation email at 12:02. 42mm SG. No change in order status.

Bay area Ca. Not buying this theory of 12:03 and under.....

Seriously?? What.The.Heck?!? This doesn't make any sense. I'm gonna go with another batch or orders getting processed tomorrow. It has to be it!
 
I ordered right at 3:01EST but I didn't get my confirmation until 3:04EST. So hopefully I still will get it Friday. Everybody else that status's have changed have seemed to have gotten their confirmation before 3:03. Now if somebody has gotten charged and their status has changed and their confirmation was after 3:05 then we should be good.

On a side note, do you think within this 4/24 to 5/8 delivery window, do you think there are multiple waves of shipments, or do you think its just going to be one big shipment?

It's been pretty well established over the years that printing labels are not created on a first-in/first-out basis. If you have a 4/24 shipping date range you're probably safe to not start getting worked up until Wednesday.
