Lots of planes in the air from Alaska to Louisville right now. 747s too!

That doesn't do anyone any good that is still processing. We need planes from China. Not already in the U.S. Those planes going to Louisville have apple watches for the east coast and all other tech products from Asia. Not watches that are processing. The processing status has changed consistently when the planes from China land in Alaska (except for today).
 
This is what confuses me so much about this launch. I'm in Philadelphia, ordered at 3:04AM, same Watch, and am stuck in processing. I feel like it seems everyone who ordered after me is getting their Watch tomorrow.

You are reading seconds as minutes. He received his confirmation at 12:03:31 PST. Before you.

We don't know that for sure. It's possible that Apple arranged a large shipment of watches to go: China > Alaska > Louisville > Local Distribution Centers. If overnight a bunch of watches from those flights end up at local centers, it's still possible to see some processing orders flip to shipped and order statuses change only when they arrive at those centers. This is Apple after all, they probably have a special agreement with UPS outside of normal Next Day air cutoffs, etc.

Reason why I don't think this is so is because it's different than any other apple launch. All launches in the past that I have participated in has the device go from China to Louisville and the shipping label says it's coming from Louisville. All the watches on the west coast seem to be coming from Rialto, which hasn't happened before. Watches on the east seem to be comin. From Harrisburg. Seems like Louisville isn't seeing the apple traffic it has for previous watches. But hey what do I know. All I know is the pattern I've noticed.

I agree with both. Honestly we have no clue. From my understanding, orders were charged this morning before planes landed in Alaska and then nothing once the planes did arrive. Planes landed in Alaska with nothing happening this afternoon.
 
Welp, guess I'm not getting my watch tomorrow after all. What a bummer.

Not to point out the obvious. It looks like you are complaining his watch shipped when you ordered first, except his watch didn't ship.
 
For the curious, the confirmation for my SG 42mm Sport that is being delivered tomorrow came in at 3:03:26am

Well I'm a :03:45 person with no watch coming.

Mine just got scanned in to Ontario around 3PM PDT. Didn't say whether it came out of Rialto or not but I am assuming so.

Very excited!! I just hope UPS comes before their usual 5PM time tomorrow. All ready to go to film the unboxing!
 
I'm in China. Got a notification of shipment last night, but it's being sent by the cheapest possible option (China Post), and was told this morning it will take up to five days to arrive. Ironic, considering I'm in the country that manufactures them! The wait is gonna kill me!
