So when do the next wave of planes come in?

Kind of deflated right now to even care....but am still curious. Would be nice if the next batch came in today for monday delivery.
 
WTF lol

The whole point of pre ordering my SG 42mm 2 weeks in advance at 319am, I know it was 3am but the site wasn't opened until then for me lol on a product showing 6 months before hand to get a June window like wtf lmao as long as I get mine before next Friday aka leaving for the military, I'll be fine. That's life for you. I guess if we had more of an understanding and clarity on WTF is going on with this thing would have been cool.
 
If you haven't gotten a charge or shipping notification it's not happening. I'm a 38mm 3:04am orderer and haven't heard crap except that lame email.

I was refreshing from 11:50 p.m. on April 9th and haven't even got the "lame email" :(

I think all bets are off at this point. I'm not 100% convinced the planes landing correlated to shipping updates anyway.

When I got my iPhone 6+ after launch, I got a shipping notification when it left the factory in China. I expect that will be the case for us as well. I think what we got were a flurry of status changes when the watches hit the distribution centers.
 
For those of us in the 5/13 window, we have nothing to complain about. We were never in the 4/24 window. With that being said I'd love to get charged today for my 3:04 EDT order.

Okay.
For everyone who is saying this launch isn't botched. Look at the numbers.
Estimates were 1 million watch units pre-ordered. Breaking that down by delivery window, you can estimate approximately 250,000 - 300,000 units per window. From previous apple product launches, this is a disaster just based on the numbers.

If Apple is incapable of producing so few units for a product launch, this launch is botched. Don't give the BS about not knowing which product they were going to need. Apple has always had more than enough units for every launch, they just might not have been ones people wanted, but would settle on.

For Apple to not have enough units produced after being able to supply not only their stores, but the boutiques as well, this launch went horrible. Apple should have had 1 million of each unit ready to go (except the stupid gold model) because just like their phones, people are going to want the watch.

You can tell it was botched when after 3mins into preordering opened up the delivery windows were pushed 4-6 weeks back.

Amen, when you're going to be a TRILLION company let me repeat a TRILLION dollar company. ****, they'll have more money than a lot countries, whatever excuse you come up with isn't going to fly with your customers lol

Best case scenario would be to see the charge hit by the end of next week. But I'm not entirely convinced that'll even happen.

At least the 42mm people, I think that's likely. It's not like Apple is going to let up on the gas pedal after launch. Yesterday a lot of people that ordered at xx:03-04 42mm SG got shipping notifications. I'm an xx:05. I think it's likely I could get a shipping notification by Tuesday.
 
Confused

Question, was everyone else confused when they sold out in 6 hours but most dates got changed in 3 f%#$ing minutes to most been told their watch will come in May or June? To me NOT receiving a product when it launches and being told over a month means SOLD OUT.

Yeah, I'm at :05 as well for the 42mm. We'll see. Got a funny feeling we won't see the charge till later in the week (thurs/fri) for delivery the following week (mon/tues). It'd be nice to be wrong though.
 
So while it sucks that I don't get mine today, my fiances is on the truck around town AND her watch charge fell off the credit card....a free apple watch would be a great consolation lol. (I know its not gonna happen)

Are you in the 4/24 window? If so you're the latest timestamp I've seen. (I thought I was the latest at 04:28.)

Mine is xx:04:30 on the email,but I did place my order at around 3:02, the email took a couple of minutes to arrive. SG42mm headed for NYC.
4/24 window
Current status: Processing
 
I'm in UK with an 08:04 ordered 42mm space grey still processing. Guessing we won't see any movement until next week, but I wonder how soon the next batch will start shipping... are we talking days or weeks?
 
4 planes heading to anchorage this morning. Just took off for the 7-9 hour flight. Looks like we won't know until this afternoon
