Hoping to figure out if Apple is really making progress on getting the Space Gray models shipped out.
 
I ordered the 42mm SG sport as well and it is still processing but good to know somebody with the same watch had a status change. Thanks.


My debit card was charged on Monday and then the status went into prepared for shipment but nothing further. I saw other posts of people able to track a package by reference but it never worked for me. Just hoping for Friday :)
 
I would be interested to see a poll based off of SG 42mm and 38mm.

There seems to be movement with the SG 42mm, but very LITTLE movement on the 38 SG on the threads.

Well good luck...I have a June Delivery status so the quicker they ship out your watch, the faster I will get mine. ;)

Hmmmmm, that would be interesting too, wish I could add a secondary poll to this thread. I heard a rumor on the other threads that there might possibly have been a manufacturing issue with Space Gray so if that is the case it would apply to both.
 
I'd like to know who voted "shipped" as I haven't seen virtually anyone say theirs has.

Mine is still "preparing for shipment" and card was charged several days ago.

Yeah...but there is a thread about just the space gray, and I don't think there was a single person who posted that their 38mm SG has been charged or a status update (that is off my memory). But there were a ton of people complaining about not having any update. There was tons of activity with those who have the 42mm SG that had activity today (I was one of those lucky few).

I don't know if it is because there is high demand, or production problems, or worse, BOTH of those.

Here is the thread I am talking about: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1869954/

I bet that will happen tomorrow at end of business (after ups and fedex pickup times).

Checked the link out...You're right, seems 38mm is getting no love.

Yes, I would also like to know what that is about.
 
Here is a picture of a post in the other thread:

38mm SG email confirm with in 1 minute and NO UPDATE. Something is wrong with that!

Well, the poll looks like it's shaping up to show that Apple is aiming to get 15 to 20% of the SG pre-orders out in the first wave of shipments. If that is the case and since it's been 12 days since the beginning of pre-orders and because Apple said they are shipping in the order received, I'm guessing that anybody that pre-ordered after the first 2 or 3 days will most likely not have a change in order status until this first wave of shipments are processed. That's just my take.
 
I'm kinda surprised they weren't prepared for this color being the most popular. Maybe tomorrow is Space Gray day...Thursday, that is.

Yeah, it appears that they miscalculated big time, which is amazing when you think about the money they must have put into the marketing and focus group research.

Did you try UPS My Choice b/c that worked for me
 
I woke up to a myUPS email letting me know I have an overnight tracking number!!!!!

Apple's website has not updated with the tracking number yet.

I changed the shipping to have the package hold at the UPS sorting center. So I will be in line at 8 AM to pick up my watch!!!!!:)
