There's quite a few threads this applies to so rather than posting in each...

I was one of the unlucky ones who didn't receive their Apple Watch on Friday despite ordering within a minute or two of pre-orders going live.

The original order was 42mm SS BSB and then a separate SS band as the former was showing earlier shipping times.

Given the general delays with BSB's, I ordered a 42mm SS WSB on Friday in case they were prolonged...it's now set for "Preparing for Shipment" so I'm hoping for delivery tomorrow. The SS BSB is still "Processing".

So, if you're not fussed about the sports band color then it may be worth you doing the same.

I will of course be cancelling the BSB - hopefully someone else will get there's a bit sooner.

Country: Australia

I hope that hasn't been edited because I have just done ordered the 42mm SS WSB and an additional BSB in the hope that it will come before my 42mm SS BSB

Only by removing my name/order number! It seems they process orders at around 5pm each day (AEST at least) so maybe it will comes Tuesday.

I've placed another order too for the WSB, will cancel either this or the BSB depending on which ships first.
 
I did the same. Ordered a SG sport on launch but no movement other than money taken so ordered a SS WSB on Thursday but that has ALSO done nothing more than charged me.

So you ordered the same model the day after me and are getting it before? So to clarify; BOTH my watch orders have been passed over with at least 1 other person ordering after me and getting it before. Madness!
Do apple hate me?

Edit: Ah, just noticed that you're a different country to me, thats fair enough then.
 
I ordered the same watch on 04/23 USA. No movement. Anyone else in USA get notification? The closest person to my date I've seen shipped is 04/19 (USA)
 
I ordered my SS 42mm WSB last night.

I think this model will ship way faster than the Space Gray Sport I ordered, going by everyone else's experiences. I'm probably just gonna end up canceling the Space Gray order if anything.
 
Did the same Thursday night but in the U.S.

I think it will ship faster and I was going to buy a white sports band anyways..so now I'll just buy a black sports band separately. I think the white looks sharp though.

Still processing.
 
Yes, keep the Country in mind. I also ordered a 42mm SS WSB on Friday because my original order of the 42mm SG is stuck in "processing". Waiting to see which ships first but so far the 42mm SS WSB I ordered Friday is still processing.

I'm located in the US.

You and I are in the same boat. I ordered at 11:29pm CST. Im hoping for shipment this week!
 
Also ordered a 42mm SS WSB on Friday 4:17:55 AM PDT. Still processing but part of me feels that will ship first over the BSB I originally ordered.
 
I ordered mine this morning (42SSWSB) after realizing my 42SSBSB isn't going to ship for a few weeks (ordered 4/19 @ 8:57 AM EST). What are the chances I see this before I leave Friday for vacation? I'm in the US btw.

In my honest opinion, very slim. I ordered one on 4/24 and don't expect it for another week or two at least.

Honestly? 35%

Sure it's not the Black Band but it's still the 42mm which looks to be back up as well.

Now if you order a 38mm with a sport band your chances of receiving it jump to 90%
 
I'm giving it a whirl. No progress on my 42 SS BSB, so I'll see what happens with a white band.
