You do know that email time stamps don't mean Jack, right? That has no bearing on the time the order was actually placed. None of us can prove that our order was placed at any specific time, but the argument is fun.
It doesn't? It means that the order was placed before the email was sent.
 
Psst, our experiences were different. I was able to order before you were able to get in the store.

:D nice try.

Well of course the order was placed before the email was sent. But you could have ordered at 12:03 and the email could have a time stamp of 12:01. The time stamp doesn't come from Apple's servers but from the email servers in between or even the time on your own system. So if any of the systems in between were set a couple of minutes early it would show an earlier time.

You mean the app vs the site? Yes the app came up first.


I guess we both had different experiences. I was able to take a screenshot of my order, photoshop out the personal information, and upload this post at 3:02:

Not even I'm fast enough to place an order, screenshot it, Photoshop it, and upload it all in one minute.

Text convo with my friend where I said I had already ordered at 2:02.

I paid $20 for internet service on a Disney Cruiseboat in the middle of the Caribbean ocean on April 10th 9AM for a 42mm SS black and shipping date says July.

I guess I didn't miss much if I pre-ordered at midnight.

My order (42mm) was completed at 0004 hours PST and still got a June delivery date. The app was down until 0003, then I submitted my order.

I don't understand why others received a May delivery date that was placed after my order.

I am actually loosing steam over the AW. I might just keep the SG Sport (delivery in the second band of deliveries in May, order placed seperatly after I ordered the SS) and save the money for v2, and sell the black SS when I receive it.

Just have to wait and see.

*Side Bar* Nice! (Not that your AW is delivering in July) but the Disney Cruise. I can't wait to go on another next year on one of the new boats.

I hate to break it to you, but the store didn't go live until 12:02AM
If your order confirmation email has a time earlier than that, then it's the time being off on any email servers involved or your own system. I ordered mine the within 30 sec of the app going live and my email was time stamped at 12:03AM, which is probably accurate. Not that it matters. :)


App went live at 3:01(est) for me. My confirmation is 3:01. I ordered with apple pay in like 20 seconds.
 
So what's everyone's plan for the next 2-4 weeks? Complete blackout or are you going to try and use a friends apple watch?

I wanted a complete blackout but my wife gets her SS White Sport Band tomorrow so I probably won't be able to keep my hands off it. I will be jealous for the next 2-4 weeks though.
 
I needed to hide the Apple Watch app. I feel like it's mocking me, laughing at me, and reminding me how less fortunate I am than the lucky few who are receiving their watches tomorrow. I can't take it anymore.

I've got that and a pending charge for the AppleCare+ on the watch I won't see for 2-4 weeks mocking me.
 
G'day all-

I'm another one that ordered the ss black link bracelet, eagerly awaiting news......

At the moment I have a July delivery.

I'll be sure to be checking this thread for any movement on these!

Cheers
 
Something to Look Forward to...

Hey, I am new to these forums and don't plan on posting much because I see how crazy ridiculous most people are on here but enough of the negativity...I decided to post a story (below) which was written by Greg Koenig for iMore. Sounds like those who are getting the SS Space Black are getting more than they thought...

So... glad I got AppleCare. Though it sounds like it'll hold up extremely well to normal use.
 
Is there any way the charge might go through over the weekend? I need the money for food but I get paid on Monday..

not really, theres been no activity for the space black watches. but if it does you might lose ur place in line.

I am sure it's a long shot but at the same time I wouldn't roll the dice, I have just over $1600AU parked in an account linked to a debit card waiting to be sucked out too.......

Fingers crossed you can grab a feed tonight.
 
My wife, and my daughters come tomorrow. I'm going to just go play Call of Duty or something.

Technology continues to evolve. Society however is The Matrix so to speak. The world is the wool that's been pulled over your eyes. By the time my grandchildren are my age, the planet will devolve into a movie like post apocalyptic feudal wasteland. Fall of the Roman Empire 21st Century style.

For 3 months?;)

My son, who had a June delivery date for his sport, gets his today (if i accept the parcel of course;)) My SGSSL still says July.. I'm guessing that sport is going to be waved in my face a lot in the coming weeks/months! :(
 
I have a theory (problem it is only a theory)
When you read the thread when the watches have been made, you see that most of them have been made the last 3 weeks. So, the link,bracelet takes more time, espacialy the black space model, we should now in near future see a fast improvement of the shipping of this model ;-) just keep thinking positively ;-)
