I got bored, did some math: on the ordertracker website our data showed that 70% of our orders went through between xx:01-xx:06. 13% and 17% for 07-13 and 14-20 respectively.

The numbers for those interested were 32, 6, 8.

And in case you're even more interested...

So theoretically we should see more of a spread in the coming shipments. Maybe 2-4 minutes at a time

I would go pick it up. You will probably be able to get it on the same day and as soon as they receive it :p


That depends on where you live. Some access points have more limited hours than others such as only allowing pick ups after 3pm and sending to an Ups store can sometimes take an extra day.
 
So the last reported shipped was an order at xx:06:28?

I'm at xx:06:30, nothing yet and so close...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggg!

X:6:13 and x:6:36 were reported last night. My x:6:28 was never charged. The guy at 6:36 created his account yesterday and that was his first post. Not sure how much I trust that one. Kinda pissed mine didn't go through yet if thats the case. Will need to chat with Apple Store today and see if there was an issue.
 
I hope they get through more then half a minute of orders. We are at 6:28. Come on! I hope we get them out today so ups can deliver them tomorrow. I need to go pick up my BSB from UPS.

My conf is xx:6:50

Save yourself (and them) the bother and don't call. They really don't have access to the order entry system. All they're going to do it try to calm you down and get you off of the phone.

Order times are a good GENERAL guide as to people's order sequence. It is NOT exact. There is no quality of service on outgoing mail delivery. His order could have been well before yours, but he got his e-mail later. And Apple CS people can't comment about another customer to you.

Everyone needs to remember that these times are anything but precise.

----------

I guess it's a good indication that the % of people we have left in here vs "the real world" has diminished considerably, with only having two :06's report in last night.

I think once we get through the first 10 minutes, we'll burn through the rest of the day pretty quick.

(and, for those that haven't been watching - the latest order entry times for outside the US are the full range of :06-:10 with one :13).

Things ship in batches that make sense for Apple logistically (and the SKU's for each country is usually different because of the packaging / warranty inserts).
 
So after seeing all these people with other models starting to get more precise delivery dates in June, I'm kinda losing hope that July people (Me included) aren't going to see our watches until the very tail end of July. As far as I've seen, no July people have even had a single update yet, which is extremely disappointing.

I know Apple quoted us "July" up front, but I can't actually believe it really might take them 3+ months to fulfill the preorders. I'm not saying Apple has done anything wrong yet, since technically we haven't missed our window, but still.

It really rubs me the wrong way that people who place an order right now are quoted the exact same estimate as people who got in within the first 10 or so mins of orders opening on the 10th (If you were to go order a 42mm SB watch right now, the estimate is July).

Has anyone with a July date had any news whatsoever?

I'm also in the July window, and I ordered my SSSB on April 22th. It's been more than a month since then and as you, I haven't had any update yet.

Updated, sorry guys, I was April 10, 2:06:16 am CST and it's still preparing for Shipment!

6:28 is 6 minutes and 28 seconds after store opens? Or 6:28 am?

You saw they wrote x:6:36, right? That's been pretty standard in here to denote after store opening. (or you could write :6:36 or :06 or :06.36)

The hour was absent (as denoted by the x).

Congrats!! :)

I ordered at 6:53 am so I was just hoping I figured tho :/
 
Yep, so did the Junes - their window didn't change. That's a GOOD thing. If Apple gives you a shipping window, it could mean they're level setting you for a long wait. You don't want that update; you want your watch! :)

Right. So hopefully early July.

No....hopefully early JUNE!! :)

Edit: Also, Tim said they want to launch in-store "by June" - meaning we'll start to see watch stock in the store soon. At the very latest, that has to be early to mid June.

We've seen them make a lot of progress on the most popular watches.

Next Friday is June 5th. I think we're going to see a LOT of watches ship between now and then.
 
Besides those 2 orders, I havent seen anything move, lets hope its because of the holiday yesterday.
