Stainless Steel Space Black Shipping Status

Has anyone with ship date of "June" received their watch ?
Click to expand...
June until last Thursday, 5/28. That was UPS notification, then on Friday was sent the Apple ship notification. AW arrived yesterday. Oh yay!

(Ordered 4/10, 00:07:52 PDT, 42mm SBSS)
 
My buddy just got his yesterday. He was a XX:08. I'm an XX:24. I don't think I will see movement on mine until either very end of this week or early next.

Also not a bad idea to contact your bank/CC company and make sure they don't have one of these silly rules that if the pre-auth and charge are more than 30 days apart, the charge is declined as part of their fraud protection (we've had a few of those).

My bank always blocks my card when a charge for an Apple pre-order is attempted 🙁

I tried phoning them in advance last time I pre-ordered an Apple product, to pre-warn them that there would be a perfectly legitimate charge coming through from Apple, but they said they couldn't do anything as the system is automatic. I would just have to wait for the inevitable auto-block, then phone the bank, then phone Apple.

I'm dreading the same happening with my Space Black Apple Watch, and causing me to slip further back in the queue...

I'm XX:24 too, 42mm case, UK.

Hoping it will be soon... my wife ordered a 38mm with Milanese Loop today and will probably receive her Watch before I get the one I pre-ordered on 10 April! 🙁

A friend of mine just got his 42 mm SSSB yesterday here in Hawaii and he was June. Have no idea what time he pre-ordered.

I'm still stuck in July purgatory.

Make sure you have alerts turned on at the Online Store for changes in order status and check it at least once a day once your confirmation time gets close (i.e. you see other :2x orders moving). It'll say on Apple's site that there was a problem with your charge.

And, for next time, I'd really consider switching banks if I were you. 🙂

Heh...it CAN be. Likely not for anyone here though. What we saw last week, people are charged when the watches are in China (and change to Shipped when they leave). Now, that isn't to say they don't change that, but that's what we saw last week.

I apologize for what I assume has been posted before, but I was unable to find, how do you find your manufacturing details, i.e. XX:24?

I am late to the party here as I just found out my wife pre-ordered me one on 4/22 for my birthday Thursday...

1) Your wife is awesome.
2) XX:24, etc refers to the confirmation email that Apple sent her when she pre-ordered. What is your estimated ship date if she logs into and checks the order status?

Like Trik indicated, XX:24 is a way we've been using to indicate when we got our pre-order confirmation from Apple the evening the pre-orders started (April 10th). Since people come from all sorts of timezones, we use things like XX:24 to indicate that person got their confirmation email 24 minutes after pre-orders started.

Since I got my email at 18 minutes after midnight PST (when pre-orders started), I indicate my time as XX:18.
 
It drives me nuts that we just have "June" when July orders have a date range. Is it because they are backed up on the June orders now so they just give a 4 week range to make that??

It also is really obnoxious that the watches will be coming to the store probably before we get ours.

Ah, I see. I will see if she has the email but when I log in as her I see the estimate at 7-10 days delivery between the 12th and the 17th. This is for a 42SS with a medium BLL.

Also, yes she is awesome. Really hoping for a timely gift...
 
I've been lurking on this thread for a while, great to see everyone is getting their watches. Anyone have a good idea where UK is up to? UK thread is pretty quiet.

I ordered 42mm XX:16 and still with 'June'

Yeah the email isn't going to mean anything to you, it only applies to those that ordered on Day 1 on April 10th. We are at 17 minutes after it went live (in the United States). So XX:17, meaning people that ordered on 4/10 at XX:18 haven't gotten their 42MM SSSB watches yet.

Probably not true. Indications I've seen suggest stores will be getting watches near the end of June. Hopefully, all us 'June' folks will have ours before then.

And even if we don't, there's no guarantee the stores will have black SS in the stores during June.

If Apple has stock to send to the stores, they will satisfy the pre-orders first. I really, really doubt they'll put black SS in the stores while pre-order folks are still waiting for theirs -- doesn't make sense.

I really hope so. Im a XX:17 and it sucks missing the tail end of the last batch. I already have the click adapter preordered, the watch stand, sports band... I see them everyday. Two girls I know got their 38mm and they ordered days later.

Sorry man, I lost track of the UK. I know they didn't get up to :13 (as that was a France order - the latest at the time until we got a :17 from Aus - but that one's a little different as it was a phone order). :13 is also the latest we've gotten with Canada.
The U.S. is :17, but there are :17's that haven't been charged yet. That's when the next US wave will start.
Hopefully we see another wave of outside-the-US orders charged this week as well.

All of this is for the 42mm's of course. The 38's seem to be almost caught up.

Yup. Friend of mine ordered a 38mm and got it recently. Clearly the 42mm were more in demand than the 38mm. 🙂

Thanks for the info! I didn't realise everywhere else was that much further behind US! I was hoping for a charge this week too. Here's hoping.

heh, it's a "leap-frogging" thing. The US were only at the :06 mark and saw the rest of the world getting into double-digits (a fair amount of teeth grinding going on when that happened) 🙂

The density of the orders is going down...we'll see significant jumps in timestamps in the next wave or two.

That makes perfect sense, thanks for clarifying.
