April 22 Australia (Brisbane) - still in "Processing Hell" - July 6 - 13 window... :/ Trying to remain confident of a flip in status this week!
 
Keep checking the site! It could flip randomly like some of ours today!
I wasn't expecting anything to happen until next week, so this comes as a huge surprise!
 
I have a departure scan at 12:06PM 6/16/15 from Suzhou but can't seem to find any flights that match up with that. Anyone have any flight info yet?

Mines scheduled for a Thursday delivery to Fresno, CA
It will go by truck from Suzhou to Shanghai, then by air to Alaska on the famous UPS81. That is for North America. Sorry I didn't look to see where in the world you are
 
Overnight my status changed to "Shipped". Scheduled for delivery tomorrow by end-of-day.

Scheduled For Early Delivery On:
Wednesday, 06/17/2015, By End of Day
Originally Scheduled For Delivery On:
Thursday, 06/18/2015, By End of Day

Last Location:
Departed - Suzhou, China, Tuesday, 06/16/2015
 
Quiet observer here. Same here. April 10th, 6:47AM order confirmation. Changed to shipped overnight. Scheduled for delivery by end of day 6/17. 42MM Space Black Stainless Steel.

The day has come!!!

@MacLilja, are you viewing the forums on a mobile device? Many of us (like I do) have our location below our avatar on the left. (clearly, I'm not in the US).

As it seems we need some reminders, here's the list:

June 3 - binglenozumi - :15 (post #7437) - HK
—June 8 - binglenozumi colleague - +1day (post #7647) - HK
June 8 - just1 - +1:04 (post#7592) - France
June 9 - chrisby80 - +3:43 - (post#7670) - Aus
June 12 - mrxloyd - +1:13 (post#7972) - UK
June 13 - alex123962 - :27 (post #8017/8020) - Germany
June 15 - HypeMan - +7:30 (post #8070) - US
June 15 - MikaelThib - +18 days - (post #8117) - Canada

All of the original "June" orders should be filled I think - as the flip to July was between 2:16-3:09 PST.

btw - for those going "wtf?!" - we saw the same thing in the 42mm SGS BSB queue. All of the Americans were freaking out because a few Canadians got processed weeks in advance of them. When we looked at the data they had in their spreadsheet there were hundreds of US orders....and 9 Canadian orders. Big surprise that Apple shipped them as one batch? (remember, each country is its own SKU due to warranty agreements as well as language).

Apple's going to ship in order as much as possible, but they're not going to completely ignore logistics and incur great expense just to keep things close.

...mine also shipped last night. UPS also adjusted my ETA, bumping it ahead a day from Friday to Thursday. :)

Looking forward to seeing it in the air. :)

Edit: Shanghai, China 06/16/2015 12:21 Arrival Scan

Looks like it'll be in the air shortly

Edit2: UPS81 is scheduled to depart at 9:36PM CST (China Standard Time) - that's in 90 minutes. :)

Aahhh, life is good! I'm shipped and heading my way for delivery tomorrow! I'm in with most of you guys with my order placed on April 10, 4 hours and 25 minutes after the webstore went live. I've lived with the "July" delivery window, then the "July 7 - July 14" update. Now, it's nearly a month early :)
42mm
 
@MacLilja - Yep, no worries.

@fresh4u - Oh, you guys will see movement soon, I have no doubt! Last week we saw several days of charges; the week is still young!

To any Canadians that didn't get charged in this batch...this next part of the wait is going to be pretty painful. I don't see Canada getting any more until everyone else is caught up.

Then again, we're now 10 days from the 26th (wave 2 countries day) - maybe Apple's actually going to be able to eliminate the backlog entirely by then. I think that's what they're trying to do, so they don't repeat the emotional anguish they've inflicted on the wave 1 countries. :)
 
I created an account on the forums just to participate in this thread, I ordered my watch on April 22 and I've got an estimated delivery of July 7-14. I'm hoping I get a PFS this week, I've got a feeling it'll happen!

If you're in the US I think you will have to wait longer. I ordered the same day (US) and I don't expect any movement for some time.
 
@fischersd we must be on the same plane as well! Same details for me!!
Couldn't be more excited that it got bumped up!

The only bad part, is that "by the end of day" that UPS put on there, because UPS literally delivers at the end of the day here.

Fisch, what do you think about holding it at the hub and picking it up? Good idea? Bad idea?
 
Newton's Apple ordered a 42mm with brown leather loop yesterday and it's delivering today! I just checked some of the watches in the online store and the 38mm SB SS is showing it ships in 1-3 business days!

Apple's getting caught up in a huge way. The fact that they specifically mentioned our model in the 2nd wave announcement means that it's the priority for them to get the backlog filled on our watches. We're going to see more movement than we have over the next few weeks. Those that didn't order on the 10th should really be optimistic - we had a 5 hour jump in the US yesterday (almost 5 1/2). We're going to see a lot of huge jumps in the next few charging waves.
