Ok, and with the US and UK into mid to late June and more charges coming in, I think the rest of the Wave 1 countries, if not caught up, will be shortly.
One last time with feeling - here's the current list:
June 16 - JumpVorginia - Apr 22 order - (post #8167) - Aus
June 17 - chaisin - May 5 order - (post #8263) - HK
June 18 - dpietro - Apr 14 order - (post #8366) - France
June 19 - Menopause - May 30 order - (post #8548) - Germany
June 24 - areeb2930 - May 27 order (post #8843) - Canada
June 29 - Aarsinic - June 18 order (post #9045) - US
June 29 - ant_s - June 22 order (post #9050) - UK
Pretty much complete with the backlog - little point in tracking further.

Just got back from the UPS customer counter. Surprisingly, I had a package waiting!
(the leather loop I've had for over a month - way to tease, Apple)
YAY!

YAY!
The charge for my June 23 order just hit my credit card.
Edit to add: and now showing "preparing for shipment"

Mine has been sitting at UPS waiting to be delivered since yesterday. There has been no update from UPS today which doesn't make sense. It is about a 15-20 minute ride from the distribution center to my office location. Hoping it is a website problem and not a UPS Delivery issue.
Yes it was due for the week commencing the 13th July originally - then shipped later the same week. Amazing!
I'm happy to see orders are finally getting up and most people are getting them before July! Congrats everyone. Enjoy your new shiny black toy. It's a beautiful one.
Update on my situation. I thought my watch was defective but it wasn't. It just so happens the dock I put it on was knocked around a bit because of my dumbass cat so my watch must've dislodged in the middle of the night. That and it was apparently purging all of the apps and reinstalling them because I had toggled the button to fix the glitch where it would add any new app onto the apple watch automatically.
So for a week and half I've been doing good again. Love this ****ing watch. Apple customer service were great. They told me if I can wait long enough replacements would be in store in July and I wouldn't have to deal with shipping and hold. Also I was told watch and band would be replaced together. Looks like they might not have standalone black link bracelets for awhile or they feel any launch day space black that is defective that the band could be too, which I don't disagree.
Anyway glad everyone's getting their watch!

I'm also happy everyone is getting their pretty black watch, just like me. For those of you dealing with UPS, my condolences. Soon.
First day with an Apple Watch: looks like power concerns are relatively unfounded. It came of the box at about 10:30am with 79% battery, and I decided to see how long it would last. It went through a lot of initial sync, and I've been using a lot of screen and network time to day (speech to text, messaging, futzing with Faces, etc). 1am and it's still got 14%.

same here, day one (heavy use) I started with 80% as I tried to charge it off a battery pack I had on my desk (i got home with the package waiting at 11:30pm too late to go looking for additional outlets) but it didnt do well charging it.
So i ended the day around 10% with tracking and heart monitor turned off.
Yesterday I started at 100 and did a lot of stuff, dictation, gps nav from watch, and ended at about 11%.

Same here. Although I thought I lucked out and found one locally today. I jumped to reserve it and got the spot. I showed up and as a previous poster mentioned, the apple employee was unable to scan it. Long story short, they spoke with headquarters and found out that they are not allowed to sell the space black yet and had to send it back. For what it's worth the excuse was, "someone had returned an online order. We checked it in and you reserved it. But it should have never been checked in for sale." I got a free sport band for my headache. Luckily my online order is still supposed to arrive on Thursday.
Pulled the trigger again to try the apple watch for the 2nd time i returned the first time i ordered again I ordered the SS space black model I didn't get a chance to turn it on yet but as soon as opening up the box there was black smudge looking stuff on the white box and heavy dust sitting on the screen of the watch when removing the plastic wrapping I'm worried it might have been a returned watch and sent to me? Any ideas ?
Guys.
Just thought I would give you all some feedback. I'm in the UK.
Watch ordered 11th June, went to Dispatched 22nd June, and delivered 30th June.
I missed the 30th June first delivery, and re-arranged for delivery today.
Turned out to be a good decision, as this morning I also picked up the Nomand Watch Stand from our local post office, shipped from the good old US of A, so stand has only been sat around waiting for the watch for a couple of hours before it arrived.
Here's a PIC
Isn’t' she a beaut.. ?
Hope the rest of you get your watches soon.
Toodle Pip Chaps and Chapesses!
