42 mm Stainless Steel Black Shipping Status

This has got to be the loneliest thread in all of MacRumors for the Apple Watch.


Well we may have good news still coming, a bunch of people are reporting their 4-6 week SS Link orders are being charged! Who knows, we may be next!
 
I think they are moving through most popular or lower end to least popular or higher end. Since the SS link (regular) are getting charged, we may be later tonight / tomorrow morning. I sure hope so!

I think so too so don't give up hope everyone, launch day delivery could still happen.

Oh lawrdy it's finally happening. And yeah that makes sense logistically, though it did throw us link bracelet folks for a loop while we panicked these last few days.
 
It's worth the wait. Slickest model by far, and I anticipated there would be some backlog on these even before I got my July estimate.

... sure would be nice to be able to wear it for my May wedding though! It'd look great with my suit.
 
I really hope I wake up and there's a freaking charge to my card. This first time I've been so anxious for an almost 1200 charge to hit my card
 
Maybe we will get lucky there are 4 ups planes that will be landing soon in Kentucky hope our stuff is on there
 
Well at least there is some movement happening for 42mm regular SS Links. They were in the same boat as us. 4-6 weeks from the onset. This is good news for the SS blacks. Hopefully someone sees something soon.
 
42mm Space Black ordered 4/10 at 12:11am pacific. "Available to ship: June" Credit card has not been charged and order status is "Processing items".
 
A 00:06 Confirmation SB SS "June" preorder here...

Anyone get the "Email of Death" like some of the the 4/24-5/8 folks are receiving now?

At this point I'd be happy with any email update...

No EoD but no signs otherwise either. 12:03 42mm SS Black.
 
I haven't received this message but i also have an earlier delivery than you as well mine is 5/13-5/27 no movement yet
 
So there is something else interesting going on now in these forums.

Apparently a lot of people who ordered watches in certain categories like space grey sport and Milanese who have not moved from processing are now getting this so called "email of death" from Apple.

People think it's Apples way of reminding them of their shipping window and that they didn't promise 4/24 delivery. There are some users who ordered 2 watches where one has already been charged, and the other is stuck on processing. The email they got only referenced the watch that was labeled as processing.

All in all I hope we don't receive this email yet until the first small wave of space blacks get some movement on their orders soon...I speculate this because regular links are now getting some movement.
 
This might be a good thing fer us. I haven't gotten any email of death. Anyone else with a black link bracelet get a eod?

I think you meant 5/13-27... but I digress. Welcome to the club.
