UK here, e-mail confirmation at 08:02:45 and nothing so far. Just sitting as processing and my available fund hasn't changed. Current delivery dates of 12th May - 26th May.
 
At what point do you think the space black SS link bracelet will have some progress?

All in the title, just wondering if anyone had any information, especially as the silver SS started going to "preparing" last night
 
When do you think the space black SS link bracelet will start to move?

All in the title really, suprise this model hasn't had anything yet?
 
Why do you guys think there has been no progress on this model at all?

We're actually not alone - the leather loop bands are also experience "no movement". Our close cousins - the Link bracelet - only recently started getting movement which we see as good news!

It definitely appears Apple is working through different models at a time, even different countries are experience different processing times.

I guess the more other models are processed, the closer we are :) We'll be next soon :cool:
 
I (hope) think that we will see sole changement beginning tomorrow, or at least monday!
Fingers crossed

We can only hope. I just hate that nobody with this configuration has seen zero movement. I'm scheduled for a 5/13-527 so hopefully they will start rolling out to us.

Because of the things already mentioned several times.

Supply chain logistics ultimately. We know it's the slowest model to complete. Making these is a game of tetris. You can argue all you want about fairness, launch dates and availability, un-Apple culture, price value relationships etc...

But at the end of the day when you can crank out 5 Sport watches in the time it takes to make one of ours you're going to make that trade off, especially when you're staring down millions of preorders. You're going to make the most people happy you can.

Totally agree with everything you said and makes the best sense in a business aspect to Apple. They would rather have the few of us wait then having the millions wait on the budget models. Easier to get them out to the masses anyway.
 
So does anyone think there's any hope for us getting our watches on 4/24?

I can't say with 100% certainty but I am assuming no at this time since nobody has been charged yet and or see any movement on this watch at all. Heck the people with just the stainless steel link are barely seeing any. I think we probably will get them before our estimated time but I am not to hopeful for a Friday launch deliver unless a miracle happens. I will keep my fingers crossed.
 
42MM SSB w/Link. Couldn't get into the store immediately, confirmation email received at 2:06 Central. June.
 
I just completed the UPS track by reference and found my tracking number. Slated to be delivered by 3PM tomorrow. My Apple update still says, prepared to be shipped. I am in the wrong forum. Sorry for the mis-information.

I have a feeling that you are referring to a different model watch.
