I think it goes to show, anyone that should be getting charged today - if your bank is open, giving them a call to know this is coming may not be a bad idea at all!! :)

I've called my bank 4 times since placing the order to let them know.

42mm SSSB xx:03 confirmation USA
NO CHANGE
 
I ordered on April 10th at 3:02 am CST
Email confirmation at 3:03 April 10th
42mm
Order is still processing :(
Wondering if I'll see a change today
Also still no charge on CC yet
 
Yep, but you'll likely lose a couple days before you get it.

You'll need to call UPS as soon as you get your tracking number - unless you have UPS My Choice - maybe you can do a forward for all UPS deliveries before you have the tracking number? (maybe then you won't lose any time?)

I read in another thread it will cost a few extra pounds/dollars and might delay delivery by 1 day.

Thanks guys. I'm supposed to go out of town Thursday morning. I probably have time to pick it up from the ups store as long as I can get it when they open.
 
Yeah, I also got declined. Evidently, the credit card companies also do not understand why it took so long for these orders to process :)

Whoops...missed the "straightened it out" part. :) Glad you did!!

Yeah, got Wells to lift it, didn't need to call, order status page let me reauthorize the same card and it went through fine. See the charge on my end now.
 
Again, guys, we've seen an :04 charged. So, everyone before that will be part of this batch. (provided they process us the same as the other "rarities") - pretty much a given, they will.

I'm hoping they actually process the first hour - for the SB w LB's, they processed the first 95 minutes for the 42mm's!!

Why would it be declined if it takes too long? Don't get it. My Amex has never been declined for that reason.

I was saying that a little tongue in cheek. The real reason is probably the amount of the charge and the fact it occurred in the middle of the night. Must have triggered the fraud alert.

It's probably pretty rare to have the preauth for a transaction a month or more from the charge. We've see a lot of cards doing this for the other groups.

This. Many financial institutions have a 30 day max window for these sorts of things. At least Apple has a very straightforward process so you don't have to lose your place in line.
 
Here is to hoping that I get charged soon! No changes as of yet.

XX:03 PST
Confirm - USA 5/13-5/27

That makes sense.

My card has never declined anything that I've done, but if I thought I was getting charged today, I'd be calling them just to make damn sure. :)
 
In any event, congrats to those getting their watch tomorrow. I'll keep on waiting for any movement of my account. 3:02 time of death.
 
How are the Aussies going?

5:02pm Confirmation
42MM
25/5 - 5/6 Delivery

Still Processing :(

Adelaide: I ordered over the phone as it went live but somehow ended up with "June"
Still Processing!! :(
Although my wife got her SS WSB on 24th (same order)
 
Charged and preparing for shipment!

xx:02 order
42mm
Account charged
Massachusetts

Finally!
 
Status changed to Preparing for Shipment. 42mm :02 confirmation. The long journey will soon be over for all!! Time for the real party to begin.
 
My order confirmation arrived at 8.05 and I've had no change yet.....

42mm SB SS Link
UK
12 May -26 May

Interestingly the extra sport band I ordered separately afterwards also shows 8.05 on the confirmation email...... but this was definitely done after the watch (so likely watch order was actually earlier and there was a delay on the email receipt).
