Who has all had it? Where did the rumour that if you get it you're not gonna get it on launch day start? I can't imagine that being the case!

Incidentally, I haven't had it.......yet. Curious that's all.

It's not a rumour. It's fact.

Do you really think people just come onto internet forums and make stuff up?
 
This is the email of death:

Dear Batman,

Your Apple Watch will be delivered between April 24th and May 8th. When your order ships, we'll send you an email with a specific delivery date and tracking information.

To help you get started and learn about the amazing things you can do with Apple Watch, view these Guided Tour videos.

Appears to have been sent to us in the UK who have yet to be charged for 24/4-8/5 orders.

And the rumour is, if you get this you won't get a watch on Friday.

I take that as "No, you aren't getting it on Friday."

Edit: Milanese 42 / 3:08AM confirmation
 
"We're working on your order"

Anyone receive a similar email? Just received it, thought I was finally going to get charged.

This is the second thread I've seen where people assume this means no Friday delivery, but I don't understand why. It looks like a typical new-product email
