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

You could be right, there is always that possibility. However, my guess is no one who has made it past processing is going to be getting an email like this because they will be getting their watch Friday.
 
Actually guys....I think this could be good. People have gotten this email early today we just got them now. I have a SG 12:04:05 and a Milanese 12:10 I got the email for the SG. From what I've seen so far in the threads it looks like I'm pretty far up the list for the next update since they started 12:03 today. Also....it was mentioned that theres a few planes headed for KY right now from AK.
 
just got the same email in the last minute... i am assuming this is the email of death so to speak,

as I ordered 2 watches, this email specifically mentioned the order number of the watch that is still processing...

my other watch has already been charged by apple and is prep for shipment.

GFG BOYS
 
it shows it's from "Apple Store"

what does Apple Store know about my order? Angela clearly stated that Apple Store will NOT carry Apple Watch. It's like getting a traffic ticket from the Marine Corp.

Pretty sure its because you ordered it from the Apple Store. Apple Store doesn't necessarily mean retail stores
 
:01 order, processing and email of death, :03 order preparing to ship, no email. Not a good sign.
 
I am laughing my ass off.

The sheer absurdity of it all is just too much bare at this point. Superstitious e-mails and all.

And yes, I just got it too.
 
Anyone receive a similar email? Just received it, thought I was finally going to get charged.

I just received this too. Never had an email like this from Apple. Was giving them the benefit of the doubt before, but now pretty convinced this isn't as orchestrated as many have claimed. This is a 'we're scrambling to figure out what we're doing' type of email. It's crowd control.
 
Just got the email of death just now. No watch for me on Friday :(

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, please see our Guided Tour videos.

Apple Watch requires iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, or iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.2 or later. Please take a moment to check that your iPhone is up to date.

Thank you for choosing Apple.

Sincerely,

Apple Store

Is your order stuck at processing?
 
42mm SG, order confirmation at 12:04, just got the email. My heart skipped a beat, only to be dashed to pieces :(

I’ve accepted I’m (probably) not getting it Friday, I just wish I had some idea when it was coming. The waiting with no information is the worst part...
 
You could be right, there is always that possibility. However, my guess is no one who has made it past processing is going to be getting an email like this because they will be getting their watch Friday.


An email like WHAT? It says your delivery window is 4/24-05/08.

I feel like I am surrounded by crazy pod people right now.
