The dreaded email of death. 'We're Working on Your Order' [MERGED]

I got the email even though one of my two watches is preparing for shipment, got charged and has a MyChoice tracking.
I agree. I had my order confirmation at 12:03. At least I don't have to refresh my order page any more for updates...
The e-mail reads like Apple wants to remind people that they flat out did not promise that ANYONE would actually get a Watch on launch day.
As I said, it's a *reasonable* assumption.
What exactly is your stake in this? Why are you flipping the ******* out over people interpreting this email in a way that you disagree with? Did you get it yourself? Are you not yet willing to face the possibility that you won't get your Watch on Friday?
I think it's logical that the large, bolded: "We're working on your order." kind of insinuates that the order isn't going to be in our hands Friday. I mean, if it was, what would they need to work on?
What the heck is wrong with you guys? This e-mail states NOTHING NEW about your order. It's the same date range that's in your Order Status page. I'm waiting for my e-mail and haven't got it yet. It also says to check out the videos on Guided Tours.
People, chill.
*clings to the sane person*
Haven't even gotten the email, but the irrationality is freaky.

Charge on card 4/20, but still pending
Haven't seen anything but "processing"
Email of possible death 11:01
It is what it is.

anyone got off with a apple rep yet? tell us their response?
also in the other post someone said
"“Just called apple,tep explained to me that everyone who gets the email is in for the second run ! There are no more watches coming in before friday's delivery ! So this is it guys were all screwed. So mich for staying up and placing an order at 12.03/12.05"

"We're working on your order."
I got the letter as well and order placed less than 5 min after going live. I ordered three watches, but this email from apple as many got was a specific order number which is my daughters pink sports band. They have not charged me for this watch yet.
Having said that apple has charged me for the other two watches in the three I ordered and no such letter sent out on those so thinking the other two will come Friday. The other two watches were the melanese band and white band both SS

I got it too. My eyes lit up until I saw what it was.
I don't think we should jump to conclusions here. Although the "Email of Death" strongly points to a later delivery, it isn't launch day yet. We don't know for a fact if the May and June deliveries are getting theirs on launch day.
I can see the frustration you guys have, but it isn't the 24th yet, so lets try to keep an open mind.
That's what has me so confused. This close to launch and they can't even give people who actually have had their status move from processing a more finite date on when they will receive their watch.
Maybe if they let those people know, they could put those stuck in processing's minds at ease with a more concrete window of a few days versus weeks and there would be no need to send a pointless email reminding people what they already know.
Good! It looks like if we were charged we are all set for launch day delivery! Hope that's the case at least
All of you that have received the Email of Death don't have your Watch Preparing For Shipment right?
I'm beyond pissed at the people here defending Apple and telling everyone to calm down. I've used Apple products since 1992. I bleed Apple. I have a freaking launch day Newton in my desk right now, that works. I've ordered every iPhone and gotten it launch day EVERY time.
All of this could have been avoided had the Store merely said "will ship BY 5/8." We would have all been fine. The fact that they suggested 4/24 as an option, based on all our collective past experiences with launch days, means we assumed 4/24.
Quit defending this crap. "Oh it's a watch, it's special and super duper hard to make and Apple doesn't know how to make them and supply them."
The iPhone has way more moving parts and things to work out.

Got my email as well. I'm guessing this means I won't be receiving mine Friday. I got my order in at 3:05. I just find it hard to believe that supplies are this limited.
