Seeing you on other threads.. You've made this night that much easier for us "processing/ers"
I already gave an instance that of this exact thing happening with the gold iphones. Sorry wake up to reality, not going to happen. Going to be a very quiet thread tomorrow when we see no movement on the SG sport watches sorry.
Dude, it's a theory.. No one here is saying for sure it's happening.. Holy hell.. Have some damn optimism.. You must be the life of the party....
I hope this theory is true for most of you guys who are still waiting.. I was in the same boat till this afternoon, but mine is still stuck at PA for a San Diego, CA delivery , and apple push notification said, i will get it tomorrow.
So there is still time left if mine is still at PA. May be FedEx have everything local, not like UPS where they shipping CA orders from PA, and vice versa.

Could be another part of the really big puzzle.
Maybe they needed to wait for this last shipment of non SpaceGray SKUS,
to then load the SG out to where they need to go.
The flights from Fedex appear to start leaving Memphis around 2:00-4:00am, so should no then if no info.
There's about a million domestic flights landing and leaving Memphis in the next couple hours.
Can any Macrumors sleuths do a quick search to see if flights LEAVING Memphis are delayed going to their respective locations?
If so, it could be conceivable that they are waiting for 96 to come in, offloaded, and loaded onto their routes.
This would also explain the lack of charges and Preparing shipment notifications.

Please try to be civil and if you don't have anything relevant to this thread don't attack the poster.
Excatly. That would be first scan, the moment they get into FedEx's possession, they're no longer Apple's responsibility and the cat is out of the bag.
Whether FedEx updates us right away is another story.
Re: credit card charges, some have reported their re-charges from earlier this week actually fell off already, and some reported that on the iPhone 6, the final charged didn't appear until close to monday.
SO. That being said, these things could show up literally out of nowhere.
Possibly.
Have you ever ordered overnight before? This happens every night, they leave Memphis late, get to your city btw 6-7, on the truck by 8.
I kinda buy this theory.
My order completed within 10 minutes of the site going live. I ordered 42mm SS Classic Buckle. My wife ordered on her own account 38mm SS Milanese. Her Apple Watch was shipped out on Tuesday via UPS, and is showing up in the system as at the airport right now.
I haven't seen a anyone mention getting a notification for Fedex.
I'm curious if present a bunch of Apple Watches into Fedex distribution, and has it set for doing the deliveries after the fact. Sounds crazy, but Dell actually used a very very similar method with their computer manufacturing for things like monitors. We studied it back when I was in college, it was called something along the lines of Just In Time Logistics.

Look at fedex 96 history. It started flying April 11th... the day after preorders. I bet this flight has been ferrying watches over in huge batches.
LOL. You are the one that are one that doesn't have anything to say that is relevant to this thread. You're just being negative. Please take your negativity to another thread.
If I remember correctly this happened with my iPhone 3Gs. I was sitting at home and thought well this is never showing up and then I saw the FedEx guy arrive.
