to those planning on buying one, are you going to stay up late to pre-order?

Definitely. Will be using the Apple Store app on my iPad from my bed.

I'd also like to know this. For iPhone 6/6 Plus, wasn't it around 0700, 0800?
I think it's usually around 8:00am in the UK.

I think so. We'll be in BST by then and 0300 EDT is 0800 BST.

iPhone 5 went up for Pre-Order at the same time worldwide, so using Cupertino as a central point, it was 8am in the UK.
iPhone 5S went on Sale at different times worldwide, using midnight as the central point, so it was on sale in Australia before the UK because of time zone difference.
The terminology is key, so given that they've actually said Pre-order, I reckon it'll be worldwide at the same time. So, 8am UK time is my bet

I'm going to try my luck for pre-orders, but I will pick it up in store if they allow that. If I don't get it during pre-orders, I will for sure get to my local store early on the 23rd to camp out. Either way, I'm going to camp out
Camping out is always fun

You can always try the Apple Store App. Its not as buggy on pre order dates.

that is only assuming the website doesn't crash lol. I like to celebrate after I have successfully pre ordered

I'm pretty sure you will be but for your best bet, I reccomend pre ordering on the 10th before they get delayed a month or so.

Download the Apple Store App and pre order by there. It's way quicker as all you have to do is sign in. It doesn't crash as much as Apples website. Also make sure you have pre sexted by default which watch you want by clicking the heart (favourite) and it saves to your account.

Considering 80% of the people here are going for the same color/size/model 42mm space grey sport
I'm more concerned about going out of stock then website issues

Why must the model I want be the most popular? Lol. I hope I can get one and stock doesn't run low like on the iPhone orders. I ended up having to get my second choice. Since this is something I will wear, I either get the exact model I want or I'll wait. I probably won't go wait in line at the store though, I'll just wait until they come back in stock.
Luckily it'll be Midnight here in Cali so I won't have to stay up extra late unless Apple.com goes down. I have never preordered directly from Apple; in fact I got my 6 Plus from Verizon back in Sept. Now you won't even be able to get it through your carrier, you'll have to go direct to Apple.

Yes, just add/save your credit card details.
