Same with me. My other two ordered, 38mm SS white sport band and extra cable have shipped. Hopefully I'll get the link bracelett in the next week or two.
I can confirm, after looking this morning, the charge on my credit card is categorized as "Temporary Authorization." This has deflated my hopes! And to think I was tossing and turning all last night out of excitement. Damn you Apple!![]()
My Gift Card was charged on Wednesday evening, but no email or order status change.
As of Thursday morning the money has not been returned to the gift card, but still no email or order status change.
42 Stainless Steel with Link Bracelet.
So is this thread the official SS LinkWatch order thread or just the Link Bracelet? I'm confused

Same date as everyone else. Really disappointing that our selection of watches - top end for the SS - wasn't actually "launching" on release day at all. I feel a bit lied to.
Feels worse that I ordered the SS with link and separately ordered a black sport band for it. If I'd done that the other way around (SS with black sport band and a separate link bracelet), I'd have mine on launch Friday.
Lastly, I ordered a 38 SS with Milanese loop for my wife who is SIGNIFICANTLY less excited than I am about Apple Watch. She wants one, but isn't rabid like I am. Now she'll get hers on Friday (already shows as prepping for ship), while I wait another 3-4 weeks for mine.
I should add that I executed both orders approximately 1-2 min after the Apple Store came back online on April 10th.
Disappointed.
Same boat. If I would have just bought the SS with Sport and a SS Link separately I would have one tomorrow!!!
42 SS link. 3:02 order. 4-6 weeks. No charge. No preparing to ship. And no email of death either. #
Did anyone with their CC charged change to shipped this AM?
I think most of the charges were just temporary again. I know mine, and at least one other person (somewhere back through this forum) had the charge again disappear from our cards. Not sure what that means exactly, but I don't know that I'd completely write off next Friday delivery.
Still nothing on my end. Order is still processing, and no charges on my CC. I have a feeling that this is the end of the line for any launch day arrivals for our watch. I find it hard to believe that those of us who haven't gotten charged yet, will get charged, get a "preparing to ship"/"shipping" status, all within 12 hours. I highly doubt Apple has been holding our watches in a warehouse in the U.S. and are just waiting til afternoon today to start processing orders.
I could be wrong, but I'm just trying to be as realistic as possible. We have until tonight to maybe see any updates.
For reference, I got charged for my girlfriend's 38mm SS Classic Buckle on Monday and this morning I got a shipping notification and tracking #. Both were ordered at 2:03CST on April 10th and are going to the same address, which is why I think my watch won't arrive in time. No reason why they shouldn't be together or at least gotten shipping notices in the same time frame.
42mm SS Link is what I ordered if anyone is wondering.
This is what I was talking about in my above post. I got the shipped email for my wife's watch. Her charge is still pending. Have hope!
The only thing keeping 5% of my hope alive for tomorrow is, like you said, yesterday's movement. I'm sure the people that have gotten charged for it will receive it tomorrow. Apple ever only charges you if your item is going to ship. I'm assuming that was just a small batch of finished Link watches and a very lucky few are going to be getting em, y'all have to remember not everyone who ordered a watch is on these forums.At this point I would be ok with just a delivery next week. Is it safe to say all the 42 SS Link movement that we saw yesterday was nothing?
I hate when people answer a question with 2 possibles answers with simply a "yes"
My wife's watch is in the ups system as scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Her process started Monday and the charge on my Barclaycard is still showing as pending.
My 42 SS link got charged yesterday, still shown as processing and also has the pending charge on the same card.
Now the forum is sad again. Maybe some good news will come today, but I'm still guessing we'll get it before mid May.
