I thought this whole time I was a 3:07 and I'm actually a 3:13 order, and my card has been charged with "Preparing for Shipment" showing on my Apple Store order now. What is the normal turnaround from card being charged to watch being delivered for most people??

I take it you mean x:13 ... - 13 minutes after pre-orders started,
and not x3:13 - 3 hours 13 mins after pre-orders started.

13 minutes after - I remember now the Apple Store webpage was down until :07 and I had to use it because I had a $150 gift card. So, when the SS Link watches showed 2-4 weeks I went to look at the other models to see the wait times.
 
Finally!

Question to all. Had you known that we would be going through this aggravation, on April 10 as you ordered the SS Link Watch, would you have ordered a "cheap" Sport as well to have it on 4/24 and start playing with it sooner? Based on our times, we all could easily have had one by now.

When I saw the long ship time I ordered the watch with a sport band to have it on day one. Then ordered the link band separate.

To be fair, people already knew that when they saw 4-6 week shipping at the start of preorder, and some did go that route (or get a different SS model and ordered the link bracelet separately).

I'm not that desperate so I didn't bother, and I didn't want the hassle of having to sell the Sport.
 
It's just killing me inside knowing that my watch is out for delivery and I'm stuck at work til 5! I think I know what I'll be doing on my lunch break! Lol

I feel your pain - mine has a delivery window of 12:45 - 16:45. I have to leave for the airport at 1:30... not back until late Thursday. The thought of it possibly sitting at home for two days while I am away is, well, stressful :(
But after what we have been through the last few weeks, I guess I can handle it :cool:

Had I known I would have ordered the SS Link watch on 4/10 instead of ordering the SS Milanese loop watch at xx:03 and then canceling it on 4/12. Consequently ordering the SS LInk watch on 4/18. I could have had the Link watch now instead of June!

Very true. Not sure why I didn't think of that then. People are selling their order positions on ebay so I don't think you'd have any trouble getting rid of the Sport.
 
If anyone is interested, here's a quick form to try to analyze the distribution of orders based on order confirmation time, size, geo, etc.

I've added an item for the Space Black version as well.

Had to get a steering wheel shot.... The second hand of course matching the GMC logo! Loving it so far!!!! Hope to see more of your orders fulfilled today! Thanks for keeping me entertained through the wait!

I should really stay away from the forums as my hopes were high for today but looks like it might be later.

Keep the information coming so I can plan the rest of my week accordingly.

The form assumes 4/10 orders only. Correct?
