From my quick glancing at the UK order thread, no joy for the 42mm BSB for them either. Their charges on cards just started
In the UK and seeing lots of charging posts. No joy for either the 42 or 38 mm SS Black Sports Band. (I ordered the 38mm.) So it doesn't seem to be just the 42mm.
If it's coming to you tomorrow and you're in TN, my chances that a lot of stuff are in Louisville. My money going with UPS for delivery.
My worry was that there was an issue with the card/bank system. But now that has diminished and instead, I'm worried I might spend the money before they finally charge me. I know, I know. Poor money management. I'm a guy. Sue me. (You won't get much).
In all reality, the money will be there. I just wish they'd hurry up and take it.

Confirmation 3:06 AM EST, 42 Stainless steel with black sports.
No "preparing for shipping," no hold on credit card.

Here is my completely unscientific guess about why the stainless steel black sports band watches are the last to get charged. Maybe Apple is comfortable that it can meet the demand for the 4/24-5/8 group.
The other watches are either much more popular or had fewer numbers originally made (again, just a guess) and they are charging them first to weed out any problems to sure the largest number of orders can be successfully processed. Apple, therefore, wants a little extra time to make sure their inventory of the other watches is optimized.

I'm in the UK and I ordered the 42 SS with Black Sport at around 15:40, which is 7h 40m after pre-order started. I still managed to get a 12/05-26/05 delivery window when pretty much every other model had changed to "June"
Ur right, but the fact that we are ALL in the same boat with a model that is arguably the most popular in the SS line, there has to be a ton of stock somewhere waiting to ship. Which is why we haven't been notified yet. They are sitting in warehouses, already at their destination location. And since they are shipping next day air, they really don't have to do too much preparing. I'm confident we're gonna see updates soon. But maybe even tomorrow.
I'd believe you if you said the white sports band, which I believe is what he has.
And the 38mm ss sb was available hours after preorders opened here in the U.S. Thus my theory that Apple is comfortable they have the inventory available for the 4/24-5/8 group.
But there are still plenty of people that ordered other watches within the first few minutes, have the first shipping window, and haven't been charged yet either. So just like our watches there's are probably much closer to home.

Not that anyone cares but I happen to have placed the exact same two orders lol! And likewise I have had zero movement, no card charges, nada.
