who order a 42mm Stainless Steel Apple watch with Black sports

[Baseline]

I originally posted this yesterday in a different thread. It's more relevant here though, and while I had movement on my watch last night, I know many of you are waiting. Enjoy

===============
Here we remain, the lost, the forgotten. The lovers of stainless steel. The long vigils of our compatriots have come to an end, their wrists freshly adorned.

We sit, we wait. Not waiting for a time, as we have no way to tell what the time is, but for an event. A charge, a withdrawal, anything.

The glimmer of steel stays across the ocean.

I'm 2:03:48 so I'm towards the later 03s :/

That said, how the hell are :04, :05, etc. orderers getting theirs charged?!

Combination of crappy mail providers changing the time on the message to time delivered (happens a lot with comcast emails and yahoo, etc.) as well as other countries processing further in the timeline because they had less orders per second and more watches relative to orders.

I just chatted with an Apple rep and she confirmed my order on their end for 12:03 PDT. I received my confirmation email at 12:03:44 PDT. I think it's pretty safe to say that you receive your confirmation mail within the minute of you actually ordering it, so you can go by the time that the email was received.

No charge, no change.

:04 here. No charge, no nada.

Those were Canadian orders. Different logistics.

Yes, it all depends on the country. Canadian orders are into the x:08s, I believe. The farthest I've seen in the US is x:04. I'm x:05 so I hope I'm in the next batch. I never realized I could be so antsy over a new toy, although it does make me feel better to know there are many more like me (I'm new to this thread stuff).

I'm on my iPad and don't know what my seconds are but I'm also from Tennessee with an 03 confirmation and nothing heard on my order but the EOD.

Guys, when posting the time, it's important to include the SECONDS and COUNTRY. This will help us guage how much closer we are. It will also be interesting to see if we catch them going out of line. Remember it's by Country, so city, state doesn't matter according to Apple. In order to find out the exact time, you can either call Apple, use their Chat or look at the Mail headers (Google for how to look at the headers as it varies on your mail client, browser, service, etc.).

For example mine in Military time:

US 00:04:12 No Charge Yet.

Go......

Do you think each model/band also has it's own timing queue? So a SGB at :05 might get sent out before a :03 SS?

 

[81s]

So the guy I'm chatting with at Apple just said "Thanks for your patience! My supervisor also checked her their supervisor just to be sure you are receiving the correct information. 5:56 means 5:56 am PST."

I'm going to hope that you guys are right and it's military time and not regular time.

Supply would be different for each of the difference configurations so they would have their own timing queues.

 

[kennedyteeth]

USA, Tennessee 00:04. EOD, no charge.

Could be. Make sense. There's isn't any horrible wait on the sport blues for example.

USA 00:06:12

 

[shortcut3d]

I'm :05 and in the U.S. so I suspect a few days out.

I guess 05 means +5 days after launch.

I'm in the same club.

 

[JoJack82]

Dumb question but how do you know that exact time? I received my email confirmation stamped at 12:05. I assume my order went in around 12:03-12:04?

I think people are quoting the email notification time. Which is not very accurate but it's all we got.

----------

So do they process through Alaska first and prep to ship there? Or in Louisville?

They will likely process at various UPS Supply Chain Solutions warehouses thought North America. For example my last package from Apple originated in Concord, ON which is likely just the UPS SCS warehouse

00:04:12 - United States - Processing

Just find your order email and hit forward and then look at the time stamp before you send it, it'll give you the seconds.

Mine went into "Preparing to Ship" overnight. 42mm SS BSB ordered at 3:02am

 

[dysert]

03:38 still processing

 

[bige12]

I think they still do credit card charge over the weekend, but shipping is probably not until the Week day, I could be wrong

What was your time in seconds. What country?

The email delivery time could vary on a lot of things. The emails could be queued outbound on one of apples busy servers, could be queued inbound on a spam gateway of mail server. email time is really not a great indicator of order time when you get down to the seconds or a few minutes.

My first confirmation emails says 02:06:00 CST. (which would deb 00:06:00 PST). I talked to Apple and they said that, on their side, the order want through at 5:56, which I've been told is 00:05:56 PST. This would only leave 4 seconds from when Apple posted my order to when I received my email, correct? That seems fast for such a busy server.
