SS 42mm BSB:

Just received AMEX CC charge around 10:15pm EDT Friday with Preparing for Shipment around 11pm.

I live in Northern VA near Dulles airport.

No other change in status.
 
In the UK... still absolutely nothing :(

The fact that a lot of people here seem to have got it is really disheartening... but hopefully I'll be in the next group to get theirs.
 
The watches are being made to order. Apple didn't build up a large inventory of each watch model. They only had a limited supply of the watches for the pre-orders and they knew that which is why they gave us a delivery window of 4/24 - 5/8 unlike launches of previous products. If you just happened to select a watch model that they did not have enough of in your geographic area then you were out of luck for receiving a watch by 4/24. Since they have exhausted that initial supply, the rest of us now have to patiently wait for Apple to ramp up the production of many more watches for delivery. Except now they can use the pre-order sales numbers as a guide for manufacturing the right mix of watches to now make and deliver.

My order changed to ship here in Canada. No confirmation email, tracking not working yet, no idea when it will arrive.
 
I'm this close to paying 2x to a local eBay seller to put this nightmare behind me.

This is the worst Apple product experience I've ever had.
 
I ordered mine at 1204:43 pst and still no change. Seems that everyone with a black band is out of luck. Should have went with white. It would have been nice to know.
 
I'm just beyond frustrated with all of this. Now they aren't even shipping the watches overnight, as if those of us who ordered minutes after the other's aren't worth overnight shipping after launch day. It's just not right.

When I ordered, I clicked the button for shipping options and only had one. I didn't have a choice. Believe me, I would pay extra for faster shipping. In a heartbeat.


Really? I definitely remember the option but since I was sure I was getting it the 24th because i ordered so early I don't really think about it much.

Ordered two Watches. Email confirmations were:

3:08am 38mm. received it yesterday afternoon.

Located in Vermont.
 
Not possible I am in Portland 00:04:02 and I haven't seen any movement at all. If what you are saying is true then they are not going in order.

The emails have a lot of things that can delay them between apples servers and your inbox. Email time will not accurately reflect where you are in line, especially when dealing with a minute.
