In general is there a large shortage of Stainless Steel models? What I mean are they hard to come by? Mostly all the video I've seen on YouTube have been just Sport editions
Was it showing as per Apple the 27th then UPS delivered yesterday? Cause that would make me-->
I want to do that too. Place a new order on the white band stainless steel and which ever one gets prepared to ship and shipped first, I will cancel the other one.
I ordered at 00:03:27 and I am prepping for shipping yesterday and got charged as well
Congrats, though as a Brit who got a confirmation 3 minutes before you I'm a bit surprised/confused as to how yours has shipped before others.
Ordered at 3:02, received email at 3:03 on the east coast. Got charged and flipped to preparing for shipment last night.

Completed Apple CSR chat to verify time my order was logged into the system correctly. Apple's time matched my confirmation email of 12:10:30.
I asked her if she would pass on some feedback. She said yes. I noted that in-store pickup should not have been displayed if Apple was not going to allow in-store pickup. Trying to get in-store pickup to work on both iPhone app and online cost me 6 minutes to place order and 2 more minutes for confirmation email to arrive. This moved my Watch from launch day to 4-6 weeks. Apple needs better messaging and should not enable in-store pickup if it is not an option. I have been first in line at many of my store's launches and generally in first ten. Farthest back was original iPhone when I was 64. Made all iPhone launches but 2 and several iPad launches including first iPad.
Apple CST said she would pass on feedback and asked if I would do the same and she would give me the chat ID. Said yes. The feedback page is Apple's standard feedback page but for the Watch. I completed the form and added chat ID. Lesson learned.

That I can live with. His was 3:09 EST. I can't put my finger on that one.
That's me. XX:03 in Columbus, OH
EOD on Wednesday
No charge or movement of any kind
Hoping for news today or Monday but not betting on it.
The only issue I have with this is, we are not in 1996 anymore, APPLE is one of the most successful companies in the world with a loyal fan base, forgetting the two week pre order window, I'm taking a guess that apple has enough money to carry out market research, there is no excuse for later orders being shipped before 1st day orders...
Again as an apple loyalist myself I'm willing to let a bad launch slide but can you name me a successful Apple launch since iPhone 4, and on that very note, should Apple not have learned from their previous mistakes.
This is the infamous APPLE WATCH, people were talking about this years before Apple announced it, the hype was always going to be huge.....an inventory was not only common sense but fundamental
Canadian order bud. That's why. In the U.S., we're around the 00:03:30 mark. Canada, they're in 00:09:00. Could be later.
Canada, eh.
From the sound of it each country has there own "line" for each model.
Who knows though, yours could get thru the process and arrive before his does still
Well , my pending AppleCare charge just dissapeared from my card details.. Now I don't know what that means, but it's probably not good.
Wow, that jumped a lot of order minutes, from roughly 4/5 to 9.
What was your original delivery date timeframe?
I'm going to be a true American right now.
I'm going to watch a movie and eat a whole pizza by myself. I could shed a tear or two. Maybe my watch will ship at some point.

Same thing happened to me. I triple checked with apple and they said that everything was good and on schedule. Assuming the same thing with you. Still see the charge on apple pay though.
Thanks, U.S. EDT, correct?

Ahh, Canadian is EST and U.S. is EDT, thanks.
