I doubt I'll be in the next batch. Seems to be roughly :30 sec a batch and as we get later, I suspect there are more of us. To get through an entire 2 mins is asking a great deal. Thanks for making me feel special though, do you see a pattern I'm not seeing to run counter? I'd love to be wrong.
Got a tip for us?

It seems they've been working on the xx:03 confirmations so I figure it's close.
I ordered from NYC with confirmation time of 3:06:48 AM EST. Should I just give up hope of getting my Watch this week? I'm leaving for California next weekend so debating whether I should change my shipping address, and if so, how long I should wait to do that
I've seen several people report here that their delivery window was pushed back an extra two weeks by simply changing their delivery address. If you want to do this I would advise calling Apple and speak with a rep to get verification that you can change the address without it pushing your delivery back.
I know for a fact by looking up when my 42MM SS BSB was made in the week of April 15th, that crazy close to a release date. They must of had some type of production issues or something wrong with the company who was previously manufacturing them.
Mine shipped out this morning with a expected delivery of the 27th, I am in the states in Kentucky. I preordered around 12:03am PST, but I called Apple to confirm my time. The time I was told was 00:03:27 so I don't if thats any help. I was charged last night as well.
Maybe there was some flaws in the models they made, I don't know. I definetely know that we will have a better and more subperb model then probably the reviewers and such if they shifted companies so quickly.
I was under the impression that Apple began production in January, so I don't know why my serial number on my watch recognizes as the week of April 15th.

You must have money to burn. More cents than sense. I want my watch but not so badly that Im willing to pay more for one purchased on eBay. No way for me, sir. I'll patiently wait until 5/8 and continue to deal with Apple.

I don't know. Yesterday we were tracking the only flight from China to anchorage I think it was UPS77 and it landed around 5:45pm eastern. We were all waiting to get charged because a few days before a plane landed about the same time and at around 6:15pm Eastern people started getting charged. So yesterday the same flight comes in and 6:15 comes and goes and no one gets charged and we are all pissed. Then at around 10:15pm eastern all the charges blow up. So who knows.

Yeah it seems to be 30 seconds a batch around. I am at 04:12 so I am hoping to be next batch. The pattern seems to be when flights come from
China and we get charges around 6-10pm. We won't see anything tonight since there are no flights from CN.
:03 min 47 seconds is when my email confirmation came. Still processing.
It's shows the seconds if you try to forward to email. You do t have to actually sent it. Just hit the forward button and it will give you seconds also.
I agree. I felt bad enough spending $599 in the first place. No way I'm paying scalper prices for it.
Affirmative. Good to know. Another few nights and we should be able to see a few more patterns. It does seem pretty regular regarding flights in and out of AK.
Can you please check when exactly your order confirmation came in please. Hit the forward email button on the confirmation email and it will show you minutes and seconds.
Wow that's terrifying. What if I attempted to contact UPS and change the shipping address once it's already preparing for shipping? I was reading that I could pay to have that done, but I haven't noticed anybody on the forum who's done that.
And we have confirmation that today's departure location has no watch manufacturing? We could start a nasty Internet rumor today's location ONLY builds SS models.
Go to the apple order confirmation email, hit the forward email button as if you are going to forward it to someone and it will show you seconds.
I find these forum threads and studying the distribution process wickedly entertaining. Have always marveled at how rollouts work and we are getting an opertunity through shared data to re-engineer the process. Some might be frustrated, but this is a unique time point in the operation.
