Just a heads up, I was charge around 5:30AM HST. The order got called for fraudulent activity because the apple pay token wasn't redeemed for a while I guess. Called and had everything sorted out and was told the item should be shipping out by Tuesday guaranteed. Hopefully everyone has some success for the next couple of days.
Never received the EOD email and my order time was 12:03:12 PST. Order is being sent to Hawaii.

I got my tracking number on Saturday morning when I woke up, but still 'not found' in UPS.
mine shipped yesterday, took a few hours then the tracking went live. It left Louisville earlier today for delivery tomorrow.
I disagree
I wanted it in 4/24
But, .... When we bought it it clearly said delivers 4/24-5/8
Why do we have to say Apple is wrong when they covered their butts from the beginning?
So you bought it to showboat, not use? I don't understand this.
Ive been spending a crazy amount of time on these forums this past week, and all week I get to hear about all this 'sky is falling' BS. This is the first product that I can recall ever ordering and not getting on first day. But who gives a crap if you get it later. Didn't you order it cause of the functions, not the status?
I might get mine on Monday, or Tuesday or Wednesday...or maybe it will get lost and I won't get it at all, but I assure you the sun will rise, and set. And when I get it, i will use it, cause thats what I bought it for. Period.

This. Exactly.
...Including Apple's statement the minute you ordered. Its not a bait and switch, they told you straight out.

Actually, yes...a HUGE part of waking up in the middle of the night to be one of the first one to preorder is the fact that USUALLY we are the very first ones to have them. This is something we enjoy. We like it when most people are unfamiliar or haven't seen one and ask us about it. We enjoy being that person. If we didn't care when we received it, we all would have slept until regular hours, got up, ordered it and forgot about it until it arrived. That is not what this is about for the people who have waited through years of rumors of an Apple Watch arriving. I'm really very sorry if you, or anyone else, doesn't understand that, or if you think we're just arrogant *******s, but those couldn't be further from the truth. Some people get excited about cars, some people get excited about gardening...we get excited about Apple's new toys. Deal with it. I'm sick and tired of some people coming in here acting like something is wrong with us or that we are behaving irrationally. We know we will live if we don't receive it, but receiving it weeks after most of the other people who ordered one wasn't our goal with this. We aren't mad at Apple, just disappointed that we can't partake in the first-few-days enjoyment like so many others are getting to. With that, I'm done. Be haters if you must, but you obviously just...don't...get...it.
On the contrary. I am the same way, I love being that guy too, but only so much is in our control. This isn't, and we have to deal with it. I was awake 5-6 times last week hitting refresh to see if something changed on my order, and it didn't.
I don't think we are *******s, or anyone else, but the idea that drives me crazy is that if something happens and the watch shows up later, that its useless?
I so agree with this. Some expect more than they should. I realize some will disagree. Stay calm. Grab a paper bag and breathe
Me too at XX:11
I don't regret it though because I probably wouldn't have bought the SS version if I was paying for all of it myself ;-)
Your use of "We' is pretty liberal there.
And don't be shocked when comments like that receive a reaction. No one has said a word because people are excited to receive their Apple Watch, only that a lot of people on here have acted like Apple has somehow deceived them or murdered their child.
The timelines were very clear from the start. It's unfortunate and of course everyone wants something sooner, but that isn't reality. Clearly some people can deal with that far better than others.
