12:03, using the Apple Store app, no Apple pay (reg credit card). no charges, no shipping progress.
I just wonder where the watches are coming from? It would be surprising if they were already in the states of the US customers
A few commenters on this thread have described 38mm cases and/or Milanese bands (as their sole orders). Check the thread title, folks.
They better not have taken my black sport band to allocate more to the space grey watch that sold out so quickly.

That's what I wonder: not reallocation specifically, but just the reported very high demand for the black sport band. (Someone also noted that basically all of the usable demo Watches in Apple Stores are "our Watch" as well.) Is all that going to hurt us?
42mm SS with Black Sports Band - email confirmation at 2:02am CST - Apple Pay- no movement of charge or status
The ones I saw are saying they ordered two watches, the SS with black sport AND one with a milanese band but have only been charged for the milanese. This seems pretty on-topic to me.
I find this weird, considering our model is the de-facto display model. Which would mean that before launch, our model would be the most produced model?
That's the one I ordered and my confirmation email was at 3:02 a.m. Eastern Time and within the last hour my AMEX card was charged and my status changed to "Preparing for Shipment".
I'll be following this thread closely as I am in the May 13th-29th group and would love for everyone in he first batch to get theirs Friday so I can get mine quicker!!!!
I ordered 42mm ss white band saying will ship in June hopefully I get it in May I will stalk my phone credit card and mailman until then
There's no replacement of bands at this point. All this stock was already packaged and finalized.
Maybe all the other models are being shipped from China and because Apple is using SS 42mm with the black band for their demos, they shipped a ton of them and they are sitting at warehouses. Meaning we all get Friday delivery!
A man can dream...

Maybe a lot of ours are already in the US(for US orders of course) at warehouse ready to ship.
if thats the case we may not see any changes until Wednesday or Thursday
Of course they could only have so many already in the States so there could be some in the later part of the first wave who get theres shipped from China.
42mm stainless with black sports band. Order confirmation was 2:05am central time.
I originally charged it to my AMEX. I called Apple the next day and had most of the charges transferred to gift card.
There is no charge on my AMEX yet and Passbook still shows the full balance on the gift card.

In a weird way it's good that no one has been charged yet. Who knows what their charging method is.
But in another way, I wonder if the ss models are behind in production and might miss that 4/24 date and stretch into May.
Who knows!
