If anyone who's watch had already shipped is still around, when did they let you know that it had shipped? Did it coincide directly with the UPS plane taking off?

How long did it take to go from PFS to Shipped?

For me, it hit my card on Friday and was changed to PFS about an hour after that. About 12 hours after that, I got noticed it was shipped. Received on Monday.

Looks like quite a few flights coming in to Louisville. Hopefully that's a good sign

It's definitely a good sign as far as moving through the orders in front of you goes, but if your watch was on one of those planes, I believe you'd be PFS by now.

As for my watch, yeah, I assume it's on one of the flights headed from Asia to Alaska right now.
 
Delivered! Now the only thing between me and my watch is an afternoon meeting and Atlanta traffic. I wonder if my boss would believe that I'm not feeling too well...

Idk, I've had several watches shipped to me so far. It seems to me that I usually get the charge while the watch is somewhere between ANC and SDF. The status will then change to PFS after it has landed in SDF. About 8-12 hours later the status changes to shipped. This has been my experience.

Interesting! I guess it's a guessing game until I get the tracking number.
 
Sweet! Just got my tracking number. Although it's not in UPS's system yet, the email from Apple says it'll be delivered tomorrow! Gotta love technology.

I wonder if this explains why the processing has slowed down the past few days. Maybe last week they decided to blast through a large chunk of the preorders by shipping directly from China, and now they are back to shipping stateside. Hopefully they will be back on track tomorrow.
 
Really so all the movement for the day was one guy getting shipped ? :(

Well, to be fair, there were only two orders in the spreadsheet for today and it's possible the other guy hasn't updated his information. I'm sure today was an average shipping day by Apple. We just didn't have as many orders on this forum today.

After doing some analysis of my six previous Apple Watch orders. All charges hit my CC between 10:16 pm and 1:10 am EST, they all then shipped 12-14 hours later and arrived the very next day. So chances are that if you don't get charged by 1 am EST you won't be getting your watch for another couple business days. I hope this helps. Fyi, full discloser...3 were gifts and the other 3 were sold for small profit of $75 each.

I have yet to receive my actual watch. Hopefully I get a charge tonight...fingers crossed. My purchase date was 5/5.
 
I took around 36 hours to go from PFS to Shipped, but that was over a weekend.

Also, for what it's worth, my watch showed up running 1.0.1, and is really awesome. Worth waiting for!
 
Well my 42mm Steel BSB still hasn't gone to PFS yet but I just received my 42mm Milanese today and my 42mm Classic Buckle went to PFS this evening. My 42mm Link is still in processing. This whole thing is really aggravating.

My 42mm Milanese took the same amount of time from PFS to Shipped over the weekend as well. But once it shipped from Shanghai it arrived the very next day in Florida.
