who order a 42mm Stainless Steel Apple watch with Black sports

I ordered a 42 mm SS Watch w/ black sport band at 12:03am on 4/10 and am still seeing processing. At least I'm not alone ;)

I haven't see another wave of charges beyond the first one. Thats honestly the only thing worrying me. We should be seeing waves of charges if this was a credit card processing issue.
 
As mentioned in another thread, it might be that the black sport SS are already in their central hubs or release countries, as they seemed to be a popular configuration.

I was an AVP for Wells Fargo. I have read news articles estimating pre-sales anywhere from 1.5mil to over 3 million watch orders. There is 0% chance that apple can charge this many cards in only a few hours.

Regardless of how many pre-orders they received, they only have to charge credit cards for those they're ready to ship, which will be a far lower quantity.
 
I wonder if the are releasing orders based on configuration, and they haven't got to the SS with BSB yet. fingers crossed. I got my order confirmation at 12:02 on pre-order day
 
It'd be nice to see a status update, but I won't be worried about it until Thursday. No updates by then means no watch on Friday.

But still they don't do that kind of volume on a day to day basis thru the digital channel. Also just note that I have never seen them do pre-orders during the day, they typically do it over night while we sleep and we wake and think oh look we have been charged. No big deal dude. To upgrade your merchant account for one day would be a waste of money on the business end no to mention software upgrade and mainframe upgrade costs to just charge tons of people at once. I have worked with these kind of companies they are being methodical and that's a good thing. Patience grasshopper.

I too agree that this seems possible. They had to figure this was going to be a popular configuration and the fact that we are seeing stainless steel moving and sports models with BSB moving doesn't indicate that there is a supply issue with either of those.
 
Same watch, ordered at 12:01:32 nothing yet but my sport 38mm has been prepared. Why do the girlfriends always get to be first?
 
One thing we might have going in our favor is that both models of the SS BSB were among the last models during launch to sell out of the first wave. Does that mean it was an unpopular model, or that they had plenty of them? Judging by this thread, I'm gonna say its the latter?

Yea I agree, though the black band could be the issue. Since the black aluminum band is a bit different then the SS black band.
 
My friend ordered his at 2:02am CST and got his "Preparing for Shipment" notification and a charge on his card earlier today. He ordered a 42mm SG w/ Black Sport Band.

I ordered the same model at the same time and haven't received any updates or a charge.

It'll happen. Just be patient and keep checking!

Not the model we are talking about.
 
Our day is tomorrow. This is a popular style. Bet these are sitting in warehouses in there destination locations just waiting to be put on a fed ex (or ups) truck. The fact that none of us have moved to "preparing for shipment" is a great sign! (I hope)##

Either good or bad, but I am assuming good.
