Kotal Kahn?

 

[charpunk]

Just checked my order it time and it was 12:01. Still nothing, freaking out lol

"Preparing for Shipment...."

"Preparing for Shipment...."

Same here!

 

[TxdoHawk]

No charge or status change yet, feels bad man.

 

[PhantomHound]

Prepared shipping

 

[Nothing1016]

Processing order.... But till 4-6 weeks out. I order at 12:10. What are my chances it changes?

Oh its the stingless steel model with black sports band of that matters.

Processing order.... But till 4-6 weeks out. I order at 12:10. What are my chances it changes?

The one that I ordered on Saturday says Processing Order. That's what everything says before it starts charging and shipping.

 

[Fractology]

I'm with the 42mm Space Grey Sport group with an estimated 4-6 weeks. No charges or changes in my order.

Bummer. Maybe us 4+ weekers won't get lucky after all. I'll post here if anything changes.

*Edit* My email receipt is time stamped at 3:14am.

 

[Majine]

Weird that Siri on the watch don't seem to talk back. It has audio output, since you can do phone calls.

It does have a speaker because it can act as a speakerphone for phone calls.

 

[Jill Sandwich]

Sounds like us Brits won't hear anything until tomorrow as the banks are asleep and the shipments haven't landed yet.

 

[billeh]

My order was in at 12:02 AM PST and now preparing for shipment!

Edit: They also took my money!

 

[Christopher]

Anyone on GAF rich enough for the edition? I want to live vicariously threw you.

I'm sure many of us can afford it, but don't see the practical use for it when you can get a watch that has name value for a similar price

 

[kaskade]

Damn mine still says processing. 3:02am.

 

[ckohler]

Still just Processing for me. :/ I ordered at 12:03 a.m. pacific.

 

[Juice]

Heh, I ordered two only 30 seconds apart (space gray then pink). Space gray is preparing for shipment but the pink one hasn't charged yet.

Wife is going to kill me if I get mine and she doesn't

 

[SuperPac]

Yeah a bunch of folk on macrumors seem to be in my same boat - ordered a 42mm SS Black Sport Band and it hasn't been charged. Gah. UK orders haven't seemingly moved either.

 

[subrock]

Preparing for shipment! (Canada - ordered through app at 12:00:30 - still showing 4/24-8/5)

 

[JABEE]

42mm SS Black Sport Band?

Ordered at the same time. No change.

 

[kaskade]

Macrumors is so nuts. People losing hope and this has only been going on for like an hour. They have thousands to ship out. Some people are going to get their info updated earlier.

 

[Nothing1016]

Have any of the stainless steel models "prepared for shipment" or has it just been the regular Silver Sport models?

 

[Juice]

The people flipping out over not being charged in the first hour remind me of this Louis CK bit:

My wife's 38mm stainless with Milanese loop is preparing for shipment.

 

[ckohler]

42mm SS Black Sport Band?

Yes, same model. No change yet. 12:03 a.m. is the date on the e-mail I received from Apple.

I didn't pay with Apple Pay, though. I used the credit card that was already associated with my Apple account. It looks like people who used Apple Pay might be processed first?

EDIT: My mistake. I ordered the 42mm Space Grey Sport, not the SS Black. Ignore.

I don't think any black sport band, SS watches have seen any movement.

 

[ckohler]

I don't think any black sport band, SS watches have seen any movement.

Oh wait! You said SS (stainless steel). Sorry, I ordered the Space Gray Sport. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[LyleLanley]

I don't think any black sport band, SS watches have seen any movement.

According to that link I posted 2 people on Reddit are claiming that theirs are being prepared for shipment.

 

[finalflame]

I'm ready, GAF.

 

[Nothing1016]

My wife's 38mm stainless with Milanese loop is preparing for shipment.

Oh all right. I just noticed online that a lot of the models preparing for shipment were the Sports model. Thought maybe apple was shipping based on model but it seems not.

Damn man...how the hell'd you get in there in under the first minute? I almost want to hear from someone who knows how stress to servers work to know how these things actually bottleneck and what causes some IPs to get through while others can't.

Is there some sort of automatic throttle that kicks in? What's the trick to getting in...? Is there any trick?? I want to be ahead of the curve next time!

 

[Sean]

Ordered three Apple watches, here are my statuses:

- Silver Sport 38mm was charged to my Discover and is preparing for shipment, I assume I'll get it on launch day
- Space Gray Sport 38mm that I ordered at the exact same time as above watch is processing (4/24-5/8) but credit card hasn't been charged yet
- Space Gray Sport 42mm that I ordered on April 10th in the afternoon is processing but still says June

 

[SuperEpicMan]

Ergh the wait for mine is going to be horrible.

I preordered in store on Friday evening the 10th and its saying June. I really hope it comes sooner than that.

 

[kaskade]

My order is preparing to shipment. Yes.

I used the app. I'm assuming the app goes up first because they can deploy the API separately from the client and I imagine it's more reliable because the request size is way way smaller than an HTML document

 

[Ambient80]

My order hasn't changed yet. Sadness overwhelms. It was still like 12:01 when my order was placed. Hope it changes soon

 

[borghe]

Woot. Nothing yet but going by other posts here I am reasonably confident I'll get mine on Friday (12:02)

Don't freak out. The launch day units are going to charge over the next day or two.

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

Just Sports so far? Where are my Stainlessessules?

The Apple Store app is always the way to go. At almost every launch you can access the store minutes before it goes back up on the web. Plus with Apple Pay, you can get checked out in like 15 seconds.

 

[JCreasy]

Well, they charged me for one of the two watches on my order. :O And it's my wife's.

Same. But charged me for mine. My wife's is still holding: "processing order"

I got 42 mm SS, white sport band.

She got 38 mm SS, black sport band.

Looks like the black bands are constrained.

 

[Warnen]

My 3 orders charged, all switched to preparing to ship. Latest order was in by 12:03. Only the extra black sports band I ordered hasn't charged.

I will be very disappointed if I missed launch day shipping by two minutes.

 

[ckohler]

Is anyone who's order is preparing to ship NOT use Apple Pay?

 

[DSFan1970]

Is anyone who's order is preparing to ship NOT use Apple Pay?

I used the Apple Store app. Mine is preparing to ship. Had to use my password as the fingerprint function was removed with the latest update. Unless you mean something else.

 

[Epix]

Are you guys judging order time by the time that the email confirmation came? If that's the case I ordered mine at 12:04 and mine is preparing for shipment.

 

[JoseDFrog]

Mine changed, I have a 42mm SS with classic leather

 

[SuperPac]

Is anyone who's order is preparing to ship NOT use Apple Pay?

I did not use Apple Pay. One of the watches in my order is preparing to ship.

 

[Got the Shakes]

Is anyone who's order is preparing to ship NOT use Apple Pay?

I didn't use Apple Pay for my watch purchase, I just used the card attached to my iTunes account. I have used Apple Pay through the app before though and it is quite quick.

Edit: Forgot to mention that my watch is preparing for shipment.
