Just put in a request to have my watch held at a local UPS Store since I most likely wouldn't have been home when they attempted delivery. Waiting for that request to process. Hope it doesn't screw anything up.

Dispatched!
Ordered the Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Grey Aluminium Case with Black Sport Band at 8:01am (14th) via the Apple Store App and got the dispatch notice this afternoon - ready for delivery tomorrow
14th?
As in April 14th?
jts
...hate me...
Probably a harmless mistake (a mix between 10th and 24th, the key dates), seeing the 8:01am. Pre-orders opened at 8:00am UK time on the 10th.
I really regret I didn't proceed with my order when I saw it was back to 4-6 weeks already (like 5 minutes in), only to put it down anyway half an hour later. Ugh I'm so dumb sometimes.
Dispatched! Now to keep refreshing UKMail every 10 minutes with the tracking number.

Tim Cook shares your happiness.
Damn, which one did you order?
I'm just happy UPS must've changed routes and now I get deliveries usually before 12pm vs 6pm. Especially since I have to leave around 3:30 tomorrow. I just want to get it fully charged up so I can have my first day with an Apple Watch.
Damm it, knew when I was looking at a June dispatch on the Space Grey Sport and a 4-6 week for any of the other Sports I should have just gone with one of them.

The fact that we may be able to exchange our straps on the sport model within the first 14 days has me bouncing around looking at other orders.
I put one in for the white strap silver aluminium since a lot of those were getting shipped ahead of schedule yesterday. The blue seems to be the same. Pink hasn't budged at all though.
Stainless Steel Black Sport
38mm is coming tomorrow, ordered April 19th with a late May delivery date
42mm still processing, ordered as fast as I could when preorders went up, 24th-8th quoted date.
Bizarre.

How long did it take for your reroute to the UPS Store to get processed. I won't be home tomorrow so I changed delivery to the UPS store like 5 minutes from my house. My request has been processing for 3 hours or so. Just wondering if/when I should get concerned that they haven't confirmed that they will indeed reroute it to the UPS Store I selected.
Mine went through at 12:04; Processing + that "your order will arrive between 4/24-5/8" e-mail that many got last night.
I would've had my order go through at like 12:00:10 if my address info wasn't missing from the Apple Store. Very odd since Apple has had all of my info for years.. still had to manually enter my address for billing.. then again for shipping; not even an option to "use billing address."
Was a bit annoying but I'm more patient than many of the people in this thread lol.
I'm actually debating canceling and ordering the 42mm stainless watch; I first saw the watches in person yesterday and I really wasn't feeling the space gray as much as I thought I would.. and the stainless looks much nicer than it does in pictures, where it looks like an OG iphone or something.
Oh wow really? Where's that being said to? Because yeah may just have to chuck an order down on one of the other bands and get a black band by its self later on.
No luck just yet, same watch and my confirmation email came in at the same minute as yours, although I'm on the opposite coast in NJ. Gonna see if anything happens today, but I get the feeling we may have barely missed the cut-off for launch day.

Yeah that's so good. Mohammed will be with you at 17:45-18:00, he has 7 more deliveries before you. Love DPD.
I had to call them because my apple pay used a years old address, and the CC number listed on the email receipt was for a card I've never had, which apple customer service had no idea why that happened, later said it was apple pay that did that, then put my real CC in.
I have a feeling were not making launch day, but still ... it took me hours to order my 6 Plus but I got it on launch, how did this take me minutes and I miss out? Blah!

Still nothing here aside from the "we're working on it" e-mail.
I didn't even get a we're working on it email, I ordered on the 10th if it matters.
When I talked to the UPS rep, they said that the request usually gets approved as the parcel begins movement within UPS's network. So for most (if not all) or us in the US, they probably won't be actually in transit until later this evening since it's overnight shipping. That'll be when your request kicks in.
I'd recommend having it held at a customer center over a UPS store if you're close to one. The main difference being the CC is usually the first stop before delivery, whereas your watch will be dropped off by a delivery driver on his route at a UPS store (which may cause a delay).

I'm much closer to multiple UPS Stores than a customer center. My delivery window before I requested the change was 1:45-5:45. So I can't imagine that it would get to the store much later than the late end of my delivery window anyways. Also the UPS Store is open Saturday so worst case I get it then, but I'm hoping that it at least hits the UPS Store in time for me to just stop on my way home from work tomorrow.
I didn't get any emails, only knew it that I have a watch coming via UPS account thing and the fact that I was chargedStill nothing here aside from the "we're working on it" e-mail.

Also the user guide is out so we can all look at what we could be doing, if only we had the watches already.

Maybe the app is bugging out but I ordered an Apple Watch yesterday and it's preparing for shipment right now. 38mm sport white strap. I will update you once I get back to my desk.
My space grey still says processing.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT!! It's shipping!! I ordered the fucking thing yesterday. Edit: Well, preparing to ship. The big blue cancel button is gone.
I am in Canada BTW. Ordered a Sport White Strap Aluminum 38mm yesterday night.
I actually didn't want it to go on this credit card cycle. Oh well. It's an expensive month.
Now I need to figure out how to return my Pebble Time once it arrives. Apparently it has a 30 day guarantee.

Just contact Pebble they will refund you now. They would probably prefer you not wait until it ships. Also congrats on the lucky Apple Watch. Was hoping one of my friends would pick one up so I could mess with it but they all seem rather indifferent on them.

Someone also ordered a Blue Sport yesterday and it is shipping today.
Looks like the Blue and White are the ones to jump on.
I will try this.
Thanks.

Fuck it I'm in the UK but I just ordered a 42mm blue sport after reading this. Let's hope ehh?
Did anyone get the vague e-mail sent out yesterday with the "4/24-5/8" window being re-stated... then had their watch ship today?
If that combo has happened, I guess there's a chance I'll see my watch this week. But I get the feeling that anyone getting a shipping notice today did not get that e-mail.
