Q: Apple Watch Shipping Notices

Because the app DELIVERIES accepts Apple order numbers (Amazon too).  So I entered the order number associated with my watch and track it that way.  It's an awesome app FWIW.

I honestly think its saying that because thats the last date that it should arrive...meaning it will definetly be there by may 8.  Apple is still proccessing so it may be an update by later today..

Thanks for pointing that out and you may well be right.  It was just interesting that there was something different being shown from what it's been saying since day one.  I'll update any changes.

Just got the app saying the same for me.  I did the math so if 972,000 orders were placed on day one and shipping times got delayed after just 30 mins then we have to divide 972,000 by 24 hours which means 40,500 orders were placed every hour.  now if we divide 40,500 by 60 mins that would mean 675 orders placed every min so that would mean by the time you ordered only 2,025 orders had been placed on average....so you should be in the first batch depending on your model.  People WILL get the watch on the 24th if they pre-ordered so you should be ok for the 24th.  Me it took 16 mins to order...so there were roughly 10,800 orders placed.  after 30 mins the shipping times went up so that would be around 20,250..so I would imagine that I would fall into the first batch. I can see Apple shipping about 20K in the first batch or maybe up to 100K just based on the average numbers that i got from the internet and doing my own simple calculations. just guessing.

That's pretty awesome math & I love the way you think .  Sports version, space black.  You?

Awesome app.   Thanks for the tip. Now I can obsessively check more often

awesome man thanks it makes me feel a lot better hope everyone gets theirs on day one that in the thread. also dont forget people ordered 2 because they did not know what model they wanted till they tired the watch on in store so a lot of orders are being canceled i would bet.

im space grey also 42mm so excited

I got sport blue one because I was still sleepy and was rushing to get my order in quick...and I didnt see the scroll button to scroll over..but I would have got the space gray or space black.  2 I didnt change because I thought it would slow my order and I thought I could just go exchange it in the store after the lines died down on launch day..glad I pre ordered. 

Yea i dint account for the two order people.  they all fall into the order numbers..but there will be cancellations I would bet.

Order confirmation was sent to me at 3:08am EST, so I too hope I am in the first batch!

Last week was easy; I checked my order status maybe once a day, but now I am just being an obsessive checker!

My deliveries app ALSO says May 8th.... 18 days from now! That seems crazy to think about, but I too think that is just because it is the latest date. If I was running apple, I wouldn't want to get thousands of customers enraged if I said delivery date of April 24th but it ended up being the 25th or even the 8th of May. They seem to be playing this awfully safe. I don't blame them!

In my own personal experience, apple tends to UNDER promise and OVER deliver with these delivery times. I remember I ordered my gold 6+ 125GB in a Verizon store the morning of the pre-order, and they said SIX WEEKS until delivery. Well, I was so surprised when less than 2 weeks later I received my delivery. Pretty awesome, although I obviously cannot promise this is what apple will be doing with the watch.

I'll be refreshing hourly and updating the thread if I get a ship notice!
