Apple Watch Shipping Notices

Just curious if anyone has received a shipping notice yet for their Apple Watch If they were lucky enough to get an early delivery date (24th). I know if is probably a bit early but worth asking.


thanks

I got my order on on 4/10 at 12:03 PST - at least that is the time on the email from Apple acknowledging the pre-order. And no, as of this evening my status has not changed from Processing Your Order to Preparing for Shipment.

I sincerely doubt if anyone will see that update until at the earliest next week. And even if they do ship, Apple's policy in the past for new releases is that the shipping company does not deliver before the release date. (Now I am sure that there are some stories about a mistaken early delivery - or perhaps a hefty tip to the UPS or FEDEX driver......)

Update: That awesome 42mm SS Watch that arrived yesterday has a problem with the Maps application. The Watch only shows grid lines. It doesn't display map graphic data. The brand new watch is also unable to attach a credit card to the Apple Pay function.


After spending 45 minutes on the phone with Apple Support, and restoring the Watch from a back up two times, it still isn't working. I now have a Genius Bar (genius - right) appointment tomorrow at my local store to try and fix the problem. What a complete let down. 24 hours after I received it (waited six weeks), I have to go to the store and have them try and fix it. I'm a big Apple fan, but this is extremely disappointing. I feel like I'm part of a beta test program and nobody told me.

Apple Pay didn't work for me either. I kept getting the message that the Watch wasn't connected to my iPhone 6 although it was. Solution for me: I turned off my iPhone and restarted it. Many of the other apps visible in the Apple Watch app then went from gray to full color and Apple Pay worked.


Try restarting your iPhone.
