Q: Apple Watch Shipping Notices

So you honestly believe that they had a list of SKU's and said when we ship everyone else's watches we will ship the pink ones? I don't know who you talked to but they should probably be fired, that makes no sense whatsoever. You think all the pink ones have been sitting in distribution centers since April 20th and people were told "don't ship these until we run out of everything else?". Ludicrous.

I Would also like to know if any 42mm SG sports have moved that were pre-ordered after 00:15.

Yes, I think--in a sense--that's exactly what happened.

I think they decided to do fulfillment by SKU. They started with a batch and moved on to the next batch. If you're paying any attention, it's pretty apparent that's how it's been done. There's no other rational explanation. Or, why would early--:01-- orders for some SKUS just now be being filled, while much later orders for others already have shipped?

I Ordered at 2:11 CST 38mm space gray sports. 5/13-5/27 shipping date, absolutely no movement.

Wow! Interesting and entertaining responses. I think people look at this differently based on the depth of their experience with Apple product releases.

A lot of the responders here are like me, experienced release day purchasers. Apple makes a game of it, either having us get up in the middle of the night to press the buy button a second after midnight or standing in line for hours. For the iPad 2, I was the first guy in line. For the 6 plus I got in line at 3AM. For the others, my on-line order got in quick enough to get it on the first day.

We do it because we believe in the products and it’s kind of fun. At least it used to be fun until Apple changed the rules without any explanation whatsoever. That’s the most upsetting and most disrespectful aspect of this situation.

Apple is stonewalling us. What’s going on? Is it the band? Is it the watch? Is it the (SKU?) distribution plan? We are all guessing because Apple is not being honest and telling us. Do like I did. Call the 800 number or try the Chat and listen to the absolute nonsense, non-answers they give you.

Hey Apple, if you’re listening, we are your faithful fans. We deserve more respect than that!

Again, that is ludicrous and would not be the way any shipping center would work. As they get product their people scan it in and out. They really don't care about the SKU and don't look at it. This thread is far from evidence of how things are being shipped. Again, you REALLY believe that in all the distribution centers your Sport with pink band has been sitting there since April 20th and when Apple gets done shipping all of the other Sport watches, of various sizes and band colors, Apple Watch, with various bands and sizes, and Apple Watch Edition, with various size and bands, they will then open the crate with the pink bands and ship them out? Really?

The problem with that is the distribution centers are receiving shipments from China daily. So they are getting new crates of other models and sending those first.

Given all this "evidence" that no pink bands have been shipped, and that people have supposedly cancelled and been sent the uglier lime green SB models, I would guess the problem goes beyond how they are coming in and shipping them. So if they contact you and say there is a problem with the pink band that so far they have not resolved and offer you a different color, a delay or you can cancel, which way are you going?

Are they passed the promised delivery date for yours? Did you get an April 24th through April 27th estimated delivery confirmation?

I ordered my 42mm SS BSB at 3:03 EST on 4/10.  I received a delivery date of 4/24 - 5/8.  Yesterday (4/26) around 11:30 AM EST I received text that my credit card was charged and my order moved to Preparing for Shipping.  Then around 10 hours later, I got a UPS tracking number.  I am suppose to receive the watch tomorrow! 

That's the same one I ordered! Glad to see some of them are moving now!

Good for you, glad to hear it. My confirmation email is 2 minutes after yours so now it is a question of how many people ordered the same model in the intervening 120 seconds.

Just got my Apple Watch and I LOVE IT! Don't give up hope you guys, they are moving!

So once you get it set up you need to text all of your friends with iPhones that didn't order an Apple Watch this message:

If you had an Apple watch you wouldn't have wasted your time getting your phone out to read this.

All these flavors and you chose to be salty.
