hi I pre ordered my Apple Watch the morning it went on sale for preorder. It’s tuesday and the Status still says processing. im wondering if it will be shipped on time. I’ve read that some watchs had started shipping already. Even though they’re not expected to be delivered until Friday. My issue is that mine seems to still be stuck in the processing status and I’m wondering if there’s an issue why.

This is not unusual, the status normally says processing until the day it is shipped.

I understand that just seems odd nothing has shipped by now since people are saying they are seeing shipments of watches going out.

Been wondering the same thing.  Ordered mine Friday morning 9/15 and still shows in process with the Expected ship date of 9/22, however the email states Delivery by 9/22.  Messed up system Verizon has.

This happens every year. I ordered an iPhone at 3:01 on 9/15. Still say processing and expected to ship 9/22. Trust me everyone...it's a preorder so it will stay in processing until it ships. If it says expected to ship on 9/22...your watch or iphone will ship that day.

Not exactly true bigearz28...  Last year i ordered the Jet Black 256GB iPhone 7+ and my order confirmation said i would have it the next week! Then in the middle of the week I checked online and they bumped my date by a week!  It was rather annoying.  I got in pretty fast on pre-order as well.

This time, i have only ordered the Graphite 42mm Apple Watch. Got in right on time... web-site was screwed up and I ended up having to call in.  no problems there. My confirmation email says 9/22.  BUT as of this very moment 9/20... 11:30AM my time.  NO status change online.

Therefore, I do NOT have faith in the system.  We shall see if i get bumped again this year!

It says processing until it ships. If you ordered the day preorders started then most likely you have a deliver by 9/22 date. It is 2 day shipping so i would say wait until Thursday and see if it changes. If you ordered in the following days after the preorders were accepted, you may have a later date. I know the dates are now in October because of so many orders. Check your order confirmation.

I've seen shipping dates mentioned.  Is this from the original confirmation email?  Or on the order page?

My AW3 order online still shows as Status: Processing  No Delivery By date.

And this:

Please check back later for an updated order status.

Status

Your order is currently being processed. Please check back later.

No mention of a delivery date at all in my online account.  The watch hasn't yet shown up under My Devices, either.  I put in the order 3 days ago.  Is it too soon to see the information change?  My email showed a delivery date of 10-11.

Same, I’ve seen on threads that folks who I know ordered after me are able to track their watches. I ordered within 7 minutes of start and got a silvery by 9/22 with shipment date confirmed but stuck in processing. sonce it’s two day shipping I am hoping to see this order make progress tomorrow.

I also also ordered the 42mm stainless steel LTE and I’m worried due to everyone wanting that model Verizon will try to pull a fast one

Jesus people calm down haha.  Apple/Verizon ALWAYS does the shipping Wednesday/Thursday.  Most of these are at major shipping hubs (Memphis, New Jersey, and whatever the West Coast hub is).  My is probably in Memphis, will ship Wednesday/Thursday and will be in my hands Friday morning.  it happens EVERY YEAR lol.

Because Apple makes Fedex and UPS hold the packages at the facilities until the release date.  It has always been that way year after year and this won't be any different lol.

There are a few small cases where a few devices get delivered early, but I'm just saying don't hold your breath.

The issue that I'm having is how down to the wire they're taking to ship or at least send a shipping notification to Verizon.  I have pre-ordered every iphone since the 4S through Verizon and usually when I see reports around the web that phones are starting to ship I notice Verizon sends me an update within a day or two of hearing that others have received shipping notifications.  My order is expected to be shipped by 9/22 but its 9/20 and there still has not been a peep from Verizon.  My main concern is being available to sign for the package, so if it is set to be delivered on 9/22 a update from Verizon/UPS/FedEx etc... would be very reassuring.

Your all lucky you can even view your my order section to get status Updates.  Mine says We are experiencing system issues, please try again later.  I have to reach out to verizon chat to get updates on it.  They said their engineeres are working on the issue but that’s been going on since the day I prordered on 9/15.

I have been getting the same thing since yesterday morning. I chatted with a representative and she telling me that mine  won't ship out until Friday.  I preordered last Friday.
