Re: Apple Watch Order status update - Check In
My thoughts on the email are this. I believe the people with the early 'preparing for shipment' status will get theirs on launch or Saturday. Those who changed a day or two later, may or may not get theirs the same days as well. I wouldn't think later than Tuesday considering the shipping Apple is using. For those with no change and a email, I believe they are backed up on getting those orders shipped. I also believe it is essentially based on popularity, band etc. I believe your watches are at the centers and will come by normal standard shipping sometime next week after the first initial batch, but no later. I can't imagine Apple would pay for a million watches with overnight delivery. I could be totally wrong but that's the only logical answer I can come up with. I believe they are trying to express to be patient that they are doing what they can to get through those backed orders.
