For the USA, the ordering time is based on what time zone you're in. For example, I'm in the Eastern time zone, so my window for ordering opens at 3:01 am.
And yes, my alarm IS set.

I work the night shift so I'll have to order mine at my 1am coffee break.

I totally forget about time zones, It still strikes me as strange that people are on different times in the same country
I finally got my order in one hour and 45 minutes after the preordering was supposed to start. The site was late coming online and was immediately hammered. The wait is up to a month already for the 6 plus.

You have to wait to a month?
3 to 4 weeks is what the site said.
Congrats.. Can't believe you won't get it for a month.

Seems to depend on what colour you want, Silver is ok for the 19th apparently.3 to 4 weeks is what the site said.
Just a friggin nightmare. It's a total shame, too. I was there in plenty of time, but nothing was working right. When I finally did get the pre-order button up, then various models and carrier skus didn't seem to be in the system. It took me a while to even figure that out. Once the model and carrier I wanted showed up in the system, then you have to go to the carrier info page...when, the system then couldn't reach the carrier for confirmation. So, I had to deal with a seemingly endless loop of responses about not being about to contact the carrier. But the time that business got taken care of, my ship time had slipped back to Oct 1 - 6. Just stupid. Two hours spent trying to complete my order (I did shave & shower during this time too, because I couldn't complete my order until after I finished anyway).
Does apple really expect us to trust them with CC / Pay stuff when they can't even build a reliable order system? This is not like streaming video. I think after this experience I will hold off on using these features and will probably hold off on ordering the Apple Watch, too. I'll let the bugs get worked out on someone else. They need to wake up, spend some money, and build software systems that work without compromise. I really have to wonder about Tech sometimes...
