Ah, found it - it is in the email Apple sent! Right above where you can click "Track Shipment":

Shipped: Delivers May 12, 2015 by Standard Shipping

My email doesn't have an ETA. There is nothing above "track shipment" and have looked all over email. My tracking number still doesn't show up on the UPS web site.

----------

So, what's the first sign that your watch is on its way -- an email shipping notification, the credit card charge, or other...?

For me, credit card charge was first, then my order changed to "preparing to ship" 2 hours later. Then a day later (today) I got my email with shipping confirmation and tracking number.

I saw a pending charge Friday (I think) with my credit card, then the status changes to "Preparing to Ship: 24 hours later.

I've seen others say their email doesn't include an estimated day of delivery. I have no idea why some do and some don't.
 
I suspect this has been asked before, but darn if I can remember. How long should it be before the tracking number Apple sends will work with the UPS site? I got my email about 9:15 AM PDT.
 
Has anyone who got "shipped" today gotten tracking info from UPS

Yes, but for me the tracking number is not working yet. On apple web page it says tracking info should work within 24 hours. And as stated above, eta isn't in my conformation email.

I should get it Tuesday.
 
I'm going to just stop looking at everything and assume it will be here on Tuesday like everyone else that got their :08 notifications yesterday. It's shipped, and I'm checking UPS like a madman and fretting over the fact the tracking number isn't working. It's crazy. Within 48 hours I'll have it. Done. :apple::D:apple::D:apple::D:apple:
 
Nope, I haven't. It seems like most are getting their shipping notifications for Tuesday delivery, though. We may have to wait until Monday morning for new charges.

Yea don't mind waiting aslong as they do another big wave[COLOR

Well checked my serial number since its available once it went to shipped. Looks like my watches production week was 17(April) in factory FH( Apple watch is made)
 
A tracking number gets generated when a label is printed. The tracking will go live either when the package is scanned and picked up or the pallet of packages are loaded. I would be surprised if it wasn't live in the AM or by mid afternoon.

Thanks. I assume you mean on a pallet leaving China as opposed to loading to ship from wherever they get shipped in bulk to the U.S.

Already afternoon now in Hawaii (2:30 PM) and nothing yet. Just figure whatever day it gets to the U.S., it should get to me by the next day.
 
We can check our serial numbers in the product support page. Put that into chipmunk serial number decoder website and it tells you all info regarding your watch. My watch was made week 18 May so last week!! And I'm getting it Wednesday haha what's the earliest week this watch was made?
