The earliest date on Apple was Sep 28 when I ordered at 2:05. Any one with a launch date from Apple?

Best Buy showed "shipment on release date" and not sure what that means.

The store on the phone or app was not open for me at :03. To confirm you have 44mm SS Gold?

My email confirmation is :05.

Dates now show October so I guess I should stop complaining :).

Yup 44 with the sport band, had it fav'd. Luck was with me and the store opened right at 01 on my phone via the app.

In my experience the later ship dates get bumped up to release date, at least it happened to me a few times before. Hope it happens this time for you folks.
 
My order delivers between Sep 28- Oct 2. Now I just checked the 44mm SS Gold the delivers date change to Oct 5 - Oct 1.
 
Mine was the sport bands and checked both the milanese and sport bands that had the same 28th date when I ordered at 2:05.
 
Sorry forgot to mention that the model I am looking at come with the Gold Milanese Loop, not the regular rubber band.
 
At 08:02 (as soon as the UK app opened) the SS gold 44mm with milanese was already stating deliver 27th September - 1st October.
 
Seems like Sep 27 is the earliest date Apple can do for the 44mm Gold SS with milanese band. 28 is not bad for me.
 
I think the date will be pushed up. Folks with a 28-2 delivery date will probably receive it on the 21st
 
australia had the following for pickup and delivery

gold SS with sports band both 40 and 44

the gold SS 40 and 44 with the Milanese was 26th from the start

so i grabbed it and my order says will ship 7-10 business days, delivert 26-1st
 
I ordered with the GSS with sport band. Took a picture, email confirmation came in at 3:05 EST.

Delivery date Sep 28 - Oct 2.
 
I ordered at 2:04 CST and the best i could get was 9/28-10/2 for the Gold SS. I checked space black and it said the same thing so I went with gold. Hopefully it ships early.
 
@chpthrll posted in the order thread that Verizon site now has SS (including 44mm gold) for delivery by 9/21. Will see which one arrives first.
 
Be sure to check your local Apple Store via the website. Noticed today I could have simply walked in and bought a Gold SS 44MM....as they had them in stock!

Yep!! That was what happened to me. I was and am very excited to have gold stainless steel 44 mm watch matching with my 512 gb gold XsMax.

Walked in today as well, 44MM SS Gold, 256XS Max

Hell of a day.
 
My delivery date was Sep 28 - Oct 2, but to my surprise, the delivery guy just knocked on my door and handed me this! Wooooot

I really like the color. It is more copper than gold. Here it is side-to-side with my gen-1 plated watch (I'll take a better one later with the plated milanese too). I love the new shape/size.

No way :-(

My fiancés went from 26th of sept (first batch for Australian delivery) to 1st of October. Didn’t even get an email from Apple.

None of the stores in Australia got the gold Milanese band unit on day 1.

Hopefully we see it sooner. Mine still says processing.
