here is the odd thing, it shipped via FedEx and not UPS. right now its showing Oct 1 delivery but who knows if that would get moved up yet or not..
yea the bright side is we are getting it soon.... and stock has been non-existant in the stores.
i just got the shipping notice on my SS White Sport Band and it’s set to arrive on October 1st. Currently it’s just a shipping label has been created and coming from CHANGSHU. It’s also from Fedex and not ups like others mentioned.
Hmmm. Yeah. Looks like a gap there.

Yeah and the screen has light spots on it. Noticed this morning unlocking in a darker room.
Look at the 1, 4, 7
Left side and upper right corner
Same - got shipping notification, on FedEx, arriving Oct 1st. Hoping it comes a bit earlier, as FedEx tends to do, but we'll see...
Some additional detail on mine:
Departed Anchorage 9/23/18 at 12:09 AM
Arrived in Louisville 9/23/18 at 10:03 AM
Import scan 9/24/18 at 10:37 AM
However, what's confusing is that there has been no movement/change since the import scan for 24 hours.
My pre-ordered watch was supposed to be delivered today, but is now "delayed" and stuck in Louisville. No estimated delivery date.
I was able to pick up a watch in-store last Saturday morning, but I'd like to get the shipped one returned ASAP.

Finally! 44mm SS Silver/white sport, email x:08. I'm in the 10/1 delivery from FedEx group. Card was charged last night. I'm in N. California Bay Area.
If this shows up in a local store before it's delivered, Imma be annoyed. Pre-order, schmee-order.

I wonder if your watch is in the same batch as my watch. Mine's also stuck in Louisville since 9/23.
yea I just got a istocknow notification about my watch being in stock. but mine is already on its way so its pointless now.
Ditto. But mine has a rescheduled delivery date of Wed the 26th.
“Severe weather conditions have delayed delivery. / Delivery will be delayed by one business day.“
FedEx just updated that my order is in Shanghai...
Looks like FedEx 12 is leaving Shanghai, headed to Oakland, CA. That would make sense for my Silver SS AW4. Delivery date is still 10/1. Hope it slips earlier.

Aaaaaaannnnndddd.... This just happened.
I will be cancelling my pre-order.
Same here! I got lucky and refreshed istocknow at exactly the right time at around 3 pm this afternoon! A small batch of 44mm SS white sport band watches showed up at one of our two local Apple Stores, and I snagged that baby quickly. It was definitely an afternoon delivery, because I had checked a number of times earlier in the day and saw nothing. But then shortly after lunch I saw some showing up at stores a few hundred miles away, which told me afternoon deliveries were happening and I needed to keep a close eye on my local stores. This paid off. A few minutes after I purchased for in-store pickup, istocknow showed the stock of this model was already gone.
I was actually in the 10/2-10/7 delivery window, unlike the rest of you, but lurked here often to see what was happening in the group before me. At first it seemed like I might get mine early, but here it is Tuesday and many of you are still waiting, especially those who ordered the SS. That made me pay more attention to the local Apple Store inventory.
I've had a couple of hours with my new watch (coming from a Series 2). It's outstanding. Other than the well-known physical improvements, it's WAAAAAYYYYY faster to launch and respond. I actually re-loaded some third party apps that I gave up on a long time ago, because they now run fast enough to be useful.
I hope you all get your watches soon. Keep an eye on istocknow if you are in a hurry. They are trickling in.
Woke up this am to "Shipped" and will be here on 10-1-2018.

Finally saw movement. SS SB with sport band, 44 MM LTE, shipped and scheduled to be delivered on Monday the 1st. Had received my cofirmation email the night of pre-order at 3:11 eastern. Now to watch progress across the globe and hope it arrives earlier.
yep for those of us with 10/1 delivery, we are all like... PLEASE, GOD, be here on Friday. it sucks waiting over the weekend. just got my wife her first apple watch (I hate you apple for making something my wife now wants)
sorry to hear that, thats what I was afraid was going to happen to my order but it shipped in time. use istocknow and enable notifications for a local store if there is one near you. you might be able to find it locally.
