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.
I'm not going hunting. I ordered 3 watches, of course my wife got hers Friday and my moms too. Im so pissed at apple now.
 
If this shows up in a local store before it's delivered, Imma be annoyed. Pre-order, schmee-order.

I'm happy to have a watch on my wrist already, but yeah, it's super annoying that my pre-order will arrive so long after I was able to get one in-store. Even more annoying is that my pre-order switched over to shipped exactly while I was in another browser tab reserving one for in-store pickup.

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.“

Mine is still stuck, showing a new scheduled delivery of 10/5. (Which is outside even the original quoted delivery of 9/28-10/2!!) Did I miss something- I'm not seeing any severe weather in Louisville, and nothing between there and Kansas City. Why will it take another 9 days to get it here? How frustrating.

Two of mine went from yesterday to 10/5 as well while sitting in Louisville.

I had one to be delivered 25th. Then in UPS tracking the movement stalled as on yesterday (25th) at 2.00 AM in St. Louis. The Apple order still shows delivery on the 25th! But UPS shows delivery on 5th October! I picked up a Xsmax through istocknow inventory monitoring. I made a mistake ordering through the preorder system. Even last year, I picked up a phone in week 1 at the store. Pre-ordering is more a hassle these days.
 
Mine is now showing a bit of movement in Shanghai - had 2 customs clearances it looks like, and "in transit" now - missing the nonstop to Memphis already, I'm guessing it's on the way to ANC first on FX 5328, which connects to Memphis by tomorrow morning, and then should hopefully be to me by Friday.

Fingers crossed...

Mine is now having a departure scan from Louisville at 5:28 p.m. However, the delivery date is still showing end of day October 5. Hopefully, it will arrive before then.
 
Just thought I'd add to the list here: I ordered 2 watches on launch night right at midnight. My dad wanted the 44 mm Black SS - ordered at 12:07 am PST and already had delivery date of 9/27 - 10/2. UPS emailed him that watch was coming today but then it changed to 10/5. It's now left Kentucky but still showing the 10/5 date as is everyone else. When I check the order status in the Apple store - it says the tracking will be updated in 24 hours. So bizarre.

Ditto today but, it just updated and is now in Ontario, Cali... maybe 30 min from me. Check your updates again and you may see it a lot closer now.

Strange, mine landed in Oakland overnight - hasn’t moved since. Any idea if it goes direct to Newark from there, or needs to step in Memphis first??
 
My UPS tracking shows currently out for delivery (but still an expected delivery of 10/5). Apple says delivery was attempted, but I didn’t get a notice on my door. Who even knows.

Hi. Preordered 44 MM SS SB sport band with a confirmation email received at 3:11 eastern with a delivery window of 9/28-10/2. Watch was shipped with a 10/1 delivery date. It left Shanghai but that is all of the information available.
I spoke to FedEx about location pickup, distribution center is a mile from my home. I was told that that option was not available for this delivery. Also you cannot pre-sign for the delivery. I appreciate the security aspects but I am certain that FedEx will deliver when I am on my way to get kids at school.
Way of the rode.
