Think mine is out for delivery which means it would show up around 3-4 at my house.
 
Wow mine from BB shipped and get it Friday also, just returned my series 2 , I figure the Nike has a few extra features at the same price .
 
Ordered 12. September, Expected Delivery 28.10
"Processing Items" => "Preparing for Shipment" right Now
 
I only ordered mine on 22nd October as I wasn't sure if the Nike+ version was worth the wait. Expected delivery 21st - 28th November!!! Turns out the availability on the regular Watch 2 is even worse! If I can get away from work early on Friday I may try to pick one up in store. I tried to track the shipment by reference like someone mentioned before but no joy. Either Apple don't use UPS in the UK, it's too soon or I've made a mistake on the details.
 
I ordered from Apple by 12:10am on preorder day. My CC was charged last Friday. I have a delivery date of 10/28, but my status is still "preparing for shipment".

I'm confident that I'll have it Friday, and I've seen this before, but after 7 weeks, I would really like to see some movement.

Hey guys.

I ordered mine 2 days ago and they tried to charge me earlier today. Declined because i didnt have enough money in my card.

It is weird though, expected delivery was 21Nov to 28 Nov.

Should i just pay today or try my luck tomorrow at local store ?

I am in melbourne, australia.
 
I ordered minutes after preorders opened. The Nike + will be my first Apple Watch. I was excited to see my card with a pending charge from Apple on Friday and my status changed to "preparing for shipping," for delivery on October 28. I have been checking several times a day to see if my status has changed to "shipped." Today I noticed that the charge has dropped off my card and the status of my order still says "preparing for shipping." I have checked UPS tracking using my phone number as others have suggested, but nothing comes up. It seems like I have been waiting for this watch forever and the charge dropping from my card makes me nervous. I just want Apple to take my money! Has anyone else had the charge drop off their card so close to delivery day?

The true is that it's weird. My money was retained on my account yesterday and I assume that the delivery time is gonna be between tomorrow and Friday. That makes more sense in my opinion. If I were you, at least I'd ask tomorrow at Apple online or whenever you made the order to be sure about what to do before loosing the chance and to have to wait more time.

Hi,

From yesterday, my money was retained in my bank account and the status shows the same thing "in process" even though the delivery time says that will be on 28/10. I'm not worried about that, I assume tomorrow the status will change.

I spoke with an Apple representative today. He told me that the card does not get charged until it actually ships out. The charge I saw on my card is merely a placeholder. He also told me that my watch was in a facility in Pennsylvania and that is why it has not changed to ship… Because it only need one day to get there on the 28th.
 
Wow mine shipped and I ordered Tuesday and I get it Friday. This is from bestbuy , why would someone wait weeks from Apple when you can just order from BB and get it a few days later.
 
Why is everyone else getting theirs earlier than launch date? No fair! UPS hates me. :-(

But, congrats to all of you that got the watch early! I'll be getting mine with the mere mortals on Friday. That "pending" charge on my card fell off and never got posted to my Amex... I bet it'll get charged again this week when it gets shipped.

I am planning on going to apple on Friday and seeing if I can get one....my delivery date is 11/11...I ordered 10/11.........if Apple doesn't have any I will stop by BB
 
Pending charges usually remain on an account for 3 business days and then fall off. If the charge isn't there anymore you should be good, just don't spend the money

These are good news, aren't they? I hope it's all gonna be great for all of us.
 
Almost canceled order from Apple and bought from Best Buy,with a delivery day of Wednesday Nov 3rd,but did not.

Hoping that if Best Buy can deliver by Wednesday than Apple should be able to as well

Same here. We should be fine.
