Has anyone in the UK received any tracking data yet (or managed to track it down themselves)? I've seen US tracking info and people with UPS Choice getting it, or UPS via their phone numbers but these seem to be only in the states.

Mine is being shipped by UK Mail and is strangely showing as estimated delivery of May 8th...I really hope not!

Well that sucks :(

To be honest the pathetic way Apple have handled this at EVERY stage has sapped away most of my enthusiasm for getting the watch now :( I had been excited about this product for literally years and eagerly awaiting it since they announced it last year. It's not enough that we had to get up early just to preorder one but now it seems that was entirely pointless.

This was meant to be my birthday present, I should have just let my family buy me a "proper" (and considerably more expensive) luxery watch like they wanted to....

If you go to the UK Mail site and enter your tracking number you get an estimated delivery date. Mine says 24th!!!

It appears that the Apple site isn't able to integrate with the tracking service on the UK mail site. As such it can't get the actual status / delivery date from them and is just giving the most conservative boundary of the initial delivery estimate.

the deliveries app also doesn't connect up to UK Mail. some work there for some people me thinks!
 
42mm SS white sport band ordered at time x +03 in Germany is now "shipped"
with Est. Delivery 24.04

looks like tomorrow is my Apple Watch day :D:D:D


the second watch i ordered at time x +1 is the 42mm SS with blue leather loop is still in "processing items" with "available to ship in 4-6 weeks"
 
More importantly, has any one received that dreaded email of death and THEN had their order changed to preparing for shipping? Or does that email definitely mean no chance of getting it tomorrow?

That's the £600 question...


Don't tell me I've set aside time from studying specifically for the watch delevery tommrow for nothing :(
 
I never received the email last night, does that mean I still have a chance? I have a 42 SS BSB on order to NYC. I ordered at 3:02am EST and got confirmation at 3:03am EST.

Thanks
 
still preparing for shipment

So, we've got two watches, both were charged, both show preparing for shipment but neither have shipped yet.

sport blue 42MM and 38MM

what gives?

And of course the third, SG Black Sport got the EOD. So who KNOWS when those will ship.
 
38mm SS Milanese Loop

I signed up just to report ...

I ordered a 38mm SS Milanese Loop via the Apple App at 9 minutes after Go Live. I am in Stockholm Sweden but ordered to my box in Houston since it's not released here yet.

My card was charged last night and the shipment went to "Preparing for Shipment". I tracked FedEX as normally that is where my Apple packages come from. I checked UPS on a whim and low and behold, there is a tracking number for my phone number showing delivery for tomorrow to Houston! I know from previous experience that one day shipping is possible :).

So happy!!! I still have to wait for it to arrive Houston and then overnight to me in Sweden, but better than a stick in the eye!:cool::D:D

the people that found out via ups my choice, do you have to sign up for the premium?

No, you don't have to sign up for premium. Just regular UPS My Choice.

My 42 Milanese Loop now shows shipped. Arrival tomorrow. Shipping from Mt. Juliet, TN to Little Rock, AR.
 
My order has changed to shipped. It looks like it's arriving tomorrow, Friday. 42mm Silver sport, white.
 
Just spoke to a customer representative (again) from Apple, the extent of the help she could give me is saying "I will keep my fingers crossed for more information on your dispatch", really Apple? REALLY??? This is 2015 and your are a technology company and this is the level of "assistance" your representatives are giving out?

I really thought Apple was better than this......
 
Pink sport watch
