Ordered one the same day at the store, I just looked and mine says the same 3-4 weeks too! Still may cancel for the cheaper price at B&H.

See again this weird out of sync shipping update.... I ordered on September 19 and still 3-5 weeks but orders from September 23-24 is 3-4 week?

No o update for my order

I had to log back in to see the update, not sure if that would make a difference for you.
 
My SG black sport band ordered on 19th still hasn't moved from processing, maybe tomorrow.
 
Really thinking about canceling my Apple order and ordering here, its less expensive too.

I did. Cancelled one I had on order that was late Oct delivery. Saved on tax and same free shipping. Watch arrives Thursday.
 
This is taking too long

I logged in and still 3-5 weeks. :(
I also tried online chat with Apple rep. They have no idea...and couldn't tell me why mine is still stuck at 3-5 weeks and someone else who ordered later is shipped or 3-4weeks.
The rep also said that the new Apple devices like iPhone 7 or apple watch series 2 are next day delivery by default.
Is that true?
Is it being delivered that fast?
 
I ordered the 42mm gold aluminum/toasted coffee nylon on 9/12/16 and it just moved to preparing for shipment now, listed del. date as 10/11-10/24. Maybe since it's preparing for shipment I'll get it sooner??
 
This is odd, yet welcome, news this morning. My expected delivery of 10/12-10/25 silver SS 42 white sport band is now Preparing for Shipment and I have a tracking number from UPS. Pending pickup in China. Woohoo!!! Much earlier than expected. I hope it doesn't just sit in China for a week now. :)

Ordered a 42 silver SS with the Milanese loop on 9/20. Estimated delivery: 10/19 - 11/01. Praying it ships earlier. My local Apple Store had a black 42 SS on hand but no silver. Anyone got a link to the pre printed Apple shipping letter for your door? Does it work with the watch? Ty in advance.

UPDATE: While I am still in processing hell, my delivery date has changed slightly. It is now 10/24 - 10/31. Still hoping it moves up faster.

Just got a text from UPS with an ETA of 9/30.

Ordered same Watch on 9-10. I was up and down all night seeing if I might need to evacuate from a wildfire near me in the mountains where I live. At around 2 am, my Watch changed to "preparing for shipping." This morning I have a UPS delivery estimate of 9-30. The Wait for the Watch is nearing completion. Woo hoo! Just hope I have a house to deliver it to. But fortunately for us the fire is moving in the opposite direction. If the wind had blown this way, it would have hit here last night.

I ordered the same configuration on Sept. 15. Still looking at a 10/14 to 10/27 delivery window.
Is the gold aluminium version most delayed.
I have not seen any gold aluminium changing status that was ordered after 9/16.

Thank god the wind wasn't blowing your way!! I live on the east coast, was watching the news this morning and saw a report on those fires. I'm happy you still have a house, and that your AW is coming soon:)!

Mine left Suzhou this morning and has arrived in Shanghai. Yours on the same track?
 
DYING. My 7Plus is waiting for me at home and I'm not even excited about it really. I just want my watch....

Ordered on 9/15/16
