I went ahead and pulled the trigger on 38 blk ss from best buy. it says oct 13. I'd like to have it by Oct 8 which is my marathon but if its not here its no big deal. i really like the pure platinum band from nike. but I work outside and seeing in how good of shape my series 0 blk ss watch is I can't take a chance on the nike watch ion glass even though its cheaper w/apple care. So I also ordered that nike band from apple. It looks like both should be in around the same time.
Got a tip for us?

I just got an alert from my credit card that Apple just charged my card. I have it scheduled for an in-store pickup at 8AM on Friday.
I do this all the time for packages. Its great and i'm not waiting around all day. Especially if it's something I really want (like my watch haha)
Still no movement on SS space black supposed to get it friday...

My Watch is still in Shanghai, according to UPS. Last activity was the arrival scan at 6:08 PM.
I ordered the Sport, Space Gray case, Gray band, Cellular, 42mm.

It won't delay shipping as long as you pick the UPS distribution center and NOT a local UPS Store. If you pick UPS Store then you will have a delay of a day or two b/c of some logistical thing of actually getting it to that store. I have done the hold at the UPS distribution center for a couple iPhone pre-orders/launches and they've worked great every time!
Same thing, different time scans but still sitting in Shanghai. 42mm Space Gray w/ Black Sport GPS+WiFi.
2 flights just left Shanghai for Anchorage, I am hoping that they are on one of those flights. One of them apparently hasn't operated that route in quite some time, so hoping it is a specially allocated flight to handle the demand of these thousands of packages Apple is sending out.

Still no marked shipped from Apple either. I believe Apple usually marks items as shipped when they get into Alaska.
Me too.

No, I ordered my Series 3 LTE Space Gray 42mm Olive loop at 12:03 PDT and is still "order in Progress" delivered by the 22nd
I wish I remembered to set my alarm so I could be getting it on Friday. I’m jealous watching y’all track your watches. Hopefully those of us in later shipping windows get ours a little earlier than expected!
still preparing for shipping.. ordered a 42mm with sport band.
Seems apple is shipping the sport versions...
I ordered a 42mm space black stainless steel with black sport band and my watch is still at processing. My wife's 38mm stainless steel with white band has been at preparing for shipment since mid-morning yesterday. Both watches are due to be delivered on the 22nd.
Has anyone with a 42mm space black stainless steel moved onto preparing for shipment yet?

Yup. This is the Apple supplier Quanta Computing, they basically do all of the Apple Watch production.
How are you all looking it up on UPS? Did you guys receive a tracking number or via a reference? I’ve tried everything and nothing shows valid info but I’m set to receive the 22nd. Ordered at 3:02via the app.
I do see the attached with my phone number though.
