I did until my order was magically canceled. You will most likely have yours by Friday. I reordered mine in a store and got a shipping date of oct 27 - nov 10... hoping that will get bumped up soon.
Got a tip for us?

Hey! I ordered too late and got those date you got! Nice to see you from last year 7+ pre-ordered lol
:/ I bit the bullet n ordered space black watch 42mm.. I hope its def worth prem.
They’re operated by Pegatron, another huge subsidiary of Apple
How are you all looking it up? Did you get your tracking info already? Thanks ahead for the info!
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!
Well, I picked a local UPS store after being told on here it wouldn't delay it. Now I can't change it back to having it delivered to my home. When I hit the "change delivery location" it only offers to change location or deliver another day. That's what I get for trusting people on the internet lol.
Nevermind as I was able to look it up with the UPS app. Looks like I’m still in China ready to hit Alaska soon though.

Do you have UPS My Choice? Sign up and get the app if not. You should see your tracking number in there right now.
My space black cellular is still PFS from Apple. That one has a launch day delivery.
The stainless steel cellular I ordered from AT&T this afternoon is scheduled to ship between October 27 and November 10. I'm hoping this is like the ultra conservative dates I've been given the past for my phones. They had crazy back ordered dates, but came a week or two after launch day. We'll see.

Same here, though I ordered online. What model did you order?
My watches have arrived at the international UPS hub in Louisville. Based on my past preorders with Apple, my watches will be at my local hub by morning. Shame they will sit there until Friday, what a tease. Unless UPS is going to hold them there until closer to Friday.

Wow, your Watches moved FAST! Mine is still in Shanghai, you two already had them make it to Kentucky. What models did you order?
Delivery dates can be conservative and it's not unusual for dates to come forward by a week or so
Both are 42mm series 3 sports with LTE. Confirmation email at 3:02 AM. It's looking like UPS will be keeping them in Louisville until Thursday though, probably to make sure none of the local hubs give in to pestering customers wanting to get their watches earlier.

my Series 3 LTE Space Gray 42mm Olive loop at 12:03 PDT had a status update "Preparing to ship" delivered by the 22nd
Sadly Yes, I can say FIVE for the moment He HE (my 38mm SSSB Series 0 is currently at Apple Repair for short battery life) I really want to sell a couple but the resale value is so poor.
I saw your Swappa reference and just created a Account there. I think I will sell my SSSB 38mm Series 0 there once it is returned from Apple...and then a couple more...
Hey there!!! Nice to see you too! I ordered the SS in 38MM with the white band. We will probably be seeing each other with the X launch... hopefully my order doesn't get canceled.

I hope it's a conservative date... I'm going try the store on Friday just in case. I ordered the 38MM in SS with white band. Hopefully we with both have ours by the end if the month.
Americans are already able to track their orders. Usually we in the UK (and I believe the rest of the EU) have to wait a little longer to see tracking information - I don't know exactly why but it seems to be the same thing every year. I also understand that this doesn't mean our products HAVEN'T shipped yet, just that we can't track them until a later stage, so it's nothing to worry about.
Well my 42mm black SS with black band went to preparing for shipment overnight and has departed Suzhou, China while my wife's 38mm SS with white band has been at preparing for shipment since Saturday morning and hasn't budged...hers is still listed as Ready for UPS. My watch is still listed as preparing for shipment according to Apple though.
I was finally able to find my package using my phone number. To any others in the Toronto area, I purchased my Space Gray 42mm GPS right at 3:01am, and the status changed on Saturday to prepping for shipping. The interesting thing is where it says "shipping from" as Burlington is just outside of Toronto for those who don't know the Toronto area... so maybe my watch is shipping from a warehouse here? See the Special Instructions area below... "At the request of the shipper, Authorize shipping release is not available..."
