For anyone who has an apple store status of "preparing for shipment" OR they don't have any tracking information here is how to get tracking info: (thanks to techdude13!)
Look back a few pages, but short and sweet:
Sign up for UPS MyChoice, if you haven't already.
Sign in - your package should show up.
If you don't want to, search by reference (go to https://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US and select by Reference on the left). Then search with the phone number associated with your account/order or your Web Order # (Wxxxxx) minus the last 2 digits.
My watch is in Hong Kong now, its taking an Asian tour apparently and it doesn't want to leave lol
This Watch is traveling more in 3 days than I do in one year.
It's seeing Asia for me, I have never been over there... maybe one launch year I will have to time a vacation to coincide with a launch and stalk the UPS trucks xD. That would be a cool "insider" video for Apple and UPS - where and how your iPhone / Apple Watch get to you. Great PR for UPS, at least.
This week couldn't be moving at a slower pace...
For those of us having products shipped to stores, we should eventually see a status of "Shipped to Store" and then it will go to "Ready for Pickup" when you can go in and get it. You only get "Preparing for Shipment" etc. if you're having it delivered.
Last time I did this, it never went to "Shipped to Store", but it was ready for pickup right on time!
Take a look at the "Reference" numbers on the tracking page for each one individually. It looks like the watches at least have their Web order# (Wxxxxxx) minus the last two digits, so you can tell which is which. Just compare with your order on Apple.com
I pre-ordered two Apple watches 42mm w/ Cellular to be picked up at the my local Apple Store. I ordered these just after midnight California time. I'm so excited my wife and I are going to have Apple Watches for the first time.
My card was charged this morning for $928 so its official. Three more days until pick up!

According to the tracking number I got from UPS MyChoice. Mine is now sitting in Louisville, KY. Looks like it is being held there until Apple gives authorization to release it.

My Card was charged all the way back on Saturday. No kidding!!!
Same here. This is the earliest time from any posting I have seen. Order confirmation 3:02 EDT.
No move from Suzhou. The phone went in the meantime from Suzhou to Shanghai to Hongkong.
The watch better hurry up ...
Don't worry OBirder I am sure it will get here on time. When that happens it will usually fall off the radar and then end up in the US magically. Happened to me with my Series 0

My email confirmation came in at 3:02 but I’m sure I was done before that time.
What is going on with my watch?! Everyone else's has shipped but mine... Anyone else in this boat? I hope it still comes by the 22nd
Glad I am not the only one too! Mine is the exact same thing. Created label on 9/16 with 9/22 delivery date but no movement. Out of curiosity... which watch did you order?
I don't think you were asking me but I got a Grey Stainless Steel one. When I got my original Series 0 it was a sports model. I chipped the face. So I bought another Series 0 that was Stainless Steel and have had no issues. Therefore, I dropped the extra cash on my Series 3 and got the Stainless Steel
I ordered Apple Watch series 3 (non cellular) about a minute after it came out on Friday. It says it should be here on the 22nd but still says order is being prepared for shipment and I have not received any email from Apple about a tracking code Anyone else have this problem!?
I had to use the UPS MyChoice account I have set up to find the tracking number. Apple says its still preparing to ship.
It's moving even slower for me knowing my watch is only two-ish hours away from me via UPS logistics but I won't get it for another 3 days.
My first Apple Watch, too and my CC was charged, also! Is it Friday yet ?? Haha
