I don’t normally check these threads, but, I was curious if others were in my situation as well. Charged on the 18th, hoping to see some movement today as well!
Got a tip for us?

Just signed into My Choice on UPS (the account is free I believe), and I’m able to see my package!!! On the Apple website it still say preparing for shipment. I ordered the Series 3 aluminum gold casing 42mm in gold.

This is my first Pre Order with Best Buy. I have read some past threads and they mentioned we won't see any updates until late Thursday or Friday morning. Something about Apples restrictions on when third parties can ship new releases make it to where they have to ship same day air.
:-( I ordered my watch within the first 10 min of the pre-order for delivery to Winnipeg on 22 Sept, and has been stuck in being prepared for shipment since Saturday. I have done as other suggested and tried to get tracking info from UPS (both UPS MyChoice, and tracking by reference), and there is nothing found. :-(
I signed up for UPS MyChoice as well just for this purpose and it's showing nothing scheduled for Sept 22.
Maybe it's a Canada thing.
I am still concerned... no movement yet here for me and still shows as PFS on Apple's site. Hope today can be the day there is some good tracking information.
Not a Canada thing, I can see where mine is and my Apple Watch is going to be delivered in Quebec
In the same boat. Ordered exact watch and my CC was charged over the weekend for delivery to Toronto. According to UPS, the delivery says its being shipped from Burlington, and is awaiting pickup.
Are you seeing tracking updates using UPS MyChoice? Or did you receive a tracking number from Apple already?
For those of us that are watching our shipping progress so we know it has been shipped when do you think Apple will actually move the status from preparing to shipped?
I ordered a space grey being delivered to apple store in waterloo, Canada and my apple status says " Order In Progress " and hasn't moved at all. But I have a Pick Up window of 12:30 on Sept. 22. Does anyone know if it will actually be there even though it say order in progress?
They were on this flight: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS2997/history/20170920/0744Z/PANC/KSDF
They are there, don't worry
They usually don't show any sort of activity until the "big sort" that happens at night, you may see an arrival scan later this evening, then an "in transit" scan when they get sorted and moved to holding, then another "in transit" when the big sort happens Thursday night prior to launch where they get sorted out to their destination planes, then departure scans once the aircraft coming to your area departs.
I did sign up to UPS Mychoice and found the delivery through my cell number as ref. Apple still says "Prep for shipping". I've tried using my order number etc, to try and find any other shipping on UPS, but all that comes up is that a shipping label has been created, and is awaiting UPS pickup from A.I Logistics in Burlington for 22/09 delivery.
I don't think thats the correct flight. Our watches say they departed Alaska on the 17th. That link shows a flight leaving on the 19th.They were on this flight: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/UPS2997/history/20170920/0744Z/PANC/KSDF

for UPS my choice I initially had no luck seeing tracking. Once I went in and updated my home address it automatically picked up my AW.
I ordered at 10am EDT on Friday - 42mm Space Black SS w/black sport band - and have a ship date of 9/29-10/6. My status is and has been In Progress since ordering.

My watch status is exactly where yours is!!
You and I are n the same boat. I’m thinking we’ll get movement sometime today.
Ah you guys are the early group that have been sitting for days. There’s a group that got held up in Shanghai until yesterday or so, our watches were on the flight I just posted. My mistake
My Order Status page on Verizon says expected ship date 9/22
I called them today and the CSR said it says it won't ship until the 22nd and be here Monday or Tuesday... If this is true I'm going to be pretty irritated... The e-mail even says "Deliver by 09/22/2017" and so did their website when I ordered it.
Is this standard for Verizon to show the wrong ship date on preorders?
I got through on their online Chat and that rep said: "Amy: this the generic response and it will ship in the order you order it." - trying to decipher that grammar makes me think that the 9/22 ship date is generic and is incorrect?
This is good to know, thanks! This is the first time I've ever tried preordering through Verizon vs. through Apple and it's pretty convoluted, their system wouldn't process my payment and I ended up having to go through PayPal and now this ship date debacle...
