It looks like the most recent cargo flight of watches has been delayed for a longer-than-usual delay. Maybe the weather? Maybe the plane broke down?
Got a tip for us?

Order still says processing. I’m surprised we aren’t able to track the order by reference number on fedex.com yet
I preordered 9/15 @3:02 via app
My card was charged (pending) 9/15 and was changed to preparing for shipment on 9/15 during the evening.
On 9/18 the charge went through, but is still preparing for shipment.
Says it will be delivered 9/22... Apple never lets me down, even if I haven't seen anything... I know it will be here
42mm reg Apple Watch3 with black sport band and no celluar

I'm guessing mine will be on this flight—which would probably be the last one to leave China in order to be delivered here on Friday. <SoCalGadgetGuy crosses his fingers>
Did your watch arrive yesterday or today? Hope you were lucky enough to get it early!!
Perhaps its because Apple's testing should have seen this issue. The situation is that the phone is not even out, and 5 or 6 reporters evaluating the phone find the issue? That tells me it was in fact well known to Apple because there is no way they could have missed it.
Been a while since I have checked this post, I caught a terrible cold and am still getting over it. Anyway, my Watch showed up in UPS system on Sunday, but it was not searchable via reference until Monday. It shows that it arrived in Anchorage yesterday night around 9PM, left around 11PM, then reached Louisville at 8:46AM today (all times local). Now it just needs to navigate it's way to Phoenix.
Do they still come in that box? My S0 Sport came in a nice box that the sports no longer come with. I’m going SS does since that’s what ordered.
Just got a text saying my order has been received and I'll get another text with tracking information when it ships. Credit card has now been charged too.
Anyone in Toronto have any insight into our shipping? I got one of my bands already which arrived a day early and my time estimate for the watch shows Sept 25, so i am hopeful that I might get it Friday, too. Anyone have any insights for me? Upgrading to the Series 3 SS with Milanese loop, from first gen sports version, so am stoked to get this thing! 
Not sure we can really say definitely yes, but the S2 SS did.

My tracking from UPS shows it's ready for pickup from "AI Logistics" in Burlington, which makes me think the Toronto orders are already here coming from a warehouse. Will have to wait until tomorrow, hopefully we'll get some updates. I have a 22/09 delivery date.
Sweet, thank you! I thought as Canucks we couldn't get the UPS to show our order, can I ask how you got to see that? Thank you so much!
I don’t know yet I have not seen any hits on a early unboxing or anything I hope so though for that much money I want something nice with it lol
I found mine by looking under reference and using my provided cell number.
