Apple Watch Series 3 Pre-Order Thread

My AT&T order has a shipping window of 21st-28th of Sept as AT&T didn't give just single dates and I don't have any movement. My order still saying "In Progress".

This is why you never ever order through AT&T (or any carrier). They never receive as much stock as Apple at launch.
 
Finally, my watch in sitting in KY all is set for Friday delivery. I'm just curious as to why UPS states the weight is 3 kg (6.6 lbs). I got the aluminium sport watch so I figure I will not get the fancy box; only the basic one. My iPhone 8 Plus box however weights 2 lbs.

No one is going to receive more stock then Apple, But Ive yet to see anyone with an AT&T order have any change where Verizon and T Mobile have orders shipping.

I ordered through AT&T to take advantage of their payment plan

AT&T doesn't issue tracking until they have their stock and begin shipping. Been through this year after year. Just be patient. Your order will go to Preparing for Shipment and you will be charged and then it will ship and arrive tomorrow, assuming you were given a 9/22 date.

I think the concern is that they gave a pretty broad shipping window 9/21 - 9/28 which doesn't mean it will get shipped anytime soon. It very well could be, but nothing is in writing like the other companies.

And I just talked to support, which basically said nothing helpful. They said (like OP), that they don't send out ship notifications until watches are actually being shipped. However, dude said that would be tomorrow since that's "launch day", and they wouldn't get the watches and start distributing them until then. I don't think that's quite right, and he was just making up something to give me an answer, since I was asking for a specific ship date. I guess we can only wait and see at this point, unfortunately.
 
i had 2 order my watch with T-Mobile 3x. They messed up the first 2 and now i am stuck waiting until 10/23-11/3 smdh

The call center folks, while meaning well, know jack squat. AT&T covers their a$$ by giving that shipping window. They've done it for years. Visit any of the past years threads...people get windows for the week after launch and get their order on launch day. It's ok. Trust me. Breathe. ;)

Hoping for that outcome. We should know by sometime this evening if the orders are shipping. Worse case if they ship tomorrow I hope they do Saturday Delivery.

Same for me. My estimated ship dates are the same and my order is “still in progress”. This after a email confirmation of my order from ATT on pre-order day and a text (later in the day on the 15th) that my “order is almost ready to ship”.

That's why I used them too. It's a great way to get one.
 
Just got notification that my Watch has been picked up by FedEx in Memphis and is on its way! Delivery by 8pm tomorrow. Verizon site has been updated as well.

I ordered for in store pick up on the 22nd but it still says processing. When will it update?

Mine as well. Maybe it won’t update until they’re ready for pickup? This is the first time I’m doing an in-store pickup as I usually get it shipped directly to me.

I ordered
Apple Watch Series 3 GPS, 42mm Silver Aluminum Case with Fog Sport Band

to be shipped to an Apple store in NYC and scheduled a pickup time on the 22nd but my order still shows "In Progress" . is shipping and tracking info different when you choose in store pickup?

Yes, you won’t see anything until day of/night before saying your order is ready for pick up at “X:XX” time.

My Apple store Apple watch order is for instore pickup at 8am tommorow. Customer service told me that my order will for sure be there to just be there at 8am because you probally won't get the notification before that. They said we will be there already about time you get it lol. Is anyone going early just to be there early? I may get there at 7 to see if there will be a line or any hype.
 
Has anyone with post-9/22 delivery dates had their cards charged from Apple yet? Just curious.
 
According to its birth certificate (serial number), my new watch’s birthday (manufacture date) says week 36. That equates to the week of September 4.
