Me too here! Anyone here show expedited shipping on theirs? mine shows standard. I don't even recall even given an option.
mine is standard too. tried to get it changed. they can't do it once ordered.
im sure we'll see movement this week. lots of stores getting stock right now.
my local apple store had the model i wanted. placed order for pick up.. just
waiting on BofW approval lol.

That'd be awesome. When i first called in and asked about ordering one they did tell me about the 11/8-11/29 time frame, but when i called and actually ordered, the guy who took my order said they should be shipping out this week so i guess we'll find out.
Target backordered my order after telling me i’m good. Im pissed but went on apple.com found a store with instore pickup I placed order and am waiting on pickup confirmation. I have to take a road trip to pick it up not close but **** it lol
Just picked up my SS LTE. Seems like more are coming into the physical Apple stores now.
I wish more apple stores near me had stock. The closes apple store to me that just now has stock of the configuration I wasn't is over an hr away. Oh well, already have my watch coming from target.
Mine just shipped from Target. Ordered yesterday. 42mm space gray with dark olive band (gps+cellular)
I’m on my way to pick up my in store pickup from Apple I snaggeg. SS Silver 42mm. Don’t ask me how far I am driving just don’t do it. All I can say is I am a true Apple fan and it makes me mad sometimes lol
OK, so now I have a delimma. Local apple store now has the cellular configuration I want, but target shipped my watch out today with expected delivery Oct 11th. Should I go buy from the local apple store and return the watch from target, or just wait for my watch to get here? Decisions decisions....
Buy and return if you have the cash to spare
I'd get from apple and just decline shipment from target
Make sure to use istocknow. Local stores in SoCal started getting inventory. Was able to snag a 42 SS White.
Update: after contemplating if I should reserve one from my local Apple store I went to reserve when suddenly it was marked as unavailable. So I decided to rush down to the Apple store and ask a sales rep. I got lucky they had limit supplies of SG 42mm gray band.
Now headed home to set up my watch.
Keep checking your local Apple stores for availability and if they have in stock and then change to none just physically go and ask. I think the website under reports how much they have in stock.

so the apple store near me has the white sports band stainless steel 42mm LTE available but the one i really want and ordered is the space black ss. i’m so impatient and anxious to have this watch right now i’m willing to settle but i know i’ll have buyers remorse because it’s not what i want.

Don't settle. I am opposite - I want a 42mm silver ss with white sport band (which is on order but not du til end of month) but all my local store had was space black ss with Milanese loop so I bought but I don't think it suits me so it's going back. Whatever, if any, Apple Watch I decide to keep must look good on my wrist! So far a gold so the punk sand sport loop and the ss sb Milanese have failed to satisfy me so I am going to ha e to be patient
which s not my strongest point.Thanks! I thought it had a cover and was not a sleeved. Very nice though!
