Apple Watch Series 3 Pre-Order Thread

Devildog08 said:
If you are with Tmobile and have a activation issue either go in store call customer care or use twitter with Tmobile and give them these instructions. You know what’s sad I had to provid THEM the instructions once I did it was done in 5-10 minutes. After you activate it go on your Tmobile account and pair your digits line to your mobile line and your done.


they recently published the steps required to activate the watch on their internal forum (knowledge base) and without hassle, they were able to activate my watch.

Here are the steps:
* Activate new Digits line
* Instead of Sim number, enter EID number of the watch
* Choose BYOD (buy your own device option when asked in their tool which i believe is called quickview).
* Once activated, go to your watch, setup cellular and it will go straight to the page which says congratulations, your apple watch is activated.

Glad you were able to get it activated.
 
Anyone who’s ordered with EE in the UK got a watch yet?
From the EE forum there are a lot of people with a 3rd-9th ETA but other then that very few have got one.

Thanks for posting... I had been checking istocknow/BB multiple times every day, and gave up defeated early yesterday, was going to just wait until my AT&T order shipped (whenever that was). Your post made me check again, and in a serendipitous moment, my exact config just popped in stock at my local Apple store!

I pickup a 42 SBSS/Milanese this morning when they open :)

Thank you!

Ordered my AW3 on 9/15 @11:20am and got a shipping estimate of 10/13-10/20. Finally moved to “PREPARING TO SHIP” today.

Any idea how much longer until I have it to delivered to my door?

Well mine went to preparing to ship yesterday evening EST around 7. It has already been shipped and is on its way. FedEx originally had said it should ship wed and arrive Monday but now its saying shipped and will arrive on Friday. So assuming you ordered from Apple it should be shipped and on its way by the end of today.

I ordered black stainless steel Milanese Loop LTE Apple Watch from AT&T on 9/25. Ship date is 10/9 to 10/16. Anyone with similar shipping dates that have recieved their watch or Have preparing to ship notification.
 
I kept checking Apple and Best Buy everyday for new inventory. Picked up 38mm gps + cellular silver aluminum with silver loop band at Best Buy yesterday and a 42mm gps + cellular silver aluminum with fog sport band at my local Apple store. Keep checking for new inventory. You can get one before the online shipping dates!

I ordered Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular, 42mm Space Gray Aluminum Case with Gray Sport Band from Apple on the 19th ship date 17-24 of oct and still no movement on mine...
 
Delivers 26 Oct, 2017 - 02 Nov, 2017 by Standard Shipping never felt so far away for my SS 42mm LTE Milanese:(
 
I can’t even find a s3 space grey one out there in store! I’ve checked everywhere! I feel hopeless:(:oops::(
 
Just got off the phone with T-Mobile. I was told there was a shipment of watches to T-mobile on Mon. Oct. 2nd. and there will be another shipment on the 18th. I mentioned the back-order date of 11/8-11/28 and he said "you'll definitely get it way before then". So... ummmm, we'll see! lol

I ordered mine from Best Buy on 9/19 with an expected in-store pickup date of 10/13. Has anyone had any luck getting theirs earlier through Best Buy? I also ordered an additional band that has to be shipped to my house, and no movement on that either. I’m getting impatient!

You and I had the same order date and delivery date and my status changed to the same thing this morning. Appreciate the movement, but Apple orders seem way slower than the cell carriers, Target, Best Buy, etc.

Does Fedex show where it is shipping from? Did your "standard shipping" change to something else once it shipped?

I ordered 2 Silver/Fog Apple Watches (separate orders) from T-Mobile on 9/15 with a 10/23 delivery date and nothing so far. I keep checking UPS and Fedex to see if a shipment has been initiated.

That’s terrible. I hope you get an update soon.
 
So anxious I decided to reach out to Apple and chat with them regarding my order. I knew I wouldn't get information more than I already knew. Thelma told me there is a chance my watch will arrive sooner than the estimated 10/13-10/20 delivery window.

I'm to the point where I'm checking my bank account once every hour... What's wrong with me?
