Apple Watch Series 3 Pre-Order Thread

PDACPA said:
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 had the same shipping date as as you both for my SS 42 LTE.

Mine shipped from Changshu, China I assume its catching a flight in Shanghai, CN. Shipping says Standard still but Apples Standard Shipping is usually just a few days which is good considering most stuff you order from china takes a month + to get (At least the stuff in the past not thru apple). Mine started moving at like 2am EST. and I will have it by Friday. I wish you guys the best.

Sounds like ours might be the Monday Delivery (unless they do Saturday). Guess I need to track as mine is coming to my office and if coming Saturday, I better work!
 
Is anyone upgrading from a Series 2 to a Series 3? I’d like to, though I cannot seem to find a place where I’ll get a decent return on my SS Series 2.
 
I picked up my SBSS 42/Milanese this morning at Apple... As I mentioned, I had one on order from AT&T; I cancelled SBSS/sport on 9/22 to get faster shipping Milanese and it took 3 days to get order to go through for SBSS/Milanese, so AT&T order date was officially 9/25. I checked istocknow every few hours and after giving up, checked again because others on this thread had success yesterday. Looks like the watches are trickling in, as I was able to snag mine, and someone else was there picking up a SG Alu 42.

The Apple employee told me he used istocknow, as well. Ha!

First impressions: for those coming from a S0, this is so worth the wait. It's so much smoother, and the LTE is sweet...

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.

I ordered mine with EE about a week ago and was originally told it would be end of October. Then mine moved to 3rd-9th. Then today which is the 3rd it said it would be delivered... on the 3rd . I’m expecting it to arrive tomorrow, I asked for it to be delivered to store. It said it’s been dispatched so... let’s see!

I know man trust me I understand. I checked my shipping maybe a million times. Yeah it’s definitely not fair if you ordered yours first. They need to fix whatever system they have. It’s horrible. I hope you hear something soon. I’ll keep ya posted on what’s going on.

Anyone have any shipping updates from BB? I ordered Space Gray LTE 42mm on 9/26. Original ship date of 10/20 hasn't changed.
 
Ordered my Apple Watch Series 3 - Space Black Stainless - Black Milanese - 42 mm from AT&T on 09/27/2017.

Just received notification that it has been picked up in Ft. Worth and will be delivered tomorrow.

A whole week earlier than what was originally expected.
shipment date:
Between 10/11/2017 and 10/18/2017

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?

There is nothing wrong with you. I am doing the same thing. I ordered SS Silver 38mm on Sept 16. Projected delivery Oct 16-Oct 23.

Congrats!!! I can’t wait to get mine. It seems like it doesn’t really matter when you order. They just get delivered whenever.

Preordered gray Series3 edition from B&H on 9/19
Didn't work out quite as expected
Now they are closing shop 10/4-10/14 for a holiday (which I was unaware of) and telling me "ETA sometime in November" (I guess Apple will not bother sending them anything while their business is closed) ...
 
Received my space Black 42mm cellular from target in the mail today! Got it all set up with Verizon service too! Tried posting a pic but it said the file is too big.

I am not seeing many (any) comments about 38mm SS watches with white sport band being delivered. Am I imagining things?
That is what I ordered from Apple on 9/16. Delivery date is getting closer, I was just hoping that it would be delivered early.

Yeah I noticed that too. That is what I ordered too but mine isn’t expected until oct 24th at the earliest. (Ordered 9-27)
I haven’t seen anyone take delivery yet on that model.
On checking Apple stock, all 12 of the Apple stores within a 87 mile radius of me are now saying available nov.7th. Yikes!
