Looks like watches are still going to be in the delivery state at the same time as the iPhone X! I wonder what kind of mess that is going to create for all?

I ordered a 42mm SS+Cellular/White Sport Band on 10/12, and was given an early Nov estimate. Checked last night, and they had them at a local Apple Store, so I cancelled it and did a local pick-up. I got lucky.
 
Placed an order from Apple for the 38mm SS with the Soft White band on 9/26 for a delivery window of 10/24-10/31. Turns out that they are in stock again at several local Apple stores now. Picked one up today! Canceled my original order.

I ordered the exact same as you only one day later and I haven’t heard a peep.
You got very lucky. CONGRATS!

"Dan D." one of UPS's chat agents told me that it looks like there was a mechanical issue with a plane. No more information available and no ETA on the shipment. Sigh. :(


P.S. He said he's fairly certain that the plane didn't catch fire, so we've got that going for us...

Got notice this morning from Apple that my gold 38mm LTE with pink sand loop band is to be delivered 10/23 which is about week early. It was ordered 9/26 after cancelling a preorder with B&H in NYC (my long time large camera/electronic store) that wasn’t able to be filled. I then tracked UPS from my order at Apple store and it has left China after clearing and is to be delivered Friday 10/20.
 
I ordered the 42mm Gold w/ Pink Sand Band on Sept 22nd through T-Mobile. My shipping dates updated this morning from 11/8-11/22 to 10/16-10/18 and I got charged! :D

so its weird. on Apple order status it shows No Signature Required and apparently FedEx made an attempt to deliver and since nobody was home they didnt deliver it.
 
I decided to look into getting a 42mm 3+Cell SSSB, looked like delivery for Nov 3-10. Saw it showed available for pickup at my local store! Went in to pick it up added Apple Care and came home with it, the next morning. The funny part was the salesperson who I talked to said he was still waiting for his to come in! I'm sure they get a discount, but wonder which model he'd have to wait for!

They did this to me last week. Apple says no signature but if you pull up the Fed Ex tracker... it shows signature required.
