I had great luck getting my watch ordered on the App Store on Safari. It loaded faster then the app on my phone. I was 1/2 way through checking out when the app launched.
 
Just managed to get through and order the 44mm Space Grey Aluminium Apple Watch 4.
ordered on my iPhone through the Store App while my browser was still waiting!
Now lets see if the 21st delivery date holds true.

Same with stainless black, the stainless must all be delayed a week for some reason. I went with aluminum this time.. was on the fence over which to get but the delay sealed the deal for me.

I Purchased my 44 black stainless the second the website went live, and I was also predicted a September 28 – October 2 delivery. I agree the stainless Models must not have an immediate ship date from what I can see.
 
Ordered at :09 past the hour and shipping slipped to October 2-5 for my stainless steel with white sports band series 4.

Wow! Didn’t think these would sell so fast!!! Maybe faster than iPhones.
 
I know it's not a huge deal, but I'm low-key pissed (let's just say annoyed) that I had to refresh for 15 minutes (and the white page flashing to the black Almost There page didn't help my headache) while others were able to pre-order on the app (which I can't do since my phone is set to the US store and I'm in Canada at the moment...) and now I'll be waiting 2-3 weeks for it...

some people are getting it sept 21

I’m hoping maybe that’s just a broad window that they provided, perhaps my watch could ship earlier before September 28. I hope it does, but I don’t mind waiting anyways. Good news for those receiving thier Watches on the 21st.
 
Stainless slipped quickly. Ordered from Best Buy with a Gift Card + Credit Card. Says it will ship by 9.21. We'll see. It took a long time for them to add the Stainless Black to their options for live ordering. Others were live right away.
 
Darn I was in such a rush i added 2 of my selection to my order, CAN I CHANGE THIS BEFORE IM CHARGED?
I accidentally ordered two watches on launch day of the original Apple Watch. Like you, I was freaking out that I had TWO expensive purchases coming. Then, after a couple of days, I realized the Apple Watches were selling for hundreds over the purchase price on eBay. I listed my second one on Craigslist and made $200 on it.

I suggest waiting and letting it ship to you, you'll at least be able to sell it for what you paid for it and you'll probably make a little cash off of it.

Most of us planned in advance and changed our store location to avoid this problem. At least now you’ll know for future!
 
I’m sure, I was really quick in ordering my 44mm gold+milanaise at 9:03. But there was no choice for an instore pickup or delivery at 9.21. My delivery will be 9.26-10.2.
Country: Germany

Same here, tried to order as soon as it went live, for pickup at my local Apple Store (Sindelfingen), no chance at all, it’s immediately sold out.

So, I decided I will wait until there is actual stock available (I’m happy to wait). Would have been nice to get one now, but, yeah.
