Are there any improvements to the processor vs the Series 4?
 
If you have a UPS account check it. You might be surprised to see your watch has already shipped.

Mine is now showing as shipped (via UPS My Choice). Apple still shows it only as "Preparing to Ship". It does show delivery as the 20th.

I usually have them "hold for delivery" but for some reason the customer center is not showing as an option this year.

This option should appear once it's in the destination country.
 
Strangely the military discount makes it so you can’t choose what band you want... sucks but still ordered the 44mm Silver Aluminum I wanted for Sep 20. But it comes with a white Sport Band. Not my style.

I currently have a Space Grey Nike and am kind of over dark watches for life... I guess because most of the famous Swiss Watch makers I love don’t do dark metals for their flagship classics... not that Apple Watch looks particularly traditional anyway.
 
amazon currently has $50 off select models of 44mm AW5 SS for preorder

SS with milanese loop $749
SBSS with milanese loop $749
SBSS with black sport band $699
GSS with stone sport band $699

Has anyone who ordered seen their order status “backtrack?”

I ordered a SS right after the keynote with my debit card. The charge hit the acct today and this afternoon my order status changed to “preparing to ship” with the option to cancel gone.

I was just in my orders tonight and I see the status changed BACK to processing and the order can be cancelled again.

Never saw this happen and a little concerned. Checked UPS and cannot find an order by searching my phone number or order number.

How often do watches wind up shipping early? Some stainless is showing for in store pickup on the 20th but early October for delivery. Big box stores don't seem to have the sport loop either, just bands.
 
Has anybody who ordered just after the Apple event seen any tracking numbers in UPS My Choice?

I have a tracking number in UPS My Choice and movement. It is showing for "end of day" delivery for the 20th. Assuming it becomes an option, I will "hold for delivery" at a customer care center and then pick it up at 9am.
 
Still showing Processing for Sep 26 - Oct 1 delivery. I guess Ceramic plus Modern Buckle takes a lot of time to process.
