I was about to order and it said Sep 25-29 for blue 44 mm aluminum and black braided loop and it already slipped to the end of October!
Fingers crossed for Friday, I guess. Already ordered some bands from Amz (Kades and Mifa are great brands to start with).
All of the bands look to have Friday delivery, it seems to be the watch itself. If you open apple incognito, Ships says "2-3 days" until you input a zip code. 25-29 dates will likely be updated to the 18th once the orders process.
Here’s the frustrating thing about Apple. They keep the series 3 around (forcing developers to have to continue to support it) just to hit a price point because margins wouldn’t allow them to price the SE at $199 and they didn’t want to raise the entry point to the Watch. Why not instead design something that would replace the series 3 and if you really want to get more people into the Watch eat some margin and keep the price at $199. I hate when their product lines get messy just because they’re designing products to meet price points.
Ah I realized the problem with unavailable for purchase. The Aluminum + red braided sport band isn't available. Period.
IT literally has a 2.5X brighter LTPO always on display. Just bought it. Then again... I've never had an Apple Watch. This is going to be too cool! Series 5 is awesome tho too
Not a particularly impressive update. But maybe there's more I'm missing.
I wasn’t going to until I saw the blood oxygen sensor. I have severe asthma, and use a pulse oximeter regularly, so this upgrade makes sense for me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t see the point either.
Ordered 44mm graphite stainless steel with charcoal band, shipping 24-28th Sept.
Only GPS+Cellular available on UK store and shipping slipped from Friday to 2 weeks in a matter of minutes.

I've been jealous of the larger screen and always-on display for a year now, time to pull the trigger (with the $155 trade-in, of course.)
Ordered mine.
I was an early adopter with the Series 0 on day 1, endured the slow speed (Series 0 was not ready for release) and upgraded to Series 3 LTE two years later. The Series 3 should've been the first Watch release — needed that extra time to catch up on speed, battery life, Siri responsiveness and independence from the iPhone. I honestly could've kept it going for another year or more. It's a fantastic piece of tech.
But it was time (hehe) to treat myself to an upgrade with the top of the line finish that I've wanted since the first Watch but didn't feel would be worth it because the tech had some catching up to do. I pre-ordered the Series 6 in Graphite Stainless steel with a leather strap. I'll add the link bracelet when I'm recovered from going broke purchasing the Watch.

I really wasn't going to upgrade from my S4 but I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I got the aluminum one, like my S4 and I got a trade in for $140 so I don't feel like I'm out that much in the long run. I'm hoping that I can stay on this two to three year upgrade program. I ordered the silver one again because I like it and it goes with all of my brands. Even though I was very tempted by the new blue color. I order the Spruce Aurora/Vapor Green Nike sport band to go with it. Order says September 25th-29th but like everyone else, I'm hoping for earlier.
I just ordered 2, no trouble. The shipping times didn't budge any since I started, even though it took us about an hour to talk about the sizes and colours we wanted.
1x 40mm blue aluminum case w/ surf blue band—est. delivery Oct 6-9th
1x 44mm blue aluminum case w/ black sport bland—est. delivery Sept 29-Oct 1st
Same, I just wish that SE has ECG and would buy it to my mom immediately. Right now it is S4 without ECG which is shame (processor is still working very well on my S4).
I don’t think Space Black SS is even available anymore, so not sure which one you are looking at.
However, It looks like you can mix and match bands with faces in the watch studio on apple’s website (can do sport bands with SS models, etc.).
I’m thinking if you don’t cut it along the dotted line you won’t get an accurate measurement.
