Apple Watch Series 6 and SE Orders Start Shipping Ahead of Deliveries Tomorrow

[MacRumors]

Apple on Tuesday introduced the Apple Watch Series 6 and the Apple Watch SE, and orders kicked off on the same day.

The first Apple Watch Series 6 and SE deliveries are expected on Friday, and orders in the United States, UK, and other countries have begun shipping out ahead of tomorrow's delivery date.

Not all of those who purchased an Apple Watch on Tuesday will be getting their new watches this Friday because many Apple Watch Series 6 combinations featured delivery estimates of September 25 to September 29 from the time that orders kicked off.

In the United States, some of those who have estimates of September 25 to September 29 may get their orders somewhat early, as there are reports on the MacRumors forums from users who are able to track their shipments using reference numbers (typically a phone number or an order number) or advanced tracking features offered by FedEx and UPS.

Apple Stores that are open may have some Apple Watch Series 6 and SE stock available starting tomorrow as tomorrow is the official launch date, but no in-store availability is listed as of right now.

Many orders placed today for new Apple Watch models will see delivery dates in early October.

The Apple Watch Series 6 introduces blood oxygen monitoring for the first time, adding new LEDs and infrared light to detect the percentage of oxygen in the blood. Low blood oxygen can be a sign of a medical emergency that needs immediate attention.

There's also a new S6 chip, improvements to the Always-On display, new blue and (PRODUCT)RED aluminum colors, and new Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop band options that fit over the wrist with stretch and have no clasps. The Series 6 is priced starting at $399.

The Apple Watch SE is Apple's new low-cost Apple Watch. It's identical in design to the Series 6, but it does not have blood oxygen monitoring, it cannot take ECGs, it has a slower S5 chip, and it is available in aluminum only. The SE is priced starting at $279.

[metalsiren]

[HeavenDynamic]

Mine is still processing.
44mm silver stainless steel with sport band

 

[chipb]

Ordered from B&H so guessing my Nike SE will be a while, hopefully by months end. No big deal, I can wait, been without my broken S3 for over a year 🙁

 

[omenatarhuri]

Mine would've been end of November so didn't put it in, too long.

 

[Eorlas]

any idea what store stock is expected to be like?

 

[Attirex]

DEFINITELY need a new watch so I know what time it is when I don't leave the house for another two years.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

I’m excited to see some real pictures of the blue color. It looks pretty good in the marketing shots, but you can’t trust those.

 

[Ds6778]

Have not been charged yet and still shows processing. Delivery dates are Sep. 21-23. Trying to understand how some with October delivery dates are seeing movement already lol

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

All watches still in processing stage

 

[BigMcGuire]

Still preparing to Ship - Sept 25-29 for both my wife and myself. I should have looked harder for the Sept 18 - did quite a few combinations and only saw 25-29 for us. Oh well. Next week!

Given how delivery dates are in mid November, I would say pretty scarce.

Some band combinations push delivery out pretty far. In some cases you’d be better off buying a more common band with the watch, and then buying the band you really want separately.

When I took a look at the space gray with the new green braided loop, it said November. But buying that braided loop band separately would be delivered much faster.

The Titanium looks like it pairs pretty well with the Baltic Blue leather link off that photo. I myself can’t decide... Silver Titanium or Graphite Stainless Steel? Ugh.

Anyways, Aussie here, I’m off to the store today to try and get a walk-in purchase, with no new iPhones, hopefully the queue to get in will be shorter!

 

[Phima256]

Any of the graphite SS shipping on launch day? I'm really hoping for a real world comparison with the SBSS before purchasing.

 

[Chompineer]

Still waiting for just my Solo Loop to ship, been sitting on preparing for a few days.

I couldn't decide which one I was going to keep but I myself also leaning towards the Titanium Baltic Leather Link. I believe this one is the best looking one. Plus it will match with the new mid-night iPhone

I wonder how scratch resistant the Graphite steel is.

We will be waiting a long time hopefully it ships out sooner and the delivery date changes.

Thank you! Which one did you like the most?

 

[decypher44]

Still sitting at this stage. Ordered pretty soon after the online store opened back up. Unable to find anything on FedEx or UPS by reference. 🤷‍♂️

 

[nburwell]

I'm definitely curious to see how the blue case looks in the real world. It looks gorgeous on Apple's site, but I'm looking forward to see user pictures of it tomorrow.

 

[MacLawyer]

Is there a trade in program for this?

 

[pers0n]

Tempting, but I may get one of theses in 5yrs, waiting for an SE model that can do everything the v6 can plus, body temp, blood pressure, lasts a month before recharging... it might be 15 yrs 😄
