Anyone interested in staring at my pauper's watch? 😂

SE getting delivered on the 22nd (according to UPS tracking). But Apple says Monday the 28th.... who is right? haha
I think that color combo is awesome. The Space Gray aluminum is my favorite Watch case. It is durable, and looks good with a lot of bands. I really like the shade of that Deep Navy band. I'm glad that Apple has been adding more darker shades over the last couple years. I cannot stand those pastel colors.

any idea what store stock is expected to be like?
In normal times they receive at least some stock in the stores every day while shipping is still showing 6 weeks out. With various Apple items over the years (iPhone, iPad, AppleWatch) I've found what I wanted at the store and canceled the yet to be shipped order.

Whether that is the case with these 2020 watches we won't know until at least Friday.
 
Ordered blue 44mm gps with charcoal sport loop shortly after the event, it's been on "preparing to ship" since yesterday and estimated delivery for 28th Sep.
 
Order mine Wednesday and I have a long way to go

If the picture is close to the real thing, it kind of seems like a S6 blue case through optical illusion. 😄 we'll see!

and yeah me too about the dark bands. This watch will stay with me for 4/5 years probably (like the S0 I still wear), so having dark colors that are impossible to be annoyed with will be great. The thought of being subtle informed the decision to go with black and dark blue band. (The dark blue was actually to kind of feel like I got a new blue watch like everyone else, haha)

I've owned the series 2,3, & 4, all in aluminum without a single scratch. It's a very durable watch. I didn't get to order mine until about 7:30 the night of the release, and my date is mid to late November . I even looked at doing a serious upgrade to the titanium model, but that date was the same so I stuck with the gray aluminum. Blue is my favorite color, and I love the shade Apple offered in the 6, but worried about whether the color would get "old" to look at. Can't wait to hear what people think of the 6 in action.
 
I ordered a Sliver SS with BB(charcoal), within minutes of the store opening and got a delivery date of between 24-28 Sept. Order is still being processed and money taken. This order was placed in the UK.
 
Mine just got handed over to DHL, coming from the Netherlands. There is no ETA available at the moment but Apple claims I'm gonna get it by the 28th (hopefully much earlier).
I placed my order immediately after the keynote, by the way.

Just received shipped notification. Carrier is DHL, currently package is in the Netherlands and due to arrive by 25/09/20. However, I believe I should receive it before given date.
 
My watch has just arrived... I don't know if its because I haven't used my old Series 4 for a couple of days but this watch seems like its a hell of a lot faster and snappier, I notice a real difference between them.

Series 6 is selling like mad and I can’t find one available in many Apple stores. Online shipping has slipped to next month. I’m going to buy more Apple stock.
 
I ordered a Series 6 (The Nike Space Grey with the anthracite sport band, for what it's worth) that would've been here today, were it not for a miscommunication between my local pick up point and Apple/TNT. Currently coming Tuesday.
 
I got a shipment notification this morning. Apple says delivery on the 28th. UPS doesn't have it in their system yet. Hopefully it comes quicker than that.
 
Picked up mine AWAL6 from the Apple Store this afternoon (I’m in Australia). Upgrading from AW5 - not sure if I need the 6 but I’ll hang onto it for a bit before I make that decision..
 
When you order the Solo strap make sure that it isn’t fitted to the exact size of your wrist. You need a little breathing room for the oxygen app to work. I tried size 9 and got no reading. Size 10 gave me readings.
 
Well I got notified today my S6 will be here - from China! - on September 28th. It has shipped as of today and is on a world tour as it works it way to me - in the U.S. Same trip my 2020 13" MBP got to make.

I ordered the Space Grey aluminum 44mm, GPS & Cellular. I picked the Pink Citrus sport band as it was the only color I don't currently own so if I don't like it I have dozens of others.
 
Whether that is the case with these 2020 watches we won't know until at least Friday.

I woke up Friday morning and checked up on the Pick Up Today watches, selected one and drove on down to the Apple Store to bring it home. So I didn't have to wait another week and enjoying the Series 6!
