My S6 in Blue was supposed to arrive in metro Denver today. Here's the message I got from Fed Ex when I noticed it was still showing 'in transit' in Memphis at 2:25 p.m.:

Thank you, Andrew. I am sorry for the delay with the package. I do see it was mis sorted at the ramp. It should go out of Memphis over the weekend and should be delivered on Monday. I do apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you.
 
Still too much extra $$$$ to go from aluminum to stainless steel. I don't get such a huge disparity.

Still needs WiFi 5 aka 802.11ac, staying with 802.11n as the best, even with 5Ghz, is odd. Hopefully, AW 7 will also have a microLCD display.

I remember when I was awaiting my new iPhone SE from China...until the package transitioned from the Chinese carrier to FedEx (in Alaska I think it was), the progress went from point A to point B to point C back to point B to point C back to point B to point D...

What a bummer. Granted, it is a minor problem but on watch release day, it can lead one to have a few beers for solace.
 
Did you happen to take any pics of them side by side before you returned one?
Got my blue one this morning. It’s a very deep navy. S6 blue next to S5 space grey.

Picked up a natural titanium this afternoon at an Apple store. My delivery date for the preorder wasn’t for another two and a half weeks. In and out in 30 minutes after also trying on the new solo loop to get the right sizing. They didn’t actually have one in a color I wanted in stock but I now know the correct size when ordering online.
 
I just got the blue 44 with the blue sport band. To me the watch case looks so dark unless I am in a bight light its hard to tell it isnt steel grey. The band is also subtle. Very satisfied with the look of it.
 
Here’s some good pics of the blue. It’s def more subdued. I have a space grey and Cyprus green on the way that I thought would end up being the choice, but this might be the keeper.

See! you get it. That’s exactly why I’m keeping the blue. It matches my whole wardrobe

I ordered my 44mm SS w/product red sport band around 8/9am with an 11:15 pickup.

They didn't even have me come in the store. They just handed me the bag, after checking my ID even though they said they knew exactly who I was (pre-covid, I was in that store a LOT).
 
Picked up my 44mm watch in blue earlier today. I’m very pleased with it! I’d say it’s even more subtle than I thought. It looks very classy!

My 44 SS Graphite with black solo loop is en route, but I suspect it would have shipped faster with a different band choice.

The solo loop is worth waiting for. I love the braided blue. I ordered a regular blue as well that won’t be arriving till October 21.

So question for those delivered mine is moving it went from China to Taiwan. Is that the route most of you saw? I thought for sure it would go from China to Atlanta I was surprised. UPS won’t give a date until it reaches the States.

Hoping it comes soon I cancelled day one and reordered with a smaller band but seeing the reports I’m worried I should have gone even another size smaller couple stores in my area have the size smaller if I need to swap but I don’t know for how long most Apple Stores in GA are already limited on bands.

Mine went China to Alaska then to Florida. Shipped Friday, delivered Monday.

Mine also went from China to Taiwan. Arrived in Alaska, then left there at 11:01 pm last night.
UPS still has "Information Unavailable" for a delivery date. But, the Delivery Planner has it arriving tomorrow.
