Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

[djlythium]

Woohooo.... so excited... can you believe it? It will be my very first Apple Watch. Last year I almost bought one with AoD as a key feature. Now finally I could no longer resist:
stainless steel, graphite and spot loop charcoal

​ Apple Watch Series 6 GPS + Cellular, 44 mm Edelstahlgehäuse Graphit, Sport Loop Kohlegrau​

Says it would ship in 2 days with expected arrival in Germany Sep 24-28...
I was a bit mixed if Titanium would be a major difference but it was anyhow expensive enough, so I went with SS and Apple Care.

Nice, this is a good time to get one! The Watch has come a long way.

Mine says the same thing. I suspect it will deliver Friday.

That'd be so amazing!

That blue is so sharp. So sad it wasn’t offered in stainless steel. I just can’t go aluminum with the ion-x screen. I would scratch it all over.

I was hoping it would be offered in stainless steel or titanium but cheap Alumunim! Im not happy about tha.

I sold my Aw4 SS yesterday on eBay for $385.

I was undecided -I didnt know if I wanted SS again or titanium so I ordered both. I will open the titanium watch first because I won’t need to break the seal on the SS if I love the titanium.

I will return the SS to the Apple store for someone else to buy.

Omg we pretty much ordered the same thing. I’m debating to keep the graphite SS or Titanium? What do u think?

Ordered within 5 min after event.
Shipping to USA. I remember previous years i would get a extended shipping date for watch and iphone. However they would ship earlier and would still would get them on release date!View attachment 953634

Yeah, I think that's what we're all hoping for! 😄

 

[djlythium]

So I ended up ordering two watches. Delivery date is insane.

Graphite watch arriving September.
Titanium is arriving in October.

Can’t decide which one to keep. Did you guys get a Sept 25 date too???

Not sure which one to return. Please help which one to keep

Personally, I like the Titanium + Blue band more. It has more life to it, IMO. 😄

I already have a titanium watch right now. I’m not sure how Graphite is going to look.

Maybe with a different color band? IMO, I feel like it's just too much black-on-black-with-a-hint-of-black-garnished-with-black. 🤷🏼‍♂️😄 But, hey, you do you!

I’m most likely going to buy another band. I just wanted to order a watch ASAP. Just not sure which one to keep.

Gold 40mm series SS with gold Milanese loop: delivery 18 September for my wife.
Gold 44 mm series SS with gold Milanese loop: delivery 29 September to 7 October for me.

44 mm must be more popular and thus backlogged.

Everything is backlogged (2020 iMac 27" i9 etc. 28 September to 6 October. Canon EOS R5 (mid October).

Manufacturers get us excited about their new products and actually cannot deliver them. I sit back and smell the roses and drink some wine. I will live longer that way.

Such is life.

UK here. Payment has just been taken this very minute on my debit card.

Which leads me to suggest it might arrive Friday instead of the 28th like suggested on the app. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

UPDATE: Now moved to “Preparing To Ship.” No change to the delivery date yet though.

 

[garethjs]

Just went to “Preparing to ship” in Australia.

but delivery is still 29th of Sept

Apple Watch Graphite with Blue Braided 44mm

 

[RulinSmoove]

Actually had Sep 25-29, but the order got stuck submitting, so backed out and did it again. All good. Upgrading from Series 3 Stainless Steel GPS + Cellular.

 

[noahc]

Ordered a 44mm Blue Aluminum to the US around 5pm pacific and estimated arrival is Sept 29 - Oct 1 window

 

[CE3]

Sticking with Silver. Really like this band.

 

[WinterWolf90]

I wonder how much of color difference the graphite SS is from the black SS?

[Broken Hope]

My UK SS S6 has moved to preparing to ship, still says September 28th though.

 

[km_00]

I got the red aluminum 44mm order it with in the first 5 minutes and have the same delivery date sept 29- oct1 (Calgary, Alberta) I tried to get it with the red solo loop but didn’t realize it’s not available yet 😭
But mine just moved to preparing to ship so we may get them sooner hopefully 🤞

 

[kuietstorm]

Ordered 15 minutes after the keynote in the US and mine ships Sept 25th - 29th...ugh.

 

[1GSXR2ENVY]

Moved to preparing to ship for us ss graphite 44mm. Still 25-29th arrival.

 

[Boardiesboi]

Hermès SS 44mm with Bambou single tour preparing to ship already in Australia. Delivers 28 Sept to 1 Oct still.
Pretty sure they’re all coming from China which is why it’s gonna take a week to get here.

 

[digitalbreak]

Mine just changed to “Preparing to ship”

 

[puckhead193]

My S6 graphite. I hope the band fits me and shouldn't gone up or down a size. I wondering if you can just exchange the band or do I need to exchange the whole watch. 🙄

 

[canyonblue737]

I have a 44mm space gray aluminum GPS S6 and 40mm silver aluminum GPS S6 both preparing to ship (pic is from earlier), delivery on Friday the 18th... the secret I found is very, very few combinations when the store opened offered launch day delivery and all were with Sport Bands in boring colors like black and white. My space gray will have a black band, and the silver a white band. I ordered solo loops separately for both which will also be delivered on Friday but which would have delayed the watches to Sept 25-29 if I had paired them with the watches.

 

[canyonblue737]

44 SG and 40 Silver Aluminum GPS both the 18th. Secret was just a single band combination resulted in that for each... a sports band white for silver, black for space gray. Apple must have had some combos ready to ship for launch but the moment you selected any other band (including the new ones) the earliest date would slip to the 25th.
