whaaaat?! So that means that they’re pretty much shipping them from China on the 24th.. that’s insane! It’s not like it takes a week for the watches to arrive from Asia to Europe.

I ordered within minutes of the watches going online on the Apple Store app! This sucks

I did too straight away too. My delivery date was 24-28 and all hopes of an early delivery have gone. They did say it would be here on or before the 28th though

For those who have received your watch, are they pre-loaded with watch os 7 or 6. If it’s 7 I need to update my phone before it arrives.
They should be pre-loaded with WatchOS7
You will need to update your phone to iOS14 and your current watch (if you have one) with WatchOS7 so you can get a backup to set up the new one. (Unless you want to set up fresh)

Thanks. I wanted to confirm that so I could update my phone today. I have to have everything ready to go as soon as it gets here, hopefully tomorrow. :)
 
How did we get to Anchorage already??

Shortly after the plane landed in Louisville, I got an email from UPS My Choice that it will deliver the 23rd. But the app/tracking still hasn't updated from Anchorage to show arrival in Louisville, it just takes time.
 
Interesting, the times don't line up exactly, but then again this is 2020
Yeah, I'm just thinking they wouldn't off load then reload the same plane from Taiwan if it all was going to Louisville.
Also the first Louisville flight arrival didn't signal a scan for any of us so I think we might see one in the next hour or so.
But who knows.

Hoping mine makes it on the afternoon flight to Charlotte.
 
My tracking is the same as yours, se watch as well. It originally said 9/23 delivery date but now it’s showing rescheduled, date pending.

Interesting. Mine is still showing 9/24. Here’s hoping we get our SEs soon!
I’m happy that it’s considerably sooner than the originally predicted date by Apple.

Still thinking the first flight out wasn't ours. This is the same plane that took us from Taiwan to Anchorage. It's landing in Louisville soon enough. I might be wrong, but I think the arrival/departure scans don't always happen when the plane is wheels up but rather when the cargo is cleared for the departure.

3:25 team - my watch now showing 9/25 delivery (with the possibility to request 9/24 for an additional $5) which is +1 day from what I saw last night.
Mine is too. It was tentatively scheduled for 9/24 but moved to Friday after the export scan. A lot of folks yesterday said their dates moved around, so I'm hoping that happens here.
 
Both size 6. Blue is still showing Nov 24th despite preparing to ship.

What sizes did you order? I ordered a size 8 green solo loop (not braided) and it’s showing a two-week delivery window, which is the largest window I think I’ve seen for an Apple product. Sep 30 - Oct 14.
