Random but even though the rumors about the iPhone 12 are exciting I am planning to keep my 11 Pro Max for another year and upgrade with the iPhone 13 fall 2021. But given this headache with the Apple Watch series 6 shipping from China and such, I am glad I am not upgrading. The iPhone 12 launch is going to be a huge mess if they don't fix some things before hand. People going be waiting a month or two (maybe longer) for their phones SMH.

Expect a delay for an iphone possibly by January or Early Feb.

Yea AT&T has had the ability for years to place orders back in line. Sad that a company like Apple can't by now. If it's a company error they should sure as hell put the customer back in line. Thought the Apple Tax was for the CS, but I've seen so many stories of crappy CS, especially with the watches

I hope you get your watch on Friday! All my tracking disappeared when I requested Thursday delivery. Mine will be Monday or hopefully Friday as well. Good luck to us!

yeah I think I will stick to my iPhone 11 Pro max.... (of course I say that every year....) but the iPhone 12 will really have to wow me. I'm surprised my watch hasn't shipped yet....the only other time I waited this long was for the series 4 because of the new size and it didn't arrive until November (I ordered a few days after pre-orders started)...

So basing on this precious thread experiences, which is the average time of waiting in Shanghai? Mine has been there since yesterday, today no movements at all...let's hope something happens tomorrow.
I swear I'm hating Shanghai, and I loved it when I've been there 😂

When did you order? I didn't order until the morning after and mine was in Shanghai for just two days and now in Cologne for delivery to Sweden tomorrow.

I don't know if I got lucky with the combination I picked or just lucky in general because it will be a week early and much earlier than some that ordered right after the event.

I'm not complaining. I've had a crappy week so I'm glad something positive happened now 🤣

Mine has been hanging in Shanghai for two days (Shanghai time) and I was really hoping to have it soon that next week. Also been having a pretty crappy week here too smh. But it seems it's not in the cards lol.

I ordered on Friday evening...could have been faster, but I needed to sell my series 5 first 😂 new watch is a series 6 Nike edition with the Blu/Mango Nike sport band.
All in all, I've been lucky too.

Any possibility UPS changed the tracking number when you paid to expedite it? Have you tried looking on UPS tracking by Reference Number using your phone number? Just a thought.

Mine was forwarded at 2am from Cologne to my home town. Arrived 3hrs later at 5am. Then booked for my UPS truck at 6am.
But it was too late already and thetruck in his daily tour. I will get it tomorrow though. Still 4 days earlier than expected.
happy for all others who got them today.

Holy... UPS is my hero today! Although the UPS tracker told me that delivery would occur tomorrow, at about 5pm the doorbell rang and a very friendly UPS driver handed me a small parcel. And yes, indeed with the watch inside. So from originally estimated Sep 25-28 window - which was changed by Apple to Sep 28 quickly - it only took only until today Sep 23! Really impressive!

If you are interested, I ordered Tue Sep 15 at around 9:40pm.

And as it is my very first Apple Watch I am now typing this with a very bright smile on my face. I still need to figure out all the functions and gimmicks but am really happy with it so far!

Guys and gals you very a wonderful company during all the shipment process! Maybe our future devices will meet again at airports, customs or in plans and lorries, who knows!?
I guess I will order a leather band soon ;)

PS: The graphite SS looks really solid and high-quality!

I requested $5 expedite, and tracking remained the same... doorbell just rang, it arrived via PVG-TPE-ANC-SDF-CLT. Originally Sept 25-30, then apple said Sept 28, and arrived Sept 23.

Had a UPS delivery window of 11am-1pm, but it's still on the truck @5:20pm. Says delivery by 9pm. So much for a confirmed delivery window.

Atleast your getting your watch today. MY watch is lost somewhere, Have no clue where it is and Im over here crying and worried :(

I am confident it is still waiting for you somewhere - hang on! My watch also seemed to had some sightseeing in Shanghai as it spend almost 48hrs until I received the export scan and then almost another 24 hrs till dispatch from Shanghai.

It is definitely worth the wait!

I know it’s definitely worth the wait, it’s just really weird it’s been three days and it has not moved

Thank you! I even paid $5 to have it delivered early today but it got delayed till Monday :(
Any 3:25 out there stuck with me???
 
The $5 we paid for the MyChoice didn't seem to have any effect. Our delivery date bounced from Thursday/Friday - back and forth several times. We got a notice that they couldn't intercept the package. We ended up getting it today. (I got my watch Monday even though we both ordered at the same time).

Having ordered launch day in the past, I've noticed as it gets later, UPS starts waiting longer and longer - my assumption is, less volume, so they wait for more pallets to fill the planes.

This happens every year - I don't know why Apple doesn't just start the shipping process a little earlier so those of us that order online get ours closer to when the stores have them... I keep expecting Apple to refine this process but every year is the same.


My wife and I still ordered right after the watch presentation knowing full well that we'd probably get it a week or more after it was available in store. :p But we already had watches so it's easier to wait.

That's usually how it works right - if you don't stay up to midnight to put in your order and wait till mid next day, you'll be waiting weeks to a month - even if the stores have stock. At least that's how it was for us.

My wife and I are planning on keeping our 11s too.
