Ordered a 44mm SBTi w/ Cypress Green sport band on 9/21/20 with an expected Oct 1-5 Delivery.

Shipped 9/24/20, Apple email states delivery before Oct 2nd.
Departed Jiaxing 9/24
UPS Estimated delivery Monday 9/28

I think ours will be on the same flight :)

No movement with my other 2 watches. Thinking about cancellling the Graphite order now hmm.

Saddle Leather also looks nice on that natural Ti case :) enjoy!
 
Thank you! I've been getting alot of compliments on it already. It's also going to look great with a new mid-night blue iPhone. I just hope the shipping dates move up. Because that is the one I will be keeping for a year :)
also, in the Style Builder, the Graphite Milanese looks really nice on the Ti, nice contrast. That's what I ordered.
 
Well this is interesting and I am wondering if Apple is doing this on purpose.
So when I tried to order the watch online, of course I was given dates in October and November as shipments then I selected the option to pick up at my local Apple store which only gave me two watches available, these weren't my first choices for bands and style so I decided to go in the store. AND GUESS WHAT!!! They have everything in stock, I can choose anything I want and it was in stock, everything what Apple's site is saying is wrong when it comes to store availability. So if you want your first pick and your Apple store is opened I suggest you give them a visit. Another funny thing is they really wanted me to buy the blue color with the Atlantic Blue Braided Solo Loop, they really wanted to upsell that to me and said they had tons in stock. I looked at the blue but IMO I do not like how the color blue doesn't blend well with the black screen so I didn't get that one. I really wonder if Apple is pressuring the Apple stores to upsell the blue color watch for some reason. Anyways go to your store and you'll most likely have better options then the website.

So, for those who are at the beginning of the shipping process, here’s an example of a timeline that might allay some anxiety if you seem “stuck” at a given point. I just takes some time, especially in China. Once it got out of China, it was pretty smooth:

Left Jiaxing, CN, 9/18/20, 11:55 pm.
Arrived Shanghai, CN, 9/19/20, 12:10 am.
Left Shanghai, CN, 9/23/20, 6:00 am (loooong delay there)
Left Incheon, KR, 9/23/20, 10:10 am
Left Anchorage 9/23/20, 2:55 pm (date change helped there!)
Left Louisville 9/24/20, 4:49 am
Arrived MSP, destination city, 9/24/20, 7:10 am
Delivery 9/24/20

No Apple stores are open in Las Vegas Nevada so I am out of luck.
 
Anyone's order in Canada shipping from Canada? This is a first for me. My Apple orders have always taken the China/Anchorage/Louisville route.

Mine's now coming tomorrow, from "AppleCare Fusion/Syncrion". Anyone in Canada receive theirs from that supplier? I'm really worried it's going to be a returned/refurbished unit.

I just went to my local apple store on my lunch break from work. Iwas surprised to see a small line of people. I thought they were their for genius appointments and other online in store pick ups. Apparently, they had a small inventory of Apple Watch Series 6 that came in today. They only had like 5 GPS + Cellular 44 MM in so no point for me. But I wish I had know earlier, would have definitely stood in line lol. It's strange not see the local Apple store full of people messing around with phones or mac books.. Thanks Covid SMH.

Its not, Syncrion is a local partner for delivery I believe.

My UPS currently shows delivery on Wednesday September 23rd between 9am and 1pm

I am betting against it 🤪

Last scan shows it departed Korea - onwards to Anchorage

Thanks for confirming! When my PowerBeats died, I was pretty sure that's where I sent them/received replacements so was a bit worried about what I'd be receiving.
 
Does anyone happen to know what this means now? DHL, Eindhoven. It said “Delivery Friday 25th” and now they just changed it to “Arrives soon”? Like yeah I sure hope it comes soon, I opened your tracking site to find out how soon

DHL tracking hasn’t updated at all, no texts either. Maybe they realized my tracking didn’t update and there’s no way for my package to arrive until tomorrow? No idea

Here's an interesting thing: DHL Eindhoven still says "Shipment information received" and nothing more, but I've just got a text from DHL here in Poland that my watch is coming to me tommorow!
Good to know! Just added my number to the DHL site to get notified! Dziekuje!

Got mine ordered! Hopefully it'll come sooner than the dates listed. Last time it did. I wanted the new leather loop but it added on a lot more time to the order. I'll just put the leather band I have now on it and wait to order a new one.
