You are lucky! We don’t have stores open in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you want you can pick up at the store the one you want and return the online order
I'm getting so irritated. No information by DHL or Apple...

Hope to see you here again when the iPhone launches @Bazooka-joe. This is just the beginning for this year. Hoping our iPhone will be travel buddies.Yeah its gonna be manic when the mass orders for phones go in
In that case, I don't know what's the point of placing an order as soon as a product comes out, if you're not going to have a shipping preference over those who ordered later. It's completely absurd to advertise a product without having a minimum stock to sell
I have the Eindhoven info as well since Monday. Apparently a lot of people are waiting for one container landing from China...[Europe] Am I the only one how doesn't know where the watch is? Still in Eindhoven and nothing appears ... So frustrated
Exactly the same as from Saturday. 0 information. 0 movement. My money in Apple and the clock who knows where? It's a disaster this release.

I think the problem was Apple decided to have a launch date for the everyone across the world. Thus, the demand is too high. We all feel your pain. Hang in there.

Just want till the new iPhone launches. People are going to lose their sleep over it. It’s going to be 10X worse then this lol
I hope they are already bringing the iPhones from China, at least a minimum of units. Although I doubt it is so, because there are many models that are expected (mini, normal, pro, plus).

Yeah, I don’t think they’re bringing any from China. Production for the new iPhones are in full force this month. It’s still a few weeks away.
Exactly lol that’s why I went with the boring band combo. I can walk into my local apple store and get whatever I want. Was there yesterday and they had everything in stock.
We absolutely should stay in touch!!! Photos coming in a few minutes!
My watch is being delivered a week earlier than the original dates when I ordered on 9/17. Apple underpromised and over delivered
Not only that.. but the whole mess with the Solo/Braided loops? I know for a fact that the Solo loop I ordered isn’t gonna fit properly (even though I measured multiple times). Luckily I have plenty of bands from my older models.. but still.
I have a friend in LA that just received his watch and the Solo loop doesn’t fit properly even though he followed Apple’s instructions. He got a size 7 but he had to switch it out for a size 4 cause it was too loose.
Same here.
May be I will visit Eindhoven in future 🤣

Yea the new designs are the thing that tempting me the most and the new cameras and 5G. Good point ha. We shall see!
Update from the UK thread:
After having 1 of 2 watches delivered by DHL today, I called them to see where the 2nd one is. I was told that they had some kind of technical/power issue at Leipzig last night, and although some packages did go, thousands of packages couldn’t be processed. I was told that they are being processed now, and that if the tracking moves on by around 9pm tonight to expect delivery Mon, otherwise it will have missed tonight’s flight and then delivery will be Tues!!!
Apparently some watches go through Leipzig before being sent over to Eindhoven.

Exactly, I don't see that as "taking care of the customer" either, a question that I haven't seen apple take as much care of for some time, as it did some time ago.
On the website there was a template to measure the size, but in my case, it should take a 7. In the end I opted for the standard strap (the usual one). This week I tried the strap 7 in a friend's apple watch, and it's too small for me, so I don't understand well the theme of the template either.
I'm not very happy with this release.

Don’t forget about the Mid-Night Blue color. A14 chip, it’s going to be a beast. It’s a worth upgrade this year.

Just a quick update to shed some light:
I ordered an 40mm SE Silver AL, 44mm Blue AL, and a band on the 17th. Band said delivered by 24th and the 2 watches delivered first week of Oct. Band was from Carlisle PA and delivered on the 23rd. The SE updated delivery date to this week and is coming in a few hours. Shipped from China on the 19th. The Blue AL updated delivery to Tomorrow on Apples website, to Monday on the Apple Store App and UPS app. That watch is also coming from Carlisle PA and shipped today. Assuming I’ll get it Monday since no UPS on Sat. Just weird that the Blue AL would be coming from just a few hours from where I live. (Scranton area, PA)
