Silver aluminum with black sport loop.
Ordered at 2:22pm. Expected September 28-30
Has moved beyond processing to "preparing to ship" so we'll see. Hopefully ships tomorrow and arrives Friday but I am not optimistic. Even Amazon is taking a few days to get stuff and their distribution centre is less than an hour away.

The braided solo loop bumped your date forward. If you went for the reg sports strap you may get it earlier. That’s what happened to me. I’m just going to get the braided later but I want the watch now.
I'm coming from an aluminum Series 3 I bought at launch. At the time, I was a student in university so cost was a considerable factor in deciding which one to get. I have since graduated and have a stable job. I ordered a silver SS Series 6 largely due to aesthetics as I think the polished silver looks really sleek and I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford that premium now. Also, I find that watch ecosystem much more fleshed out now than it was 3 years ago. I see improvements being more and more incremental year over year since the Series 3, and, given that I was able to last 3 years during a time in which the Apple Watch was getting noticeably better between each release, I didn't mind spending a little bit more knowing I'm not planning to upgrade again for at least 2 years (hopefully longer, fingers crossed!)
Same for me...changed to preparing to ship, still shows Sept 29-oct 1. But nothing beyond. 40mm SS S6
Though I know people in Toronto who only ordered a single band and it says sept 18 delivery and theirs also flipped to preparing to ship. So...fingers crossed I guess.
Watch all these options be available at the store this Friday lol
Yeah, my wife’s 40mm stainless cellular is supposed to arrive Friday. My 44 mm in same config is due a few days later (Sep. 21-23).
Is anyone pre-ordering from Best Buy.com? A lot of models are showing release date delivery but I am skeptical..
Yes I think you are correct - I should have clarified. It is indeed more brittle, however I have yet to have been able to damage a screen on my S3-S5 SS watch, whereas I know I cracked my aluminum screen within a few weeks
All well and good except people in UK and US ordering same watch/same band type after me are getting shorter dates + preparing to ship. I didn’t order the solo loop so not sure how that’s relevant to my dates.
I'm not but Best Buy is pretty good with pre-orders of other items. Like video games for example. Always delivers release day. sometimes a day earlier. But who knows for this stuff...
I’m the opposite. I’ve banged my watch off or desks, door frames, all kinds of stuff and no cracks but I’ve got some good scratches from working on my mowers and snow blower. I assume I would have cracked the crap out of a sapphire glass watch by now.
Some generally do like BestBuy and Apple Stores. Depends on area though with this pandemic.
My apologies I thought you’d ordered the solo loop I see it’s the sports loop you have. Yeah that is weird. Hopefully it comes sooner
Yeah I picked up my 5 day of. Best Buy is only showing gps+cellular models in the blue online unfortunately
Same, I’ve banged my watch so many time and there’s not a mark on it. I mean I like the SS and Titanium but I upgrade every two years and it just gets to be a waste of money. I buy other tech so I have to pull back somewhere.
great choice! I went with the same style.
wanted to order with the new braided blue band, but watch wouldn’t ship until mid October — so I went with this style and ordered the braided band separate!
Best Buy's site doesn't say "Delivers on Sept 18" ... it says "Ships by release day Sept. 18"
I'm hoping to just pick one up at this point. Best Buy won't make it the right MSRP till Friday anyways.
I ordered a 44mm titanium with sports loop, eta is September 28-30, like everyone else, mine is also in the preparing to ship and my card was charged yesterday. In my experience cards only get charged when the item is for sure coming. I would be so delighted if it comes this Friday. I sold my series 5 last week, I’m starting to really have a hard time without the watch, especially while exercising.
I got the Aluminum silver 44mm S6 to replace my silver S4. I really debated the new blue color because I love blue but I didn't think some of my current bands would look good with it and it limits getting new colors. I like the aluminum because it's held up beautifully and I don't have to put out a ton to upgrade.
I ordered yesterday at 1:45ct, about 45 minutes after the store opened. I actually wasn't going to order at all. Then I was, then I wasn't, then I was. You know how that goes. Then I hemmed and hawed about what color band to get. I really like this white and green combo. It's different from anything I have. I kind of wanted a fall color too so I bought the Purple Pulse Nike band this morning. My shipping still says September 25th-29th but my order did change to Preparing To Ship this morning. I'm hoping that it'll come on Friday, we'll see!

I ordered these for me and the wife, managed to get Friday Delivery for the watches but have to wait until Wednesday for the braided loop bands - but if I bought the watch with the braided loop it said delivery for October time!
I'm in UK.

I was charged the full amount within 10 minutes of the order being placed and my watch was changed to "preparing to ship" last night. From my experience with previous iPhone + watch drops, they usually only charge when the item is about to ship out. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone who is at preparing to ship receives their watch on Friday or over the weekend.
I had the stainless steel black and it broke about a year and a half ago. I'm excited to finally get back on the apple watch train!
