Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

44mm blue GPS with navyblue sportsband.
Ordered on the 17th, delivery date 1st to 6th of October.
Reservation was done on the 22nd of September, and the status changed to preparing for about half a day.
In the evening in changed back to processing, but money stayed reserved.
Today in the morning the money was reserved on my credit card again and now my AW6 is shipped out of Prague to Austria.
Apple says it should arrive on the 6th, DHL says 5th.
So I hope DHL is correct and I hope I don't get charged twice for my watch...

My watch arrived at the DHL delivery facility yesterday at 10AM.
I will only get it on Monday as DHL does not deliver over the weekend and 10AM was to late for Friday :-(
But at least it is very close now ;-)

I ordered a Hermes SB Noir and Hermes SS Navy. Original delivery for the Noir was 10/6-10/13 via Express Delivery. Original for Navy was 11/4-11/10 via Standard Delivery. Navy moved to shipped on 10/1 with a delivery date of 10/8. However, UPS shows it's in Shanghai with a delivery exception message of "We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city.".

Is this exception message something others have seen? Wondering how "solid" the 10/8 delivery date is.

No movement on the Noir (the one with Express Delivery) - still shows as processing. Have ordered/received every iPhone since the first one on launch day, several iPads and Apple Watches and never seen this much volatility on deliveries. A sign of the times, I guess!

Ordered my SBSS Hermes Series 6 44mm noir single tour on 9/15 right after event and it’s been sifting in processing ever since. My delivery date window is 9/30 to 10/7 - not feeling confident I will get it. I am in Los Angeles

Nice, cant wait to get my blue watch.

How does the blue look indoors and and outdoors in natural light?

Haven't been much outside since I got it up and running, so YMMW.

Inside it's quite dark almost - but not quite - as dark as my old Series 0 with black band, outside the blue comes more out and matches my jeans quite well. :)

I made my ordre the 19/9 and the estimated delivery is 24/11😲 to Denmark. I hope it will come before. I think is a very long delivery time.

Thank you! hoping I get my hands on it soon. I think the Baltic blue color is the best out there. Also, it will match up with mid-night blue iPhone. Once Apple has them in stock I will also order the yellow one.

Agree - I'm thinking about picking up one of the Baltic blue leather link bands too, once the inventory situation improves out a bit more. All in on the midnight blue phone too!

I ordered a 40mm space grey a week ago in the UK with a sports band, estimated delivery - 3rd Nov. However, Amazon are selling the same watch with a sports band and I can get it Monday with Prime delivery, lol. Price is the same too.

Got to love express delivery 😊

If only we had it here in Aus 👀⌚😐🥺😂

I think our postal service has closed down during covid, no movement on my watch band for a while now, due tomorrow 🤦‍♂️😂

Apparently they hired more staff as well 🤔😂

Lucky my watch is coming via courier.

Well, change of plans. I went to an Apple Store in a neighboring state and tried on the braided loop. Game changer! I can’t explain how much more comfortable it is than even the solo loop. It feels better and more breathable than the solo. The only bad part is that they don’t have any in stock. So my best way forward is to return the current S6 with the solo loop and order a new watch with the braided band.
So here we are again ... 😂! (By the way the measuring tool showed a size 9, I ordered an 8 and settling on a 7 finally).

Why not just buy just the braided solo loop? lol

Because it will take just as long to get it and $100 as opposed to just $50 if purchased with the watch. I have plenty of bands to use for working out so I’d rather have the braided as my main one, over the regular solo.

Holy Moly! Ur not about to wait late November. That’s just crazy. I think you will receive ur watch much sooner.

how come you didn’t just order the braided loop only?
 
Apparently my watch is already in the country, instead of coming from China. This is why I hate buying online, 11 days still processing order. 🥺

Miss the good old days walk into a apple store and away you go, or place a pick up order, damn you lockdown. 🥺👀⌚️😐

Walked into the store and picked one up, couldn’t get the band I wanted tho and now contemplating returning but a month wait is so excruciating, based off the last page on this thread it doesn’t even seem like the orders are arriving early either which is disappointing.
Click to expand...

Why not keep the watch with the current band, and order the band you want, at least that way you won’t be left without a watch.
 
My Order from 16.09 which should be delivered 01.10 - 08.10 suddenly dissapeared this Morning in my account. 🙈😡
Couldn‘t find it anymore. Anyone same Problem with the Store today?????!
