Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

Some people in Australia are saying their watches are already in the country, tracking started in Australia, apple told me my watch is also in Australia, highly unlikely when my watch order is still showing processing order, have a delivery date for 7th-14th October.
If it was already in the country should of shipped by now. 🥺
I’m in USA but same here, for Graphite SS anyways. I have an order that’s scheduled for delivery between 10/5 (aka tomorrow) and 10/12, and it’s still in Processing, not even Preparing to Ship. The only info I could get out of Apple support was that it’s supposed to be coming from a US warehouse, they couldn’t tell me the ship date. But if it was already in a warehouse, it should at least be showing Preparing to Ship.
Doubt Apple support know exactly where your watch is coming from, called them last week, told me it’s coming from a warehouse in Australia, then called them again today, told me they don’t know where it’s coming from. 😂🤷♂️🥺⌚
Also told me I’ll be getting express shipping, apple doesn’t do express shipping in Australia. 🤦♂️🤷♂️😂
I hear ya - I know we’re 200 pages deep in this thread, but I thought I recall someone posting about the Graphite SS model specifically that it came from California, possibly launch day inventory. Dunno.
Anyways, it’s definitely the first time I’ve had orders be delivered any later than the first day into the delivery window. Two bands I have on order are scheduled 9/30-10/14, and even those are still in Processing.
At any rate, none of this bodes well for iPhone launch, whenever that happens.
Covid has played a big part in all of this, have a charging brick and watch band that have shipped, but won’t be arriving on time though, due to less staff at the packaging facility.
Hopefully we see some movement soon. 🙏
This is my second order(loopgate). The watches that were ordered the first few days (mine was in the first 10 minutes) all came out of China and it took 8 days from shipped status to get delivered. Is there anyone currently on this tread that is in shipping status?
Only tread I’m on is processing order for the last 11 days. 😂
so finally my blue 44mm GPS arrived. I love the colour ;-)
Hi I have the same Info for an order here in Germany, Delivery Date -> 01. - 08. Oct -> still processing.
The watch comes from a warehouse in prag and tracking will be first available when they send it out.
The support told me that even if they send it on the 07 Oct it will be delivered at the 08 Oct. But I'm with you, if the watch is already in a warehouse it should be even prepared. Maybe because of Covid there are so little workers that they couldn't manage the flood of orders.
Let's see if they keep their promises. In two days I will know
Now I'm wondering whether they are holding, remanufacturing, or something else for the Graphite SS. The initial wave of orders went out around launch. Mine was ordered on Sept. 18th and is still at Processing, with delivery October 5-12. But if I go on apple.com right now, the delivery date is October 13-20 - only one week after my window.
This also seems to be the case for the models with the leather link bands - you go on Apple.com today, and the Ti models with leather link bands are showing Nov 3rd - 10th delivery. 🤷♂️

It’s the band that Is delaying the overall delivery of the watch itself.
Stock appears to be improving in the US. Today I can order the 44 blue aluminum cellular with charcoal sport loop and get courier delivery with a 2 hour window. Also most of the stores around me appear to have it in stock now.
It appears that the charcoal sport loop was in demand and causing delays. Today is the first day since I ordered on Sept 17 that I saw it available for courier delivery and with stock in most stores near me.
However my online order is still "Processing" with an Oct 16 - 23 delivery estimate. 🤔

the man who MANAGES THE STOCK have to go back to school 😂 (it's a joke don't ban me hehe)
I have received an email from apple with tracking info. UPS says unknown delivery date. As of yesterday it was hanging out in Japan.
Has anyone successfully received the pink braided band? I ordered the SS with the pink braided band an hour after the watch went live on the site on 9/15 and its making zero progress. Worried it has something to do with the band and I have been watch less since August due to my series 5 breaking!
It is a matter of slight frustration that all of these devices are more well-travelled than I am.
I mean, my bands started out from Switzerland, to join up with the watch in Shanghai, visited Korea, then Anchorage, then landed at my house. Never even sent a postcard.

Update: I went to the store to change the band, and yes I did have to exchange the watch too. 
I ended up getting the black braided single loop. Much better quality than the leather modern buckle.
