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. 🥺👀⌚😐
Heck I miss those days for any store where you could go inside and have a decent amount of choices that you could compare and then buy on the spot and take the item home.
 
FINALLY - Movement on SS Graphite! Based on what support has already said should be here tomorrow.

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.

Apple is working very hard to try get ready for iPhone because they know alot of people will be ordering the new iPhone. The production is in full-force running 24 hours a week.

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. 🤔

Order still processing here in Australia, blue 44mm gps deep blue sports band, delivery date 7th-14 Oct 🥺

Charcoal sport loop band was meant to arrive 2 days ago, now delayed. 🥺

Apple stores have been closed in Melbourne for more than 2 month now due to lockdown, prefer buying in store as well.

Any movement on your watch order? still nothing over here?🥺
 
Mine is 12 days, ordered on the 16th of September with delivery from Oct 1 to Oct 8 and still "Processing"

Mine switched to "Preparing to Ship" this morning (7 hours ago) after 18 days of "Processing".
 
Status just changed to shipped. Delivering express (overnight UPS) by tomorrow.
UPDATE: Overnight shipping via UPS air saver from Apple’s Carlyle, PA warehouse.

I’m hoping to see yours ship out of the states rather than China. Let’s us know.
 
Silver aluminum with white sport band ordered on September 16.

Wow, you’d think you would of had it way earlier, how popular could that combo be. 🤦‍♂️

Feel your pain my blue 44mm gps has been processing order for 12 days now. I’ll never order online again.
 
I ordered my space gray aluminum, cyprus green sportband on October 1; it shipped today and is in Shanghai. (I'm in the USA). ETA is October 14.

Nice work very quick delivery👌, wonder what the bloody hell apple is doing 😡 people who ordered weeks ago haven’t seen their watches move past processing order yet, yet people are placing orders recently and receiving shipping information within days, get your **** together apple.

Beats me. I thought if I ordered something "common" I'd get it faster. (Not to mention I'm a cheapskate so the aluminum was my choice anyhow.) ;)

Hey don’t bag the aluminum watches, I’m getting a blue aluminum watch. 😂😂😂

Nice combo by the way silver casing with the Cyprus green band will look amazing 👌

Think I need another morning coffee to calm me down, hopefully this stupid order starts moving soon. 🥺

Aluminum is my watch of choice; this will be my 4th... all aluminum models. Hope you love your blue!

I hate to bum everyone out even further, but I just looked at my order on Apple's website and the ETA has been moved up to the 12th. 😁🤩😎
