Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

[Shpyda]

I ordered 2 watches on September 25 with an estimated delivery of November 17 - December 1 and have seen no progress. One is a 44mm Blue aluminum with Atlantic blue braided solo loop and the other is a 44mm space gray aluminum with charcoal braided solo loop. I was truly hoping that they would have shipped sooner, but there has been absolutely no movement whatsoever. Anyone else with similar shipping estimates seeing anything? I'll post when I see activity.

I think that for the most part, they are shipping right on time. I got a 44mm Atlantic blue with the green solo loop and it was supposed to be delivered next week. Mine shipped on Monday and currently has an estimated scheduled delivery of Friday. If you don’t want to wait, some people have been able to find them in store. My local store hasn’t had the one I wanted, so I just decided to be patient.

You mean UPS?

You mean UPS?

I mean Apple. With it being the 11th, there’s still plenty of time fir your watches to get there within the timeframe you were given.

Ordered my S6 SS Silver and Gold for my wife on Monday through Verizon. wife has hers already and mine will be here tomorrow morning. My wife’s is beautiful. The gold is beautiful and it is noticeably faster and smoother than our S4s.

Update: Apparently Apple monitors this chat. I checked status this morning and it has moved to "Preparing to ship". Very nice way to start the day.

Got SS silver S6 today. And man did I have issues. It had the dreaded Verizon activation issue. Spent 3 hours on the phone with tech services. Then we resolved that and bam my backup was gone. Had to start from scratch setting it up. Got all my settings done. Go to install my apps last. Would not install. So I had to unpair it and well after 5 total hours it’s finally done and working. It’s beautiful but for a moment I was tempted to smash it. 😂.

glad to read, that it was working in the end and your patience payed out after not smashing it
hmm.. there really should be a button in the watch or the phone, that allows to manually trigger a backup =/

Hi all, I’ve been wanting to buy a 44mm blue Apple Watch 6 with the braided solo loop. When I place it in the bag it says that it will arrive between Jan 8 - Jan 21. Has anyone bought this same one lately? If so, can you share your experience? I just don’t want to wait that long.

Yup. You should be able to back it up to your cloud anytime you want.

I did. I ordered mine just after release and it’s out for delivery today. You’re better off physically checking an Apple store as some have them in stock even if their website says they don’t. But that date is likely mostly accurate - you may get it a few days early.

 

[Zmrogj]

That would be fun! 🤞 After this much waiting, one more week is a cake walk, and Friday would be icing on that cake. Thanks for the continued updates. I’m finding myself checking my order status much more frequently as the dates near 🙂.

Out for delivery.

Looks like you’ll get your wish! Their estimate was spot on for the delivery window with the green braided loop. Hopefully I’ll start to see movement with mine next week and the band was worth the wait 🙂

So I LOVE this braided loop. I think it might be a little too big though, which I’ve seen a lot of complaints about. It moves around on my wrist a lot. I got a 7 but I think I maybe could do with a 6. So I might go to the apple store and try on a 6 and see.

That looks great!

With the measure tool snug I was a 7. With it VERY tight it was on the 6/7 line so I went with 6. I figured worst case is I put the sport loop band from my old watch on the new one until I get a replacement, or go into an Apple store.

Loving mine. Amazing battery life. Almost 36 hours and still have 39% left

I was in the same boat! I figured what if the braided loop doesn’t fit, I won’t be able to wear my new watch for weeks which was unacceptable to me (I live in Ireland and have no Apple stores). So, in the end I had ordered series 6 with sport loop - arriving 03-10 December. And I ordered the product red braided loop separately, arriving 15 January. Instead of getting my watch with braided loop in January, I took the hit of €100 I’ll save for a few weeks in December and just have 2 bands - what the hell, it’s Christmas and after this year I deserve a treat! 😄 Unfortunately it seems like braided loops are taking really long to produce, you will be waiting till January I’m afraid.

Getting really frustrated now. Hasn’t move at all since ordering still says 3-10 December!!! I looked up the Apple Watch I ordered online now and it said delivers by 1st December! What the hell????! So if I order the watch today I’ll get it before the one I ordered 2 weeks ago? This is not on...

 

[rosegoldoli]

Got mine from Target since they are $50 off with an extra 5 percent off if you are Circle card member! Got in store pick up same day

 

[drmikey]

Guess I’ll jump in. Ordered the 44MM space grey aluminum with the inverse green braided solo loop on 10/2. No movement yet with a delivery window of 11/24 - 12/8. It’s a Christmas present so I was okay waiting...

An update for anyone interested in the availability/timing of the inverse green braided solo loop bands. The watch I ordered on 10/2 just moved to ”preparing to ship” With the same delivery window originally provided.

 

[iLoveDeveloping]

Woohoo! My watch has shipped. It said 3-10 December delivery for nearly 3 weeks! It shipped and I got an email saying your item should be with you by 3rd December. Checked UPS tracking says I will get it on the 26th November! YES! Happy now! God that took AGES, I’ve never waited more than a few days for an Apple product before!

Mine just transitioned to shipped also. Email says December 2nd, but UPS tracking says ‘Check back later for scheduled delivery’. It’s currently in the Clearance stage in China... It’d be nice if it gets here this week as I’ll be out of town all next week, but not holding my breath.

I assume yours is coming from China?

It’s coming from Jiaxing, China. Dam it just moved forward a day! Will deliver on Friday the 27th now. Hope it doesn’t slip anymore. Seemed like it took a long time to get through customs - probably not as many people working as usual! Still though should be here by end of week! Apple have amazing shipping with UPS, I’d say you might just get it this week!

Hopefully the 27th sticks for you! Mine is also coming from Jiaxing, China and cleared customs and now UPS shows a deliver date of Tues Dec 1st. I’m not sure if you’re in the States, but with Thanksgiving this Thursday, I’m guessing that is what is pushing out the delivery date a little farther. It’d be great if it came early like yours, but still not holding my breath...
