Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

My Apple watch series 6 arrived today. Wasn't expecting it until tomorrow, but I got a text this morning and the DHL van arrived at 9:30am!. Was told in the text that I needed to "sign" for it but what that entailed was driver needed to take a photo of me [not facial!] holding the box standing next to my door! Anyway, easy enough to set up and I'm loving it. Sent my old series 3 to Apple this afternoon inn the part exchange deal. Very happy boy!

Holy cow! Thank you so much for that information. I emailed Tim and Deirdre and just got a call from Apple asking about my email to Tim Cook! They said he will take care of this situation and make sure I get my Apple Watch! Man... I thought that was just a long shot, holy cow, Tim Cook read my email!!! I’m blown away! Way to go Apple!! I have even more love for them now...

He very likely has a team for these e-Mails but still it’s the easiest way to higher level support if you got a real issue. Great it worked out for you.
 
My Apple Watch 6 arrive tomorrow, how will I reset my Apple Watch S0 to just show the time without syncing my iPhone and thus having 2 synchronized watches?

My AW 6 finally left Shanghai and arrived in Incheon, KR. My devices have usually gone from Shanghai to Anchorage directly so no clue where to after Korea.
 
Replacement device ordered! Delivery by 23 December. Yet to ship! Fingers crossed this one doesn’t “go missing” the day of delivery. And to add salt to the wound I’m getting the Braided Solo Loop this Friday. So I’ll have a solo loop and no Apple Watch! 😄🥺
 
Coming back to this thread because they are my favorite part of MacRumors. A friend is looking for Apple Watch Series 5 and up (including 6) users for a focus group. Online of course so location is not critical. She needs people in the 18-24 range and 55+. If you happen to qualify and are interested in earning a bit of money, send me a PM and I'll pass the details along to you to see if you can join.

Mine is probably with yours, it was "delayed in transit" in Shanghai for a couple days and now it's in Korea, with a delivery date of December 15. My 2020 Macbook Pro also went through Korea, I believe it still went through Anchorage after that but can't recall for certain.

Thanks for your reply, that’s good to know. Yes mine is December 15 as well.
 
Shipped at 6am this morning!! FROM NETHERLANDS?? That’s weird. Why am I getting a watch from the Netherlands. I hope it’s not a refurbished one or one someone returned. I want a brand new watch! Plus instead of UPS (which stole my last watch) they are using DHL, thank god for that! UPS are dirt for taking peoples Christmas presents.

Mine went to Hong Kong and left from there about an hour back. The best I can tell is that it is on UPS 63 to Anchorage, which then continues on to Louisville.

Progress
 
Oh nice, glad they are still together. . It just updated to released by customs agency but doesn’t say where, and it’s too soon for Anchorage. The times could be out of sequence, that happened to me with the 12 Pro.

Pretty much everything i ever got from Apple directly shipped from the Netherlands and almost everything shipped via DHL. I bet you 100$ that you won't get a refurbed watch after getting to high level support. ;)
Also it might take a while till it actually ships. They just create the shipping label in the Netherlands once you are shipped in china. Still takes a couple of days till it arrives in the EU, but once DHL express gets it both my iMac and my Apple watch arrived overnight.
 
I live in Northeast Thailand and ordered one for my wife for Christmas. It departed Zhejiang on December 4th and arrived in Bangkok on December 7th and now the status from DHL is "Shipment on Hold". Why? What does that really mean?

Nice! While it was in Alaska, my delivery date got pushed from the 15th to 16th. It's in Louisville as of this morning. I still think a Monday/Tuesday is within the realm of possibility.

Bummer! I agree with you on Monday is a real possibility. I have lost count of how many times UPS changed my delivery date.

From Shanghai, it can go directly to Anchorage, AK, or to Incheon, Korea then to Anchorage. Recently placed another order for the apple watch and it went departed Shanghai and actually went to Osaka, JP, and now it departed Osaka, JP, my next guess is Anchorage, AK.

I also got 12/11/2020. but now it's delayed to Monday. It just left Osaka, JP.
