Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

I'm sure this big delay was due to the fact that there were number of covid cases in that airport in Shanghai, which practically put most customs on hold. There were quite a few report on this for those whose iphone 12 pro max and 12 pro mini was order after the pre-order date but got a later shipping date.
I find this very odd. I got an import scan on 12/12/2020 about 2 am. I didn't get any departure scan from Louisville, KY or any arrival scans and now it's ready for pick up. It must have just magically teleported. I'm wondering if there were any issues with the scans last night or something. Not seeing the departure scan, I for sure thought it wouldn't make it today. was just surprised to get an e-mail from UPS that it was ready for pick up.

Thanks for the info DrRadon! Still in Netherlands as of today. Just got a call from someone in the Netherlands this morning which is weird (didnt identify himself as from Apple so I’m guess maybe DHL) asking if I got my package yet. Probably confirming they should send it maybe. Anyway hopefully it will send tomorrow and then it’s will get here in no time. Changed to delivery by 16th. Man they really work when it comes from the top!! 😂 Waited 5 weeks for the first one that didn’t come!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.
Got mine at last, fantastic. Now got to learn how to use it. 1st Apple Watch I have owned.
Ordered a 44MM Apple Watch 6 Nike Edition Space Gray from At&t on 12/09/20 and arriving 12/16/20.
i know, this might be a little OT, but today i was kindly surprised by apple! I ordered a braided (green) solo loop on nov. 25th. When ordering, i was told, that the delivery can be expected in end of January. But today, i received a notification, that delivery will be tomorrow =) sweet!
Mine has been pushed out each day this week. As of now, it says delivery tomorrow. What's weird is that there are no destination scans either. The In Transit part just keeps changing locations. I'm not counting a specific day - I just want it before Christmas.
YES FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!! Wooohooo!
thanks man! Love it!!!!!
Ordered on the 4 November.
Delivery 17 December!!!!!! 🤬🥴
First watch lost (stolen by UPS).
DHL delivered replacement this morning.. Ohye..... ⌚️

I finally decided to trade in my S5 for a S6. I was going to skip this year, but I caved - the $190 credit I'll get to trade in my 5 helped. So yesterday I ordered a 44mm Nike Edition Space Grey with the Pride Sport Band, which my local store had in stock, and it was delivered via courier for an additional $5 less than two hours after I ordered it. Love it!!
I don't know how Apple manages the stock of watches/bands but seems a joke. Wanted gift an 6 to my wife, and she wanted the aluminum silver case with the silver milanese loop and these were the time estimations:
- Silver Alu + milanese loop: january
But:
- Silver Alu + sport band: 24h
- Stainless steel silver + milanese loop: 24h
How is this possible? Both band and case were available in 24h but not the combination of them. I ended up buying the stainless steel one as i wanted to gift it for the 24th. I've initially thought that the band and the case were part of the same pack but it seems that not, they came on different internal boxes... is this an strategy to sell the expensive models? Makes no sense for me...

The BTO (build to order) concept is not available for the watch 
i might have misunderstood you.. since you described three different products, you should not expect apples delivery chain or a reseller to open one box, in order to exchange one single part of the package =/

Lickety-split.
Happy Holidays.

I finally got fed up with Garmin "Vivosport" unreliability (the strap broke on my first one, and the current one doesn't charge properly), so I ordered an Apple Watch S6 space grey with charcoal sport loop. I've never really seen the need for an Apple Watch before, so it'll be interesting to see how I get on with it.
So dropped my Series 4 Nike edition on Monday and shattered the screen. Picked up a Series 6 blue aluminum at ATT on Tuesday. Have to say that for a double update not super impressed by the new watch - the always on feature is pretty underwhelming, speed wise seems just as snappy as my 4. My 02.
My Watch 2 died....just died. Can't charge it, turn it on, nothing after trying different charging cables, USB ports, etc. Dead and well beyond any warranty. So, I decided to spring for a new model and ordered a gold Watch 6 44mm on Jan 7, with expected delivery Jan 18. Checked tracking this morning and it now says delivery tomorrow, Jan 12, despite current location showing Osaka. Wonder if it will actually show up tomorrow? Looking forward to getting it whenever it shows up! 🤓🤔
I finally decided it was time to upgrade from a Series 0 I've had for 3 years to a Series 6 40mm in Silver Aluminum! It will be arriving on Thursday.
