Status, Preparing shipping, Apple Watch Series 6 GPS 40MM Blue Aluminum Case with Braided Solo Loop. Says it arrives on the 29th. Country = Portugal
Typically Apple uses UPS for pre-orders. Apple does use Fedex as well. Most of my apple orders are shipped via Fedex. Only time Apple uses UPS to deliver to me is a CTO MBP or pre-order (like iphones)
My order confirmation email says Friday. That’s the only email I’ve received since it hasn’t actually shipped yet.
My order (due on Friday) has updated to preparing to ship. Can’t wait!
I am hoping the watches will ship from the U.S. (for those in the U.S.).

I think I did just now, if it was about stores open in your state. All of them are closed for me.

If the watches haven’t entered preparing to ship phase, you can still cancel. I always try and get a default band or one that has been around a while. That way, I don’t run into what you did. I buy the bands I want for the new watch separately.
Hopefully, you will like your new watch. I think the new leather loops are ugly, compared to the former style.

What do you think would go well with the Apple watch? What type of band? any opinions on that.

Kudos!
I love it when small business owners go hands-on and embrace new technology.
I started out wire-wrapping an 8008 kit in the early 70's, my friend Eric built an Altair kit (circuit board soldering, like your HeathKit). I lived in Detroit at that time, and had a software development business with two others, and I remember we had a client in Ann Arbor that we called "The Snoop Sisters". Two sisters that owned a resale shop. They bought an Altos (not Altair) computer, which had a giant I think 14" disk drive with what we would consider a laughable amount of storage. And it was EXPENSIVE. We wrote an inventory system for them. For the first time, the Snoop Sisters knew exactly what they had in stock and where and could easily search for it.
And there was a business down the street from us that we did a little consulting for. It was some sort of import business, and the owner wrote his own accounting system in Microsoft Basic (running on DOS at the time). He just needed some looking over the shoulder for the fine points. I was impressed that he built the software all by himself, and it did exactly what HIS business needed!
I actually had a client that was using the Heathkits for industrial control processes and inspection/gauging.
Seen plenty of Altairs in auto plants in those early days, as I did a lot of industrial control/gauging/CNC stuff. Worked for a company that designed a CNC controller using a Z80 chip and that wound up being the Allen-Bradley 7000? or 8000? series. (They sold out to A-B). Anyway, their first microprocessor model, before that they used HP minicomputers.
Sorry, I digress, back to watch shipments!
If it still shows processing, cancel that asap.
I ordered the identical watch and got the same disappointing delivery estimate. Must be a supply problem with the band, or maybe just the wrist size. But, hey, it's the one I really like so I can wait. I'll have time to dig into the user guide. Excited tho.
