Ordered tonight

40mm GPS Gold with Pink Sand Sport Band Sep 28 - Oct 1

44mm Cell Red with Red Sport Loop Oct 5- 8

I could have had the 40mm and the 44 Red with Sport Band on Friday from BestBuy, but I wanted the loop and getting 0% + cash back from apple seemed like a decent enough deal.
 
All 3 still at the processing stage. Should see some movement soon.

Yikes. Watch still stuck on processing, not been charged yet. Hoping they do something with my order today. Did not enjoy the way Apple handled the announcement of pre-orders during the show - was caught by surprise lol!

They should have open the pre-order stage by mid-night or something with a set time. But it looks like alot of people ordered the watch right away and they were seeing delayed release.
 
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.

It's the band that caused the delay :( I would suggest to order the watch with a non unique or brand new band and then order the band seperate. You won't have to wait that long then.
 
Hoping for sooner. We shall see. Also, looking at the Nike sport loops for an extra band. I like the Obsidian Mist and the Spruce Aura, but not sure if they are more feminine than in the photos. Thoughts/opinions?

For those who can confirm their watch has shipped, what does FedEx show for the dimensions of your package? I ordered a watch and two bands (3 items) and I now have two tracking numbers in the FedEx app. Both are showing dimensions of 14x1x4 and 1lb which leads me to believe each shipment is a band. Watch has estimated delivery of Sept 25-29 but shows “preparing to ship” just like the bands do but bands are confirmed for Friday.
 
Shipment just showed up in UPS MyChoice with no scheduled delivery date yet. Currently at Preparing to Ship with 9/25 - 9/29 delivery date. Sadly it looks like its coming from China, which probably means it won’t come on Friday :(

My guess is Monday. Probably similar for all the 9/25 - 9/29 people.

Nothing in UPS MyChoice for me yet. I’m going to try my local stores first thing Friday as well.
 
If globally nobody has seen a shipped notification yet, and they have a Friday slot, my guess is the watches are all located in those respective countries. If these were coming from China, you’d have seen a shipping notification by now.
Indeed it would have shown shipped on Sunday/Monday coming from China and then spent two days in Korea for customs as we all sweat it out here.
