This is such an interesting thread! I've never seen people so indulged in tracking shipping information for a watch. Some of you could have a career at FedEx or UPS. There's a reason why Apple gives you an estimate and I doubt the majority of them will arrive prior to that time window.

40mm Red with red normal strap dispatched UK with DPD.
44mm space grey with Milanese grey still not dispatched.
Ordered about an hour and a half after they went live although it did get part blocked by my CC which I fixed in 15 minutes after I got the alert from my bank.
Do you have a time when you got your order email? I ordered the same red 40mm and still no dispatch? Be interesting if you ordered earlier perhaps?
 
Ordered at 7:25pm UK - event finished around 7. Was originally given 25-28th windows. Stuck here since early Wednesday morning :(

My watch and my wife's watch - still preparing to ship since yesterday morning. Still says: Arrives 25-29. Both aluminum. We ordered within 20 mins of the streaming event stopping.

yeah over on the iPhone pre-order threads we tell people "don't bother calling Apple to ask where your phone is. We can tell you EXACTLY where it is right now... and probably what flight it is on..."

I got the initial "we are processing" email from apple at 8:05 PM on Tuesday after I ordered (not sure of exact time I hit the button to order relative to the email). First dispatch email (no second dispatch yet) for the 40mm red arrived from apple at 5:50 PM today.

Our red is the standard clasp in red not the ring band it seemed to try and select by default for us.

GL with yours, hope this helps!

Dammit! I ordered just before that and still in preparing state! Suppose there’s still a chance.....

It can be waiting for a DPD tracking code, having ordered a lot of stuff using DPD in the past I will get a notification from other companies its been dispatched but the DPD part only gets sorted a few hours later.

🤞

That's amazing. I guess we can all hope for an early delivery. It almost feels like waiting for Christmas or your Birthday as a kid. Although sometimes the anticipation is part of the fun!
 
Any Hermes with 25-29 shipping yet? I'm still at preparing to ship with nothing on UPS or FedEx.

I have a DPD account that normally pings me before the company evens ships, I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
However all my other recent Apple purchases arrived by UPS. So, who knows? Thanks for replying.
 
If I want a Titanium edition instead, would it be dumb to cancel my SS I ordered on the day of the keynote? My shipping info is showing delivery between the 25th and 29th right now. I'm in the US.

Yeah I do not like UPS, hopefully you will get a DPD dispatch. I suspect apple may be using several companies although I do live in a remote location.
 
Has anyone ordered a new blue aluminum with one of the new bands and is getting it on the 18th?
 
Used the print off tool, yeah.
7 was snug, 8 was a little too loose. Went with 7, since it’s a stretchy material.

Will wait and see how it fits when it arrives.
I ordered the Solo Loop too. I read that in order for the blood oxygen sensor to work, the sensor has to be sitting firmly against your skin. I hope I didn't order the wrong sized loop! We will see...
 
Has anyone else seen this?

I posted earlier a couple of times showing screenshots of UPS saying delivery on the 22nd, and Apple’s website saying the same.

Now I’m seeing ‘Exception’ in the UPS My Choice app. Can see someone else a couple of pages back has their delivery currently on Shanghai too, so ours are on the same plane.
