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.
Depending on which band you go with for the Titanium, you can still have it delivery between 29th to October 1st.
 
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.
Normally I get this if I requested a hold for pick up. I recently ordered Macbook Air for my wife (wife purchased) it was coming from Hong Kong. But of course with customs it wasn't sure what date it would deliver so it had that but I just got notified by UPS that it's actually coming tomorrow. Wife will be happy for her new macbook air.

edit: make that the 12th.

It’s going through customs.
 
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.

Wait until iPhone 12 launches and we start tracking flights on FlightAware.
 
Does the UPS or FedEx method of tracking work for deliveries to Australia?
If yes, what do I enter as the tracking number?
Our order numbers here start with W and have 9 digits eg W123456789
 
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.

Braided loop was your downfall! The suppliers probably need the yarn for masks...
 
I'm in Toronto and have an arrival date of 29th to 1st. I stupidly chose the blue continuous loop, because I wanted the space grey and a velcro sport loop but it didn't have that combo when I tried to buy. Hopefully I can return the continuous loop and get a refund or a swap. I ordered the velcro I wanted separately and it of course is arriving tomorrow. Is everyone else in Toronto getting Fedex as their shipper? I have zero luck looking up by reference number there.
 
If you go on the UPS MyChoice delivery manager page, it might show you the scheduled delivery date, even if it shows no scheduled delivery date on the actual tracking page. Mine says 9/21. This is with a 9/25-9/29 delivery window and Apple saying it will come 9/25.

I'm in the same deliver windows. I can't find any information on UPS MyChoice manager or Fed Ex Delivery manager. My status still says "Preparing to Ship"

Mine doesn't show anything and my Apple date is 25-28th. Still at Preparing for Shipping.
 
Hmmm UPS offers an option to deliver the package earlier (on Friday instead of Monday) for an extra $5. Not sure if anyone's tried that in the past? If it actually works that would be amazing
 
If you think that's bad - Order confirmation 9 minutes past the hour on launch day. Third day of "Preparing for Shipping". No tracking labels on UPS or Fedex, slated delivery for Sept. 28-30

You think that’s bad? I ordered within 5 minutes with delivery date of 21st - 23rd of next week. Have not been charged, can still cancel and obviously no shipping. Just “processing.”
