I ordered mine yesterday morning from the Australian online Apple store and received it this morning :)

That explains it. I got 9/25-9/29 for the silver SS to replace my series 0

Does this mean that everybody who ordered a stainless steel model (e.g., me 😅) should basically chill out for the next week? Have there been any confirmed SS shipped statuses in this forum?

Congrats! Is this the 40mm? I think it came much quicker as it’s the fauve barenia band which has been around for many series.
I ordered a 44mm Hermès with the new Bambou band and it’s stuck at PFS and only delivers 28/9 to 1/10.

Yes - 40 mm. Congrats on your purchase! I love a classic band, and You can’t get more classic than the fauve barenia 😉 as frustrating it is to have to wait, you will appreciate the watch even more as soon as it arrives, and you won’t be disappointed!

I did consider the other band options because swift leather can handle a bit of moisture, but I’ll just make sure I don’t wear the barenia when it’s raining or when it’s likely I’ll get sweaty to try to ensure the patina develops as evenly as possible 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I have an Apple classic buckle in the same colour that I can put on instead if I want a similar look without having to worry so much about staining!

In other news...I’ve just set the Watch up and I’ve got to say the watch app is REALLY buggy! I’m trying to select and save different watch face options now that the watch is paired and the faces disappear when I’m trying to select them. I might post first impressions elsewhere though and see if I can post a video of the issue.
 
Where in AUS? I’m waiting for TNT, Crows Nest, Sydney.

I’m 7 minutes from the CBD and close to the depot- I was probably one of their first deliveries - they usually deliver to me first or last for the day (on their way back to the depot before they go home)

Ahhh. Mine is coming from Erskine Park. Still hasn’t updated to “out for delivery”

So you’re clearly in a different time zone, so for reference, what time was it delivered and what time did it show as being shipped?

Yes I’ve also found the swift leather to be more durable.
Maybe try restarting both iPhone and watch to see if the bugginess disappears? Have you updated the iPhone to iOS 14?

May I ask what time zone you’re in and how late in the day you received the shipment status update? It’s early evening on the west coast here and I’m still in “preparing” mode.

Lol 😂 Shipped at 08:48, in my hands by 09:25. TNT (for once) exceeded my expectations.
 
You so lucky, ordered mine yesterday too around 10am and still nothing. Processing still, how quickly did your status change?
I’m getting space grey and sports band. Sydney too 👍
Mine moved pretty quickly! Shipment was processing from late arvo on 17th and again this morning (it changed depots at 5 am), was with a driver by 08:48 and in my hands in just over 30 minutes. I live fairly close to the depot though - I would have been one of their first deliveries

All up to date - I’ll give the restart a shot.
