I am (about a 20min walk to Eaton’s Centre). Ah man, pick a later pick-up time if it’s available? I hope so too. I stopped by the store yesterday, seems they have their sh*t together. Crossing my fingers for both of us!

Why are we awake right now? Haha

Lets hope it goes live at 6am. Ive never ordered day of for in store pickup before so this is new to me.

AW6 pre-order anxiety lol.

I ordered online, but date doesnt seem to be reliable. Saying Sept 29-1 on Apple order page. Sept 22 on one email and UPS had Sept 21, but now it says ETA Unknown.
 
Anyone in (Northern) Ireland? Mine says it arrived at a terminal in Ryton yesterday around 8pm and nothing since.
I'm near Reading but mine arrived in Ryton at the same time, 8:23pm. It left and arrived in Guildford since 6:28am and now out with DHL for delivery within the hour.

I’ve literally been waking up every hour lol. Kicking myself for hesitating when initially ordering after the event...didn’t know what I wanted. October 19th seems so far away!

Weird! I’ve never seen an order do that before, especially the “Unknown” part. It’s my first time ordering day-of too. Hopefully, we’ll be posting a happy note in t-minus 26 minutes.

And it clearly says in the notification for the watch that it’s not required

And my statement still stands. We were in the COVID lockdown a couple months ago (so same rules as what applies now....back then things were even more strict) and a signature was required then. So that’s why I asked the question.

Next time don’t be so condescending and maybe people won’t be snippy with you. Learn some manners.

I have a delivery date of Sept 21-23 but still on "Processing"

EDIT: "Processing" and "Express Delivery"

Guess we are one of the few special ones. Apple told me that express delivery meant next business day delivery, so when it ships we’ll get it the next day. Don’t know if that’s a blessing or a curse since our orders haven’t even prepared to ship yet, lol

No luck w in store pick up thus far. You?
 
Honestly that’s why I still love Apple I get Christmas twice a year. I don’t know any other company that has threads/posts on their updated software and new products that have 100’s and sometimes 1000’s of comments. The sense of camaraderie in here every year is also a big reason.

Oh, well, there is one other company currently getting a lot of attention related to the way they update customers on pre-order / order status / the way it is launched: SONY for their really crazy and customer unfriendly way to pre-order the PS 5.
Such examples clearly show how transparency on status (or even having the ability to pre-order) is valuable for customers and reputation.

I am however also waiting for my SS graphite which is preparing for shipment since a few days. Expected arrival in Germany Sep 28.

Just worried its going to be a crap show without a reservation. Im sure lines will be long.

True that. I asked an Apple Store employee yesterday saying I was thinking of coming to lineup at 8 (he thought I was crazy and said that’s way too early for a 10:30am opening...not sure if he’s ever seen the craziness on launch day before).

Luckily, I have a Genius appointment at 11:40 so might get lucky then. Who knows at this point. Is it October 19th yet?

No email or UPS MyChoice update yet but my SS (silver) blue sport band just flipped to "shipped" on the Apple store app. The associated UPS tracking number is not yet in the system. Originally scheduled Sep 25-29 for delivery in Vermont (US)

My 24-28 September order for a 44mm Graphite Stainless Steel Case with Cyprus Green Solo Loop (ordered at 20:14 BST, e.g. 14 minutes after the site was back open for orders on the evening of release) has shipped to London.

Got the email from Apple at 10:42 this morning. My order is being shipped via UPS and per their tracking link it is in Jiaxing, China.

Delivery date on the Apple site is showing as 25 September, but I'd be surprised if it took that long to make it over.
 
Got my 44 Nike silver 5 hours ago, Sydney Australia. Upgraded from series 3. Really happy with the upgrade.

Not sure i would be as excited upgrading from a series 5 or even 4. The biggest change is the additional complication/face types. Love the always on display too though.
 
I really hate waiting for the doorbell the whole day, I'm always impatient when it comes to new Apple products... :D
