Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

well...now I have two. One is "preparing to ship" and the other will be ready in 30 mins at my local store. Ordering within minutes of going live and waiting over a week...as opposed to walking to my local store and picking it up....hmmmm...well, I will just have to return the other one since it isn't possible to cancel.

Well...Still preparing to ship for Nike watch ordered 15min after event, expected 9/25-9/29.

Same watch available for pickup today at all local Apple stores in my area. Luckily it’s a birthday gift for later in the year, but if this were for me I’d be driving down to the store right meow! 😸

I doesn't have a delivery date on UPS yet, so still hoping it will get here sooner. I'm in NYC

Well, mine arrived at the hub at 7:40 am, but it's not showing out for delivery yet. My stuff usually shows OFD by 9-ish. Still says delivery today. I have a blue AW6 waiting for me to pickup at Best Buy (just ordered a few minutes ago: that was fast!)

Well... ordered a half hour after they became available on Tuesday. Still “preparing for shipment” for the last couple days (Blue aluminum 44mm w/ sport loop).

I can pick get the same combo locally today if I want (why didn’t I think about this on Tuesday...)

So, question is... do I want to make 2 trips to the Apple Store? (Since I’ll have to return the one that’s shipping...)

Only reason I’m considering it is the chance it doesn’t show up next week — do not want it arriving on the 28th as some some people here are getting estimates of. (I guess if that’s when it shows up, that’s when it shows up... since I can’t cancel it, haha.)
 
I got a shipment notification this morning for my 44mm Blue Aluminum GPS + cellular with blue solo band. Apple says delivers by Sept. 28th. My original delivery window is Sept. 25-29. UPS does not show delivery information yet, just coming from China.

Many apple stores in the LA area are still closed, but took a shot to check. Manhattan Village had my exact watch combo available for pickup today. So I will be picking up my watch TODAY in person rather than waiting and returning my online order.
Soooooo excited I'm going to get my watch on launch day rather than waiting another week!!

I guess I made a mistake ordering the blue braided solo loop. Still November 17th delivery estimate. Looks like it's time to cancel and re-evaluate.

Yup. I was on the store as soon as it opened, while the stream was still going, and the braided loop versions were already showing two weeks out instead of available on the 18th like the regular sportsband version. So I ordered that which is now out for delivery today, and figured I would order the braided loop later if I liked the reviews.
 
Same thing happened to me. I ordered ithe 44 blue aluminum with sport loop within minutes of the store going live on the 15th, still showing preparing to ship, card has not been charged. Found the exact same in stock at local Apple store and will be picking it up TODAY in a few hours. When the one ordered Tuesday finally gets delivered I will just return it unopened to the Apple Store as it is too late to cancel.

Apple says 28th on mine but UPS hasn't updated at all. Just shows it's in motion.

Not to knock anyone else but I'm going to wait on the delivery rather than trying the store. I start a new job on the 28th so I'll just see that as my reward for finishing out next week at old job. New job is work-from-home so I'll be here to take the delivery.

Let's keep the accessories suggestions rolling, too. That Simpeak case has my eye right now because I love the idea of painting one an outrageous color as an easy way to customize my watch.

Gotta say it’s pretty aggravating to see the watch you ordered when orders opened available at the Apple store today. Probably something they should make sure doesn’t happen. It’s also very wasteful as many people will be buying and returning. I’m tempted to but mine should be here Monday.
