Mine just changed too - 9/21!

Was saying 9/28 just 15 mins ago. Now it is saying 9/21 estimated by 9:00pm.

Sadly, my wife's watch is still showing waiting to be shipped.

(I'm in California - near LA).
 
Did I order some kind of super rare combo or something? Why is my delivery not until November??? I ordered almost immediately a 44 Silver Aluminum GPS with a black braided band. 2 months for delivery?

Ordered space gray aluminum Nike black sport loop shortly after store came back up. Went to preparing to ship next morning. Got tracking today. It’s in China. Little annoyed that pre orders aren’t launch day when I can order same watch for in store pickup today right now. Don’t wanna deal with a mall and returning the other one so I’ll wait. First world problems, but I thought Apple was better than this with pre orders.

My wife ordered a leather band and hers is still preparing for shipping while mine has a Monday estimate. Definitely think it is based on the band. I ordered a plain sports band because I have several already that I like.

Same here. Imo, Apple could have started the China movement last week or even earlier this week and it wouldn't have been all that much different. Those of us who ordered right after the store opened are sitting here waiting for our watches a whole weekend while most stores have them available for pickup (here in California anyway). Annoying but I've had this happen before so I was fully aware. Not having to drive to a store, wait in a line, interact with people. Oh well.
 
Im glad they are updating the shipping. With so many of us ordering so soon, I had a hard time believing it would take that long to deliver for most.
 
Ummmmm I have two tracking numbers from Apple. One UPS and one FedEx. I ordered one Apple Watch. I’m confused.

if I get two, then cool. I’ll have them charge my card and give one to my mom. Still strange!
 
Ordered a Blue aluminum 44mm and Deep Navy Blue Sport Band right after the Apple Store App went Live.
Arrived today at 11:56am ET via FED EX.
It was shipped from Carlisle, PA.
I’m in Boston.

UPS still isn’t giving me a delivery date yet but my package only departed mainland China about an hour ago.
 
My 40mm Blue Aluminum with Inverness Green Braided Band will be delivered on Monday! My tracking just updated with a delivery date.

Are you doing a trade in? Could be the box coming.

I ordered within half an hour. 44mm Blue Alum. with Inverness green band. It's been Preparing to Ship since Tuesday night, with no movement on that status since then. I ordered it to pick up today at my local store. Really dropping the ball on this one, Apple.
