are you trading anything in? My watch is ups, trade in kit is fedex
Still a member of the "preparing to ship" club (3 days now). Solidarity with my fellow "Awww come on!!!!" 'ers.
My wife is in the same boat - her watch is still preparing to ship - she ordered the same time I did - right after the stream. She chose a gold aluminum 40 mm with a leather band. I chose a 44 space grey aluminum with a sports band (plain).

Yep, same here. FedEx for the trade in kit - UPS for the watch.
I think it’s the braided band. I looked at just ordering that band it it doesn’t ship til November.
My UPS delivery estimate just updated to Monday too. We’re all in this together! I hope I still have some oxygen left in my blood for the watch to measure by then!
Mine just updated to Monday woohoosie!YES! finally shows Monday 9/21 delivery!
After ordering my watch for local pickup, I looked for a watch with braided band for my wife. And I didn’t see any braided bands for local inventory in my area in ANY of the sizes.
Same. The only two Apple Stores in my area are closed. At least I know that my watch is on the way.
Whenever Apple sends a trade-in box, it shows up in my FedEx account as coming from me, which can be a bit confusing sometimes.

I don't understand this sentiment. Apple has always sent inventory to stores for launch day purchases. You were able to go to the store and pick up your watch, or wait for the shipping. You got your watch. How exactly did apple drop the ball?
Status went to "preparing to ship" yesterday, then to "shipped" late last night.
UPS shipping.
I'm in Northern CA, east of Sacramento, if that makes any difference.
ETA: Monday 9/21.
44mm, GPS + Cellular, Black titanium.

I cancelled my order for blue 44mm GPS with blue braided solo loop. November 23 delivery date is just too far away. Instead the Best Buy down the street has the model I want but with blue sport loop in stock and ready to pick up in an hour or so. I ordered the braided blue loop from Apple and will wait patiently for that. (still says November 23rd-ish for just the band).
I can’t speak for the OP but when I ordered on Tuesday, store pick-up was unavailable. Suddenly today, it’s available. I don’t mind waiting till Monday. In the grand scheme of things it’s a privilege to even be inconvenienced by such a minor thing, but I wish Apple hadn’t waited until today to offer that alternative, especially as it seems their in-store inventory is unusually varied and robust at the moment.

My delivery date just got updated from Apple's 9/28 to Monday 9/21 as well from UPS
Well, my local store isn't even open so i'm not going to be able to agree with how robust their inventory is. I just think it's a bit silly to get worked up over something as trivial as this. It happens every year around here. I think the decision to not have the in store option available on Tuesday had everything to do with the fact that they don't know from day to day what stores will be open or closed due to the pandemic. Safe bet is just to not include it.
Finally, out for delivery. I wish the Apple stores near me were open. This would be so much easier to just pick it up.
Just got back from picking up my 44mm ss graphite in store, my original order which was 6 mins after launch is still preparing to ship.
Some time off but will definitely be getting the Product (Red) variant in the future-looks great!
Just got a UPS text that said my 44mm Blue is being delivered Monday, 9/21, which is better than the Apple estimate of 9/28.
I don’t think it’s something worth getting worked up over either, but I’m just speaking for myself. I would never presume to police anyone else’s excitement or disappointment. 2020 has been such a stressful year that if people are able to look forward to something, anything, they have my support, not my disapproval. Another person’s excitement or disappointment is also not worth getting worked up over.
I'm not worked up. It's just that this happens every year. Apple didn't drop anything.
