Apple Watch Series 6 Shipping/Order Status Thread

[Nanotyrns]

It’s been said already. But wait till the iPhones. Lol

I usually buy the watch in-store so this is getting me in my groove for October lol

 

[Bo15]

Could be that they fly from Louisville or from Shanghai who know

FedEx and UPS have lots of flights China to Europe

 

[Runs For Fun]

Ordered on day 1. Can’t wait! I’m hoping maybe it comes sooner.

 

[LegCortex]

You have the same scans as me. What we need to see is a departure scan out of Shanghai at 0717. Let’s hope that UPS is a little slow with updating their scans, otherwise our watches are not on UPS 81.

Yeah, I really hope there’s a departure scan soon. If it’s not on this flight then I have no idea what the holdup is.

I usually pre order for instore pick up but this might not be an option this year in Vegas.

Since it’s been in Shanghai for while, don’t be surprised if there’s no departure scan. I’ve had Apple orders from China with several local scans and then show up with arrival/departure scans in Korea, Anchorage or even Louisville.

It’s funny, I’ve been tracking Apple shipments from China for probably twenty years now—ever since they implemented their build-to-order system around the turn of the century—and for some reason my mind goes completely blank every year. 😅

My watch left Kentucky at 5:22pm today and will arrive in my state early Sunday morning, to be delivered on Monday.

 

[Shadowbech]

You'll definitely get it on Monday.

 

[Jax44]

Uncle from Germany called. This morning he will be delivering my Graphite SS!

Is he bringing it by in person?
Be a nice visit!

 

[Jax44]

Same for my state. Apple is the one that decided to close all the stores, even though the infection rate really hasn’t been a big problem for the non high risk.

Our store in Monterey, Ca is closed, so I’m locked in on my delivery.

 

[HDJulie]

Anyone have the same date as me? Still no changes on my status.

I have those dates on 2 watches: 44 LTE Blue Aluminum with blue sport band, & 44 LTE Red Aluminum with red sport band. I have a pending charge on my card today for one of them but both are still at Processing so I don't know yet which it is. 3 others of my family ordered red watches & 1 got hers Friday, & the other 2 have shipped so I'm guessing it's the red watch that was charged.

Hopefully, next year we will all be here and healthy and able to go to our local Apple Store when we want / need to.

Pictures of the blue watch with red braid look really good. I may have to overindulge and get another watch.

UPS still says “date tentative” but for the date header in the app says Monday the 21st! Here’s to hoping!

You should be all set. Monday will be an exciting day. Don’t forget about bad battery life day one of WatchOS 7. Lol I will be setting up as new.

Every new device is set up as new, it’s my “purge day” after using betas all summer I wouldn’t want to bring anything that may have been backed up. Normally my watch and phone come on the same day each year so I purge them both at the same time. This year I have to think about what I’ll do.

I used the watch beta all summer on my series 5 so battery life comes second to me lol

Same for me. I used the betas as well and don’t want to risk bringing over any software bug / residual crude to my new overpriced but loved Apple products.

I just got charged for my 44 aluminum blue with blue solo loop band.... delivery date of 26 to 30th of September... any idea how long till it shows in UPS system?

 

[PTVMan]

The watch I ordered has been in stock at 3 Apple stores in my area since yesterday. I could get it tomorrow but I think I'm having more fun here tracking flights and sharing the experience.

You’re showing a lot of restraint

 

[macnmac]

You’re showing a lot of restraint

please lord give me the strength...

For my 9/25-9/29 travel buddies, we have movement.

Same plane as mine!!

 

[anshuvorty]

Same plane as mine!!

Which one?

I hope this isn’t the case, but my initial order for a watch looked just like this. The reason was that the “watch studio” let me order my watch with an “Anchor Grey” sport loop. “Anchor Grey” is last years model. This years model is called ”Charcoal”.

Because the “Anchor Grey” is not available, I got a text and email that said there was a problem with my order. I called Apple, and my order was marked invalid and was told that I had to submit a new order because my other order included a discontinued item. The new order had a delivery date of Mid to Late October.

The Apple person said they were going to have a manager call me back (currently the queue is 5 days) and see what they could do about moving me back to my place in line instead of putting me at the end.

Fortunately, I was able to secure a watch today from my local Apple store (I’m picking it up in a couple hours)., so I will be cancelling the October order after I receive my new watch.

I would suggest calling Apple and seeing if they can confirm the watch band and maybe correct it before your order gets cancelled. I’m not sure their system can do this, though. My only option was to cancel my existing order and place a new one.

Good luck, and I hope this isn’t the same issue that I had, but my “cancelled” order looked just like this.

Damm thanks for letting me know!!

Here’s my latest tracking.
