And we have movement.
 
View attachment 956084Woo-hoo! Departed from facility! I guess it really is on the flight that left Shanghai three hours ago. You guys are wizards.
They were scanned at 6:52 am and then the flight departed at 7:17 am so yeah WE KNOW ALL WE SEE ALL ;)

WE ARE READY FOR OCTOBER FOLKS!! BWWAAAAAA HAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
 
Luckily the flight is already half way to Anchorage then its going to be a short 5 hours and 40 minutes trip to the distribution place in Louisville then to our respective cities :) :)
 
2 of my local Apple Stores are re-opening today (just outside Portland, OR -- the downtown one remains closed) but I guess they didn't get any inventory as I can't seem to order for pickup :(

I was able to pickup a 44mm Space Grey GPS only at the Washington Square location this morning.
 
44 Blue aluminum cellular with blue braided band also just left Shanghai. Apple still says 9/29 delivery but UPS tentatively has it for 9/21.

Originally 9/25-9/29 delivery date. My watch has somehow been stuck in customs and awaiting clearance for a little over 24 hours now. 44mm red Aluminum w/ red sport loop. My first apple watch too :(. Interestingly enough, UPS is still showing a Monday 9/21 delivery despite the custom's delay. So not too sure what to believe right now

I’m on the exact same boat as you.

How interesting. Mine is identical to yours as of 3:28am. That's where it differs after that. I wonder if some of the Shanghai watches got held back?

Not quite sure. Some clarity would be nice, as I find it unusual customs would hold back Apple shipments for 24 hours. Maybe UPS is just being slow on the scans?

That's what I would hope for if I was in that situation. I know in the past when following these events it was normal for things to report issues, then correct themselves and go back to normal like nothing was ever wrong.

My wife is still waiting for hers to leave China.
 
My watch is in the same shipment out of Shanghai as everyone else’s here. UPS still showing tentative date of 9/21. I’m still here watching with you guys even though I picked up the exact watch i ordered at an Apple store yesterday. This was such a stupid launch for Apple when people have literally been walking in to stores and getting watches. I just can’t wait for mine to arrive so I can return it and get my refund. Still loving my new 44mm Blue watch!
 
Ugh. UPS is saying I’ll get mine 9/24. Was really hoping Monday. Oh, well.

Next time, I’m skipping preorder and just wait for release day. Would be much faster. I live in OC, CA. We have TONS of Apple stores around me.

Amazingly, a Nike loop I ordered is STILL in “processing”! Their rep couldn’t tell me why. Will probably cancel it and just go to the store.
