Apple Watch Ultra Orders Delayed for Some Customers

Green alpine loop. Still saying 9/23, but not shipped. Not sure if they are waiting to break the delay to me, or if I’ll get shipment notice from some US based depot the next day or so.

I might end up with my current black Nike band though.

I think it's because of the band that has caused the delay. My Apple Watch Ultra and Ocean Yellow Band are still on track for this Friday, thankfully!

Now why does a model girl like you need a bulky watch like this for?!

Now I’m not saying women cannot do extreme sports - far from it their innate pain tolerance states they can do it better than your average man could. I’m simply curious.

That is great news I thought I was the only one to order from Best Buy. I also ordered the same one which is still targeted for September 23rd I just wish it would start moving along. It seems like it’s taking forever for it to change to preparing to ship.
 
How many have ordered from Best Buy? Has the status changed yet for you? Mine still says September 23rd delivery.
 
I haven’t received any movement on my 2nd Ultra that I ordered through Verizon on 9/9. It still say an estimated delivery date of 9/23. One of the watches is going back.
 
Mine appears to be on track for 9/23 delivery, but coming by way of Japan. I ordered the AW Ultra with the Midnight Ocean band, FWIW.

Because it looks cool. I’ve always admired bigger watches. Never been a fan of a smaller 41mm Apple Watch. Apple did an amazing job and they nailed it. Just look at the amazing engineering. This is a pioneer! Prime era for the Apple Watch! It’s jaw-dropping and stunning! ❤️😍

I am getting it. The watch is scheduled to arrive on Friday. According to Apple it has yet to ship. I feel a bit bad about purchasing it. I know it's mostly for people living an adventurous lifestyle. I am a fairly boring person. The most exciting thing I do is volcano surfing.

I just have to say I really love that big orange button on the side.

my reasons to buy:

Bigger screen.
Brighter screen.
That humungously programmable orange button.

NO bigger screen. Barely 0,3 mm more.

And only a few reviewers like Ray from DCrainmaker can review AW ULTRA with real world testing scenarios or real marathons and triathlons, not some bunch of folks sitting in a studio 😄

I WANT those reviews from a bunch of folks sitting in a studio. Is how I´m gonna use it.
 
Mine shows in transit on UPS, just as my 14 Pro did last week. Odd that this cycle, we aren't getting updates from Apple itself until day of delivery, but it's in the UPS system.
