Greetings,
I held out and ordered from AT&T, an AW Series 6 SS Gold 40 mm with ML. I have a date of Oct 5-12th. I see this matches the Apple Store too.... in years past AT&T has always beat their time by a week or more. I’m hoping that’s true here. I’m wondering what dates other folks have that ordered from Verizon or AT&T directly (since they waited until the 18th to make it available online)?

Cheers,
B
 
If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would check there everyday on the website until you find one. This won't be a sell out by any means.

I ordered mine for store pickup on Launch Day at 8am and picked it up at 11:20.
SS 44mm LTE with sport band.
 
Thanks - it seems they had stock for the aluminum models....my local stores did too but none for the SS Gold. Hopefully AT&T will beat their dates. I'm hoping with folks picking up models in store and cancelling Apple orders other orders might move faster. <fingers crossed>

You have a good point there. Good luck 👍

After the election.

lol 😂
 
Ordered a 44MM Space Grey aluminum on the 18th and a 40MM Space Grey Aluminum. The 40MM arrived on the 21st, and the 44MM said delivery between 21-24. It moved from "In progress" to "Preparing to ship" today. Talked to an AT&T rep, they still told me it will deliver tomorrow on the 24th. I am finding this very hard to believe. We shall see.

I ordered from Verizon with a quoted date of 9/28 for Graphite SS 44mm w/ matching Milanese band. Haven’t had any movement yet, I wish I had an open Apple store near me.
Does Apple do watches on Verizon device payment or do u have to directly buy from them. I’ve always got my watches and phones thru Verizon.

No just the phones. I have the NEXT plan with ATT and I always order my phones from Apple using Next with the exception of last year - I found out ATT could get me the model I wanted faster (before I left on vacation) so I cancelled Apple and went with ATT. I wish they would do the same thing with the watches :(
 
Looks like ATT will come through again... it has moved to preparing to ship

UPDATE: Was promised today, and It DID ship... Today. My tracking says it will be here tomorrow instead. One day off isn't bad I suppose, and it does arrive before the weekend, so I can't complain too much! haha

Congrats! I'm hoping my tracking info is posted tonight and I can score it early next week. It's Thursday so I'm not holding out to much hope for a delivery before Monday but it's still much better than October :)
 
My order just shipped with Fedex scheduled for tomorrow ...(originally slated for Oct 5-12)

I ordered 2 Series 6 through AT&T business. They were offering $200 off the 2nd watch purchase. My blue aluminum ships early next week and gold stainless around 10/5.

I was surprised my Gold SS shipped last night and it's at my local depot today to be delivered by 430 pm. My original date was 10/5-10-12 so your gold might ship early too. I think ATT was able to get some stock in earlier this week and that's why some of their orders are now moving.

My watch arrived - definitely prefer this year's gold than previous years. It is beautiful....but it is light so it kinda changes colors based on the light you are in..... :).
 
My two regular SS that I ordered last Friday still show 10/5-10/12 for shipping. Hopefully they ship earlier, but I’m prepared to have to wait.

Update:

I got two separate emails about an hour ago saying both watches have shipped and will be here on Monday. 😀

I ordered early in the morning on the 18th on At&T a S6 44 Graphite and checked today and it shows shipped! I originally had 10-5 to 10-12 shipping date and now I have a delivery date of this Monday, way ahead of schedule 😊.
