Australian Watch Pre-Order Thread

Yes! I think people will want them through June. Would be good if we could work out some sort of pattern. Thx for the good work btw

It seems like there has been very very little movement on SG 42's this week in OZ. I wonder whether they've held off because of the taptic problems and we get a big flood of watches next week?

Good to see someone people find it useful and interesting :) I'll keep it updated over the next few weeks - if I find time, I'll set it up on a website to view.

That all being said - my spare White Sport Band was shipped today, and to my surprise is being sent via TNT but is originating from Hong Kong. This means a lot of packages (presumably Apple Watches included) won't go through my TNT Tracking service.

My understanding is that the TNT Tracking is only domestic shipments (within Aus) and come straight from Apple Warehouse in Sydney. This means a lot of the shipments from overseas won't be tracked - and currently don't have a method to track them. Guess just waiting patiently for that email from :apple:.
 
2 Apple Watches for Sale

Anybody in Sydney interested on a 38mm Apple Watch in Hands?

I have one with White Sports Band, and one with Milanese Loop.

Both were opened, but never used for longer than a day.
In fact, one of them has never even been turned on. :cool:


If interested, just let me know. I'm not interested in making a big profit! I just won't need 3 watches.
I could just return it to Apple, but I realise many of you might still be waiting to get your anxious hands on one. :) (as I was)
 
Update from processing hell:

Order on – Model – Delivery ETA
10/04 – 42 SG BSB – 27/05 10/06

21/04 – Bright Blue Leather Loop Large – 25/05 01/06
-> CC charged -> EOD

27/04 – 38 SS WSB – 14/05 21/05
-> EOD
 
Omg omg omg.

Prepare ship. Thrusters on full!

27/04 – 38 SS WSB – 14/05 21/05
-> EOD -> CC charge -> PFS

1 down 1 to go! (+1 extra band)
It's the one for the missus. She doesn't know about it. Goes to Melbourne for a week tomorrow for work. Can I resist when it is going to be delivered?
 
A friend of mine ordered a 42 SS WSB for me in Australia on May 7, his creditcard was charged within 30 minutes after the order was placed, but on Friday the status was still processing. Can I safely assume the watch will be send the coming week? These 42 SS WSB watches seem to be only in Australia right now, the rest of the world has long waiting times.

From my experience recently with the extra leather loop band I ordered and my 42mm SS WSB, my card was charged at the same time as my status went to preparing for shipment, after 24 hours my item has shipped. Iv heard apple doesent charge your card until they plan to ship the item ASAP. My band order was PFS yesterday and card charged, and my tracking information was sent to me after 5pm today.

Thank you. As I can't check the order status myself, I guess I'll go back to harassing my friend in Sydney through whatsapp again ;)

Hehe, that's what I'd be like too! Generally tracking information with TNT isn't updated until after 1pm on a week day. So probably Monday? :) and all of my orders have been shipped after 5pm from apple. Hope your watch is on your wrist soon!

Hope so too! He has to send it to the Netherlands afterwards. Looking into the fastest (and cheapest) transport right now.

I'm interested with the white sports band.

Now how do I private message someone in this forum? Can't seem to find the function, lol.
 
Now that the missus watch is PFS and arrives this week the anticipation rises again for mine. But I also think Apple will now honour the delivery times they quoted to people. They might arrive a day earlier but not more. Then again let's see ey!

Update from processing hell:

Order on – Model – Delivery ETA
10/04 – 42 SG BSB – 27/05 10/06

21/04 – Bright Blue Leather Loop Large – 25/05 01/06
-> CC charged -> EOD

27/04 – 38 SS WSB – 14/05 21/05
-> EOD -> CC charge -> PFS
 
My order for:
Apple Watch Sport 42mm Space Grey Aluminium
says xx.11.59
Still Processing
Delivery to Melb....

Hoping that this happens in the next couple of days, I note the yanks are in the xx.09.xx territory and the Canucks xx.12.xx so it must be close...
 
One of my watches (actually for the missus) just changed to shipped:

27/04 – 38 SS WSB – 14/05 21/05
-> EOD -> CC charge -> PFS -> Shipped -> Arrival on 12/05

Now mine needs to come (and my extra band):

10/04 – 42 SG BSB – 27/05 10/06

21/04 – Bright Blue Leather Loop Large (band only) – 25/05 01/06
-> CC charged -> EOD
 
It's all happening today!
My extra band just went PFS!

Update from processing hell:

Order on – Model – Delivery ETA
10/04 – 42 SG BSB – 27/05 10/06

21/04 – Bright Blue Leather Loop Large (band only) – 25/05 01/06
-> CC charged -> EOD -> PFS

27/04 – 38 SS WSB – 14/05 21/05
-> EOD -> CC charge -> PFS -> Shipped (arrives 12/05)
 
My 38mm SG BSB (confirmation 5:14pm) just shipped!

Got charged on Friday the 8th of May, and changed to Preparing for Shipment sometime between 5-7pm that day.
Got the shipping notification on Monday the 11th just before 5pm.
Email says it will be delivered tomorrow! Very excited!
 
Now that more people have Apple Watches, does anyone want to swap their unused 42mm Small/Medium Black Sport Band for my unused Large Black Sport Band?

That way we both have a spare half strap?

TNT Tracking Update: 1604 Apple Packages added to the system today

T Apr 30 - 2314

After 2 weeks of tracking Apple TNT Parcels – it seems the initial theory of having 'waves' of :apple: Apple Watch shipments isn't the case. These records suggest that Apple Watches are being shipped constantly/shipped as they're made.

Did people still want to see these updates?

Disclaimer: I understand some shipments go through StarTrack. Not all Apple TNT Parcels are watches, they may be accessories, Mac, iPhone, etc.

A bit late but Ye s please !! Can I ask how you get the info ?

I've written a script that checks through Apple TNT Tracking Numbers to figure out what the newest generated number is. Do it once a day and I can work out how many parcels are sent each day.

The latest tracking number is: 5346346

The thing I do mention a few post back is that it appears to only track those from domestic shipments i.e. direct from Apple's Warehouse in Sydney. It also cover any apple product - iPhones, Macs, Accessories etc.

Apple Watches most likely will be shipped directly from China so can't be tracked via this method. TNT's international tracking system isn't as nice to track so I haven't yet found a method to use it.
