Ordered yesterday, have guaranteed ("") delivery before 10/11. Still a better wait than the Apple Store, and with the $60 promo, and considering tax, it worked out to a better deal than ordering somewhere like BH Photo.
 
Thanks for the tip about fed ex delivery manager. Long story, but I had ordered last Friday. I called on Sunday because I had some questions and the rep put me on hold and cancelled my order! I reordered with a 10/11 date. Just checked fed ex and it says will be delivered by tommorow evening!
 
Ok I will chime in with a question. I ordered an 8 plus and a black stainless steel Series 3 from VZW at 3:01 on launch day. I got a notification from verizon that my phone has shipped but nothing on the watch. I have seen the fedex tracking through the app which says the package is 3 pounds. Is it safe to assume the apple watch is in that package ass 3 lb. seems a lot for just a phone?

My package says 3 pounds and it is only a watch
 
Surprised to see no tracking info yet from Verizon. My order still just says says "processing" and there doesn't seem to be a way to access Verizon's tracking system like we used to. Fedex won't let me set up a delivery manager account, telling me it can't verify my info and to check back in 30 days :/
I just got a tracking number from an email from Verizon. Hopefully you will get one soon also.
 
Whoa - pre-ordered via Verizon when they went live. Ordered black stainless with black band. Then thought about how it wouldn't look so good with my collection of bands I have to go along with my Series 1 silver stainless. Called about 9 a.m. to cancel and re-order stainless in silver with milanese band for expected date of 9/29. Just got tracking number for delivery tomorrow!

Note the $60 (3 months free then $10, $30 Activation waived) deal on Verizon is equal to the $55 deal on AT&T (3 months free then $10, $25 Activation waived).
