Best Buy.
I am looking at :
Apple Watch Ultra (GPS + Cellular) 49mm Titanium Case with Green Alpine Loop - Small - Titanium
For some reason it seems via the website it is still available for shipping to arrive Sept 26th. Is there a chance this would be available in store on launch via Best Buy / AT&T financing? I am still on the fence and wanted at least a chance to put on arm to see if it fits lolVery good chance I would say. There may well be plenty of in-store stock. It seems to be the case these days, with these things.
and then you can't tell until release day when everything suddenly 'shows up'. This wouldn't be hype building would it?
I'll be on a small trip out of town but driving back that afternoon, lol there is several Best Buy in the way back but the first one is somewhere with a lower tax rate lol. I'm still on the fence because I have a series 8 but might either alternate between the two or just outright replace the series 8 (return it)Very good chance I would say.

...I sold my titanium S7 yesterday. It's going to suck if that Ultra doesn't arrive Friday. First world problems I guess but I did pretty well on the sale. Paid $850 and got $650 for it 1 year later.
I was honesty just trusting BestBuy's 9/23 bit that still hasn't updated.

I’m still not showing any movement, credit card not charged, still says delivery 9/23. I’m pretty sure there’s no way it will arrive here on 9/23, even if the CC was charged today….
I’ll have to check local Best Buy and Apple Store on Friday.
It is what it is , this was my first BB Apple preorder; lesson learned.

If it’s next day delivery, they have till tomorrow to ship
Also, I had the option of getting the watch on 9/26 for free, or $12.00 to get it on 9/23

Not yet, I placed the order today, since at&t is taking their sweet time.
I could be way off, but going by my experiences preordering gaming systems BB usually charges right before pickup/shipping. I was surprised I had the option to get it delivered on 9/23 for $12… versus 9/26 for free, worst case I request a refund.
Seems BB has same day options in my area, hopefully that means I can get it on 9/23

Glad you got in and was able to order it. Hopefully we will all get it Friday as promised. 🤞🏻
Same for me.
I ordered mine last Saturday and it shows "Get it by Release Date: Fri, September 23".
I ordered mine on the 13th and it shows the same as yours ("Get it by Release Date: Fri, September 23") on the purchases page. When I click on "See details" it just pinwheels and says loading page please wait. It didn't do this up till 30 or so minutes ago. It took me to the order detail page.
Showing me the same thing. Though I rather have the orange alpine loop lol may purchase this and sell the loop.
