I got the Space Black Titanium in pretty quick and also received a 2 - 9 ship date. Crossing my fingers that ship times improve.
Got a tip for us?

First Apple Watch Series 7 Orders Arriving to Customers in New Zealand and Australia

I order mine at 7:01am on preorder day. Received an email confirmation that it was going to be delivered on Oct 15th. The apple store now shows 3-5 business days. What just happened here? I do not know if I’m getting it tomorrow or not. I took the day off work to make sure I was here for the order.
It's Friday, October 15 in New Zealand and Australia, which means it's Apple Watch Series 7 launch day. Customers in that part of the world are always the first to get their hands on new devices due to time zone differences.
Apple Watch Series 7 models are now beginning to arrive to customers who pre-ordered on Friday, October 8, and new Apple Watch owners are sharing photos on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, and the MacRumors forums.
Because there are no Apple Stores in New Zealand, customers in Australia will be the first to be able to pick up a new Apple Watch at an Apple retail location. In-store stock in Australia will give us an idea of what we can expect in other stores worldwide, which may be of particular interest this year because Apple Watch supplies are so constrained.
Many of the Apple Watch models began selling out shortly after pre-orders began, so customers who are hoping not to have to wait several weeks for one of the devices may be able to get one in-store on launch day.
Following New Zealand and Australia, sales and deliveries of the Apple Watch Series 7 will begin in Middle East, Europe, and then North America. Apple Stores globally are opening up right around 8:00 a.m. local time to allow customers to pick up reserved devices and make walk-in purchases.
Stay tuned to MacRumors tomorrow because we'll have an Apple Watch Series 7 review and comparison, along with more coverage coming next week. If you have a new Apple Watch Series 7, make sure to share photos below and let us know what you think!

You don’t have microfiber cloths? Looks dirty…
I ordered my through ATT stainless steal graphite 45 with milianese shipped date was 1-8th nov, it shipped today
You should have noticed the est delivery as you were checking out. Also, Apple's email confirmation shows deliver time. I ordered about 7 hrs after you for graphite SS and have safe del time as you. No surprise, I knew it as I was placinh=g my order.
My 45mm Silver Stainless Steel arrived here in Singapore about an hour ago now, came from a Series 6 and the new display is very noticeable with the much thinner bezels.
Like some of the reviews I saw mention even a small change on such a small device makes a bigger difference than you'd think.
One issue though, the new faster charging USB-C cable in the box appears to be dead on arrival, tried an official Apple 20W charger, plugging it in to my 16" MBP and a third party PD charger, nothing powers the new or old watch, guess its off to the Apple Store later to get it swapped out, that should be fun.

As long as you are not locked down where you are!Hi from Byron Bay, Australia (Thors current hometown). You pronounce it gday mate, not Good DayTell the next Aussie you see "seeyasavo" he will understand.
And China is miffed with us too at the moment!
In the exact same way it worked with the recent Pride Braided Solo Loop, QR code on the packaging on the band.
Regular operating hours here in the UK so shall imagine other regions will follow suit.
I see zero value in updating my series 6, I’m really hoping series 8 will have blood alcohol measuring. That would be a cracking feature.
Got my Aw7 today , love the new display BUT: I can‘t find the keyboard … tried in messages and eMail - nothing ! Only swipe and voice 😩
I‘m living in Germany …

Check your local Apple Store. I ordered the stainless steel version this morning and have a pickup scheduled for this afternoon!
This article is incorrect regarding the 8:00am local time. Just got to my local Apple Store now and there is nobody here. No employees inside the store either.
