Legend! Just checked that site and if I understand it right its at my local depot :)

Does say possibly delayed though...

That's probably because of the public (bank) holiday. It will most likely update again in the morning once it's out for delivery.

Which reference number are you using?

Edit: I see you've sorted it. ��
 
As it has already been said, Dover Street Market only had 38mm models today (as expected). I thought, who knows - maybe they got some kind of 'special' delivery...you never know.

I called them today ahead of my (second) appointment asking if they had the 42mm available. They said "yes, although we cannot guarantee stock - we do have all available styles and am sure we'll have something you'll want."

This is the second time they've said this to me. Sure enough, when I went there were only 38mm, I asked if they had any 42mm in stock at any point today - the lady said they never had any. I'm pretty frustrated by the whole experience, they seem to lie just to get you in the store.

On my way out I saw a couple of shady guys (the fourth time I've seen them), they are usually whispering. Why is it the people who buy to sell on eBay triumph over those who genuinely would like the product?

This serves me right for my impatience!

Sigh

Once the order has been dispatched/shipped you will be provided with a tracking number by Apple.

If the courier is UK Mail then you can use the link I provided above. If the courier is UPS then use their website to track the parcel.

On the Apple site, it says that my order is "In Transit to customer - Shipment Delayed" all of a sudden, and the expected delivery date has gone back a day to Wednesday - anyone else had this?

Also trying to track my parcel on the UKMail site no longer works, even though it did yesterday!! Just says "No results found" when I put in my tracking ref??

I have the same.

I called apple yesterday to enquire why. Was told the watch had left their care and would have to speak to UK Mail.

The UK Mail website states the watch was picked up this morning (Mon) at 10:46 and due to be delivered on the 6th.

I use an app on the iPad called parcel and it gives a little bit more info. It states the watch is sitting at Ryton this morning. Not checked for a few hours

It would seem that UK Mail will deliver it on Wednesday. Might try to pick it up tomorrow if it reaches my local depo.

Good luck to everybody whose watches dispatched on Friday for a delivery tomorrow.

Update.
Checked the link that was posted by Swiss-G and it looks like it is sitting at my local depo. Thanks to Swiss-G for the link. Will be saving that into my favourites :)

I feel your pain, went in today expecting to receive a 42mm, in any strap but was unlucky. They also didn't offer an appointment for the next day just so that i could again drive down to make an appointment for the following day, the whole process seems a bit unorganised. Whilst talking to one of the representatives i asked him why they are not clearly seeing the buy-to-sell people basically queuing up outside with the aunties and uncles and "do something about them" with regards to limiting their purchase. I explained that these people are there for profit and nothing else and do not have a interest in the product.

He basically replied with, " we are aware of this, and have therefore taken the steps to limit each customer to one watch"

Pretty pathetic really as all they need to do is get their uncles to book an appointment for the next day and they come in to collect.

Ended up buying a 38mm WSB just for the gym and other strenuous activities, leaving my SS model when it arrives as the primary watch.

You wouldn't happen to have bumped into someone whilst you were waiting in line for your appointment? your appointment was close to mine at 2pm, however i got there for 12:30 and was seen earlier.

Do you need a specific number for that search? Mine has been showing as 'collected' since Friday and shows up at Ryton in app but that page says it doesn't have any info on my package :'(

It should be the tracking/reference number starting with a 3.

Maybe I read it wrong.. Just refreshed the page and its just been scanned in Birmingham. Expected delivery now the 6th.

Hmm. Tracking should look like this.

It is normally collected from Syncreon at Hinckley and is then then taken to Birmingham.

It's then transported to the local delivery depot overnight for delivery next day.

If it's not made its way to your local depot it could well be Wednesday for delivery. #

Mine is also showing the same thing! Now saying delivery 6/5, I'm hoping this is because of bank holiday,and will be sent to my local depot in Exeter over night and out for delivery tomorrow!! Here's hoping anyway!!!
 
Anyone else phoning in sick to work tomorrow? I am :). UPS delivery so could be anytime. Best of luck to everyone who's still stuck in processing hell I reckon big movement this week them Chinese will have been working hard for their rice this weekend.
 
Just saw a convoy of UK Mail lorries on the M1 closing in on Hinckley. Hopefully they were filled with Apple Watches. :)
 
I'm not sure if this is because my local depot is Birmingham, but mine is at Birmingham. Delivery due tomorrow, I hope you all get yours tomorrow!
