Any T-Mobile preorder folks in here? I ordered 2 watches at earliest preorder time. One is 9/21-9/26. Other is 9/21-10/9. Ordered phone too, which has been charged. Watches haven't.
 
So annoying to order with 10 minutes of “go live” and no launch day availability.

44 Gold SS stone band......

I posted this on iPhone order thread, but this has watch info, too....

My iPhone XSMax 256 Gold & Gold S4 watch are now showing in UPS My Choice.

IPhone is at Zhengzhou Airport.

The Watch is at Suzhou, CN

Both say Order Processed: Ready for UPS. Both have UPS tracking numbers. I did nothing to search for the orders. They both just showed up on UPS My Choice.

Exciting! To be delivered on 9/21.

I'm also with T-Mobile and there is no action on my watch order either. I ordered the 40mm Gold SS with stone sport band. I've got a 9/21-10/2 ship date and I was on the phone with the rep just before midnight and shortly after it turned midnight my order was processed.

Edit: Let me add that last year when, I ordered my iPhone, T-Mobile didn't show any change until after it shipped. I got a charge notification on my card before T-Mobile showed anything.

Has anyone else had an extra pending charge for what look likes AppleCare?

I have preordered 2 Apple watches worth $1986 including AppleCare which apple has charged my credit card for on Friday night of pre order. My order is now preparing for shipment and I have been charged another $258 which works out to be AppleCare for both watches. I presume one of them will drop off? Anyone else had this before?

Not sure I understand your question. Did you order AppleCare for one watch but not for the other one?

Agreed. I entered an order for a 44 SS right when the site let us in, and I couldn't get a day first day delivery. I went with an Aluminum instead. I save $345. I'll only try so hard to give Apple my money.

I was so annoyed at the watch ordering that I decided to keep my 8 Plus for another year. That saved me another $1080.

At least my wife is happy that Apple screws up a launch so bad. We saved $1425 in all. LOL

The rep I was dealing with was rather clueless. Ended up ordering phone on Twitter. Was surprised watches had the date range. Phone was 9/21-9/21.

I have AppleCare for both. So basically I have been charged the full amount for the watches and AppleCare and then charged for AppleCare again in a seperate transaction. I will give apple a call today to discuss. Just seems weird being charged twice for the apple care.
 
Those that have tracking info, how many reference numbers are listed? I have 8 listed, one is my phone number, one is my order number, but the rest make no sense.

Very cool!
I’m still “processing” but went to the ups app and dropped the letter in front of my order number, dropped the last two digits, and got “order processed: ready for ups” so thanks for the tips, I’m going to be anxious to see that change!
 
Well Sh*t, I ordered SSSB 44mm LTE w. Milanese loop in Spain (not available in Netherlands yet, can have it delivered to friend in Spain). In the delivery data there was an error in the phone number. I was hesitant to correct it at first, but thought it could do no harm (it is only the phone number right?) so I just corrected it 5 minutes ago.... Delivery immediately moved forward from Oct 1-8 to Oct. 5-15:(. Not life threatening (the ECG doesn't work here anyway ;)), but still annoying if you only change the phone number...

In the same boat, on the east coast and it didn’t go live for a few min after 3. Places order in less than 10 min for SS 44 black sport and, shows the week after. Sure it’s prob only week but still s u c k s. At least I will have the max to hold me over.
 
I really can't decide on which Stainless Steel color I want :(

Ordered a Nike 44mm SG but will see the Gold and Silver in store and decide from there. I wanted a Nike version which many will prefer come resale time and then will determine if I want the SS. I really like all the pics and such I have seen with the gold but want to see it in person.
 
One 256 Gold Max with a matching Gold SS 44mm for my mother and a 512 SG Max with a SB SS 44mm for myself through Verizon, all with 9/21 delivery

I sold my SBSS 42 S3 the night before preorders at Gamestop for some instant cash. I placed my phone orders at 3:01am Eastern via the VZW app but the app only showed the aluminum watches which I didn’t want. Later, around 11am just before I had to get ready for work, I called Verizon to ask about the stainless steel models. Rep found them listed on their website and they were still showing 9/21 delivery so I placed the orders immediately with her and got a quick confirmation email. So everything is coming on Friday (*knocks on wood*) and earlier today I stopped by a Verizon store and picked up two Speck cases, each a matching color to the phones. I will likely customize a case with Skinit later since I do that for every phone
 
To track, go to UPS’ website and head to “track by reference.” Then paste in your Apple.com order number, but SUBTRACT the last two digits.

Do you also subtract the letter in front?
[doublepost=1537135886][/doublepost]Just noticed the hold on my account has dropped off. Still says preparing to ship on Apple order. Can’t find on UPS with order #. Very frustrating.

How much did you get at Gamstop? Last week when I looked it was like $125 for a SBSS

156 with my Elite Pro. A heck of a lot less than what it’s worth but like I said, I just needed some quick cash. My mom’s 64 SG 8+ and my 256 SG X are collectively worth 1,020 at Gamestop right now but I might sell those online instead
