I am a little late to the boat, but I went ahead and pre ordered the gold SS 44mm. I know I am way past the September 21st launch date, but not by much! I should get my Apple Watch by October 15th!!
 
Just a little side note. The Apple Support YouTube channel has been updated with some help videos showing off the new watch. They are a good look at the new form factor.
 
This is pretty good compared to the US. I check on my Series 0 42mm Stainless Steel in perfect conditions and Apple trade in is $25.

Yes, by now I have that on the 2 watches and 1 phone. Only the phone that as an Export Scan and is in Chek Lap Kok, Hong Kong doesn't have it. (if anything I expected Hong Kong been delayed). All others seem to route via Shanghai.
They all have moved during the day to tentative. The phone actually only in the last few hours.

To clarify I did not make any changes to the order and I have pending charges and all seems to be in order.

I’m an employee for Ups and from what I have been told all the devices are in pallets that are going to Louisville, ky and Thursday during the day they are going to release them in the system so they get to their destinations on time.
 
Gettting to think my delivery is going to be delayed. Order still processing. Should have gone to PFS by now.

Oh well we wanted to get away early Friday anyway so if it goes to Monday we’ll manage just fine.

Hopefully its getting on a plane to get state side soon! No movement on my XS Max though.

My UPS deliveries are often at the VERY end of the day. Waiting all day gets old, so the question is; if I request hold for pickup, will that keep it off the truck and be available as soon as the public counter opens? At 9am for me?

Yes you might have to wait at the pickup location, but it’s better than waiting all day, I suggest holding at the ups facility not Ups stores

I've never waited more than 10 minutes at a CC for an Apple pickup, even right at the open. Some people are so lazy that they can't be bothered to even get out of their car to wait in line. Last year I rolled up to all these people beached in their cars, get out of mine and stood by the door. They all scrambled out to queue up. I think they thought they had some kind of lazyman honor system going.
 
This is normal. Trust your shipment date.
Well I hope so but if it doesn’t happen I won’t be crying any blues.

I do know in the past no tracking info showed until it cleared Canada Customs (other than it shipped) but even then the store showed the order shipped and that still has not happened.
 
anyone picking up there watch in store on Friday?

I am - I woke up a few minutes late on pre-order morning and by 00:31 PST ship dates had already slipped to 9/28-10/5 for the Aluminum S4 44mm in SG, but the in store pick up date for my closest Apple store showed 9/21 availability, so I booked a pickup time for 19:00 Friday evening. My card was charged yesterday morning, so looks like all should be set for me to get my S4 on launch day.
 
I preordered one for my wife and myself from BH Photo. Saved 70 bucks in tax. Supposed to ship on the 21st.
