I'm 10/5 - 10/12 and nothing from Apple yet. Sounds like your group will get a bump.

Same watch and delivery and no charge (not expecting one, but hoping to get lucky)
I ordered the same watch with sport loop. I ordered at 02:00:07 CST (yes 7 seconds after the 2 am preorder time) I had 9/21 through the whole check out until I received an update email the next morning it said 9/28-10/5.

Same here. Phone is preparing to ship but both my watches are "in progress" still. Mind you, one of them has a 9/21 delivery date and the other has a 9/28-10/5 date.
This not knowing thing is killing me. I've always preordered the new phone but only did the watch this year. I have a 10/5 - 10/12 date from Apple but the order I placed with Best Buy just says "We'll let you know when it ships".
If I knew for certain that I wasn't getting it until early to mid-October, I'd probably be able to relax a little but I feel compelled to check my Best Buy status every five or so minutes. I've seen people say they've called and been told it's coming on the 21st but both times I called it was basically "We can't tell you anything more than what's showing online.".
I'm trying to pretend my Series 3 is my new one but this is the first time I've gone stainless and I'm not falling for it.

My CC just got hit. Visa declined it at first but I got a text message notice and was able to authorize it, then go onto Apple web site and tell them to retry the card. I guess they get that a lot.
Just got my card charged again after it expired from the first preauth but UPS still showing: Shanghai Arrival 9/17/18 at 6:00 PM. I know they’re probably waiting for all of the phones to go through customs so they can put them all on one plane. Patience is not my thing.

What time did yours arrive in Shanghai? Mine has been there since 6:00PM on 9/17.

I’m not holding my breath, but I did find the charge to be a small ray of hope. My order email was 1209 am for reference.
nope, no CC change just yet and order has not updated still the same and its for a SS SB 44 as well. getting charged is a good sign for sure for you
watchOS 5.0 is out now. I just upgraded my Series 3 watch (new watch faces, no longer having to say, "Hey Siri", etc). Maybe that will help pass the time until your new gadget arrives.
I updated last night and it took my mind off the new one for all of three minutes while I played around with the new faces, which IMO look ridiculous since they made them round on a rectangular face. They fill the screen on the Series 4 so they actually went out of their way to make a different version for earlier models that makes no sense (incentive to upgrade, likely).watchOS 5.0 is out now.

Maybe it is for another order where the reference numbers are close, such as someone else’s phone.
I had the exact same arrival time in Shanghai but AL Space Gray LTE is still showing as sitting in Shanghai. Looks like it didn't make the same flight out as yours.
