Not sure about that...I'm located in California and as of this afternoon, no update yet...Seems like it's still in Shanghai or UPS hasn't updated my status yet for a departure to AK...

Yep. I'm in Oregon and I have the exact same status as you: 7:04 arrival in Shanghai on 9/17
 
I believe all go from CN to AK but from there some go to CA vs KY, so theory could be correct.

Mine is still in Shanghai since 9/17 6:42pm and I live 1.5 hrs up from Louisville.

Mine in Shanghai since 9/17 at 6:00pm and I live 3 hrs north of Louisville.
 
Woke up and found out that my card was declined, my credit card company thought it was fraud. I updated the credit card, and now my watch is showing "processing" still, but shows a 21st delivery date. Anyone else have this happen to them?
Happened to me but during the day today. Caught it right away and sorted it out. PFS now.
 
My experience is that if they say 9/21 you will get it. I've done new phones every year since IUP.

I've seen products leave CN the day before due date, clear AK to KY and then customs overnight and at my UPS Cust Center by 8:30am for pickup. I've even seen date change to tentative, but I still get it. They cleared a typhoon once by re-routing thru Japan.

I don't know how UPS does it, but they are VERY good.

I think you are correct. China flights all go to Anchorage. From there some go to Ontario, CA and others to Louisville.

For us Canadians ours are routed to Louisville, then to Hamilton, ON and then by truck or more air from there across the country.

I’ve seen a few different Shanghai arrival times but none that match mine. Does anyone have a Shanghai arrival of 9/17 10:21pm?

I'm also in California and received a 7:04 arrival scan. Same progress as you ATM, as well.
 
From what I have been told by upper management is they are being moved in waves so the system doesn’t get bogged down so the next wave of shipping from China to anchorage should happen tomorrow

I'm so jealous of all of you. Still sitting at October 12-19th. Hoping that gets bumped up when they get another batch made.

That's exactly what mine says, along with the message

This item will take longer than usual to ship. As soon as it’s ready, we’ll send you an update and prepare the shipment.

Well, why does it take longer? Somebody got some explaining to do.
 
I tried the reference trick and found a watch bound for Charlotte, when I’m in DC, so I’m unsure this is the correct one. But I also have two watches under the same order number, with different delivery dates. Does anyone know how they have handled this in the past? Same reference? Some kind of suffix?
 
Did anyone order Gold SS 44 for Sept 21? I got into the store immediately and my order is backordered. Ships Sept 28–Oct 2.

Yep. I got the gold and will reuse my black milanese band with it. My series 2 black ss case has held up very well, but I wanted to try something different.

So how is everyone finding out where their watches are? My order just says preparing for shipment.

If you go to UPS and enter your Apple Order number minus the last two characters, you should get some tracking information.

Be sure to enter your zip code in your search so you will only get your items.

tried phone number (doesn’t work)
tried order number minus last 2 (doesn’t work)
tried ups mychoice (doesn’t work)
