So I didn't preorder, I ordered on October 30th. It shipped this Monday, and since then UPS has been doing what UPS does.

On Monday, it was estimated to arrive on Thursday the 15th (today).
On Tuesday it said delivery date unknown, then later delayed due to a mechanical failure.
On Wednesday it said delivery on Thursday the 15th again, but it left Incheon late last night so I figured there's no way it'll get here in time for a Thursday delivery. Planes just don't fly fast enough.
Today, Thursday, it says "A mechanical failure has caused a delay" again and there's no estimate.

So two mechanical failures, or are they still quoting the first one as the reason for the delay? And I would figure that UPS should know how long it takes them to get a package from one place to another, yet they were still showing an impossible delivery date late last night.

Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow. No hurry other than my excitement for my first Apple Watch. Just amazed how bad the UPS tracking is.

I sure hope you get it today! That’s crazy! I ordered mine on 11/7 to be picked up in the store. It said 11/29 but now is saying 11/21 a whole week earlier. But we will see what happens.

At least it has arrived in Europe which means they should be able to have it on a delivery truck in Sweden tomorrow morning :) So excited! :apple:
 
Must be whatever model you chose. I ordered a Nike 11/9 and got it 11/10. Wasn't supposed to ship until 11/15, guess I got lucky. Hope yours comes soon!
The stainless steel models are super hard to come by. They seem to be the ones that are taking the longest

Oh weird. They had the silver and gold at my local Best Buy when I went to try and get the Nike (which they were sold out of). Must have just been lucky timing.

yeah i got the nike one within 10 days but the stainless steel is still back ordered!
 
Okay I ordered my Series 4 SS gold 44mm last week from Verizon. The guy said I wouldn't get it until closer to Christmas or maybe even after the new year. He said Verizon wouldn't take payment until it shipped which was showing sometime around December 21st.

Well a few days ago the payment posted but the Verizon app was saying that it was processing and would ship 12/21. Well I just checked the Verizon app again a few minutes ago and it still said the same thing. A few seconds later I got a notification saying my order has shipped and I would receive it November 23!!! WTH! I cannot believe it! I'm so freaking excited!!! I hope I really get it on Friday!
 
Update:

After a month of waiting my SS 44 Gold has shipped from Verizon! I should be getting mine on the 26 but hoping I get it sooner. It’s shipping through UPS and I’ve never had pleasant experience with them so we’ll see....

I ordered mine SS 44 Gold with T-mobile on September 25th and finally today it shipped and will be here in Houston on November 23rd.
 
Dang. I was so hoping to get my Series 4 SS gold 44mm this Friday since I'm off work and Verizon says I'll get it then but UPS tracking says Monday when I'm at work!

I was told Monday as well but when I was tracking my package it's only a couple of hours away so I might get it tomorrow.

Well mine is not coming today. This sucks. I was so excited lol. It's still saying Monday instead of Verizon's estimated arrival of today.
 
Well. I’m finally getting my watch today! I ordered my watch 10/16 and I’m now getting it 11/24. So for anyone wanting to get an estimate for when they’ll get their SS 44 Gold Apple Watch. Expect to wait about a month. I don’t think I’ve ever waited this long for a product. But I’m excited to finally get my hands on it!
 
My space black was ordered on nov 16th for pickup on dec 10th. Got email it was ready yesterday. Was so excited to get it 2weeks earlier.
 
Ordered Nov. 25th...Apple est. time of arrival, Dec 10th-17th, Fed Ex says November 30th. Nike space gray 44mm! Now if it will only arrive before I go to work.
 
Same here.

Ordered my SBSS 44mm with Sportband on Oct. 18 through Gravis (German Apple Reseller).
I monitored iStockNow over the last weeks, and there ist nothing in stock at all. At least in Europe or Germany.

Seems to be a huge demand of SS AppleWatches this year.

Did you get your Watch? I ordered a SS Space Black from cyberport.de on Oct 24 and they constantly keep pushing back the shipping date. Now it’s at 28.12. !! I’m confused how the Space black is in stock in almost whole of Europe except Germany.
