I ordered 5 minutes after store opened, Sep 21 delivery, but I didn't even get charged yet.

I received my order email at 2:40 CST - I fell asleep trying to stay up but magically woke up a half hour into preorders.

I have a Sept 21 delivery date but still have not been charged, am in the processing stage and don’t have any shipping data popping up in FedEx or UPS.

Holding Strong haha

I'm not worried they won't ship on time, I've never had that problem. Its the stupid security check on the CC that I've been hit with a few times in the past. Then you have to go through all the BS of getting it cleared. Once it hits the card OK, then I don't care...

It may change today. I ordered at 12:06am PST (App Store wouldn’t load until then). So 5 minutes after preorders started. As long as your 9/21 date holds the change will come through soon :)

Also with the Hermes watch (nice btw!) I would imagine less people are shooting for these than the other model options. So you have some leeway with your pre order time to still get on launch day. Which is good for you :D.

Can a mod tag this at the top please?

Yes please!
 
If it’s close enough by, I’d say go for it.
That was what I was going to do for the X last year but my ship date ended up getting bumped up.

I called the store today to figure out when to lineup as it's in a mall. They said people aren't as into the watch as the phone so it should be fine. I think they underestimate the new watch this year!
 
Stainless steel S4 space black - 9.28 - 10.3 estimated delivery. Hoping it slips forward this week.

If not, when I do my in-store pickup for my Xs, I will see if they have any to sell and will either sell mine when it comes in or return it.

If yours slips, then my October 12 - 19 may slip forward as well to hold your current spot. I have Gold SS Gold Milanese. Keep me posted!

I’m also keeping an eye on istock. If one pops in store I’ll order that and cancel my other one

Will do. Just got charged the taxes for my Xs 9.21 in-store pickup. Was hoping the Apple Watch charge would follow, no such luck.
 
I ordered a Gold Aluminum 44mm Pink Sand Sport Loop on Friday at 3:09 AM EDT with promised September 21 delivery. The Apple Store flipped to Preparing for Shipment early yesterday afternoon, and it now shows up on UPS as "Order Processed; Ready for UPS". The shipment is coming from Suzhou, China to Cincinnati, Ohio.

I had a similar experience two years ago with my launch day order of a Gold Aluminum 42mm Series 2. It showed up on UPS coming from China and was almost to Cincinnati (via Alaska and Tennessee) before the status on the Apple Store changed. And I received it on launch Friday.

I was on a cruise off the coast of British Columbia with just good enough wifi to get an order to go through.
The website didn't even show until about 12-13 minutes after midnight.
I picked the 40mm stainless with white band for my wife and a 44mm stainless with white band for myself as we have other bands.
Her 40mm shows delivery on launch day the 21st but my 44mm shows an Oct 5th-12th delivery.

Hoping for an early shipment but I'm ok an grateful I was able to even get them.

Waiting for mine to show up in the UPS My Choice portal...

I’m still “processing” with nothing showing in my UPS My Choice. HOWEVER, I did the trick above and found my watch by searching for

1. Go to UPS.com
2. Click on Tracking Header Link
3. Select Track and Tracking History (from drop down)
4. Locate the Track Packages & Freight Tab
5. (Do not Track by Number) Select “Track By Reference”
6. Input your order number - kind of - remove the letter in front and the last two digits. EX: “W123456789” -> “1234567”
7. A full blown tracking number will appear in the results field (center & right of page) along with a status of the tracking number if it found your reference number
8. Click on the tracking number
9. Hur-Ray!

This page shows my watch with a final destination in Missouri with a delivery date of Wednesday - I assume this is a central staging area of some sort before it makes its way to Minnesota for Friday delivery.

Other fun note - that tracking number now shows up in my UPS App and states it originated from Corona, CA USA.

Sad: I am missing all the Friday, shipping fun.

Happy: I got a Nike version over a regular version.
