apple's confirmation email says it will arrive June 3rd, while ups say by the end of the day Monday. y u always tryna make me wait longer apple -_-

sms shipment notifications enabled, goodnight everyone! it's been fun.

Hummm. Just checked for the email, and sure enough mine also says June 3rd.

Express Saver is supposed to be one to two business days, so that kind of points to the 1st. We'll know soon enough. From what I can find, it should leave early this morning (PDT) via UPS 81 out of ZSPD (Shanghai Pudong) for PANC. Leaving China this morning puts it in AK in the afternoon, so there's plenty of time to get to either KONT or KSDF, depending on where you are. There are flights over the weekend too. Just rationalizing a Monday arrival. ;)
 
Pfs

My xx:10:42 SSSB went PFS. My bank is ghetto but I have been charged. Looks like the orders after 7 minutes tapered off if I am PFS at most 11 minutes. I expect this thread will be dead in a week.

I was going to get a moving truck for Monday, glad I didn't. I'd hate to be driving cross country and have the watch show up at an empty house.
 
Just woke up and saw an email from apple. checked tracking and it says Monday. I was a little peeved until I saw it was coming from China. Then I didn't care so much. I have a request for it to be held already.

Weekend must go by faster!
 
Hopefully someone can answer my question.
I did not purchase the apple care. How can I still get apple care ?
Or am I out of luck?

The easiest way for you to purchase AC+ is as soon as the watch is added to your support profile (shortly after your status changes to SHIPPED).

Keep an eye on it here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/

Give them a call once you have the serial number. That way (ordering before you receive it), no inspection appointment at an Apple Store will be required.
 
Wow! Big night! 3 x :13's - the latest was :13:25, a bunch of :08's-:11's.

Friggin AWESOME!! :)

Let's have some :14's and up today!! :)

Yes Chulan, these are ALL US orders. We haven't had anyone report outside of the US for this batch. They needed to catch up, remember? (we had that :13 in France)

That only helps us (outside the US) - the bulk of the orders will be in the US (and maybe China). Wish the Chinese frequented this site (our English-only rule I'm sure keeps most away). Someone needs to build a translator into the board software. :)

Canada was at xx:08, I hope they start to catch up today.

I wonder if they had a similar number get processed as last night, how much further along the clock would get today. (we know it's front ended). By far, most people would have ordered in the first 10-15 minutes - those that stayed up that is. :)

If we get a similarly sized batch for the outside-the-US crowd, I think it would likely polish off the first hour! :)
 
I'm a little sad that a whole lot of us had movement today but I don't have a tracking number. The unfortunate timing is such that I have to plan around the watch. I need tracking info damnit so I can reserve a moving truck.

Any useful :apple:Watch apps for my move?

It's coming from China - you'll likely get it Monday. When were you planning on moving? It won't be the weekend - it sounds like Apple is using "Express Saver" for these - it's not eligible for Saturday delivery.

I was planning to get a truck Monday and head out Tuesday but the leasing agent is annoyingly slow and uncommunicative so I could perhaps be here an extra week. Either way I can push the move in date, it's just strange that some folks have tracking who went PFS but I don't. I have MyChoice so I must have missed the Monday delivery by hours.

Usually you don't get any real detail information until your status changes to SHIPPED anyways.

If you want to see if UPS has a tracking number in their system for you yet, do a reference search using the phone number you have on your apple store profile. Make sure you fill in the destination country. (on the tracking tab on your UPS)
 
Interesting tidbits from my serial number:

Looks like mine was built week 21 (May), which was this last week!
Don't know which factory "FH" is.


Tracking has now moved to:

Shanghai, China 05/29/2015 7:17 P.M. Export Scan

Next up should be a departure scan from there around 9:30PM their time ('bout an hour and a half from now).
 
Got Charged!

Order: 42 MM SSSB XX:08:56 April 10

I tried tracking by reference. But with UPS MyChoice I do t think there is a point.

Yeah - went looking for FH before. We know the primary manufacturer of the watches is Quanta. (there were some rumblings about getting Foxconn queued up to do some, but I think that was just the rumour mill).

Have any of the watches had a different factory identifier? (if Quanta has two factories producing them now, that could be why we're seeing so much progress of late).

heh. My MyChoice didn't show the charging cable I have coming today until I did my tracking with it signed on. Now, maybe it would have clued in later, but it hadn't.

I'll track it by reference later then. For now I need sleep
