Following in the footsteps of Best Buy, Target has emailed customers that pre-ordered the Apple Watch Series 2 today to inform them that orders may not be delivered by the original date promised upon checkout.

Target said it is experiencing delays in receiving Apple Watch Series 2 models from Apple, adding that it will expedite all orders as inventory becomes available to get customers their new Apple Watches as soon as possible.

No updated date was provided for when orders will begin. Target will be emailing a complimentary $50 gift card to affected customers in the next 24 hours to help assuage any inconvenience or frustration the delay may have caused.

Apple Watch Series 2 launched today in the U.S. and select other countries, including pre-order deliveries and limited in-store availability at Apple and authorized resellers. The second-generation models feature improved water resistance up to 50 meters, a built-in GPS, a two-times brighter display, and a faster dual-core S2 chip.

Ordered on 9/15 with express delivery for 9/16. Order got delayed as for everyone else, BUT until now I have not received the email with the 50 USD gift card. Anyone else has seen the same? I have called target, they say that the gift card will only be mailed when the item is processed - means the watch gets shipped, I assume. So did somebody actually get the gift card with email like mentioned in this post within 24 hours of the announced delay email?

Most people here got it before they were even told why. They may have changed their policy to keep people from using the gift card and canceling their order. Or they're lying to you. Unfortunately no way to tell for sure.
