Same here. I ordered a 42mm Jet Black Aluminum Case with Slate ML on Tuesday morning with a 9/20 delivery date also. My card has also been charged but still nothing in UPS My Choice yet either. I believe everyone that has a tracking number in My Choice so far has said that it’s being sent from a DC in Clayton Indiana.
Got a tip for us?

I also ordered right after the event but nothing was charged on my GS Apple card till about an hour ago. It was for the full amount as I expected even though I do have a trade. I ordered the same exact watch as you and suspect they are all statewide and being shipped to the stores possibly tomorrow which is why my card was just charged. I had heard after the fact last year that the stores inventory was all received on Wednesday.
My Hermes S10 is preparing to ship from Indiana according to UPS.
Not gonna move til it needs to. All depends on where the stock sits. Pallets sitting in China will move sooner than those sitting in Memphis or other in-country delivery warehouse
Got cold feet and might keep my Ultra. I think 46mm S10 looks big in the hands-on videos and barely changed from S4-9. Part of me wanted to upgrade to get away from Ultra, which I find a little big.
If I were getting S10, I feel like I’d have to put my band collection away and switch to the smaller 42mm band for the first time (I’ve always had bigger size of AW). The 46mm and larger screen has really made the design look more like a large screen than any past AW model, and it’s not a look I like.
I might cancel my S10 46mm and I don’t think I feel like switching to 42mm because my bands aren’t that size. And since 46mm won’t be great case size reduction over Ultra, I’m not as enticed to keep that 46mm just to hang onto the bands in that case.

I only ordered a Hermes band from Apple, early on the first day of ordering. The Apple quoted delivery date (to my house) is this Friday the 20th. So far it's still listed as "Processing", and my card hasn't been charged.
I guess the status should change between now and Wednesday? Do these usually ship via UPS?

I just preordered my Apple Watch 10 yesterday with a Friday delivery. Nothing in UPS My Choice yet (except for my iPhone 16 Pro). Are others seeing their watches' tracking info yet? Wasn't sure since I didn't preorder right away last week.
Nope. Same for me. Ordered right after the event for a 9/20 delivery and the only thing that I see in My Choice is the 2 iPhone 16 Pro's coming to my address even though I’m in the Preparing to Ship status on Apple.
Apple will overnight if they have to. I've had plenty of launch day phones and Watches ship 1 or 2 day air.
Yes, and in in the past I've seen them stage a bunch of stock at/near the Memphis Fedex hub to go out for launch day deliveries.
At this point I lost hope in a Friday delivery. I ordered within 2 minutes of the pre-order going live yet the delivery date was already set to the 23rd. I had hopes for a delivery on Friday but UPS is so slow here they need 2-3 days to deliver. If it doesn't ship on Tuesday there is absolutely no way it can possibly arrive this week.
The last watch I had delivered on launch day they never attempted delivery and circled the thing around some hub until I called Apple and UPS finally delivered a day later.
Basically Apple would have to account for at least 1 day worth of delay with UPS but god forbid anyone were to accidentally received the product a day early. Wasn't an issue when I lived in a city but now out in nowhere it doesn't matter if Apple overnights it or whatever they do, there's one courier for the region and half the time he's got too many packages to make it up my road and the date gets pushed by at least a day.

Ended up just doing a Best Buy preorder because their offer for my trade in of my series 8 was 50 dollars more than Apple. Still available for release day in store pickup but sadly it’s just the basic black sport band. I guess I can get a different band later. I already have a lot from over the years though and my current black sport band is pretty beat up
didnt see the keynote so missed the fact apple came out with the black ultra. the next day i went to apple and saw it was a month out. this past friday after i ordered the black 16pm, i decided to check local stores here in la and boom goes the dynamite, i found a store ( different from the store ill be pickin' up the phone) that had a launch day black ultra with the milanese loop ( whatever its called). the 365 trade in from apple is going to be much better than next year when the ultra 3 is launched, so went ahead and made the deal. will be cool to have an all black mbp, ipad pro, phone and watch... 🚬 ♨️

I ordered a 46mm titanium natural S10 a few days after launch, and got a delivery date of second week of October, no in store pickup available. But I just checked again today, and they have it available for pickup at my local Apple store on the 20th! So I’ve cancelled my first order, and I’ll be getting my watch on Friday. It pays to keep checking, in store pickup availability can change.
