My amazon order has said delayed but I’ve not had any updated date since that email at 5pm. Order still shows to deliver tomorrow, but hasn’t been despatched.
Given despatches usually happen overnight I guess it’ll depend if the shipment(s) arrive in the FCs...

Just cancelled my very order and ordered from apple...delivery is 25th September at least.

I’ll do the same tomorrow if there’s no update. Amazon rep has made a note and it may get upgraded shipping, but I’m not hopeful!
Will check to see if store pickup becomes available again in the morning...
 
Grr - DPD app now says I've no parcel activity. All was looking good earlier...

Ah - looks like their website is broken as well...

...and now both the app and the website are working again. Probably lots of people checking their deliveries tomorrow ;)

Just an aluminium 40mm with white sports band for me. Would have preferred the 44mm but I have small wrists anyway and would prefer to use the existing bands I own from my Series 0!

I adore the white ceramic but I can‘t really see the benefit in paying any more than needed - not when the jump in cost is so much.

Got it from Very and it’s currently on it’s way to my local Royal Mail depot.

I've got an S2 right now so forgive the question, are you saying a 42mm S2 band or bracelet wouldn't fit a 44mm S5?

42mm bands will fit 44mm watches too

38mm bands will also fit 40mm watches

but 38/40mm bands will not fit 42/44 MM watches and vice versa

so in your case you will be fine.

I am still using the Link Bracelet I bought for my S0

Just called up Apple.

Basically anyone who ordered an item and then customised it such as a different coloured band as to the model shown on the shop could incur delivery delays.

Because I changed my sports band from black to green is exactly why it says 23-25th Sept as this is considered to be a custom order. This is the reason why i will not get it for tomorrow.

That makes sense. I preordered the 44mm Titanium model but with an Anchor Grey sport loop and showed delivery for 23-25 Sep. It did ship out today but I don’t have any tracking information yet.

Mine too.

It's updated this morning to now show tracking info. The track package link goes to DHL and shows it was last scanned in Eindhoven. I guess that's the end of any hope of delivery today.

The tracking info hasn’t been updated for awhile. Let’s see what it says today but I think you could be right here.

You are certainly right. Mine says “shipment information received ‘ in Eindhoven. Which means it is on its way from China to Eindhoven It will not be updated until it gets there.
 
Mine was shipped yesterday and it looks like it’s coming direct from China. This is probably because it’s a custom order. And it’s probably why it wasn’t available for in store pickup today even though I preordered it as soon as the preorders went live.

Yeah, I don't think it's arriving today. Oh well... 😢
 
My S5 44m black titanium is coming via UPS; clearly says will arrive 23/9 by end of day.. and tracking shows it in Korea atm. Ordered a sport band too; that’s coming by DPD today.. got my hopes up for a second when I got the notification 😂 D’oh!

So at the Bromley Apple store and there’s no titanium or ceramic watches in stock. Have all the others pretty much.

They should have them on display though so will take a look
