hey dude did you order from Apple or from a carrier? i ordered from Apple and just wanted to ask if you know who will be doing deliveries this year? tried UPS/Parcel Force/DPD/Royal Mail with my order number that apple gave, but says nothing found on all carriers websites.
Apple don't deal with the carriers but with syncreon who are the logistics company. They will use which ever courier the sub con too. Could be ups or uk mail based previous years
 
...I thought I'd be able to just tap the watch without actually loading anything

if you are talking about apple pay on the watch?

you double click the favourite button on the side as mentioned... now if you only have one card in the Apple Watch Wallet then you just hold up the watch to the electronic point of sale unit .... IF you have multiple cards on the watch then the default card (which you can select) is presented first with the double click and you can just use that as if you only have one card... but at this point with multiple cards you can scroll away from the default card and select a different one to use.

so using the default or only card is double click and hold the watch up to the machine.... very quick and easy.

When your order moves to shipped the order page will have a hyperlinked tracking number that you can follow. Not before.

thanks, because last year i got my tracking number for my 6 few days before so was wondering why i didn't get mine yet, currently says preparing for dispatch so should be in the UK in a few days, glad i ordered within the first 5 mins of pre-orders being available.

My watch gave nothing until it shipped. Difficult as it is, just check once or twice a day and it will appear soon enough. You'll more than likely notice a massive uproar on this thread, there is a tendency for lots and lots of people to get their updates at the same time.
 
I just tried pressing the buttons, your right. It's not too bad at all :)
Yeah, nice and quick and more secure that just holding the watch up to the epos... You have to initiate the payment.

Takes longer to explain to the sales person that you want to use Apple Pay ... Then explain that it is on your watch / phone.

Ordered 6s Plus Silver on Pre-launch day and my estimated delivery date is currently showing 15/10 - 22/10

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
 
Just checked my O2 order page and I have tracking info! Being delivered by DPD and says it's been dispatched today!
Wonder if I'll get it early?
:)
Is that on the order details page? All I have is "In progress". Which model have you gone for out of interest?
 
Can anyone who is in the Uxbridge/Ickenham/Ruislip, Middx area tell me who the courier has been in the past. I've only just moved here so have no idea. Hopefully not UPS though, as they don't arrive until after 6pm unless it is an express delivery.

I ordered direct from Apple. Last year it came via UPS. But I think that a lot depends where you live. I live in Derbyshire.
To track it you need the tracking number that will come with the e-mail that Apple will send when the phone is dispatched
 
Anyone in the UK had shipment notification yet?

If they are in the UK and being shipped from the UK, I would not expect to start seeing shipment notifications until Thursday.

The US see earlier notifications due to size of the country and size of the market... more complicated logistics to ensure they all get there on launch day.

Reading this thread makes me regret cancelling my pre-order for a reservation. Reservations have no updates :(

My office is only open certain hours and Apple delivery to business premises hours mean I could miss it and that is definitely not happening!! I have a lunchtime reservation for a 6s 64gb space grey, upgrading from a 5s.

Look at the positives. You have a firm time to go with. The rest of us will be paranoid that every loud engine sound might be a delivery van outside or that they will come at an inopportune moment!
