UPS Shipping Notification?

Is it possible you ordered a separate band? I just realized there is no need for those to be sent from China. Possibly they come a different way. Oops, those better not be > 1 lb.
I did a few posts back.

No extra bands for me. Just the black fluoroelastomer that comes with it.
I suppose that's understandable. Here's what I got (personal stuff blurred obviously).
1.6 pounds seems too heavy to be the
Watch. If I remember correctly my Iphone 6 shipping weight was less than a pound.1.6 pounds seems too heavy to be the
I just looked up my old tracking number for my iPhone 6. It was .88 pounds so yes, definitely lighter. I believe the apple watch is going to be packaged in a larger box that has a heavy jewelry style box inside of it. Maybe that's the extra weight? Probably not. Just a thought..
No need to be so rude. I made a statement based on my experiences and what I have read in forums over the years. If you can't respond without being insulting then don't respond at all.
If that isn't the watch I wonder what it is. To have two people receive the same notification around the same time from the same place here is strange. Unless you both funded the same kickstarter project or something.
That's the only other thing I could think it could be. There are a lot of kickstarters coming to their end currently that I backed (Double Fine Adventure, Armikrog, Massive Chalice, Kung Fury, etc). It could also be something completely different. I once received a package in the mail from Sony that contained a Ghostbusters hat that I won in a contest I forgot I entered.
i think i read someone order pebble also and they are not shipping till may anyway. it too early for it since it shows 4/23 on there tracking

1.6 pounds actually sounds pretty right. The watch actually weighs more, does it not? And then there is the band, the box and the accessories. The charging cable probably weighs more than a lightning cable as well.
can they even get a signature for surepost? USPS is just going to leave it in the mailbox..... i can't imagine appe is prepared to send a minimum $349 watch via surepost....
i'm going to be SHOCKED (yes, with all caps) if it turns out this is a watch.

hmmmmm just thought, but the weight doesn't match.... did you order applecare?
perhaps they've decided to send that surepost?

Let's hope not... I cannot stand surepost. I've had over 10 packages to get lost in the past 3 years because of the USPS getting their hands on it.
I would be shocked if the shipping weight is that heavy for the watch though, the iPhone is much heavier.
April 23 is their "estimate". This is just an initial shipping notification. An intent to ship. It hasn't reached UPS' infrastructure yet. Once it does, I'm sure that will change.
As soon as I get more tracking information... I'll post it. I'm sure by that time, if it IS the watch, those of you who are getting yours next week will have already been charged and received an email from Apple.
OP needs to take a picture of whatever he receives on the 23rd.
I'm pretty sure it's not the watch. Apple doesn't ship new products this soon.

I have to admit, all this baseless, naive optimism for an early delivery is putting a smile on my face.
But, you must know it isn't happening.
