I got the charge overnight for my 8 with a 22-29 delivery. Although I'm thinking of returning it and trying to find a deal on a 7.....

What configuration did you have? I had the same dates for my 41mm GPS, still waiting for a charge.
 
Series 8 GPS + Cellular 45mm and Series 8 GPS 41mm both in Midnight - still shown as preparing to ship. I’ve been charged for both yesterday about 10PM (UK)
 
BTW the 45 mm straps will fit but leave a gap on each side. Reminds me of the braided solo loops.

Ordered the Ultra on Sept 7 and got Oct 20 to Oct 27
That schedule has not changed today Sept 12

BUT
Apple store still shows September 23 availability on the UItra.
What am I missing?

I was able to find my tracking number shortly after ordering using the UPS website to see what deliveries are coming to my home. It seems to be sitting state-side since the label was created here vs in china like my iPhones.

This is usually dependent on the band you selected. Unfortunately Apple ships watch+band instead of separate. So the delay is in band production.

Although if you are talking about the main page with the Ultra shown (available Sept 23) that is just advertising. Actually ordering will yield different results based on band selection.
I doubt there are even any band combos that would give you Sept 23

I just recheck all 9 variations and the closest is September 29th for the yellow swim band.
 
Also band sizes matter ;)

Which is silly, I doubt Apple will ever just sell the watch (w/o) band, but it would be nice to separate them....unless you are a first time buyer of course!
 
I ordered a 41mm Series 8 for my wife. By the time I got around to ordering it Apple was already estimating late this month, but Best Buy showed (and still does) that orders through them will get here on release day!
