Yep, mine is pushed to 10/20-27… cause of the trail band. Sheesh Tim Cook! How could the band delay the Ultra watch so much!
A cynical person might think they always knew the trail loop would be most popular, so they intentionally delayed supply just to sell an extra $100 band to everyone that didn’t want to wait a month plus to get the Ultra. 😁

Best bet is to try daily for store pickup.
There might be a site out there that scrapes inventory to tell you what is available. Probably not for the 23rd though.

So I decided to cancel my order for the 41mm 8 which was to ship 10/31 and went to the 45mm to ship tomorrow. I’m sad because I will def need new watch bands but I really intend to keep this one longer!

The Apple Watch Movement

Once our orders move to process we should start seeing some movement to 'Preparing For Shipment' over the weekend. This usually happens Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon (PST time).

Once this happens you should be able to get details on your phone and let the tracking begin!

Here are some notes to help track orders:

If your Apple Watch status has changed to "Shipped", you can view the invoice on the Apple site.

That invoice has the serial number on it.

Go to Apple.com, then pick the ORDERS page (the little "shopping bag" icon at the far right on the homepage... go to your orders page). Now, log in, find your Apple Watch order... and click on Print All Invoices to see your shiny new Apple Watch serial number.

Link to track your Apple Watch via UPS:

https://www.ups.com/track?loc=en_US&requester=ST/

Tracking | UPS - United States (Only)​

Track one or multiple packages with UPS Tracking, use your tracking number to track the status of your package.
www.ups.com

Detailed Tracking

Another way to find it, enter your phone number + zip:

Track your UPS shipments here using your reference number

If your phone number isn’t working for UPS tracking, use your order number but subtract the last two numbers/letters. Say your order number is: W123456789, you'd put in: W1234567 - make sure to use the tracking by reference feature.

Good luck and All the Best!!!

Are you planning on upgrading your Apple Watch? If so, which one?

What do you think about the new Apple Watch Apple introduced, today?
OMG, I haven't even finished getting my iPhone 14 Pro Max in the pre-order/delivery thread (here you've kept everyone sane) and I pop over here and... you're here, too! I already feel reassured, safe, and ready to ride out the next week of UPS tracking updates and missing planes!! Yay!

When does Apple update store inventory so you can potentially place an order for store pickup?
Usually early in the morning.

But it’s worth noting that last time I bought in-store on launch day, they had separate stock for walk-ins which did not appear as inventory on the site. This lasted the whole weekend. So if you check online and it says they don’t have it, that might not be accurate. Best bet is to go in person.

What's the difference between Space Black and Graphite? Is one of these a typo? The 'Compare' page only shows Graphite for a dark Stainless Steel, but the shop lists both Graphite and Space Black options. They look identical.

Mine left China yesterday and says it'll arrive on the 22nd, but I'm hoping it'll come early. Does anyone know how long it takes to get from China to the UK?
It is tough to get a fixed shipping time from China. It all depends on how long it sits in customs. The last time I did this we had them stuck a while and suddenly hundreds of posts from people who got cleared all at once.

Lol was gonna try to see if there was in-store pickup availability this morning online, turns out my watch just went to ‘prepared for shipment’. Guess I’m waiting it out, have 21st - 28th dates.

Anyone know how long it typically stays in that status for?
