South Australia- Apple Watch Ultra Green Alpine and Air Pods Pro both changed to Preparing to Ship this morning. Now we need to see if they are coming from China or whether they are sitting in a warehouse in Sydney. If we get a shipped notification today then we know they’re coming from China.

Anyone notice you can’t order the watch 8, either aluminum or sterling silver with cellular for pickup at Apple stores? At least in Canada, I can find aluminum gps only in a few stores.

Just wondering if this is a global issue with the cellular chip in the watch 8’s.

Logged into UPS and got my tracking number. I don’t know what wave I’m in.

I see the aluminum available for pick up but not the SS.. I would have thought there would be plenty in stock since all the hype is for the new phone

You’re in the first wave. My wave left Jiaxing after you at 2350. Didn’t get the Arrival scan in Shanghai yet, even though it should be a 20min trip or less. I think it just got late into the shift so hope an arrival scan comes tonight or tomorrow.

So I’m wondering if we will see an early shipment for those who ordered the AWU trail loop, it seems like there are more who had different loops getting sooner, maybe Apple can catch up and get other batches of the trail loop AWU out earlier

Ordered AWU on the 18th, delivery Oct 13-20, no movement yet. If it doesn't move by launch, I may try a pickup option at the local Apple Store.

Seeing a lot of this with the 41mm as I said earlier in the thread. It's bizarre, it's like there was virtually no production on the 41mm. It's also been unavailable to pickup at Apple Retail Stores....I have been monitoring mine (Minneapolis stores) and they have plenty of 45mm but none have gotten 41mm (even on launch day) and a quick scan of NYC/Cali has shown the same "Unavailable for store pickup" message. Very curious.

Mine says Delivery 26th September, but I do expect it in launch day. My IPhone also had delivery on 19th but I got it on Friday. My watch has been charged and is preparing to ship.
That’s wild ..never happens to me. What was your awu actual dd?

Anyone with not a launch day delivery for AWU seeing any movement. I am hoping that we might get bumped up.
So far one of my watches got bumped up to a Sept 23-30 with no shipping available so far and the other is still at Oct 7-14. The first one is a 44mm SS and the later one is a 41mm SS. After my husbands current watch face got all scratched and mine looks like new I convinced him to upgrade to the SS for the better glass face.

Wow so that’s the first wave for the phone and watch. This was my lucky year.
