It appears watches coming from China factories are tracking on UPS, but that doesn't mean all watches are going via UPS.

I did. The midnight ocean band scheduled to arrive on the 23rd, still shows processing.
Mine is still processing too. It's probably already in the state side and will be shipped via overnight delivery to you.
That's what I figure as well. Might have to see about picking up an orange or starlight (or both!) Alpine loop on launch day, if stores will have them. One can't have too many watch straps.....
Once again, just enjoying watching you guys get excited over the Watches... Mine is delayed till Oct 20-27... Band choices.
Sheeeesh Not a good year for you
! that sucks man. When did you order it and which one?
Be careful and make it sure it's the UPS Customer Center. Not the Access point. If you select a UPS Access point. It will delay your shipment till Monday.
Once you submit the request online it will tell give you the 9/23 pick up date.
This... I made the mistake on my iPhone 14Pro of NOT holding it at the CC like i had on previous years. I worked half day and the GF was there for the first part to make sure we were covered at home. After a BS Follow Me saying 11:30-3:45... watching it drive by all over the neighborhood, the UPS guy never showed up until after 6:15... Total wasted day. My CC opened up at 10am and could have been there by that time no problem. So not doing that mistake again. (mind you I'm not part of the early Ultra watch waves)
I haven’t found this to be true. When I spoke with my driver, he said if you get your request in early enough they will be able to reroute it the something like a UPS store easily since the trucks are right next to each other on the loading dock. I requested a change on my iPhone 14 Pro’s and they made it to the UPS Store on release day and were ready for me to pickup at 9am instead of me needing to wait for my driver to deliver then to my house later in the day and risk missing the delivery.
ahhh thanks Ordered it right after the store opened up for orders. Ultra with the Black/grey trail loop.Sheeeesh Not a good year for you
I keep tossing the idea of just getting one of the other bands, but they are all delayed now, so maybe just try on 23rd and see what's available in store, but I'm not overly thrilled at the other band choices. I know i can use my other watches bands, but I suspect they will look a little thin compared to the case.
BTW, you are 'rockin' the avatar! Thanks for all the hard work on these Threads and Posts.🥰
Yeah, highly recommend holding it at the CC. Otherwise, you are waiting for the UPS driver all day long. Plus, it was a very busy day for them and they had a lot of deliveries to be made.
That could be true but there's a risk you take. I rather just hold it at the UPS CC and pick it up myself instead of relying on the driver to hold my package and then re-route it to a different UPS store. There's a risk involved in that.
Mine have that same time stamp. No movement since then.
Ahhh! It's the Black/Grey Trail loop that delayed your AW. If I was in your shoes I would have ordered the one that has a set/promised 9/23 delivery and then order the black/grey trail loop separately. Apple Watch Studio at Apple.com is so dumb and unreliable. The minute you try to customize your watch with a different band it delays your AW.
If it’s not expensive, I was going to replace the battery in my S4, and hand it down to my daughter.
I don't think anyone has. Hoping to hit a "Departure from Facility" later today. Could be on any of these flights.
I ordered the Alpine orange band. I originally wanted the Blue/Gray Trail Loop but it had a delivery date of 10/15-10/20, so I canceled that order and went with the Alpine orange band. I’m going to order the Blue/Gray trail loop band and just wait for it to be delivered.
Yellow - excellent choice.We don't really have alot of choices. I wish the the Ocean Band was offered in Product Red or Jet Black. See my order details above. In addition, I also ordered myself a yellow one. I'm not sure why since this will be my regular daily watch. Also, they are delayed till October now
