Where were these ordered from? I'd be extremely surprised if you actually got them before Friday, and if you did, FedEx would be facing some hefty fines for breaking contract with Apple by delivering before launch date.

Ordered from AT&T when they started pre-orders on the 9th. Still shows out for delivery, so nothing yet. I also have a 3rd on a separate order that has not shipped yet.

I believe AT&T Apple watches are coming from FEDEX. Also, was it already on the stateside, or did you have to track it from China?

I always thought FedEx tracking was kinda screwy, especially near the time the tracking number was issued.
I've ordered various things and when the shipping email came it seems FedEx always said it would arrive much earlier than thought. Then a day later would adjust to the actual day.

When did your tracking start?

Received the shipping notice last night.

And yeah, I think AT&T shipping is pretty screwy. I've had iPhones in prior years that were delivered before the order ever showed that it shipped.

I expect you will see a notification or note on tracking tonight that the delivery date has been updated and that it will arrive on the 23rd

ETA: things like what you are seeing is the reason Apple waits to update their status to shipped...to avoid confusion and wonderment by the "normal non-tracking people" :) as to why their phones/watches/iWhatevers are sitting in a depot waiting to be delivered
 
Those of us whose watches are still in Louisville watch other open their’s like Xmas day:

Yeah... Looks like we are stuck waiting till Friday. Since AT&T and FedEx released the AW Ultra, Apple needs to get in touch with UPS and have them shipped out from Louisville, Kentucky right away. That's only fair.
