I had no intention of getting the Ultra until yesterday... Ordered one for in store pickup this morning in Alpine Orange🤦♂️ Plenty of Ocean and Alpine available today, no trail loops. Alpine Orange seems to be the first one running out for pickup today.
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

Will be interesting to see the value that the Ultra retains compared to the Edition models.
Using one of the various by back sites a Ti Edition model gets about $40 ($205) more than an aluminum S7. So the Ti/SS ones didn't hold any of their value above a Al model.
What the H.
My Package just changed from Out For Delivery to Preparing for Delivery and there is a message that says:
"Your package has arrived at a local UPS location and is still being processed for delivery.
If you prefer to pick up your package at an eligible facility, select Delivery Options to make arrangements."
Should I be worried? It still says it's going to be delivered today.

As many have said, seems to be pretty good stock at Apple Stores today, so hopefully some of you still waiting can snag one in person. Mine's waiting for me at my local UPS CC and I'll be screaming over there after a meeting. I was able to snag a Starlight Alpine loop for pick up too, so good times!
It was a fun and wild ride everyone!

Follow my Delivery isn't an option today for some reason. Shucks. I enjoy that feature.
I’ve noticed that it shows up when the truck is in your area.
It should show up when the Truck is en route then you can follow it along.
My Ultra is ready for pick-up. I can’t wait.
I've always wonder if Apple knows that there's a group a crazy people tracking planes and trucks, and sometimes chasing the UPS guy, trying to track their Apple devices HAHAHA
I would wait before doing anything. Before mine was out for delivery, the status changed to Rescheduled Delivery. Delivery date never changed tho, but I freak out for a minute.
Thanks! Yeah it went back out for delivery about a half hour later.
Follow delivery is working for airpodspro but not applewatchultra, who knows why
If anyone has successfully transferred their AT&T phone service to their new Ultra from Apple Watch Series 7, could you please tell me what process you used?
I’ve read that I’ll need to either:
1. Remove the series 7, and the phone service, and then add the Ultra.
2. Just set-up the Ultra as a second watch, transfer the phone service to it, and then remove the series 7.
I’d really just like to know which one works without having to call AT&T if possible.

The Ocean bands are not popular at all, but they are the only band to have an extension to 250mm. My wrist measures 216mm and the only band I can wear is the sport band at the last hole and I have to stretch it to do that. It's a bit tight around my wrist. I find out today that there is a sport band that Apple sells with an Extra Large size that goes to 245mm, but it's in Midnight only. They also make an extra large sport loop in midnight.

I think last year S6->S7 #2 seemed like the path I took, it seemed pretty seamless, IIRC.
From apple:
Transfer your cellular plan to a new Apple Watch
When you’re ready to start using a new Apple Watch, you can transfer cellular service from your old watch to your new one. Here’s how:- Remove the cellular plan from your old Apple Watch. You can do this from the Apple Watch app or by erasing your old Apple Watch.
- Pair your new Apple Watch with your iPhone. During setup, tap “Set up Cellular” to add a cellular plan.
- Some carriers allow you to transfer your existing plan to your new Apple Watch directly from the Apple Watch app.
- If you don’t see an option to transfer your cellular plan, contact your carrier for help.
I spoke with the lady in Aberdeen store, she said loads of Ultras had arrived
Still waiting for my husband's Ultra to go Out for Delivery, but in the meantime, I broke down and hopped onto the Apple app and ordered another one for myself to be delivered by courier today between 11a-1p. 
His is the green Alpine band, and I got the white Ocean.

Well I got it and feel indifferent.
I definitely like the larger battery capacity and we do hike at least twice a month so more accurate GPS and the ability to communicate via sat is a plus; or more accurately an edge case justification to keep it: )
But I do wish the screen itself was larger. It is marginally larger than the current 45mm watch.
So I'm not sure....I'll give it the weekend.

One thing I will say, the photos I've seen online make the orange action button stand out quite a bit.
I found it very muted IRL. Which I think is a plus as I like to wear the crown inward.
Although I do like the color orange, thus the orange loop band.
