Ordered the day of the event. Had the pending charge at first, and it went away. My guess like in previous years is I will get charged when it's ready to ship.
Got a tip for us?

Whoop Whoop... 🙌 I saw 2 people on this thread that have been charged and are in the "Preparing to Ship" stage. Hope we're next!
So, after hemming and hawing and watching reviews, I just cancelled this order, and ordered an AW ultra with the Starlight Alpine Loop for delivery 9/23. I figure if I don't like it, I can return and go back to this one. I just wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't try it! 😅
Woo hoo! congratulations. Apple Watch Ultra is something else man. It's a big watch.
The reason why I'm not getting the Apple Watch Ultra just kind of too big since I kind of have small wrists and I kind of don't like the bands for it.
So that is why I'm just getting the Apple Series 8 45mm the stainless case

Nice - You must take great care of them. Congrats!
I'm coming from a 4 so there are several upgrades. I don't think there was too much new other than crash detect going from 7 to 8 though?So exciting. But remember that (I think) the last Apple Watch they released had shortened shipping times when they were actually shipped. It happens sometimes. Still, so exciting...
An aside: Was there anything that much better in the 8 to make people really want it aside from it being the 'New Hotness'? the smoke from the announcement hasn't cleared enough to figure out what, if anything could make it so popular. Oh, it's also possible that initial quantities are 'artificially lower' due to the lock downs in China. Watching shipping levels is going to be interesting, potentially.
There are websites that track container traffic, someone should check on boxes coming for Apple maybe? Obviously BTO wouldn't be included in that, but Apple could be stocking local distribution centers about now? I was waiting for a big item from Vietnam and was able to watch its progress as it frustratingly slowly made its way on that Slow Boat From China... (Its container sat in port for nearly a week before it was moved along for delivery)
I'm excited to see my watch ship.

Was going to order the Ultra today but it would arrive by Sep 23rd and I'll be out of the country until the 24th so decided to go to the Apple Store as soon my flight arrive on Sep 24th. Hopefully the band I want would be in stock.
Preparing to ship now, Series 8 GPS 45mm Silver Aluminium. (Ontario, Canada)
depending on the band you order, you can find a date upon your return no problem.
