I suspect anyone without shipping now has it coming from regional hub / partner (like syncreon in UK). Even when it comes via DHL in Europe to UK, I saw "shipped", its just the tracking didn't work until the bulk ship hit the main hub at eindhoven and was split into individual orders.
The jump on delivery dates from 22nd right to October also hints that further models are coming by that low carbon route to regional hubs of some sort.

I also think sadly, that with Apple taking this approach this year of shipping so much for the same day, that we should prepare for some of us to be disappointed when it doesn't go perfect.

Mine is still preparing for shipment. Still isn’t on the UPS app.

Where is yours? Are they shipping from the United States?

I got a nice surprise email from Verizon today that my Ultra 2 watch has "shipped". My original anticipated ship date was October 13th. I do have a UPS tracking number that has an Origin Scan in West Chester, PA at 9:44 AM on 9/19/2023. It has a scheduled delivery date of Friday 9/22/2023 as expected with UPS Next Day Air Saver service level so I doubt anything will change in the tracking until Thursday sometime.

I got a delivery date or 3rd October online but when I placed order it’s saying 13th to 17th October? It was letting me pick up yesterday but not today? Anybody else expecting to wait that long for the SE or Series 9?

Just had DHL Express notification that my watch has been shipped (No.66 Liuhe Road, China).
Apple Store still says 23-27 Sept.

UK Order (Midnight 45mm)

Well that destroys my thought that non-launch day watches would have a wait due to zero shipping.

I have received a DHL Express shipping notification that my Apple Watch SS Graphite is shipping from China to the UK. Tracking shows scheduled delivery date not available. Though the Apple Store still shows preparing to ship with a delivery of the 23rd to 27th September

I think more detail comes up once it arrives in Eindhoven (the Europe hub) and the bulk delivery from china is split out.

Mine is still preparing for shipment also.
For Europe I think they come from Amsterdam, so they should be there by now and we'll receive the tracking number once it leaves Amsterdam.

Do you have already a tracking number?

No Edgar. Mine is still preparing for shipping according to apples website. The phone has shipped. Well I shouldn’t say that. Something is coming from apple and it’s in china. It could be the watch or it could be the phone. I dunno.

Came here to write the same: no news about any shipment here yet.

I am afraid the Apple Store will soon ban me for refreshing the status page every so often.

Mine is still “processing,” but still shows at 9/22 delivery date.

Edit: I really hope it makes it on 9/22 because I’m away for work for a week starting 9/23.
