⌚️ 🌎 Apple Watch 2023, Apple Watch Ultra 2 /Series 9/SE, Pre-Orders/Order Status/Delivery Status/*Shipped* Thread (U.S.A./Worldwide) 🌏 ⌚️
My wife was so impressed with my Ultra 2 on Friday that she wanted one. Hers should be coming this week. She is upgrading from the S6.
I picked up my pre-ordered watch from an Apple Store on Friday. The box shipped yesterday and will be arriving tomorrow (Tuesday).
Did you end up getting delivery on Friday? Mine got delivered this morning around 10:30am.
My Ultra 2 arrived this afternoon, a day earlier than expected. First impression: so glad I didn’t chicken out thinking it was too big. It’s very comfortable and I can’t wait to forget about my battery anxiety!
My Ultra 2 got delivered this morning. I was worried about the weight but after putting it on, it doesn't feel any heavier than my series 7 aluminum 45mm. What strap did you get? I went with Trail Loop light gray. Looks solid.
Mine’s a bit of a change from the 41mm series 4, but really light even on my 14.5cm/5.7” wrists. I went with the ocean band partly because I worried about the lugs of the other designs making the watch appear excessively wide on my wrist. But now that I have it and have used it for a few hours I’m not worried any more, and will be picking up some other bands when I get a chance.
How are you liking the Trail Loop? The light grey looks really good, such a nice match for the watch.
I've always worn either sport loop or Nike sport loop, so I had to go with the trail loop. Glad I did because its super soft and comfortable and can be precisely sized. I'm happy with it and will likely pick up the black/blue one as well. I am curious about the ocean band though. I wish the official Ultra bands weren't $100. If they were $50 I'd pick up several.
Agree completely. Here the bands cost equivalent to $119, as if they weren’t already costly enough. I found a gently used Trail Loop for less than half price which I’ll be getting, and I’ll also look for a few discounted 45mm bands since all my old ones are the smaller size. Glad to hear the Trail Loop is is a good choice too, it would have been my second choice for sure!
The ocean band is really nice, it fits securely and but still with breathing space due to the ridges/waves. It will gets lots of run and gym use, but perhaps less so outside of that once I have a slightly more dressy option.
Mine is being delivered today, moved down a week from 2.-5. Oct, hope I don't get yours
Why on earth is Apple using UPS, it's the worst! The only Delivery-Service without proper live tracking in 2023 ... So I have to be home all Day, because they even are unable to tell you if they deliver late morning or in the afternoon
Actually, UPS is a better choice than USPS or FedEx for deliveries as UPS has live map tracker that is quite awesome.Mine is being delivered today, moved down a week from 2.-5. Oct, hope I don't get yours

UPS even gives a 2 hour delivery window too.
I used the UPS map tracker to make sure I was home for my S9:

Mine has just went to preparing to ship. It was October 3rd then went to September 28th to now preparing to ship.
Mine has been in Preparing to Ship since Friday. Sept. 28 - 30. S9 45SS with Mulberry band. Upgrading from S4 SS. I’m so excited!
That’s why I’m so excited, lol. I was really hoping that since it went to Preparing to Ship on Friday that it would have shipped already. It would have been nice to receive it today, since I’m off on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Oh, well, they say patience is a virtue (I don’t have enough of it). “But I want it yesterday!”
This seems to be available in the US only. In my tracking information it only says ‚till end of day 😡‘
Wish I could be. I am waiting on my phone still and it's lagging behind a by a month. So the watch gets to sit there. I went to android so I'm stuck for a bit.
Oh no! I hope you receive your new phone ahead of schedule. It has to be hard having your new watch and not being able to use it. The waiting is so hard.
I think they slammed the door in my face when they were handing out patience, lol. I’m always like a kid waiting for Christmas when it comes to getting new stuff, especially tech stuff.
Haha sounds like me. I work in IT do anything tech for me is fun.
