Ditto on both counts. I’m collecting from the Belfast store on Friday morning. I reckon we’ll wake up on Friday morning to find credit card charge and “in store” status. They are almost certainly in stock rooms just waiting for Friday.
Got a tip for us?

Wow, up against that black band, you can really see how blue that watch case is.
Und wCorrect, they’re getting stock ready for store walk ins. 😁 hopefully the model i was looking at isn’t available for store pickup.
And from when could this be available again today or rather tomorrow or not until Friday?
Check early in the morning on launch day, if you have no luck getting one, try again the following day.
Hope your right mate, can’t wait to get it.
Upgrading from an S3 so hoping to see big improvements!
Apple has lost the plot, 2 of their most popular watch colors aren’t available this year, they’ll be losing money on watch bands sales, since most of the bands go well with the silver & black aluminum watches. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️Wow, up against that black band, you can really see how blue that watch case is.
Nope. No movement as yet and we probably won’t see anything until tomorrow
An understatement! It’s been massively improved. Good luck.
I wouldn't even worry. Your store pick-up order is guaranteed.

I'm starting to think those in the USA are ok.. plenty of stock (apart from Ti models) for launch. Those in the UK (like myself) are ok if they ordered with standard sports bands. If however you went for something a little different such as a solo loop (braided or sports) then your shipping date was pushed beyond launch day, regardless of how quickly you ordered. So for me my backup plan of going into store the morning of the release is probably a better bet than waiting two additional weeks for my online order.
Have you tried each strap in turn to see if collect in store comes up? Then you know you’ll get it and can buy your preferred strap at your leisure.
From past experience, your latest backup will only appear if watchOS version is the same or lower than the watch. Otherwise you will need to set it up as new, update the Watch and then reset.
Thats the thing - the strap I wanted originally (charcoal braided loop) and pre ordered caused significant delay and notably its disappeared from the store - discontinued. My second choice strap (dark cherry braided loop) IS in stock separately for same day collection! But make this a watch combo and there's no stock until December. Thats why I'm convinced actually going into store will be the best solution to this SKU mess.
I have a pickup ordered for Friday (UK) but also separately ordered the strap I really wanted (leather link) which was delivered yesterday (strap was not available for combo or to pickup in store). When I go on Friday I will take with me and hopefully they will sort so can take as part of watch combo instead.
Actually last evening I unpaired my 4 and set it up as new as I had a problem with an email address and haven't sold it yet .
It's fast an easy , much more than on a iPhone . So I guess I'll set up the new watch as new also .
I'm keeping my S5 anyway, but I will set up my S7 as new as it feels cleaner that way. And as you say, not really a PIA like the iPhone.
I’ve ordered mine with a strap I don’t want because I’m guaranteed pick up on launch day. I’ll put that strap on the S6 I’ll be selling.
Just a tad behind you. Hoping to see a departure scan from Anchorage soon.
I’m in Alaska now. Liking the progress!
As much as I am happy that my AW is probably already in the UK in a nice secure facility ready to be shipped to me on Friday, I am kind of missing out on this tracking stuff lol.
I remember when my daughter got me an AW2 and ordered it just before Xmas, I tracked it all the way from China to my door and it arrived on Xmas eve. Yes, I did open it lol.

No sure I’ll sell it either, it works fine and is worth very little.

Germany here. Today my credit card was charged. Nothing more yet. No tracking number, status is still "Shipping is prepared".
