Well you know the expression hope springs eternal? So after late flights and cancelled deliveries my watch which was in Philly suddenly pops up at the UPS facility by my house and says its still processing for delivery today. We will see but I am already back at a point where I will be crushed again later if it doesn't happen. Oh the ups and downs of loving new tech! Just waiting for that Loaded on truck notification!
 
Good morning! I just woke up.

Looks like I have made it to Las Vegas, Nevada. Took a red-eye flight last night and ⌚️ is home. I’m so happy it’s here already. I swear I had a delivery date scheduled on a Thursday but it showed up 2 days earlier. I’ll be picking up my Apple swatch later today. Stay tuned and be on the look out ;)

Well glad some of you got your watch early stuck again/still in Shanghai after sitting for 3 plus days and then some movement about ready to ship and come back tomorrow from UPS nothing another delay still not out of the airport.

Just picked up this bad boy today! 45mm Space Black Titanium. This should be the one I’ll stick to. Green was good but this is on another level, so is its price!
Love the Apple Watch. Congratulations. Titanium, itself just hits different. On another level. Are you planning on rocking the stock band?

I do have a minor allergic reaction to Apple's fluoroelastomer bands, so I might end up switching to the Abyss Blue that I got my watch with. Currently admiring the beauty of the Dark Sport Band with the Space Black enclosure.

Regardless, it stands out. I hope you enjoy your Apple Watch this year. Congratulations!

If it makes you feel any better, mine was supposed to arrive yesterday but my watch hasn't even shipped. It's probably lost in their warehouse somewhere. Planning on having them initiate a shipping investigation soon
 
Same here. Hopefully updated later today.
That would be nice but I have little hope now things at this stage can sit for few more days. If we see nothing by midday its going to be another long wait I am afraid. Shipping is simply messed up these days
 
Weird! That's frustrating to have activity and then just "nothing to see here. Try again another time."
Yep about to give up and just wait for scans saying it’s finally in US, probably later in weeks now….apple still says the original 26-28th arrival in conservative mode so no movement they see either
 
Still waiting for something to happen 😴
Ordered with an hour after the preorders went live:
I feel your pain. Finished my order 5 minutes after the store opened. Similar watch to yours - blue 45 cellular - same band. i have the same estimated delivery date - Oct 25 to Nov 1.

If you were kicking yourself for not ordering a bit sooner, it probably wouldn't have made any difference. It didn't for me.

That’s terrible.
 
Well it's good to know there are at least 3 of us in this weird shipping limbo.
Yes we are in same batch, it just is a pain because I will not be here later i week out of town, so my wife will be here to receive it but I will have to wait til I get back to setup and use. With the movement I was hoping to get it by Wednesday before I leave town. Oh well, not likely now. Glad I am not ordering one of the MacBooks LOL they are also slipping into November and December and I would hate to have something that expensive sitting. My late 2019 15 inch MacBook Pro is fine for what i do on it and besides I do not have a spare 3K sitting around to get a model with similar capacity in this new series LOL

Congrats!!!

Mine hasn't moved in days, to be honest, it's kinda killed the buzz now.

Funny cause it should still get to me before they promised but after seeing yours and others in the same group move up I was thrilled, now I'm enjoying the Starlight and I'm like 'eh.

I just can't see how some people in same timestamps in China got loaded on and mine with same configuration and original date just got left behind (with a bunch of other folks). The only difference between ours is the band.

Just venting....

Ahhh, I understand your frustration. I think you were promised a Friday delivery. So, I hope you get your Apple Watch soon. I hope you should see your movement soon as well. Hey, Atleast you can play around with Starlight Apple Watch. Hopefully you will see some sort of a movement tonight.
