Well only change is this on the place in my UPS ap that now says Monday :

but when I click on the link it goes to main page for the watch and still says come back tomorrow what it said yesterday at this time. Basically now estimates one day from my original 26-28th shipping delivery estimate. So much for getting it early but on positive note I will be home and it’s a better time than end of this week. I have my real prize my 13 ProMax and my aw4 works just fine. Truly a first world problem!!

For some reason my smaller apple watch is stuck in the netherlands.
TNT kept saying it would arrive today, but sadly it did not move at all.
Which is a bit annoying since i made sure i would have my home office day at delivery time.

Now it doesn't have any date at all. Not sure what is happening there.
But i likely won't be home when it gets delivered and that will lead to further delays...

This. is. Fed Ex. I returned something from Sacramento to Fresno on 9/26. It took 9 days to go a 4 hour drive. Then…it sat at FedEx in Fresno for 15 days…and they finally delivered it yesterday. Still don’t have my refund.
This happened to me with usps. I almost missed the window of return. I had to call the seller and let them know my return is stuck somewhere not very far from my house, so it wasn't even shipped to the East Coast! They were shocked when checking the tracking number and gave me the refund on the spot. Weeks?! Some people don't like to work, I guess.
 
And another delivery fubar. I ordered green and dark cherry leather link bands. Delivery to be 10/20.

Daughter ordered Apple Watch from Walmart. Delivery to be 10/18.

MONDAY am. 7:39. Email from Walmart. Delivery delayed. Unknown when. THEY cancelled the order for the watch.

8:15am. Doorbell rings. Delivery direct from Apple. Thinking it’s a mistake by Walmart, I refuse delivery.

TUESDAY am. Notification from Apple. Yay, they say. Order for watch bands to be delivered by 8:00pm today.

Check order status for delivery tracking. Yep, it was the bands I refused yesterday. Apple says refund and I have to reorder. I’m not sure I will.
Well! Look what just showed up at my door! Strange thing though. Yesterday it was one flat box. Today, two separate flat boxes. Could yesterday’s be the cancelled watch from Walmart? It’s a mystery!

IMO the titanium looks like brushed aluminum which feels less premium to my eye than the shine of the stainless. Just my opinion and I know there are other benefits to Ti.

I just can’t see eye to eye with the titanium. Looks too much like aluminium and a less premium look to it. All for those that enjoy it but nothing screams good looking more than a shiny Apple Watch.

I have SBTi, arguably the most aluminum looking (in fact the band they bundle with it is the exact same type I selected for my SG aluminum S3 🤣😂). But I get your perspective. In fact I still haven’t canceled my ISPU for the graphite SS because I keep expecting I’ll change my mind and be off the SBTi. But so far it hasn’t been the case. Its deep, dark, mysterious metallurgic nature compels me 😂🤣. Can’t explain it and I fully expected I’d prefer the SS. Anyway, glad everyone is enjoying what they prefer. Apple sure knows how to get that money out of our pockets 🤣🤣.

Same here. My tracking now says Monday. I'm really unhappy with UPS, but overall it's not a big deal I guess. Next time if I can't get if for pick up at the Apple store at launch I think I'll just wait.

I have given up on USPS! Starting last year at this time things just kept going missing. I’m very careful when vendors offer free shipping to make sure it’s not USPS. If so I’ll pay to ship UPS or Fedex. I’ve had multiple vendors reship a lost package or credit a return they never received - it’s not fair that businesses are taking the hit for USPS.
 
I did not know I needed fast charging on my Apple Watch until this upgrade. I recently decided to start using sleep tracking. The fast charging makes that easier than ever. About 20 minutes of charging before going to sleep and I get enough to last me all night and usually through the next day. ❤️ it!
 
Congratulations! Glad you got an update from UPS. Next time get yourself an express shipping :)
Not sure how to convince apple to change that for me. I bugged the heck out them with my 13 ProMax that I missed opening day on by the 5 minutes it took me to get into the store app. Resulting in me writing a Tim Cook letter and got a administrative person who helped me through but claimed to have not gotten anything done on phone and it came week after opening day over week early (and phones were express anyway) the watch is expedited. By the time I found some had pushed for express I did not really want it arriving later half of week due to tons of conflicts and was afraid to push it only if I could have guaranteed its arrival like yours today and non on Wednesday-Friday
 
TITANIUM APPLE WATCH WITH MILANESE STEEL BAND IS HERE!!!

My new precious titanium ⌚️ is finally here! 😈 It is so premium and exclusive. It feels very expensive. I really can’t stress this enough. It is hard to explain. You have to experience it yourself.

I know I’m late… I’m sorry if it was a little delayed… Yes, it was a little delayed. However, I did everything I could under my power to have my watch as soon as possible. Rest assured the Apple Watch ⌚️ was promised a delivery date of October 26th. However, it has finally arrived today. I do want to thank all of you for sticking around here and especially for all the people who waited with me with the Apple Watch. I know who you are. Enjoy the pictures :)

Nomad Graphite Stainless link band came in and it’s stunning! I’m so surprised at how well it matches! And the weight feels fantastic!

Honestly when its on your wrist I barely notice a diff between my official apple one and this one. The lugs are plastic instead of metal is the only difference I can tell.. and the apple one is more durable if you force stretch it out. Normal day to day use it seems like both will stretch out over time but you're paying $100 for one and like $12 for the other.
I bought the same brand band in blue. The quality seemed good on first impression. Unfortunately, their sizing was off (or mine was). I measure my wrist at 6.5"/165mm or just under, depending on how tight I pull the measuring tape. That should have been a #7, but I'm exchanging it for a #5 arriving today.
The size #5 fits pretty well. It's a bit on the snug side, but that's probably better starting out than the opposite. The color match is good with the Series 7 blue. The quality of the band seems good, with excellent elasticity.

Super happy for you! You seemed a bit more at peace with how this delivery went vs the iPhone 13. Like you were in your Zen, just waiting for it to happen.

Enjoy the setup and watch face/band combinations - and get some rest!
