Midnight/Midnight sport band: charged overnight, now preparing to ship. Hopefully that flips to shipped today or tomorrow. Target is still November 3-10, so there's still time

I had a Oct 25 - Nov 1 delivery with nothing going on as well. Last night was charged and received the text notification that it shipped and should arrive tomorrow. UPS hasn't updated and says check back tomorrow, so we'll see if it does show up on time but at least something finally happened.
I'd take that as a win.

If this watch is anything like my iPhone a couple of years ago, it'll look like it has been stuck overseas for days and then magically update to Louisville, KY and all the missed scans will back fill. At least, I hope that's what's happening. UPS still says I should get it on Friday.

Now, instead of the text "We have all the information needed" bla bla of my last screenshot, i just see "As soon as the product is ready, we'll let you know".
I take this as progress too... optimism inside :D

Launch day order, watch arrived with / developed a defect (crack inside the screen), sent for a refund, reordered on Friday. Three more weeks to go for a replacement 😕.

I am surprised (and maybe happy…) to announce that I was charged for my AW7, on Amazon (France) Delivery is still set for the 4th and I’m pretty sure this doesn’t mean they will have it in stock by then. In fact, when I ordered it, it was schedule to be in stock by the 3rd, so a next day delivery makes it available on the 4th, as written on my order for now.

I would still have preferred to get it directly from Apple (no reason here, just used to get all my Apple stuff from Apple), but won’t complain as I’m getting so impatient to finally have this stainless steel version 🙂

By the way, I shared yesterday I think that this SS with Milanese loop was available in 45mm on Amazon with a delivery date the 20th. Now it is set to be available in the next 1 to 2 months. Maybe all the orders they had placed with Apple are sold for now. Anyway, this tends to make me believe that the 4th of November is a real schedule on their side 🤞

Just checked for ISPU and found 2 stores with SS in 45mm. Will get mine tomorrow at noon from a local Apple Store :eek::cool:

Milanese loop where available, but not in the order, so will buy one when I get there… and maybe a braided loop too😅

I had the same estimated delivery dates and also got the same text for delivery tomorrow. But Deliver-it is shown as the carrier. Never heard of it!

Add me (and others I know) to the Shanghai bandwagon.
UPS said Nov 1; Apple had committed Nov 3. I did regular shipping, not expedited.

Happy to report I'm getting an early arrival. My delivery estimate was Nov 1-8 (45mm Graphite SS). It was ordered on launch day. I just got notified that it is en-route and arriving tomorrow, Oct 27.

Ordered on the 8th but not in the first hour, (delivery 9-16 Nov). Used $275 in gift cards, with the remainder to go on my Apple Card. Yesterday I get an email from Apple that they're having trouble processing the payment. Call Apple, they tell me to call Goldman Sachs. GS says you have $6700 open to buy, no reason for trouble. Call Apple back because the apple online won't let me enter the card number again (even though it was right to begin with). The Apple person confirmed everything and re-entered the number, now 24 hours later and it still shows "waiting for payment." I've never spend this much time trying to make an Apple purchase in 10 years of buying. 🙄

I am in the Nov 2nd wave. Received the shipping notice the other day and said on or before 11/2, but now it says to check back tomorrow. Either will be delayed or early. I hope it is the latter.
