I was charged last night. Midnight/Midnight Sport. Now preparing to ship. Nov 1 - Nov 8 was the date I was given when I ordered on opening day.
I received the shipped notification last night and it should be delivered tomorrow to NC. I didnt have any movement till midnight on the 26th. So was charged midnight on the 26th, shipped around midnight on the 27 should arrive on the 28th. Have faith.

I see that some people have shipping notifications for an estimate between Nov 1 and Nov 8.
My shipping estimate is between Oct 25 and Nov 2 and I am still in processing status 🤔🤔🤔

I’m in the UK and ordered a 41mm SSS on 10 Oct. The payment has just gone out of my bank account. It’s been a pending charge since the 25th. Delivery dates were originally 4 to 11 Nov. Apple says it’s due to arrive on 1 Nov. According to DHL it’s still in China.

when I chatted with Apple, they were functionally useless.
"You can return it when it arrives if you wish" and "we can extend the trade-in if the order is still open."

I can, it's a long wait at the moment though, probably half the reason I got the SS graphite, came in 3 days.
Gotcha. You might have already tried this but keep checking apple store app for the case and color you want, and any acceptable band. Since launch I’ve reserved, and in some cases, picked up every case I’ve wanted (except natural Ti).

UPS is torturing me for pleasure at the point, I'm sure of it. My watch is sitting in Anchorage since 11:38p last night (AK time), there have been several flights out of Anchorage to Louisville (Worldport) and my watch hasn't been on any of them. Just put it on a plane and deliver it to me already! Can you tell I'm inpatient?

Same here. I'm really wondering how they want to make the promised delivery dates if it hasn't even been shipped by now ;)

My card has been charged and status changed to "preparing to ship" since early yesterday morning, but still not shipped (now over 36 hours later). My delivery estimate is 25 Oct. - 1 Nov.

EDIT: Just received the shipment notification!

EDIT 2: Arrives tomorrow (Friday) by UPS Next Day Air Saver!

Your lucky, my launch day order arrived with a scratch on the screen, sent it back last week with a current ETA of first week in December!
Were you read the script that replacements are given priority too? Only for email to arrive contradicting what they told you?
What did you order?
I am so sorry to hear. It that happened to me, all you’d here is me screaming while jumping off a building.

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.
Or not. Status has reverted back to the original Nov 1-8, and the UPS app shows nothing en route.

I guess my watch is stuck in Shanghai due to UPS mechanical issues just like many other delayed watches and MacBooks.

Bummer. Sign of the times.

I ordered a 45mm SS graphite a couple of days ago. Delivery estimate is November 17-24 but I keep hoping my shipping date will get bumped up. It's going to be a very long November. lol.

Wrong again LOL. It was just delivered minutes ago.

So I guess Apple and UPS status updates are a little screwy too.
