I’ve been ’shipped’ for a couple days, but seem to be stuck in Shanghai. Anyone else?
Nov 2-6. SB TI 41”

I’ve been like this for 2 days. UPS says to check tomorrow and tomorrow is almost over.

Your package is in transit. We're updating plans to schedule your delivery. / The package will be forwarded to a UPS facility in the destination city.

Mine is saying “Commercial invoice is incomplete” after arriving from China. Anyone else? Zero search results for this.

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.
Unbelievable. Very sorry to hear.

To those that placed orders for titanium watches, was the initial delivery estimate from Apple when you placed your order accurate? Or has the watch arrived earlier, and if so by how long? Considering returning my graphite SS model and getting the SBTi S7 but delivery estimate is 6 - 14 December, just wanted to see what other people’s experience has been like.

I was processing from 10/8 till 10/26. Was charged on the 26th, Watch coming in 28th. No indication it was ever in China or customs or anything. I don’t think there’s any rhyme or reason to who is showing movement. “Most” are arriving early like normal. I was 11/1-11/8 and will be 10/28. If you’re like me. You won’t hear anything and then your watch will be here two days later. Keep the faith. The people that arrived with scratches, now that’s terrible.

The graphite SS has been available on Amazon if that interest you. Faster than Apple. My friend bought one this weekend. Came in yesterday. I ordered on the 8th :/

I already have the graphite SS, I mentioned I was considering returning it for a titanium;) since I’ll be keeping the watch for 2 years, would be nice for it to stay pristine since it’s now been confirmed that the graphite SS does not have a DLC coating (like the SBTi) but rather a PVD coating.

I originally had a delivery window of this week. A couple days after ordering it moved to the following week (first week of Nov.). 45mm SBTi. Ordered within 2 minutes of the store going live. Moved from processing to "preparing to ship" today.

I was quick on the draw. The game was on. And I don’t have my watch yet so I’m a little antsy.

Really that blows, was already on the fence re returning mine. Torn.
So the others are the same price and have it? Iv'e never had SS so don't know the difference.

Decision made, definitely returning the SS graphite, might wait for a sale on a midnight aluminium maybe, if not just get another year out of my S5 SG.
Keeping the tornadoe grey band though love it, lucky I bought it seperate lol.
