Delivery for most versions was showing November, so went for next Saturday collection instead.

Now more than 5 hrs later, if I order the watch now, it would still have the same delivery date (11/1-11/8) as it did at 5am this morning. ??‍♂️
Yes this has me suspicious as well. Sounds like production ramps up for then (with a few if any available before)?

Ordered Nike starlight 41mm for in store pick up on launch day. I only ordered the Nike version because that is the band I wanted. At my age the only running I do is to the bathroom. LOL. My gold iPhone13 pro isn't being delivered until 10/28. This is my first trip back to apple after the only iPhone I ever had the the 6. Love my iPads though. This is going to be a big adjustment for me coming from the Pixel 4xl. I was going to wait and see what the Pixel 6 is like but I am older and live alone so I want the fall detection just in case. The things you decide when you get older!

No luck with any bands that I can stand for a Blue Aluminum 45 gps/cellular. I've never tried pre-ordering anything in 10+ years of Apple products. I phoned in and the Apple salesperson said, sorry, try again every day this week. The chat person told me 3 colors of bands that were available that I couldn't stand. What do you seasoned pre-order people think? As others have said, wish we could just order the watch without a band, I've already got plenty.
Since you have plenty of bands that you do like, order with any band and just don’t use the one you don’t like.

On what do you base this ?
Just look at how little product was available for launch day even for those that checked out by 5:02. Virtually everyone was in the late October bucket and more so in early November.

Did anyone get a launch day SS or Ti?

This thread is worldwide (unlike the iphone threads). Something tells me the UK (ie. synchreon and the stores) didn't get many if any at all of the SS and edition models.
The first titanium one i selected at about 1 minute past, was already showing november and not available in my favourite stores (one of which is regent street).
Immediate strap changes made no difference.

Mean time, if you look at Nike models, they're still available for collection at some UK stores...

Yeah I mentioned this earlier, it’s always been November, and the same date in November, I think they are place holders

Only a few lucky ones got a October delivery date for Titanium models including myself. All others were delayed. Very limited supplies.

I pre-ordered at 7:02cst time. For some reason I couldn't choose delivery (it was greyed out) so I chose pick up at store on 10-15. I live 5 minutes away so no big deal. I'm also second guessing the starlight silver since everyone is now saying it has a gold tint to it. Hoping they have extra stock if i need to exchange it.

Thanks, I had a momentary no signal (thanks EE), hence i was a minute late.

Having sold the AW6, I dont want to wait a month without, tempted to consider a nike (they're still showing available to collect next friday). Which if I cancel my titanium order would be less money for Apple of course, hence I assume they had a production issue. Decisions decisions, 10-17nov is a long way away :(
