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?
Yes I got 2

So, I was pretty quick with my order this morning by I ended up with 10/26-10/28. Wondering if it was my choice of the Nike that resulted in the delayed delivery? Did anyone get a release day delivery for a Nike version? (Mine, specifically, is a Nike Series 7 GPS + Cellular, 45mm Midnight Aluminum with Midnight Navy/Mystic Navy Nike Sport Band.)

I was pretty quick this morning but I did make one mistake -- I was ready to check out and realized I'd forgotten the trade-in.
same delivery date for my wife's watch. we're hoping to get bumped up a few days...

I ended up ordering the band that showed with the blue aluminum, even though I don't particularly like it. The thing that's annoying is that the other blue bands of various types that I like are available to order individually, just not as part of the watch studio process.

I am happy that i was relatively quick with my order of 45mm aluminium starlight & baltic blue leather link.

The band went to “currently not available” about 15 mins after my order. So that combo would not be possible anymore if i was a bit later.

Same here, not my first choice although think it might look alright and a bit different in the flesh..

Does anyone know if you can exchange the unworn band that comes with the watch for a different one at the store? I'd like to exchange the sport band in my order for a different color sport loop after I figure out what size I am. tia

I did the same thing. I was afraid to spend too much time picking out bands and just went with the default configuration. I’ll get a different band later.

Not sure how people are upgrading delivery time, you can’t skip the virtual queue. I’ve even contacted Apple UK about why everything (Stainless Steel and Titanium) is set for 10th-17th November, at no point did he/she offer to upgrade my delivery

You’re not moving up in the queue, instead of 5-7 days in transit it’s going to be delivered overnight… that’s what I was told

That’s wrong information for sure based on every other preorder I’ve ever known about. “Normal” shipping is only a few days from the factory in China to your door. There really is no upgrade possible AFAIK.
