Apple Watch Ultra ordered thread!

They must have allocated like two of these for the first round of shipping to New Zealand. I ordered one as soon as the store came back up, but in the two minutes it took for me to figure out it was compatible with existing bands and to decide which band to get with it, shipping slipped from 23 to 27 September.
Mine is currently sitting at “preparing for shipment”. With how useless FedEx is in this part of the world, they will no doubt deliver the thing to the rural depot just after the courier driver leaves for the day, which means I can either wait an extra 1–2 days or drive to the depot to pick it up (if they’ll even let me).

I did, but they don't seem to have the M/L size as soon as I select it, it changes to the black/blue color.
What bands does everyone here use and recommend? I have been using the silver Milanese loop exclusively (even while sleeping and working out) for my last 3 watches.
If I can't find a black/grey trail loop close to launch day, I was debating about either trying a braided loop or a leather link to hold me over.
Any pros/cons to either of those?
Thank you all from EU for confirming. We have same situation. Charged on friday and still preparing. We will see

I cancelled my Ultra order today.
The fridge decided to leak all over the place and that now takes priority over this watch.
FYI, Leaky fridge = unhappy wife.
Will hang onto my Ti AW7 until at least after the fridge crisis is averted. Also, I noticed that my shipping slipped a week or two, so I may still be able to go to the AS and get it quicker anyway.
Maybe me cancelling will move someone's order up a day or two!!
You're welcome.

I assume that the watches are already in Germany or come from the Czech Republic. Everything will be fine 😁Thank you all from EU for confirming. We have same situation. Charged on friday and still preparing. We will see
Yep. Except the time that it arrived on Sept 28th. And that one time it arrived April 16th.
Almost all my orders from Apple came from CZ. I don't know how it is with release orders
They sit in China for a few days then they leave by Tuesday for destinations at least that's what my MBA M2 and iPhone did.
Lol I know that. been doing iPhone tracking on this website since 2015. For ultra the scans aren't showing anything since 9/18. Should leave CN today !
Amazon in Canada shows Sept 27 delivery for Alpine Starlight in medium size. Pre-ordered there, but will still try Apple Store on Friday morning.
Sorry to hear. Hopefully you'll be able to re-order soon.I cancelled my Ultra order today.

Mine dates are the same. So dissapointed that delivery is delayed, since waiting until the 30th seemed almost impossible. Guess I'll live, though.
UPS My Choice. I forget if you need to have a premium (paid) account or not. I do pay the yearly fee.
Just checked my tracking again and it's still delivering Sept 23rd by 7pm. Ordered mins after the event, Midnight Ocean edition.
