Here we go, my watch has been shipped. From Prague to Germany. Parcel service, DHL Express .. Yay
Are you kidding? Why orders to Germany goes from Prague and orders to Decin (Tetchen) goes from Holand?
Shipped notification and apple email just now. Delivery 9/23 - Toronto, Canada.
UPS still showing "Arrived at Facility - Louisville, KY, US" since Wednesday. No change.

Also just got the shipped notification with an arrival date of tomorrow. Very excited.
This is the first time I ordered anything for home delivery from Apple since 2016.

Mine required signature, but I authorized a shipment release through the UPS app
Shipment on the way (To Canada)! Got the notification this morning and I have to say that I can't wait to be tomorrow. 🤩
I just got notified by Apple Store app that my Ultra with Starlight Alpine will be here tomorrow. The UPS Tracking number I found in UPS MyChoice assigned from "AI" was indeed my Ultra sitting in a UPS warehouse somewhere waiting release. SO it should arrive tomorrow! However, my added Blue/Gray Trail Loop slipped and now shows November 4-18 delivery
just got this:
UPS my track has no updates since arriving in KY
UPS my track has no updates since arriving in KY
I just got shipping conf from apple but the tracking still in KY. I think is normal it will move for sure today.
The Apple 404 Status Page error was resolved last night. My AWU Ocean Black is now listed as Shipped ETA 9/28!!! WaHoo!
Being in Ky is good! It is the last stop before you see it flown to your local hub. You will have your watch on Friday, just as Apple promised.
Thanks for your comment. Someone posted a comparison and it looks like we are getting more screen ratio. With AW Ultra you can see more space around it.
Yes. I was looking at that graphic when I replied earlier. If you compare what's actually on the 45mm S7/S8 display to what's on the 49mm Ultra display, they're so close to being identical that for all practical purposes they're the same. You can see this if you look at street names and intersections on the 45mm and 49mm displays. The 44mm AW display shows less information on the display compared to the other two.
I had actually forgotten that in-store pickup wasn't possible when I ordered and this was being shipped. Definitely want to be home when the UPS truck shows up, for several reasons and impatience probably isn't even the most important reason.
Alright everyone….let’s see some pictures of those Ultra’s on the wrist once they arrive😂.
I’m particularly interested to see a picture from anyone that ordered the size “M/L” trail loop that has a large wrist. My wrist measures 8 3/16 and I have trouble with the Apple’s “Sport Loop” bands. In the ”large” size, the end of the band (when wrapped on my wrist) sits at the 3 or 9 o’clock position on my wrist (looks weird). I have to order the XL size of those to have the end sit more towards the bottom of my wrist…and Apple typically only offers the XL in one Color option
With the trail loop….at least from the pictures on Apple’s site….it looks like they’ve designed it so that the “end” (when wrapped on the wrist) sits more in the 3 or 9 o’clock position on the wrist (ie more on the side). So, I’d be concerned that I’d really be in trouble with the size M/L trail loop (ie that it might sit more in the top to side range of the wrist. Unfortunately, they don’t make an XL version of the trail loop.
Interested to see the sizing on the trail loop for those with large wrists.

I think you pretty much summed it up there. The features are compelling, as long as it fits into daily wear and use.
I also think the pricing seems lower than I would have expected, if you compare the prices for the S7 titanium Edition watches and the S8 stainless steel watches. The AWU isn't exactly a bargain, but it looks like the cost to feature ratio is better than other versions of the Apple Watch.
The package weight for my AWU is shown as 0.6 KG, which does seem heavier than expected.

Two minutes ago the UPS tracking record coughed up a long series of tracking events from China to Korea to Alaska to KY. Shows delivery on time for tomorrow.
