Happy watch day!!

I scrolled and have not gotten the answer. Can someone share with me the airports your watch travelled through to get to the US? Want to try to look for possible flights for my watch currently sitting in Shanghai.

Checked my local stores for availability at 6am and my preferred store did not have them. Every other store that had availability today I was imagining myself sitting in the traffic and saying nope! Not worth it. Guess I am officially older and more patient. At least for this release 😀 Hoping my watch shows up Monday TU or W

So Wave one went from Shanghai (PVG) to Incheon, South Korea (KSI) - then on to Anchorage (ANC) and finally UPS World Port in Louisville, KY (SDF)[Muhammad Ali Int'l)].

Wave 2 went from Shanghai to Osaka, Japan (JOO) and on to Anchorage and Louisville as above.

Happy Flight Tracking! Hope you get delivery soon.

LOL

My local store has them all in stock for pickup right now so I just purchased one... The same one I've been watching all week cross the world to get here lol

My tracking now shows the - CONTACT THE NON-UPS BROKER - garbage that many others in Canada are seeing - That's B.S. and don't want to deal with that...

Lame after all that excitement following along that UPS screws it all up with whatever they are doing...

But regardless I'll go pick it up in an hour!

Why do you wear it reversed? Just curious.
While not my photo - I wear mine the same ways. When at the gym, or climbing and I bend my wrist the crown gets turned/pushed and adjusts the volume on my music lol... so, been wearing it reeked for many years now..

PLUS

then you cuz use your thumb for the crown - seems odd not being able to so that!

As others have noted, the usual air route is Shanghai (PVG) to Incheon Korea (ICN) to Anchorage (ANC) to Louisville KY (SDF), clear customs and then to your city by another flight or truck. The stall in Shanghai may be due to UPS flight schedule. If I recall, there are only 5 weekly flights to Incheon with Fri/Sat no service. From the Holy City of Cupertino, Shanghai is 15 hours later. So, look for a Sunday flight PVG to ICN sometime on Saturday, California time. Weird time courtesy of International Dateline.

I sometimes got to the crown with a thick jacket, so I just turned the watch around. Since then I like it the best

Yeah I just noticed the reversed watches on 2 threads today and got curious. I could see the action button being easier to access as well. Thanks.

Its after 5pm here in NJ and doesn't show shipped. It will be impressive if that sucker shows up the 23rd! Apple must be subcontracting Santa for all these worldwide deliveries!
Color me impressed it was here today about 10:15am!!!

My original order is still in China but I was able to snag one at my local Apple store to be delivered by courier. $9 is a steel for delivery to me... saves me an hour round trip in traffic plus no lines...
