I don’t know if this means anything but I just checked and my watch status has moved to preparing to ship. My estimated delivery date is oct 1-8 so maybe they are getting more stock in already.
It took AT&T over 4 hours to fix mine. It was working fine eventually now it shows it isn’t connected to cellular anymore again. It’s white instead of green. Tried to disconnect from WiFi and it still won’t connect. Damn this is a headache!
Now FedEx shows multiple delivery exceptions but still shows deliver today by noon. With the package being in TN and it being 1:30 that delivery time seems suspect. Maybe they have a time machine though.
I give up.
Well mine finally came and I have to say, after owning all the series except series 1 (went straight from first gen to series 2) this is my favorite so far. Activation was a breeze. Numbersync was easy. It took my series 3 off and added this one within seconds. And this 3rd party Milanese loop I got from amazon matches the gold perfectly. I am in heaven!

This one... I actually got it in 38mm because I love the way the thinner band looks with the wide watch. Fits fine.
LWCUS Replacement Compatible for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07796P5Z1?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Edit: it looks like it’s currently unavailable!!! That’s so strange. I just ordered it a couple of days ago. It arrived today.
I just moved to Preparing to Ship too. 44mm SG Aluminum with Sport Loop. 10/1-10/8 delivery window.
Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

I ordered mine at 3:18AM EDT on preorder night. Have a 10/1 - 10/8 delibery that says in progress. Does anyone have any movement with a similar case?
I ordered mine at 3:17am with that same delivery window and mine was delivered today. It shipped over the weekend.
I’m in the same situation as you. Ordered at 3:20am. 44mm SS with white band (keeping my Milanese from my Watch Series 2). Been stuck In Progresss ever since. Spoke to AT&T who says I will get it on the 1st, but they’ve lied and lied about everything with this order. Got the iPhone Xs Max on launch day from Apple online order. AT&T is the worst for ordering anything IMO. Hope we get them soon.
We need to keep each other updated. Yeah I was hesitant with ordering from AT&T. But I honestly wanted their financing.
I wanted the $60 in credits. I got AT&T to give me more when I called and a rep tried to get me to cancel my order and pick it up same day in store on the 20th. I’m like it’s not even available yet. Rep: sure it is. You can go to the store today and pick up your new Apple Watch 3. SMH.
[doublepost=1537972190][/doublepost]I don’t think our dates will move up. I think they sold out of SS in first few minutes and everyone else got an IOU. I’m showing a phone number attached to mine but it’s been like that for days.
Oh right I forgot about the $60 credit! That's nice. Yeah I agree with you about them completely selling out. You can't even buy them anymore on the site, the store shows nothing. I keep checking Best Buys stock to see if they have similar.
It’s hard to find any information on what the issue is with delivery dates. I think AT&T got very little stock of the SS. Have you called them and asked if they can see when yours is coming? Might be better off not calling since they lie over the phone and in chat.
Per the ATT site it is applied as bill credits:
Bill Credit: Account and service on your line must remain active to get up to two credits ($30 service + Up to $30 activation) w/in 3 bills.
Is it for new customers only? I already have a series 3 on an AT&T Plan (it wasn't financed but bought from apple store). So I would be activating the new watch to replace that one.
[doublepost=1537994902][/doublepost]This AT&T deal is pretty compelling with $60 credit and 20 month interest free financing.
What's killing me is that I only ordered yesterday so my estimated delivery is Oct30-Nov6! I ordered SBSS w/milanese black

I spoke to a rep on the live chat and they said no, that existing customers are eligible. I did NOT ask if it had to be a new line or if an upgrade was eligible as my existing watch is GPS only, this will be the first LTE watch for me.
The Series 4 Nike edition just became available through AT&T, so I ordered mine today. Delivery date is estimated at Nov 1-8.
On 9/24 i placed 2 separate online orders for 1 SSSB 44” with sport band. And a SSG 44” with sport band. The ship date estimates ranged from 10/30 to 12/31. On the 26th both orders were cancelled and i was given BS reasoning by att. They said i had failed to accept the terms in an email that was sent to me.
Nevermind the fact that there no such thing (you accept all terms via 3 check boxes at the payment/checkout screen). Nevermind the fact that i was already charged.
So i ended up wasting hours, talking to cs via phone and chat. Ended up, going to my local att store (also took hours) and replacing my order for the gold due to some more bs about requiring a deposit on the 2nd watch. I told them to kiss my ass, i have perfect credit over 750 fico and i didnt require any deposits online for any of my 3 orders (new customer as of 9/21).
That was yesterday 9/26. Now today 9/27, my SSG is preparing for shipment.
Im glad its moving right along as I expected it would like it does every year. But the experience has been horrid.

I ordered mine about 10 minutes after 3am EST. Got dates of Oct 1 to Oct 8 and hasn’t budged since. Still says in progress. Wish they would have said they only had 6 SS models available and I would have gotten from Apple. I don’t expect it until the 8th at this point.
