I ordered a 44mm SBSS sport band for myself and a 40mm Pink Aluminum with Sports Band for the wife.
Like some of you guys, I initially had trouble getting my orders in. Tried through the app, some said preorder, others said coming soon. Plenty of cart errors and out of stock messages. About 10 mins in, I was able to get my orders in. SBSS had to be shipped in, my wife’s was able to be picked up at my local store.
Went back to see if I could order mine for store pickup as well, and no dice. It was mainly the aluminum models that were able to be picked up in store.
Initially, my watch said ships on Sept 21st, but now it says ships by the 21st. Wife’s watch says ready for store pickup on Sept 21st. Here’s hoping that Apple delivers to BBY early, or that they drop ship for them. Either way, I should have it no later than Monday/Tuesday.
Attached are screenshots of my order statuses. Hopefully they help someone out.
