Best Buy Pre Order for Series 4 Apple Watch?

Watches shipped from Best Buy originate from the US so I would think we will see movement by Wednesday.
 
I just cancelled mine and grabbed a Nike version that has an oct 5 date. At least I know when it’s coming lol.

People panic when they see Apple orders progressing but that’s because they are coming from China.

I’m not panicking. I’m not in any hurry. Just like to know when I’m getting something. It’s the same watch anyways.

Was talking in general terms. Not directed at you. Depending on where one lives, the watch could ship as late as Thursday.
 
I wasn’t even planning on buying a watch until I got a BB gift card. I also decided to go 44 vs 40. It appears the 44 and 42 share the same footprint just more on the screen.

No they are indeed a bit bigger. Probably not too noticeable although the Apple Store iOS app size comparison shows a difference. I've seen other drawings where it isn't so pronounced.
[doublepost=1537220893][/doublepost]Looking at the Best Buy site, they are still showing some aluminum models as being available by Friday. Sounds a little fishy. Hope they have their house in order.

Holding my 42 up to it basically looks wider than anything. Anyways looking forward to bestbuy fulfilling orders!

My guess is that unless it has a date then they have no idea when they will fulfill ours.

I ordered from BB a 44mm SS white band and it was ordered at 2:12am CST.

Order status on website shows "we'll let you know when it ships"

Also shows "In Progress".

I don’t know for sure that Best Buy had any SS models in stock.

I posted ordered but it was a pre-order. I looked again in the morning on Sept 14th and it did not offer the pre-order button and said coming soon, then later that day it was up for pre-order again but also saying all the pre-orders had all been filled.

I just called the 888 number and it told me your order is being prepared and will be on its way.

wow I just noticed my sig... how long its been since I have updated it lol...
 
Best Buy still shows stock for Friday (at least for some aluminum models). And if it's not in the computer showing up in a certain status, asking a rep is pointless in my opinion.

I got the same thing when I called in. Not sure if this is a generic message or not. The site still just says pre-ordered.

I ordered a SBSS 44 with a Sport Loop. Order was placed at 3:14 EST and says it will ship by Sept. 21.
 
Ugh. I’m super anxious about this. I pre-ordered as soon as the button turned yellow... but my message says “we’ll let you know when it ships”

Which sounds like there may be a good chance it’s not in the 1st batch... heh... I know it’s not the end of the world, but I was gonna work from home that day to receive... lil harder to plan ahead if I don’t know when it’s coming... ;)

It’s showing that on your order status? That’s discouraging. Meanwhile as I mentioned before, they claim they still have models available for Friday release. Can the aluminum models be that unpopular? They’re backordered on apple.com. Something is weird.
 
Welcome to the Best Buy rollercoaster! I ordered my AW3 from them last year and here was my experience: If you ordered it for pickup at your local BB, and it said you could pick it up on release day when you ordered, you have a real good chance. But here is the kicker. Best Buy only updates the shipping and delivery notice the night before (and maybe even the actual day!) of pickup, It's how they rolled last year. They came through, but put me through the ringer waiting. Wishing everyone good luck!

In the past, best buy has only updated pre-order status the day before it's supposed to arrive.
