Status changed to 'Preparing to Ship' within the last hour.

Ordered mine yesterday. 42mm in titanium natural finish with matching link bracelet. Delivery is estimated between October 10-17th. Seems like it's the bracelet that's pushing up the delivery date, as the Milanese loop still has September 20th as the listed delivery date.

Switching from AW1 just for the black color. If only the S10 jet black has the same battery life…

Not sure what size to get. I have the Series 4 in 44mm and want to reduce bulkiness, thinking of going with 42mm, but unsure how that will affect the screen size which I'd like to be a bit larger.

Ordered mine on Monday evening. It’s my first Apple Watch and I’m switching from Garmin. I’m really excited! It will arrive on September 20 and the status also changed to ‘preparing to ship’ earlier today.

I chose the jet black version in 42mm with the plum sport band. But I also bought a Clover sport band and I was very lucky and found a hugely discounted leather link band in sequoia green in an opened and damaged box. The band itself is new and in perfect condition.

Did I already write I’m really excited 😁

My tracking information is visible in the ups app! 🥳 The watch is in Czech. Probably it’s been there for awhile already :)

How do you guys get the UPS deal working? Will it just automatically connect if anything is send to your MyChoice address?

I downloaded the app from DHL express and UPS (I didn’t know which one would deliver) and then it indeed automatically shows you when there’s a package coming to your address. The label gets made by Apple and that’s when you can see it.

I wanted to change the delivery to a nearby pickup point instead of to my house. So hopefully that did work.

In my country some watches are delivered by DHL and some by UPS.

Sweet. Luckily my UPS MC is to on my old dress from two years ago and beyond and DHL express dos not seem to connect to my normal DHL account so the password dos not work. Must continue obsessively staring at my Apple Store page. :D

DHL express needs a separate account :) I have two: one for express and one for parcel. Those are two separate apps.

You can change your address in the ups app maybe?

Haha good luck with staring! I was doing it since yesterday too!

Yes, but it needs new post ident. The watch will be here before that is resolved. 🤿

Now I got my SMS from Apple and UPS tracking. Also from Czechia. I guess with express this means arrival before 12 tomorrow?

My iPad Pro M2 came from Czech as well, with UPS, but it got delivered early in the afternoon. But this was in 2023 and it was not a pre order. DHL express always comes around 9.15 in the morning here, while UPS always rings my doorbell in the afternoon.

Mine's coming via DHL, which is great because ever since Covid UPS always insists on delivery to a nearby service point while telling me it's out for delivery to my house and it's soooo annoying 😂

My status on the ups website and app is still “label made”. It’s not arrived at UPS and I also didn’t get a delivery time frame SMS. I’m afraid my watch won’t be delivered tomorrow? Or do more people still have the ‘label is made’ status and nothing more?

My label was also created this morning. After that nothing.. only the email from Apple that my package is send.

But ups customer service says they haven’t received my package yet so it can’t be delivered tomorrow. Apple Store says it’s still coming tomorrow. Im now not sure it’ll arrive tomorrow..

Has your status changed from ‘label created’ yet?
