European Apple Watch Series 3 Pre-Order Thread

Cancelled my order tonight. All the major reviews are slatting battery life and connectivity issues. Not paying £649 for that
I placed my order for ‘Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular, 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Soft Sport Band’ within seconds of the Apple Store (iOS App) going live (despite the item having a 2-3 week delivery date, which I assumed was an error); I have confirmed this order time with an Apple Representative (live chat): “... it’s showing as order processed at 2017/09/15 08:02:16 GMT...”
I checked delivery dates for all available configurations of Apple Watch Series 3 immediately after placing my order. The ONLY configuration which was not available for delivery on 22/09 (at that time ~08:03 GMT) was ’Apple Watch Series 3 GPS + Cellular, 42mm Stainless Steel Case with Soft Sport Band’.
I received my confirmation email at 08:02 GMT which confirmed that the ‘Items to be Dispatched’ will be dispatched in ‘2-3 weeks’, with a delivery estimate of ‘9 Oct - 16 Oct by Standard Shipping’.
This Apple Representative also stated that: “... I’ve checked and all versions of Apple Watch were available for pre-order for delivery in the UK on the 22nd...”
I asked her to confirm this, and she responded: “Yes! All configurations were available (as I checked with my colleagues here to be sure).”
As of 22:00 GMT on 20/09/17, my card has not been charged, and my order has not progressed.
The Apple Representative did go on to say that: “...we will be working to prioritise orders in the time that they came in, so if we can get this order out to you faster, we will!”
Exactly the same issue, I ordered the Series 3 LTE SS 42mm with the white sports band via the app, I received the confirmation email at 8:02am and yet my delivery is also 9 Oct - 16 Oct
So far my order is still says "order in progress".
Yep, still preparing for shipment.
I swear if I had £1 for every time I’ve opened the Apple Store app this week, I could pay off my mortgage.

Mine is scheduled for 25th-27th Sept and still saying processing so don’t hold your breathExactly the same issue, I ordered the Series 3 LTE SS 42mm with the white sports band via the app, I received the confirmation email at 8:02am and yet my delivery is also 9 Oct - 16 Oct

I am "impressed" about those people who cancel the order because of some reviews. It's clear that some reviewers don't get the 18 hours a day.. its because they are not using it as we would use it typically. At first you use it more, even more so when reviewing. Hence battery life is lower.
And the LTE issue.. sorry, but this requires just a software fix that Apple quickly will deliver. Most carriers anyway offer 6 months of free subscription.
And last but not least: Apple has a very generous return policy. In the countries I am aware of, you can test it for 2 weeks and return if you don't like it, see the conditions on your country's Apple website.

UK here and just had a text from UKMAIL saying its being delivered tomorrow.

Hahah - me too but with opening the Apple store web page. My internet history looks like I've lent on an Apple key on the keyboard.
Nice to hear people getting texts from UK Mail.
Should get mine very soon then.
Can anyone who has a tracking number now confirm if there is any link to their apple order such as phone number or order number like the guys in the US are able to see via UPS.
EDIT: AppStore now shows as dispatched

I'm scheduled to collect mine from an Apple Store in the UK at 11:00 am tomorrow... And it still says order in progress! Though my PayPal is still showing the pending payment been taken, rather than just authorised as it was when I first made the order.
