Well my watch looks like it is stuck in China. Was picked up on Wednesday by DHL and no movement since 😭 Called the Hermes store on the Gold Coast and Brisbane and they don't stock anything apple related at all or I would have rushed to the store to pick one up 😭 I think this is going to be a long wait.........

This is soooo frustrating. At least the store in Sydney stocks the bands unlike Brisbane and gold coast.

Tempted to pick up a 41mm starlight nike to keep me happy until my hermes SS arrives. However I really don't like aluminium lol. I had also placed an order for a gold ss which I cancelled when my Hermes went preparing to ship. Regret cancelling that now, would probably have it today :(

I decided to treat myself and ordered a Hermes series 7 with the Fauve deployment band. Then, I ordered the Circuit Rouge H/Noir band. Now, I just ordered a noir deployment band.

I’m thinking I might have a problem. No one needs three expensive Watch bands, do they?

I also already own the SB Apple Link Bracelet. My band collection will be worth well over $2000. For Watch bands.

Please tell me I’m not crazy?

I’m up to 24+ Hermès bands and 4 more arriving tomorrow of this fall’s new colors. I think I even more Apple Sport bands including double back up of bands for Ceramic white, black and grey

I know a couple here have even more

You’re in good company.
 
The hermes website now says "shipping the order" :)
Hopefully they will add a tracking number.
No idea from where they are going to ship and how long it could take. But i'm guessing in Europe they might all ship from France?
 
anyone know if there is even 45mm double tour noir leather strap? i cant seem to find it

There use to be one available. It was removed from Hermes.com in the US, when the Apple Watch page was refreshed for the S7. I’m so mad at myself for not ordering when I saw it.
 
Same here to Berlin. DHL says 15.10. But it seems that the watch is still in the Netherlands. On your screenshot you also see only receivement ot the shipment information. No departure scan, no scan in Germany. Nothing…same here
It’s been 2 days and my DHL express Hermès S7 is still in China. No updates since it’s been picked up on Wednesday 🤦🏻‍♂️
 
In my current time zone, I went to the local Apple Store to check out Starlight color. No, can never do aluminum again. I'm keeping my gold aluminum AW6 because it's a cute pinkish gold and works as a daily workhorse. But going forward, I think my next watch will be Hermes. Just not sure this year or next.

Did try on the Double Tour bands and they did fit well on my wrist. Very soft quality leather, the entire look is tres chic. Blue Linen and Rouge H are my favorite colors. I thought I'd be fond of a basic brown like gold or fauve, but no. This is like love at first sight! ❤️❤️❤️

Yes, and Apple's website still says 21st. 😅

I am hoping mine will be scanned into Sydney/Brisbane over the weekend for delivery Monday. Surely our watches aren't still waiting for a flight out? DHL have their own planes don't they??

Everyone who doesn‘t get Bleu Lin and Rouge H in some form while they‘re available will kick themselves later on. Something prosaic like Fauve/Gold will always be available.

It’s weird cos last year my Hermès also came from China via TNT and it definitely didn’t sit in the original spot for 2 days.
I tried to ask others who are also getting theirs via DHL express to see if they didn’t get regular updates but no one has responded.
 
So last night I received an odd email and text message at 9 o’clock telling me that my shipment on my watch was delayed until Monday for some reason. Even though it’s at the local UPS center which is 10 minutes from my house it stated that. So I called UPS and they said they show it scheduled for delivery tomorrow and I said well what about this text message an email that I got that says it’s been rescheduled for Monday and she’s like no, it’s coming tomorrow. So now I’m hoping my watch is coming today. I guess I’ll find out more as the morning comes around to see if it’s loaded onto the delivery track. Now my biscuit band is going to be delivered today. But it’s just weird that I would get that message from UPS but no matter how I look it up on the app or on the website says my watch is still coming today. My delivery date is supposed to be today per Apple and there’s no delay at the center because it arrive there last night at 8 PM so the whole thing is just weird. I live in Los Angeles and its at my local Van Nuys station.

I feel like FedEx overpromises and UPS does what you’re describing with weird underpromises and erratic/frequent changes, especially to the window on the day.
