Oct 22 - Oct 29 Delivery Thread

[pcall1128]

Gold SS 44/Stone SB here, ordered last weekend have a 10/22 to 10/29 window. I haven’t found one of these models anywhere by me, been checking iStock & Best Buy. Anyone here have a similar window/model and see any movement?

Wow, 2 SS 44MM w/ White Sports Bands just showed up around noon about 2 hours from me and were snatched up in seconds! At least it looks like they are coming in slowly. Hopefully one will show up nearer to me. But that does show that it isn't just in the mornings when these things can pop up.

There's been plenty of 40mm around me but no 44mms. I have an SS 44mm w/ White Sports Band on order. I know I don't want the 40mm because then none of my old bands from my 42mm would fit.

Wow congrats! That’s exactly the one I’m looking for. The search continues!

If you have a local Apple Store nearby you might want to check their inventory. Aluminum watches are pretty available for walk in purchases as far as I've noticed. The fact that the delivery dates haven't continued to move up tells me they have production under control so maybe we will get these sooner!

Can you trade in your old series 1, 2, 3 in store or is that an online thing only?

I think you can do it in stores now too.

Folks have traded in both onlone and in-store

Cool, thank you. I’ll check inventory while I’m there then. I have a s4 on order, just the space grey with black band. Currently sitting at Oct 21-23 delivery but I’m going to Apple store Saturday night to replace the battery in my iPhone 7. Might as well bring my old watch and see if I can get it done this week rather than waiting a month. I really want to get my phone battery replaced for $29 before holiday (insane) season. I don’t go to malls or stores from Oct 1 until mid January. Traffic, lines, etc, are insane.

I just picked mine up at the store and was able to trade in my S3 for a refund.

I have 3 watches in the October 22 - 29th window. I've been checking Apple, Best Buy, Target a few times a day & Thursday, one of the watches became available in store at Best Buy. I grabbed that one & canceled the Apple order for it. Just now, Best Buy showed the other two available for shipping for delivery on October 3rd, so I placed orders for them. Once they ship from Best Buy, I'll cancel the other two Apple orders.

Quoting myself to say that the two Best Buy orders have shipped.

No dice for me. Was in store Sat night. They had no 44mm's, and said even if they had one I'd need to do an appointment to buy it.

October 23rd-30th Hermès edition here. No movement.

 

[Shimmanen]

I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been more movement on the silver aluminum versions.

 

[Anekdote]

No movement for my order also, space grey 44 mm aluminium.

Any EU buyers here? I have the feeling that US orders are beeing prefered.

The US do seem to be getting the majority of orders especially for the SS models. I still have over three weeks to wait on an express replacement which is totally nuts ☹️
Having said that, the 12-19 October orders are now starting to be shipped

 

[Anekdote]

Thanks to istocknow, I could snatch a 44mm space grey watch.

Now it's ready for pick up in the Apple store.

 

[edlex]

Well I got super lucky and got a SS 44mm w/white band at my local Apple Store! All that refreshing paid off! I just canceled my online order so hopefully that will help one of you guys. Good luck everybody!

 

[Shimmanen]

Credit card just got charged, and status changed to preparing to ship. Delivery date still the same.

 

[Bazooka-joe]

In the space of 24 hours my watch went from Processing to Preparing for dispatch, to dispatched and is now on its way to Shanghai and will be with me in the UK on Friday. Original date was 25th October - 1st November.

Wow that's great news! Looks like Apple finally got production ramped up! Looking forward to reading your opinions when you finally get them. This thing is really amazing!

Got notice that my "Nike+ Series 4 GPS + Cellular, 44mm Silver Aluminum Case with Pure Platinum/Black Nike Sport Band" shipped with 10/17 delivery date. Still waiting on movement of my wife's "Series 4 GPS + Cellular, 40mm Stainless Steel Case with White Sport Band"

Same here. Delivery date is how showing as 10/17.

Anyone else have a Oct 23-30 delivery date? A 1 day difference from the subject, but wondering if anyone with that date range has had any movement yet. Seems a good number of orders are showing up around a week early, so I was hoping for some movement before the weekend.
