A lot of dispatch alerts seem to be going out now, still nothing from Curry’s/PC World though :confused:
I’ve looked through previous orders I’ve had with PC World and some of them haven’t dispatched until late (7:30pm) and even then some haven’t been dispatched until the early hours of the morning (1:30am) and they’ve still arrived that day.

I got up at 9:30 and ordered from Very.

That’s life, eh?

Apple wouldn't load for me until 8.11 and by then all the stainless steel options had slipped. Checked Very and they had some 44mm stainless steels so grabbed one of those. Had an email from them saying it was dispatched today but the tracking doesn't show that it's actually with Royal Mail yet. Fingers crossed though!

Still need to find a 40mm SS for myself. Going to try my luck at the Apple Store tomorrow. Have two options I'd be happy with so will see. Going to do a little white magic tonight :D

Ooh that’s a bit more promising. Never pre-ordered with them before so don’t know what to expect. Thanks for letting me know.

Edit: who do they usually use for delivery?

OOOOOOH I spoke too soon!!

Snap! Mine is at the same RDC too! Surprised it's Tracked 24 rather than Special Delivery, but should still arrive tomorrow.

It will come through any minute - mine wasn't showing 30mins ago but is now. :)

I'm glad you managed to snag a SS - Very didn't have them for long! I kind of wanted the gold SS, but as Very didn't have it, the decision was made for me. I'm glad as I can't justify the cost, but tend to be an impulse buyer lol.

Mine shipped also, via UK Mail, to the DPD Parcel Wizard depot on Belfast.

DPD will then deliver to me on Monday to Ireland, as we cant get Stainless Steel here oddly. No carriers here cater for the cellular facility, so guess they just don't sell SS on the Irish Apple Store.

With Argos, do not get excited until you've received confirmation from Yodel etc.

Argos have previously been terrible at pre-orders. It wouldn't surprise me if they have zero stock.

I ordered with them for 21st Sep delivery, and Apple for mid-Oct delivery. Will be surprised if the Argos order gets here tomorrow.

If anyone's after a SS soon, Very now have it in stock!

https://www.very.co.uk/apple-watch-...eel-case-with-white-sport-band/1600304376.prd

Not sure it will arrive tomorrow, but could still be a quick way to get one.

Cheers for the tip! Just ordered on my Very account so let’s see what they say tomorrow. Can easily cancel.

That’s one on Apple due mid October and this one. I might also try my luck with JL for pickup tomorrow

Just out of curiosity when did the SS go live with Very?

Guess I was a bit too optimistic that those of us on 1-8th dates might see them move forward a tad by now :(.

I checked this morning and it wasn't there, so it's been added sometime this afternoon. No idea why I keep checking as I've already bought mine! :D

Hope it arrives quickly for you. I have pretty good faith in them delivering on the 22nd as promised. :)

Noticing with John Lewis they're listing all the stainless steel models as 'Coming Soon' and all except the 44mm SS silver also say 'Out of Stock'. Seems the UK only really got the silver stainless model in the first delivery. Curious to see if the Apple Stores themselves fare better in the morning..
