DPD haven’t yet given me a time slot for my delivery today, but it hasn’t left the depot either

System is down at Covent Garden store. People are being turned away and told to return later. Orders can’t be collected.

Metro Center also seem to be having issues. My collection slot has come and gone and they’re saying it’s not ready/in yet. Tried to get clarity on what ‘not in’ means but just got a vague reply.

Had a slot for 10-10:15. Still shown as processing, won't be making the journey to the store until it says ready!

Quite unusually for me, I got a pre-9am delivery for a change.

Quite happy. I ordered the same model I had of the Series 5 so I'm missing a little bit of a 'wow factor' but the bloody oxygen monitor works reliably!

Picked up Apple Watch 6 in Exeter today, got their very early, no need. Started getting busy around 9:00 am

Did not have ANY loop bands in the store.

Dispatched!

When processing, it said delivers 28 Sept. Now that it’s been dispatched, it’s updated to 25 Sept.

Interestingly it’s coming from the Netherlands via DHL, and not China via UPS. I am hopeful it can cross the channel a lot quicker than next Friday...

My 44mm Graphite with charcoal woven closed loop says delivery 24th to 28th, but has just shipped and is currently in the Netherlands with 25th as the delivery day.

Ordered about an hour or so after the event.

set it up on the train. They did mumble about their system having issues and I should come back. But after some persuasion they got one for me and I cancelled the reserved one in the shop.

My 24-28 September order moved from PFS to Dispatched and is now due next Friday 25th.

Track Shipment info also suggests it's coming by DHL - which is a first - from Eindhoven, Netherlands.

My 24-28 September order for a 44mm Graphite Stainless Steel Case with Cyprus Green Solo Loop (placed at 20:14 on the evening of release) has shipped.

Got the email from Apple at 10:42 this morning. Tracking link is for UPS, but tracking isn't live yet, message on the UPS page says "UPS could not locate the shipment details for this tracking number", imagine that will update soon to something a little more meaningful.

Delivery date on the Apple site is showing 25 September.

EDIT: Tracking link is now working, my watch is in Jiaxing, China.

Got it.
Once inside you realise how challenging this is for staff - launching a product that needs to be tried on whilst trying to maintain decent levels of social distancing and hygiene.
System issues coupled with staff not knowing what display models they did and didn’t have plus pressure to get you in and out quickly meant the usual buzz of buying in-store was killed.

Mine, like others here, was down for delivery on 28th September and I just got a despatch notification saying it's coming via DHL from the Netherlands and I'll have it on 25th.

Hopefully it will get here quicker than that though as it's only a few hours from the Netherlands ;-)
