Your tracking page looks much more promising than mine. I’ve landed in Heathrow but it’s been put on hold and hasn’t reached a delivery depot yet.
My Graphite SS with Sport Loop due for delivery 2 October to 7 October is now preparing to ship. Seems slightly ahead of schedule. Good news for a Friday!
It may have not updated for some reason. Mine went to Heathrow (from luton - via leipzig) and has just left Heathrow about 10 mins ago?
After a brief bit of excitement when I saw it had ‘shipped’, I’ve found a week of staring at that same EINDHOVEN update quite an unfulfilling experience.
But I still keep going back to it... just in case!
Right now I’ve convinced myself that they’ve just forgotten to update it, and a little DHS man is surely going to knock on my door any second...
I think my regional hub is in Reading. It left 7:50, 45mins to 1hr to reading. If it's not updated by 9am I shall have to resist the urge to check the traffic on the M4, as at that point I will acknowledge I've become too obsessed.
Mine is due next Friday 2nd and shipped early yesterday morning. I dont expect the DHL shipping updates from Eindhoven to change until Monday or Tuesday and then hopefully I will receive it on the 1st
Hmm, mine matches that up to arriving at Leipzig at 2:31. I then show processed at 3:33 and departed at 4:54. So I'm hoping your tracking is just delayed, but it may be its on the next plane.
lol me too, I think I refresh the DHL page at least 50 times per day, and then 20 times the Apple web page and the Apple Store app. I'm so tired
Our watches arrived at the same time in Leipzig but yours departed quickly. Mine is still in Germany... I live in South Yorkshire, so East Midlands would be the next destination. This is really not a great online order experience. I should have picked up the watch from the local Apple store last Friday. Or John Lewis would have been faster.
The order I cancelled (because I picked up a watch from John Lewis) looks like this - DHL seem to think they’re delivering it today!
Assume I’ll be getting some return packaging as well...
So i received my watch yesterday and followed with a conversation with Apple to be told that the ‘Grey’ leather loop I received is in fact their new black?!!
I was given the options of:
1. Visit my local Apple store (2 hour round trip, inc. parking etc) and swap the strap for an alternative.
2. Return the complete order and place a new order- current lead time is late October.
I am now giving serious consideration to returning the order and keeping hold of my S5.
This doesn’t sit well with me as I have upgraded my watch as i do my phone- each new release.
For those with an S5, what was your justification for upgrading?

I've been in contact with Apple on numerous occasions to try to stop mine, they care enough about withdrawing a charger to save the world but not enough to stop pointless deliveries and collections.
I think once it arrives I'll have to contact apple (again) in order to get a label to have it returned to them. I'm pretty sure they have a policy of refusing to cancel because they know that some people will keep the item and that's enough to justify it to them.
Mine should look like this, but it’s still stuck on Processed At Leipzig. I don’t think I’ll get it today tbh. I hope it’s just a case of my tracking hasn’t updated yet
Just had mine delivered!
I was watching the tracking page which was sitting at "processed" at Heathrow when the van turned up. The driver said it wasn't scanning for some reason so I told him it might be because the tracking still said it was at Heathrow. He pressed a few buttons and scanned it again and handed me the watch, I then got 'with delivery courier' and 'delivered' notifications immediately.
Just letting you know to keep an eye out as if yours doesn't say it's with the courier, it might be ;-)

Another one this morning say its coming between 12:15 and 1:15
So very happy!

I’m so frustrated and jealous of these deliveries whilst I’m sat in the Eindhoven hole. I ordered within minutes of it going live.. ridiculous...

Has anyone had a silver 40mm delivered yet?

Another customer sat in Eindhoven hole here. No movement on DHL tracking since it was added to their system a week ago.
I spoke to Apple on the phone yesterday about cancelling my pre-order that’s on route.
They said I can refuse delivery at the door and it will automatically go back or if delivery is accepted, start a return process online and the courier will print a label for me when they come to collect.
I'm another one in the DHL Eindhoven group. Ordered minutes after the event and my last tracking update was last Friday at 20:52. My original delivery estimate was between 24th and 28th, but has since just become the 28th. I'm no expert in logistics, but I am skeptical that I will receive it on Monday if there isn't some sort of movement in the tracking today at some point. Maybe the excitement over this being my first apple watch has made me more impatient than usual ?
