For whatever reason it missed the flight out this morning, it’ll get rearranged by DHL for next available flight option, hopefully in UK for delivery on Monday.
Yeah, we live together. I've only ever had UPS deliver my Apple products before, so the DHL experience has been less than ideal.
Is yours out for delivery. Mine also coming from Leeds. Here’s the tracking times for my delivery.

Yeah. What a joke though. Six days from China to Amsterdam, and to try and go from there my address in under a day
Thats what I hate about friday deliveries. If it doesn't arrive then its another three days to wait.
Me: DHL / Eindhoven hole. Tracking last updated 18th. Apple website says 28th.
Just spoke to Apple, where the support staff checked internal tracking to confirm that my watch landed in Netherlands on the 23rd. They stated that DHL tracking is behind, and likely won't be updated until the watch lands in the UK.
Looks like the estimated 28th is going to be accurate.

If it makes you feel any better, my wife ordered a solo loop (although, a silicone one). Used a sewing tape measure, and entered the measurement into Apple's strap size tool. She says it's perfect.
That's good to know. Thanks for finding out and reporting it back here. I must say, you're doing a better job of tracking our Eindhoven watches than DHL's tracking system! Gives me hope for that 28th delivery date.
Spoke to DHL (we ship at lot at work so I went to through that enquiry line) again after my shipment too went on hold, and they really don’t seem to have a clue where my watch (and I imagine others!) are still - which is fairly worrying.
My hold location is Leipzig but they were still adamant it’s “probably” in the UK and the tracker just uses the last location it had.
They didn’t say this in as many words but I got the impression they’ve just shoved holds on everyone because their tracking has gone tits up and they don’t know whose is where. I suspect it will be Monday now before they manage to sort it, so annoying.

Does anyone else's package not have an "estimated delivery" on the DHL tracking page? I just realized that some people on here have an "estimated delivery" in the upper right corner of their DHL tracking page but I don't. It just says "1 piece" and nothing above that. ("shipment information received" crew, Eindhoven)
No, my flight from Germany happened overnight. It was ‘on hold’ at Heathrow this morning around 6AM.
Yeah, same here. No official DHL delivery estimation for mine either. I'm also part of the "shipment information received" Eindhoven crew. I'm not taking too much notice of that though and relying on apples estimation of the 28th.
Just received an email from Apple that my delivery might be delayed.... Stuck in Leipzig.
Wish I was stuck in Germany, Octoberfest....🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
