Yeah I’ve got no idea either. Apple website now says coming soon. Tracking states it’s still in the Midlands but delivery today.

Mine still says its stuck in Germany but then I seem to be on a different flight to you as mine arrived in Germany a couple of hours after you. DHL still says delivery today. I cant get anything from Apple as they are now saying that delivery has gone back to the 2nd even thought their website still says today. DHL are a shambles.

This has been the most bizarre launch I can remember.

I’ve just had the added disappointment of a DHL van stopping in front of my house then driving off a minute later. You’ve got to be having a laugh!

If you are with DFS and then you need to allow 5 days for the watch to come from China to Europe. I am on my 6th day and no change to shipping notification as there is no tracking until it gets to Europe. So for all i know, my Graphite watch might have fallen out of the plane and is sitting at the bottom of the ocean or being fashioned on the wrist of a posing atlantic mackerel. Very frustrating

Looks like its shipping with UPS according to tracking that gave me a different delivery date yesterday, then to have no date today...

DHL are a complete mess. Still stuck in Germany for over 12 hours. Supposed to be delivered today. NO update on UPS tracking. Still says delivery today...yeah right. Apple website says delivery today. Spoke to Apple and they said its still in Germany and don't know why. Their internal system says it wont be delivered for another two days.
This is a total balls up.

Same here, but I had the delivery tomorrow.

Called DHL and they said the package lost last flight and will be charged in the next.

Just checked and the flight has just left Leipzig with our watches on. Hopefully we will see them tomorrow as they may get to the DHL delivery stations later tonight and delivered tomorrow. My status still says delivery today

[Bazooka-joe]

Cant find it but there is a DHL flight heading for East Midland Airport en route to New York. QY971. Tracking it now on Flightradar

I’m also searching in Flightradar24 xd but can’t find ant DHL flight to Spain. Maybe it will stop in another hub before Madrid.

No this one goes from Germany to the UK and then on to New York. DHL use a company called European Air something so try and look for that

My watch wasn’t due for delivery till the 8th, but had a text saying delivery is tomorrow.

 

[Bazooka-joe]

Mine has now reached East Midlands airport. Status now says "Shipment on Hold". I think it means that because its late in to the UK, its missed the bus. Hopefully will move tomorrow but I think it will be friday before i see it

At one point I’d have held out hope that with it being in the UK now, it would have a chance of getting to you tomorrow, but the way it’s going atm I wouldn’t put money on it!

I’m still down for delivery today! Saw another DHL van in the street at around 8pm so my hopes were dashed for the 5th or 6th time today.

That is unlucky to have DHL vans in your neighbourhood but no delivery. Well mine has now cleared at East Midlands and departed the facility so there is a fair chance of seeing it tomorrow

 

[KarimLeVallois]

So, Apple using DHL now, rather than UPS?

They use both. If you are really unlucky, you will get DHL

OK, time to pray then...

 

[Bazooka-joe]

Well my saga continues. Its now gone from East Midlands airport to Heathrow. No delivery date at all now.

 

[jfim88]

Finally! It’s coming today!

 

[Bazooka-joe]

Mine has finally arrived in my local depot but no delivery date so my thoughts are that it might have missed todays delivery slot so probably tomorrow

 

[arcticmonkeys]

Just a day ago the order was “Processing” and now it’s already in Hamburg! That was unexpectedly fast!

 

[Bazooka-joe]

With the courier....at last - Update - must have been first on his list as the doorbell rang two minutes after the DHL page updated

 

[jfim88]

Delivered!

 

[Bazooka-joe]

All done and set up with a transferred data plan. See you guys soon for the iPhone 12 order thread

Just a heads up, the watch I wanted was showing 8 weeks delivery with apple, I went to order on the apple app yesterday afternoon and it was in stock in store! Just been and collected it now. Was a bit worried about the sizing but they let me try it in store and it was fine.

The weird thing was I ordered a 6 which was fine. I tried the 5 and it felt identical!

So just keep checking! Seems dead sporadic.
