I’ve just had a DPD notification. Think it’s for my extra band though rather than the watch sadly!
I’m still on a delivery date for the 28th, so I guess I should give up on the idea of getting it tomorrow.
Just got a confirmation for delivery tomorrow text from DHL.
Apple Store status not updated yet!
Ordered a plain white sports band Stainless Steel 44mm within 15 mins of the Store opening after the event.

I'm the same. My guess only people who were seeing delivery for tomorrow were those people who were allocated stock that was already palleted and either in the UK or very much on it's way to the UK already. My guess is that everyone else will get to track their items from China.
Yep, it does seem that way. Has anyone who didn't have a ship date of tomorrow seen a shipped notification yet?
Those people with watches coming that will be arriving tomorrow, have Apple added the device to your account here yet? In the past they have, certainly with iPhones. Allows you to see the week of manufacture if that is of interest to anyone if you enter the serial number here. Geeky and a little pointless, but frankly when it comes to Apple pre-orders and frequenting a pre-order thread I think that's par for the course. 
I used to enjoy this. Not there but thought they stopped doing it some time ago with it only being viewable after initial setupThose people with watches coming that will be arriving tomorrow, have Apple added the device to your account here yet?

Mine shipped from China today via UPS. Says it will be here Wednesday. I confessed to Mrs AFB earlier!
Apple Watch Series 6 GPS + Cellular, 40mm Graphite Stainless Steel Case with Graphite Milanese Loop
I ordered the 44mm series 6 in gold through EE & it says at least 7 days. Feeling impatient as its my first watch, so am hoping to love it 😊
Ordered 12 hours after the presentation, looks like it's just shipped in time for tomorrow!
Many of the shipping delays aren't caused by the watch itself but certain band style/colour/size combinations that are in high demand and it probably doesn't help that the order page only gives you a handful of combinations that will likely sell out the fastest. The trick is to make your own custom watch case/band combinations in the Apple Watch Studio. Here, you can match any watch case with any strap you want, giving you access to combinations not available on the default screen as well as possibly finding sets that will ship sooner. That's how I managed to get a launch day watch hours after pre-orders went live.
gotta love the element inspector

It’s exactly what I did, but I ended up with a combination that feels weird to me.
Ordered right after the keynote and still stuck on preparing to ship
I did exactly the same, with the same watch configuration except mine is 44mm, and have the same delivery date. It’s the product red, I haven’t seen anyone getting one earlier...... yet
Someone in the delivery thread from the UK has his dispatch notice from DPD already 😢
