Wowza!! Love the box! Was hoping for the all black packaging along with the watch and the band. Pics! Mine is still in the air on its way for tomorrow. Can’t wait!

More pics. The sides of the black lugs of the strap have been polished to match the space black stainless steel finish.
OOOH it's gorgeous! I LOVE the packaging too.
I'm so excited to get mine.
And I finally see mine shipped! It’s been sitting in Nashville of all places -figured it was coming from overseas but I bet the preorders were in US already and that’s why my status didn’t change til today. Ios13 drops today too, and I always like to upgrade the OS before pairing a new watch. Now the countdown - can’t wait to see everyone’s pics! I like your enthusiasm zzzman
Lucky you! I pre-ordered within an hour of all Series 5 styles going live on the Apple site, and mine is in China.
I'm also a little concerned because while Apple has the correct address tied to my order, UPS has the wrong state. The ZIP is correct, so fingers crossed it arrives on or earlier than 9/26 as promised.
Mine will be stainless steel, however, so I wonder if perhaps the space black watches may have been produced earlier or separated somehow for shipment. Oh well. I can wait another week.
That is one sharp watch! Love how everything was done! Thanks for posting - while the rest of us wait for delivery or pickup. Congrats on you gorgeous new watch!
Mine shipped from China last year - it does make me wonder if they “pre-shipped” some of the black for the US. Phones are delivering today too from preorder and they go live on website and in stores today so this is one busy shipping time for Apple.
Do you have UPS MyChoice? It’s free to set up and maybe you could log in and make sure your address is correct with UPS or if not, you can then provide delivery instructions where you could say the state shows wrong. How frustrating, but zip is usually the determinant. Fingers crossed!
Thanks zzzman for being the first to show all of us eager waiters the watch and new faces! It really isn’t gorgeous.
Yes, I believe the ZIP code drives how the package is routed for delivery. I do have UPS MyChoice and can track the package's progress there (same issue with the incorrect state included in the delivery address - but at least it is tied to me as a customer).
I plan to call UPS customer service to double check that the ZIP code will be sufficient for delivery, once I see the package is stateside. I would hate for an inexperienced CS rep to misinterpret my question and reroute the package back to China to be relabeled. Paranoid, I guess. In general I have good service from UPS so I'm not especially worried. I was thrilled that the watch was shipped by UPS rather than FedEx (I ordered some other products from Apple along with the watch, which were shipped immediately by FedEx). I know it varies by area, FedEx are a nightmare in my city.
My shipment status has been updated to show delivery by end of business on Wednesday, so I'm happy to have the watch a day earlier than originally promised!
Mines is still in the same status (In preparation). Just called Hermes and they stated Series 5 was available from pre-order and that they haven't shipped from Apple. Should be receiving today and going out Monday and Tuesday...which seems to not be so true since people have already received tracking numbers for online orders. I'll be patient though...hopefully, something changes later today.

Ugh. So does Apple have to ship the Hermes, and then Hermes ships to you? I ordered one of the new bands from Hermes; it did not have a projected shipping date but the receipt stated "will ship after 9/20/19."
That's frustrating you have to wait longer. You'd think Apple could trust Hermes not to ship out early, and send them their inventory ahead of the 20th.
According to the rep that I spoke with, yes, they have to ship from Apple and then to the boutiques. It's so frustrating because I know there are people who have already received their tracking numbers so I guess it just depends on what boutique its shipping from and the order in which they received your order (just guessing). I'm trying to be patient but my poor arm feels so naked without it (lol). I've been wearing my Rolex watch but don't really like wearing it as an everyday watch or to work.
Very cool - glad it shows early. I’m with you, FedEx kind of stinks here, UPS is preferred and I can get a lot more info. Right now I’m tracking the UPS truck on a live map - love that feature!!! Still a 15 min drive away even if I was next, but probably will be this afternoon. Can’t wait to see and use an always on face!
