Apple Watch Series 7 pre-order units begin shipping to customers

If you ordered an Apple Watch Series 7, there’s a good chance it’s en route.

A number of users have reported that their orders have shipped ahead of launch day on Friday, October 15.

Some customers who obtained a launch day delivery of the ‌Apple Watch Series 7‌ started to see their order switch to “Preparing to Ship” over the weekend and now orders are starting to ship. New Apple devices are typically marked as shipped as the release date approaches, even if the item itself has been in transit for some time.

The Apple Watch Series 7 offers larger displays and casing sizes as well as an S7 chip, improved durability, new color options for the aluminum models, and faster charging. Pre-orders opened on Friday, October 8, with the first units set to arrive one week later on Friday, October 15.

There were some indications that the launch of the ‌Apple Watch Series 7‌ may be delayed prior to its announcement and some customers are now facing delays of up to several months for new orders. Select Apple Store locations will likely have limited in-store availability of the new device starting this Friday.
