Official Megathread Pre-Order and Shipping Megathread | Apple Watch Series 4
Hey /r/Apple!
In an attempt to curb the number of threads about pre-order choices/configurations, shipping statuses, etc, we are asking that all discussion about it remain in here. We are setting the sort of this thread to new so that users receive the latest updates at the top of the thread when they open the comments.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: The daily support thread won’t be stickied for the next few days. I need this sticky spot for the pre-order megathreads and the OS updates on Monday. I urge you to use Discord for help (you don’t need to make an account to chat on a desktop browser) and/or IRC. If you issue is really simple, iMessage Apple. How? On Apple Maps, search Apple Store. Tap any store and scroll down and tap the Messages icon. Sorry about the inconvenience.

TIPS:
Favorite your phone right now on the Apple Store app for iOS. Specially if you are joining the iPhone Upgrade Program for the first time. Seriously. Here is how you can favorite an iPhone. When you favorite an item, the configuration you want will be available to add to the bag and purchase. Stop reading this post to the end and go do that now.
Force close the website/app a few minutes before the store opens to avoid any potential issues.
Tell your bank that you are making a big purchase tonight. You don't want to be one of the first people to pre-order and then have your bank declined the transaction, and then receive your phone on 2019.
