Best Buy not updating their site. It just says "order processed". Had it set to pick up from the store to avoid porch pirates and hopefully finesse an employee or manager into trading the watch for some Bose QC Ultras.

I called the store where I'm picking it up from and it says 10/16.

No updating on my BB order either - still says I'll get it by release date Thu, Oct 12th
Mine is set to be delivered.

Noooooooooo!

I'm a little confused by what everyone else is saying their order status is showing for BB store pickup orders... Mine hasn't changed a bit since initially ordered on the 5th, staying steady with "Pre-ordered, We'll let you know when it's ready," whereas at the order page it said it would be available on release date (tomorrow). Is there somewhere else people are finding additional updated information?

@BS3 - pretty sure I'll regret asking, but what are all those things on the shelves in the background?

Either they had their phone delivered to work, or they collect tumblers.

Man, having it delivered to work would be turture and a huge distraction to me.

Least. Productive. Day. Ever.

For me it was the day I bought 72 cases for a phone I don't even have.

Hey, we have to practice holding the phone, right? I showed great restraint and only preordered three cases...and 12 screen protectors.

I collect Starbucks cups as another hobby

Mine is coming from Rancho Cucamonga, CA, FedEx

I absolutely LOVE that name: Rancho Cucamonga! It's so corney, it's wonderful! (I have no idea what a Cucamonga is, or means.)

 

[harbinger007]

The name "Cucamonga" may have been derived from a Shoshone word meaning "sandy place." The area, watered from mountain streams, was the site of a Native American settlement. The Mission San Gabriel established the Rancho Cucamonga as a site for grazing their cattle.

Maybe next year Google could have a "Cucamonga Beige" Pixel. Sand is kinda beigey, isn't it?

Just got my delivery ...wohoooo.

Yay!! Congratulations! Try that audio magic eraser. Game changing. Totally removed TV noise from my cat videos.

Gorgeous!!

Mine was on the porch when I got home! Props to UPS for hiding it! Was delivered just before noon edt.

Still no watch, but has moved up, showing delivery Friday-Monday.

I'm glad to see more people getting their phones delivered. The Belkin case is very nice and fits well, just like last year.

I'm pretty impressed with the phone so far. The transfer process has advanced and was done wirelessly with my 7 Pro. I really like the flat screen and rounded corners. It took a few tries to get my OG Google watch paired, but it's all good now. FPS works about the same, maybe a little better, I'm going to try the face unlock, since it's supposed to be more secure now.

Been on the phone a lot, with 4 hours of SOT and 55% battery left, starting at around 93%.

I ordered around 11:40pm on 10/6 and my package showed prepared to ship yesterday and just a bit ago shows it is shipped (awaiting pickup by FedEx). P8P Bay 512 GB, watch, Google case. Hopefully will arrive by this weekend as we have a family party planned for Sunday and would like to use it for some group photos.
