Finally arrived! Very excited about how it looks with my stainless steel link bracelet. The small band barely makes it over my hand but works otherwise and the G hook isn’t on the bottom of my wrist.
 
the idea of ordering the apple watch with small band worked to perfection, got my watch in a week, instead of months. Going to sell small band, got band i wanted from apple.
 
I saw that some people were able to as long as they didn’t open the packaging with the band. I would ask for a manager since they have to override the transaction.
Worth a shot I reckon I will try to do the same lol.
 
Verizon appears to have all trail loops available in all sizes for delivery by Monday or tomorrow for extra except M/L for black/grey.

Let us know if it worked for you.
Thank you so much, I’m still seeing eta of 12/6, even after switching to a laptop. Yea I’ve tired a few different browsers and Verizon’s app and everything is showing me 12/9 back order. Verizon needs to fix their website/app.

The S/M but it also shows 12/6 across the board for all options. I swear it’s just their website glitching.

Called customer support and told them I wanted my watch as soon as possible and they sped up my shipping and it shipped today.

So I called customer support today and I got screwed around by “techs” until I finally got a SM black/grey setup for delivery tomorrow.

Went ahead and got one myself, and asked them to waive/credit my account for Saturday delivery too. I need a M/L size trail loop so will go to Apple tomorrow to see if they exchange it for me lol. Enjoy your watch and happy I could help.

So I placed an order on Sunday for the ultra with a white ocean band, but I saw a number of Apple stores near me had the watch in stock and wondered why Verizon was backordered for months. I did some searching and came upon this thread. I decided to call Verizon like some of you above to try and get an earlier delivery. The customer service rep went on to say that a number of the watches/bands were "in stock." It does seem like the Verizon site is a glitch as it shows every option is on back order until Dec 9. The rep said this is untrue and went on to name a number of bands she was showing in stock. I canceled my order for the white ocean and placed one for the blue/gray trail loop. It currently says delivery date will be provided shortly so I'll update this thread if I get a shipping date soon (I should if it is actually in stock like the rep said).
 
This happens most times.

You would think its an isolated instance.
You would surely get your order processed.

UPDATE:

I already received tracking within a few hours.


If you are placing an AW Ultra order through Verizon, DO NOT place online. Call them and ask what bands are in stock first and have them place the order for you.

Also, if you already have an order I would call and ask them to update the shipping/tell them you need it sooner.


Good luck all
