What’s your arrival date! It’s been too long?
It’s been wayyyyyyy tooooooo looooonnggg. I ordered on launch day, got ordered placed within 5-7 min and was stuck with Nov 2-9 delivery. Card got charged last night, though and now ‘preparing to ship’. I’m guessing next weekend or beginning of that next week.

Finding the northern blue a little to light in color, nice band though.

Might be sold on dark cherry. 👌

Found this video of all things
- here’s a snap of the combo. Just for curiosity. 🤷🏻‍♂️:

I ordered a Lavender solo loop. I didn't think that would have delayed it, but who knows? I should have gone with a more basic band, so I could have gotten my watch on launch day, but I couldn't decide on the band lol
I also ordered the same time as you - Oct. 8, about 7 minutes in. Got a delivery date of Oct 25 - Nov 1. No movement at all yet. Blue 45 mm cellular - Abyss Blue sport band. At the time it seemed like a combo that would ship right out, as it was nothing fancy. So the "basic band" theory didn't work out for me. 😃

That's all I did and they exchanged it with no questions. It was within the 2 week return period, but they didn't have to take it back so I was happy with their response.

I just went to the Apple Store and they did the same. All I did was show them that the band was very loose at the top. :)

Thank you

I'm going to need a lot of good luck sprinkles on me for tomorrow! Going to try and walk in to the nearest Apple store tomorrow and see if they have the AW7 in stock. Apple's website still says it's completely out of stock at the store I'm planning on walking into tomorrow — but hopefully that just means the inventory doesn't match up with the store vs online and that they do have something in the store. But not keeping any high hopes (but sort of do). Fingers crossed!
Good luck. Get there before the store opens.

Dang! It’s been too long. Keep us posted. Can’t wait. The stupid band delayed your shipment ugh!

No way I could ever use a leather band, and wouldn't want to be changing bands 10 times a day lol. Nike black sport loop is it for me.
Maybe I’m the oddball then. Once I put my watch on in the morning I don’t even think about the leather link and I wash my hands frequently throughout the day as well as washing dishes, etc. If I feel that too much water is on my band, I wipe it off but otherwise I don’t even think about it—maybe because it’s sooo comfortable that I forget that I’m wearing it.
