I hope your shipping time moves earlier. A trend I have been seeing is more than a few delays for the Nike versions in general. I still remember the S4 Nike thing - where pre-orders were separate from the other versions by a few weeks to a month. This round, although people were able to pre-order Nike AWs on the same day as everyone, it seems those are the pre-orders that are not updating and not shipping on time. Are you looking for any ISPUs? or just not in a rush really...I know you're still rocking the team Blue!

My Popov leather order came in today. Very pleased with the quality of the straps and presentation overall. Leather is very thick and seems like it’ll hold up nicely. Stitching is perfect as well.

Very pleased overall!

Very nice! Love the attention to details. I’m pretty sure it’s very comfortable. Hope you enjoy your AW and the new band.

I have been eyeing these bands! I definitely need one. Do you have a pic with one of them on your watch?

Check your local stores for ISPU. The website may not show, but they might have some in stock. Two of my local stores had Gold SS in stock late last week.

Did try that today, nothing in store at all.. this may vary from country to country I guess... I was told since the laucnh they had very few in stock... mainly red and green aluminium.

Lol me too. Wondering who I offended. Maybe the mods are Man U fans?

To stay on topic, I must admit that I am missing all the UPS tracking from China. Have the majority on here got theirs? Anyone been brought forward substantially from the original long dates?

I was originally set for 12/2 to 12/8, and I am now at 11/18 to 24/11. I guess it won't improve anymore considering I read here people for the 11/2 to 11/9 are just getting there watch shipped.
I did place another order on Amazon, just in case I get an earlier schedule (stating 11/4 for now, but can't be realy trusted until it's shipped )

Yep coming right now

I’ve been upgrading both iPhone and watch every year for a while now. I’ve been using Watch since Series 0, but skipped series 1. I wish Apple had an upgrade program for the watch because I don’t like wheeling my and my partner’s old watches every year.

Anyhow, my S7 arrived today! Going to bonk through the messed up upgrade UX where backup won’t show. Can’t believe they did not fix that from last year.

Sport loops are my favorite due to how comfy they are! Not sure if you heard but I have a bunch knockoffs 😆😆

You may have shared this before, but would you mind saying your fav knockoffs?

I’m looking for sport bands or other comfortable bands with quality as good as Apple’s if possible.

I bought the apple woven stretch Band last year and it stretched out by the end.

Last time I tried buying a knockoff sport band it was kinda thin and the wrong material.

 

[nasa25]

Here’s the two popov bands on wrist (tried to match the Watch face color with band stitching lol)

The bands fit nice and securely (click in nicely with no extra travel). The leather is so thick that it takes some effort to engage the pin into the appropriate hole but over time I’m guessing it’ll become less rigid. The smell of these bands is also pretty glorious lol

I think I paid about $140 cad/$115 usd for both of these bands. I definitely can’t complain lol

Edit - added back side of one of the bands to show leather a bit more

Nike 45mm Midnight with black Sport Loop ordered right on the first day.
Apple promised a delivery between 25th of October (today) and 2nd November.
But the order ist still on "processing". No charge on the card. No "Preparing for shipment". Nothing. At the same time I see your comments with watches coming earlier than expected ;-(

Anyone in the same boat?

I am. 😭 Oct 25 to Nov 1 wave. Ordered same time as you - first day - first 5 to 7 minutes. Blue 45 Cellular with Abyss Blue sport band. Still on processing. No pre-delivery test charge on my CC. Nothing on UPS.

But the good news is that a huge redwood tree came down yesterday missed my house by inches after we got 6" of needed rain. Davey Tree cut the tree up, so my dead end road is now open.

Unfortunately my next door neighbor wasn't as lucky. The tree came down in the middle of his house. It will be a long time before they can move back in.

The tree took down the power lines. Wasn't able to cook or even go out to pick anything up or get something delivered due to the road being closed. But this isn't my first rodeo - I have MRE's on hand for emergencies. Also have gear for outages. Electricity just came back after being out 20 hours!

Just replaced the food I lost in the last outage last Tuesday, which was stuff I got to replace the previous outage, which replaced the first outage stuff.

I absolutely love that band! I picked one up recently and it's now one of my favs!!!

I'm literally thinking about picking up one of the Nike bands. My sport loop bands obviously don't fit anymore since I went with the 41mm watch (originally had the 44mm S6 silver alum GPS watch). Can't decide between the white and the black Nike sport loop for my green alum A7 watch!

Did try that today, nothing in store at all.. this may vary from country to country I guess... I was told since the laucnh they had very few in stock... mainly red and green aluminium.

My local apple store had mainly green and red aluminum AW7 GPS watches as well. Low in stock but those were the two colors that were available. They told me that they usually restock every 3-4 weeks, but with the new AW7, they really have no idea since it's a new product and new inventory for AW7 and other new products are delivered at random times.

Thank you so much. You've sold me for sure. Looks very nice!!!! Definitely going to pick one up immediately.

The band AND the SSG are looking awesome. Nice combos. Looks like a great brand in Popov.

So sorry to hear. Good news it sounds like everyone is safe which is the most important thing.

I think the black would look really good with that dark green Al case because of how dark/black the metal looks in low light. Did you also see this Cargo Khaki color - which really is a bit of green more so than brown?

I did! I wasn't sure if the color in person would be a true cargo/green color or more of a green-brownish color. I didn't get a chance to see it in person yet. Which is why i'm debating on which color I should shoot for!

 

[DianaMR]

I thought of you a moment ago when I received my first knockoff from Amazon . I'm quite happy with it ! Very comfortable and I didn't want to pay $ 99 for that kind of band ..

I think I ordered the same one! Should come tomorrow.

Yeah, the pictures on Apple’s website/store have been pretty different from forum pictures here…here’s video that may help.

Best of luck! I‘m all about the Nike Sport Bands myself - and their Cargo Khaki Sport band has Olive Drab inlaid in the holes.

 

[nasa25]

Good call. I only wish they had more color options lol

Thanks.

Yep I’m super glad I went with the graphite SS this time around. It’s very versatile from a band match perspective.

Popov is definitely a nice find for sure. Now I gotta find somewhere to use that dope sticker they included lol.

Last time I tried buying a knockoff sport band it was kinda thin and the wrong material.

I can't speak on the sport bands as I haven't bought them in a while but I just bought some sport loops and milanese loop from eBay and the quality is actually pretty good - almost exactly same as the Apple ones. I do have some knockoff braided solo loop and leather link on the way as well.

I have the white, but now I think I need the black one as well.

 

[jsmitty]

I can’t believe they took the reflective fibers out. I quit watching the video there. I often run with mine in the dark morning hours.

 

[playaproved]

Think I might try out one of the Nike sport loops for running. Need to scoop some bands for the wife anyways, so I'll try it on at the  store.

Hey I just noticed they had some limited edition run shell cordovan bands. Out of the 4 colors they just have one green left in stock. I’d have copped but I already have an e3 green shell cordovan band
