After having it for a while. I actually didn’t like the graphite color.Why did you return the graphite?
Still sitting in "Preparing to Ship" for a week now and no UPS label created. Anyone know how long it typically is in that state?
In my area, Fedex is the best.Got my tracking number and got an email that its shipped early this morning. That was fast. Sadly its Fedex.
I dont have issues with fedex. Both fedex and ups is good here tho but i prefer upsIn my area, Fedex is the best.

Fedex tracking indicates that my SBTi 45 mm will be delivered this Friday. I hope that do be the case. Original estimates deliver date i was given when i ordered it said December 14-21. Definitely beats that
Wow that’s a fast turnaround. Congrats!Ordered on 11/24/21 with the 12/14 to 12-21 Estimated Date. Next day my card gets charged and status change to Preparing for shipment. e-mail from Apple that it is shipped on 11/26/21. It's going through Fedex and currently my Watch is in Memphis, TN. still needs to go through customs. Deliveries app is staying it would be delivered this Friday.
Watch I ordered is the SBTi 45 mm

It’s weird. I wonder if it’s the band. I choose the solo loop as the band.Same watch as you, but five days now on preparing to ship.

Yea I used stock sport loop (abyss Blue) as well.I used the stock sport loop tornado gray. (didn't care, I have my own bands)
I wish Apple would stop pairing bands to watches and let you buy the watch alone. Especially the Titanium, which has a basic band already included in the box. Forcing you to pair a band means you are getting two bands. What's the point?
I agree, especially after how much Apple stressed the eco-packaging** of the iPhone 13 (which when I got my phone I did a double take at how small the packaging was). Then you get this humongous packaging for the Apple Watch which one of their smaller products.Yea I used stock sport loop (abyss Blue) as well.
I agree. I even told Apple store employee's that they should send this info to Apple headquarters that Apple should not be selling a watch with the bands together. Rather they should sell it separately. For aluminum and ss watches, they always add an empty box inside the packaging (spacer). Because once you choose a band, the band is then replaced in that spacer. Not sure how that works for deliveries. But for in-store pick up at an apple store, they remove that spacer and replace it with the actual band you ordered with.
I really hope that in the future, Apple will sell the watch as a standalone without the band. I for one don't use those bands at all and moment I get them they stay unopened. I only unbox the watch and that's it.
You can do exactly that through the Apple Store. Just scroll down to "Apple Watch Studio".I was thinking if we could just mix and match so pick the watch you want in any configuration and then pick the band you want to go with it that way it will eliminate the band you don’t want having to sell it or recycle it and you get the exact configuration you want from the beginning.
