I’ve got an order for the black Trail Loop in S/M From Amazon that says it will deliver Oct 17- Nov 6th. Based on the fact that Apple can’t even stock these I would imagine it will be closer to the end of the window if I’m lucky.

I will not disclose my exact location but in the Central area, I can say couple hours away from Chicago.

Edit: Also why is this relevant? I just don't understand why you guys are asking me this. Eventually the trail band itself will be available regardless of location.

So I ordered a black/grey trail loop last week and it was gong to be delivered 15 Nov to 22 Nov

I just checked the Apple Store and it's now delivering 7 Nov to 14 Nov.

No change in delivery dates to my original order...

In the UK it’s mid to late December now but most other bands seem readily available

My M/L Black/Grey Tail Loop is still showing early to mid November delivery.
I keep hoping it'll ship sooner but suspect not.
Not too much of an issue as I have plenty of choice until then with various Alpine Loops, a Nike Sport Loop, Milanese Loop and my newly arrived leather strap from Bandwerk. (I may have an issue! 😂🤣😂)

Lol wait what? How could this NOT be relevant? You literally just said Apple Store in your area will have them in stock today. So someone is asking on the slight chance they are in your area.

I’m confused….

As others have already replied, I was interested in where you found availability for the following: 1) to potentially alert others in that area know that there is stock and 2) to add data points to the pattern of where availability is popping up. On the latter, IIRC it seemed like others had mentioned some availability in Miami and New York City; was wondering if only big markets were getting them early.

I can certainly understand personal preference about disclosing (or not) personal information such as location of residence on a forum. Perhaps I should have phrased my question instead as “where did you pick it up?”, leaving open the possibility to respond with “I picked it up in [X] on a trip,” thus potentially helping others without revealing anything about yourself. Or responding generally as you did. I will keep both potential responses in mind for myself in the future!

In any case, it was not my intent to pry or offend. Cheers!

I just ordered the trail loop M/L from Verizon because it says it’ll ship by Oct 28th which is significantly better than the December timeframe Apple is giving me. We will see what happens but I am not holding my breath.

Was at the WTC Store in NYC and at least they have both sizes to try on. With my 180 mm wrist I can wear both but decided to go with S/M bc it’s not too big.

Yes it’s the M/L that I need

I just checked out of interest whether the S/M was available for in store pickup or order for an earlier date. They are now showing for delivery November 5th to 12th. So I preordered again and cancelled my original preorder which was still showing delivery for November 8th to 15th. The new preorder also includes Saturday delivery which the original didn’t. On a side note the M/L are now showing for delivery November 12th to 19th so you might want to do another preorder and cancel your original one if it’s still showing December shipping dates.

OOS now lol
I would keep checking. It has been floating in and out of stock over the past few days. It has remained on backorder, but sometimes Verizon will let you place the other and sometimes the button is grayed out.
It seems like they are getting them early, my black and orange loop was originally flagged up for early December. View attachment 2094890
Hmm...since neither Verizon nor Apple charge your card prior the item actually being shipped, I may just order it from Apple as well and see which one wins the race then cancel the other.
