Are they that different than the original nylon? I have cheap nylon bands I bought off eBay and they look just as good as the apple. They do have varying material and feel. Generally apple bands are higher quality but still.

These do not look like the Apple Trail bands for the Ultra. The look like the Alpine Loop.
You don't say? :rolleyes:.

I am currently seeing Oct 26th for the one I ordered on the first day. I want the one with the blue on the edge.

Yeah, the AUW + Trail Loop is delivering faster than the Trail Loops alone...which I guess makes sense from a sales point of view.

My order for ultra with trail loop changed to preparing to ship was scheduled Oct 18 to 25. Maybe it’s coming early?

Lucky! My AWU with the Blue/Gray trail loop with an eta of 10/20-27 is still in “processing”. I hope it ships early.

Interesting. I had a 10/20 date that was bumped to 10/14 last week (ordered as soon as the AS opened after the event). No movement since then. I ordered a S/M blue trail loop. What size/color did you get?

My Black/Grey Trail loop order has been bumped up a bit, between Nov 8 - Nov 15, hopefully it will get bumped up again. Previously it was estimated between mid November and early December.

Even my wife’s sport loop Watch 8, ordered on the first day is not scheduled till first week of October. Still says processing. It seems like Trail Loop/Sport Loop banded watches were all delayed. My Trail Loop Ultra is showing sometime around the middle of October. Both orders just show processing.

Seems like the black/grey Trail loop is quoted a later delivery compared to the blue/grey and yellow/beige.

Of the three trail loops I like the black/grey one the most due to the orange accent. Mine has moved up a little bit and is showing delivery for 9th Nov to 16th Nov. I do like the orange alpine loop I have now but I prefer the trail loop as it’s like my sport loops I have for my Series 5.
