I was thinking of getting the black/grey trail loop as an additional band when I purchase my watch but now that I see it not sure If I will still get a addtional trail loop and just stick with the blue/grey trail loop that comes with the watch.
Got a tip for us?

Personally I think the Black/Grey is the better colour of the two and provides a nice contrast to the Titanium finish of the watch. The Blue/Grey one is very similar in colour to the watch. I also like the combo of the orange tab with the Black/Grey one and it matches the orange on the crown and the action button.
Ordered from Verizon and it shipped FedEx. Got to Houston yesterday, which is where I live, and for some reason was immediately sent to New Jersey. Amazon shipped my Trail Loop order last night and it looks like it going to beat the Verizon/FedEx order.
It does have a nice contrast. I ordered my S6 natural Ti with a graphite milanese band and it looked sharp.
I have a blue/grey from the TMob error and it looks nicer in person on the watch; enough so that I kept it.
And it's very comfortable.
Apple Stores on Long Island in New York have the Black Trail Loop in stock, just grabbed one for pickup at the Walt Whitman store!
In the Minneapolis area, they had all of the bands EXCEPT the black/grey trail loop in stock last weekend. It looks like most are sold out now, but if you order online you'll get it this Wednesday. The black/grey (both sizes) is still showing as late November.
I still find it odd that I was able to get the S/M black/grey trail loop through Verizon if Apple isn't shipping them for another 3 weeks! While I am grateful, that just feels wrong.

Finally picked up my Trail Loop. I was in NYC 2 weeks ago and had the opportunity to try on S/M , M/L and for me I think the S/M is the right choice.

For those that have the trail loop, have you noticed any issues of that pull tab catching on anything? I have a couple of sport loops on my previous watches that would occasionally snag on my pants/pocket etc as I'm walking causing it to open. Just curious if the trail loops are like this too?
I have one on order but won't get it until later this week.

The S/M Black/Grey Trail Loop is available for pick up today or tomorrow in most London stores. It may be available in other stores around the UK.

Good question.
To go along with...what is the preferred way of wearing it. Loop part at the top of the watch or at the bottom?
I prefer at the top b/c I like the look of it that way, although it seems easier to adjust the other way (esp the alpine loop)...
I have not had any issues with the tab catching on anything.
I’ve not had any issues with the tab. I quite like that Apple included it with the Trail Loops.
My black S/M Trail Loop came in yesterday and it is great. Always wore the sport loop with the old watches and this is an improved version of that. Love how the titanium lugs match the watch, which of course is what we are paying for.
Here in the U.K. my S/M black had a delivery between 7-14 Nov and has updated today to now say it delivers on the 3rd. So between that and store stock appearing yesterday, seems they produced them faster than anticipated.
Amazon (in the USA) has the S/M Black/Grey in stock
