Anyone know anywhere that has stock of the Braided solo loop in the UK? Looks like the earliest from Apple is first week of Jan 2021 😬

I ended up finding one at the local Apple Store and cancelled the 2 orders that I made back in September. The size 6 feels comfortable and not tight fit.

Westfield White City has few different colours and sizes
Thanks. I ended up picking one up at my local store. When I first saw the price of the Braided solo loop I thought jeeez, no way. Having seen and used it in person it really is super nice. Very comfortable and good looking.

Ordered a green braided loop size 5 on Sep 22... still no progress.

You may see movement soon, I ordered the 44mm charcoal braided solo loop size 6 on the 26th Sep and just received the shipment email from Apple that its being delivered on Mon 16th. Would love to know what the hold up is for these bands as almost every colour and size is pretty much a 2 month wait :oops:

Apple has priorities. They are probably working on more emojis

The braided watch band I ordered from Apple almost two months ago ended up arriving today, same time as my new 12 max so that was great timing 😄
Same here, my blue one arrived this morning totally out of the, um, blue.

The green one I picked up in store has been one of my favourite, most comfortable bands to wear, so it will be nice to have an alternative colour now.

LOS ANGELES BABY!!
I ordered my charcoal size 8 which arrived today. Needless to say, it’s too big. Need size 7. Contacted apple to do exchange. Hopefully will come sooner than the 2 months I waited to get it.

Quoting myself for timeframe ref. as APPL notified me today mine's shipped & arrives Wed., so very close to their original del. date, who knew?

What size braided loop you after ? 44 or 40. Apple stores at the oracle/ white city/ regent street have quite a few mostly 40 mm though. I ordered 44mm green and was told 6-8 weeks wait. Couldn’t be arsed, so went for the blue instead. It’s a size 6 and I am liking it so far.

I picked up a blue 44mm it’s real comfortable. Haven’t seen any black/green locally though

Ah cool !
I got the blue one too. Mine is 44mm at size 6 , which is immensely hard to find. Currently there is only pink , blue and red in stock for size 6 44mm.

Late to the party... I ordered a 44mm Charcoal Braided Solo Loop on November 1st and the ETA is January 1st. 😐
Mine ended up be delivered on December 15th, a few weeks early. 👍
Measured as a size 9 in store (same as my Solo Loop) and it fits great. I did not size down as some have suggested.
