Hmm I wonder when they'll be available to walk in and purchase in shops in the UK...? I rang Apple today and they checked my local shops and said they had no stock.
I just got mine from the Brighton store in the UK! They said they had just got quite a few of them in stock and someone had bought the black milanese loop before me.

King of Prussia, PA has some colors of the nylon bands in stock. I didn't check for the Milanese or any others. I got the gold/blue and pearl in 42 mm.

Dying here for some up-close shots of the nylon bands. Especially torn between scuba blue and pearl.

Hey,
The Regents Street Apple Store had a delivery about 3pm today. My partner was in the area and picked me up a Black Woven Nylon band.

Yesterday I noticed the Apple website had a double tour Hermes band on a model that hadn't been released. Today i noticed a photo shot of a Woven band with gold aluminum buckle hardware on it:

I ordered a Scuba Blue 42mm almost as soon as the store went back up, delivery set to be 1 April. The Royal Blue was the only one showing shipping immediately.
Ah ok then. Maybe they had the most stock of that Royal blue cause they anticipated it being popular.

I spoke to an employee and they said they'll start selling them tomorrow. I ordered it online anyway but it says 1-2 week shipping, so I'll cancel it if my store gets it.

I didn't check availability but the Regent Street store has a good selection of the new bands out for people to try. I really like the new royal blue sport strap and the nylon ones are much nicer than I'd expected. There seemed to be a lot of activity in the Watch area (more than usual although it's hard to judge given that the store is temporarily smaller than usual).

Not true, they were all 1 business day as the store opened. I have three different colours being delivered tomorrow.

Apple Store in NYC had nylon bands, just not the one I wanted in stock (was told they sold out earlier in the day). I was also told to check back tomorrow, as they get daily shipments.

Exactly. When I went to order one, it listed 5-6 weeks. :mad:

I called two stores near me and they claim not to have any and don't know when they will be getting them. Seems to be par for the course for my watch.

Definitely is frustrating, I got 1-2 weeks on my Scuba Blue. Couldn't get to the store anyway, so even if they did have it, wouldn't matter to me. Ah well, at least it's just the band, last year I remember waiting impatiently for the Watch itself!

Maybe I wasn't quick enough! Strange, I ordered it before 8pm and they'd already slipped. At least that gives me hope that some of the stores might have the other colours.

Just been into Bluewater store and bought a 42mm Royal Blue Nylon Band!

I can't describe how nice they actually are in the flesh. The nylon is so soft and looks perfect.

My nearest! Do you happen to know if the pearl one was there?

I haven't called the closest store directly but there is no store pickup showing in the Apple Store app. Shipping on them is 2 - 3 weeks. I want the aqua blue one for my rose gold watch, I think it'll look nice!
If you end up getting that one, would you mind posting a pic or two? I've been eyeballing it myself, but leaning toward the pink one for my first nylon band.

How do you like the color? I have been debating this one, but in some photos (particularly on Apple's website) it looks a bit purple. I have noticed in the past with some of the Sports Bands that the colors on the website and packaging differ slightly from the actual color of the bands.

They did have the pearl one! I got the last Royal Blue. They also had Pearl and Black in stock.

I really like it actually. Thought I would either get the Black or Scuba Blue, but the Royal Blue colours work really well.

Picked up the black, white and navy blue nylon ones so far from my local store. I have photos in another thread :)
