Has Anyone Heard why the Gold Link Bracelet not Yet Available?

It's actually not my wrist hair but the hair on my head - it's long and if I bend down or something and my hair comes in contact with the watch band it would yank my hair out of my head - Ouch! :(

I never had that happen... and I do not wear my mesh bands or link bracelets daily. Most bands I wear are leather or silicone ones.

This is so long and we are now approaching the holiday season around the corner. What is up with the suppliers lately?

It was in their marketing materials and everything. Fake launch.

I hope it’s not like the defunct AirPower wireless charging + Apple Watch charging pad we all knew when iPhones first were capable of wireless charging and the pre-MagSafe days. It was scrapped a year later when the iPhone XS and iPhone XR came out due to concerns over its design flaws. If y’all watched the iPhone X event back in 2017 we saw this, but it never got released or listed on the Apple online store in any way. Also that time AirPods with wireless charging did not come out until a month or two before the iPhone 11s

I was really hyped for the gold link bracelet look, but getting bummed with the delay. strange that there's no update

that said I did manage to place an order on amazon when it popped up and for me it says expected December 12th-19th. I was hoping it would arrive sooner lol now I'm worried it won't even make that date

I might have gone with the natural titanium finish had I known beforehand

In my apple store they said they had 1 in stock, when they went and got it (see pic attached), their system said "not available for sale". Turns out it was their only 1 display model. They didn't know when it will come in stock.

Knew it would happen. It is unusual that you can try it on at the Apple Store, but you cannot buy it. They need to step up their production for the holiday season… the Apple Store near me is the same thing they have a 42mm gold link bracelet you can try it out but they don’t have any other than the display model in stock.

yeah I would have gotten another Hermes watch but I have wanted the Gold for so long that was the reason I went with the Gold and ordered with a ML thinking the link bracelet would be out by now.... :(

Same. Not sure why MacRumors is actively refusing to cover it as a story.

Y’all just stopped by the Apple Store earlier today. Asked a specialist bout the gold link bracelet update and he said that they do not carry these bands in stock in their stores, directed me to the Apple online store. He also said that the ones you see at the store are for trying it on only.

Great 👍 If it’s here on time, show some pics ! No one has ever got theirs yet so far in MR.

Every new Apple product has the shipping time slip initially when large amounts of orders occur up front.

Black Friday and Christmas is also another factor for shipping times.
