It honestly sounds like a hit or a miss if you are lucky or not with the store inventory.

Blah my watch didn’t move all weekend in China and now my Wednesday delivery date says check back tomorrow for an updated time. Growl!
That's been the usual since the Ti models came out - light gray for the natural Ti and dark gray for the SBTi, with a titanium pin matching the color of the watch.
It's listed in the "Whats in the box" as you add it to your cart.
Oh boy it just updated and says it’s coming on Tuesday! One day earlier. This is suspicious but I’m hopeful!
I probably haven't had enough coffee yet, but if you're on the monthly AC payment plan you can keep up AC as long as you want to pay for it - probably the cost over three years would be the same? (The up-front payment is slightly cheaper than the monthly rate so if you compare the AW Edition AC price paid one-time for three years to any set of numbers for the SS/alu watches the Ti price would be less.)
Yes, now that monthly AC+ can be extended in the US you're able to maintain longer coverage on other models, though that didn't become a thing until a few months ago and it also may not necessarily apply to other nations.
Note though that monthly AC+ cannot be transferred if you sell the watch, while prepaid AC+ follows the device (last I checked).
That's what I remember, too. You also have the option to transfer or get a refund, so there's a nice bit of optionality there.
The space black ti isn't brushed. It's a Matte black. Almost looks like plastic. It's pure black. Not a space color.
My order has been stuck on this status since last Friday. Apple says that it delivers this Thursday. Is this any accurate? I am in Australia and normally parcels from China takes 1 day to get to Sydney and then another day to get to my city before it’s out for delivery.
Honestly I wouldn't rely on any date unless its been cleared by government agency. It's not moving anywhere until that happens. Once I got that it moved pretty fast.
So this is how Apple does shipments in Australia. Although I have 0 status updates, I talked to this lady at DHL. She told me that it was currently on its way to Singapore before arriving in Australia, however that extra info cannot be disclosed on my tracking number provided by Apple.
Dunno about Australia, but in the US they don't list inventory online when there's less than a certain number in the store. Have you confirmed that the actual stores have no stock, or just that the online ordering system doesn't show stock?
Also - and again in the US, dunno about Australia - the Ti models aren't stocked in every store, just certain flagship (or some term) stores.

The SB looks more grey or like the graphite color than black in my opinion.That’s one reason why I decided against SBTi and went for SSG instead. I compared them both in store on launch day. I was sure I’d go for Ti because I usually prefer a matte understated look. I remember the SBTi Series 5 a friend had and it felt so premium compared to my SG Al S5. But this years Ti Apple Watch couldn’t convince me. Honestly, if there wouldn’t be the SSG I’d prefer the midnight Al over this years SBTi. The finish doesn’t feel as premium to me as it used to be and should be for the price. Just my personal taste.
Enjoy your beautiful Watch and keep us updated how the DLC coating holds up!
Its exactly the same as the last 2 years though. Doesn't look like anything has changed. I would go midnight AL but no sapphire is a no go for me. I had the graphite last year and it scratched easily. So for me the SB Ti is the better option because of the DLC and the lightness of it during fitness compared to the SS.
Subjective perception may trump objective fact (really, not being facetious), but the weight difference of the 45mm Ti vs SS is zero point two ounces (0.02 oz) or 6 grams if you are on the metric system.
6.4gm is 0.22oz not 0.02oz.
Having owned SS S5 & Ti S6, I'll say that you can definitely discern the weight difference. Particularly during a workout that involves arm swinging/motion.
That said, the weight differences between Al, SS, and Ti haven't had any meaningful impact on my workouts.
When I was younger I used to wear those sand filled wristbands on every workout. They were 1 kg each. In the beginning it was a pain in the a** running 10 km daily with the added weight, but soon I got used to it. I don’t think the few more grams the SS weighs are worth worrying about.
