MERGED: Straps now in stock in Apple Stores

[CarloVonSexron]

I called Fashion Valley, CA location and rep said they're only available online. She obviously doesn't frequent the forum lol.

Haha, yeah. I was in there about 90 minutes ago and they had Sport in black (both pin colors), blue, and green, and one Classic Buckle that the guy brought out from the back. I didn't buy it.

They also got one Leather Loop in, but it sold like 10 minutes before I got there

Apple Store Victoria Gardens (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif) wouldn't give me a list of what they had entirely, but this is what I could confirm over the phone as of 3PM local time:

Sport: Green 42mm (limited)

Regular: Milanese 42mm (limited), NO Leather Loops

Apple Store Brea Mall (Brea, Calif) stock as of 3PM local time:

Sport: Black (size unknown), 2 Green 38mm (confirmed)

Regular: may have a few Milanese and 1 or 2 Classic Buckles (unknown sizes)

My contribution for the day. I tried to call the Pasadena store but I wasn't gonna wait in a queue 3 deep.

Park Meadows in Denver has Sport bands in stock, they aren't on the sales floor you have to ask. They had limited quantities of all sport bands, no other types.

Soho NYC has sports bands on display. I got a leather loop by asking one of the staff members.

North Michigan store in Chicago has most of the bands. I just picked up a milanese, and I saw leather loops and classic buckles as well in the inventories. Worth calling to check if you're eager to get a band in Chicago area.

Calling is useless because you end up calling a universal phone line that is applicable for every store.

Only way to know for sure is to visit the store.

I'd like to know too!

Apple Store Park City (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) has Black, Blue, Green, and White in 38mm and 42mm.

I just picked up a green band for my 42mm Space Grey!!!

You can call the direct line and say "manager", the robot will instantly connect to to someone. When I called, the staff said he was not supposed to give inventory information over phone but he still confirmed there was milanese.

Just ask for the actual store. The specialist will transfer you directly.

Maryland/va update for bands

Just another friendly MD reminder i you don't wanna search a million threads;

every store has sport bands, I have heard/seen pink/white/blue/black in both sizes

some stores have, and I saw at one, the classic buckle in whatever flavors they offer (wasn't interested enough to ask since it didn't match my Space gray sport)

I heard that the apple store near tysons corner (call to verify) has the leather loops as well. I really wanted a blue leather loop but wasn't going to drive an extra 45 min and end up not liking it, so 2 new sports for 50$ cheaper than one loop. Now just wait for click!

Cool thanks, might stop in today and see what they have.

Can someone respond via quite. Does the nyc store have any watch bands?

 

[Bigck417]

Went to Plaza store in KC. Only sport bands on shelves, like most places. Asked and they had some leather loops (black) and one classic buckle (which I did a band swap for). You HAVE to ask for the premium bands in most places, and even then it seemed like some of the employees didn't know about them.

42 or 38 milanese?

Answered my own question by checking your profile. Got my 42 milanese at north michigan ave in chicago!

 

[dsa420]

Santa Monica has Milanese Loop 42

 

[PTVMan]

I've called the two stores closest to me - Madison and Milwaukee - and both seem to be surprised that they have stock. The Milwaukee Mayfair store has "a few Leather Loop" bands but won't hold one for me, despite it being a 75-mile drive. The manager even said that he wouldn't risk the drive because the bands will likely be sold out by the time I get there. And of course personal pickup isn't an option either. Nuts.

 

[bruinsrme]

38mm white blue green
42mm black white blue
All stainless steel pins.
As of 1pm Saturday
