Ah! Thank you guys for the FL update. I'm in Ocala and don't wanna make the drive without knowing for sure.
Every sport band model in stock in Michigan Avenue Apple Store here in Chicago! Got mine this evening.
Bought a blue sports band today at the Apple store in Sacramento, CA.
I actually am returning the leather loop I bought online because it just feels "weird". I prefer the sports band.

Heads up to all. Thousand Oaks, CA (The Oaks) is limited on supply. They have a couple 42mm Blue, 1 42mm green and a few 42mm black and white. A couple 38mm pink and a few 38mm blue and green. Apparently they have been selling like crazy. I just picked up a blue and green 42mm for my Space Grey.
Went to the Apple Store in Los Cerritos, CA - they had all colors of the Sport Bands, both sizes.
The Oak Brook Store (Illinois) has blue, black, white and green sports bands for both 38mm and 42mm. They also have the Classic Buckle and the black leather loop. They told me they had some 42mm Milanese Loop earlier today but they sold out, that I should go back tomorrow between 11am and 3pm and they should have more
Apple Store - Victoria Gardens (Rancho Cucamonga, California)
According to the employee on the floor they had 3 Sport and 2 regular bands in stock.
Green: 38mm (the one I wanted in 42 supposedly their shipment had some 42s but they were gone by the afternoon)
White: 38mm and 42mm
Blue: 38mm and 42mm
They also had the classic buckle and Milanese according to the employee but didn't say what sizes.

Haven't checked the Apple Store in Georgetown yet, but I went to Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax, VA and talked with one of the employees who mentioned that they just recieved boxes of Sport bands that they're going to start stocking on their shelves soon. Tyson's is probably also a good bet considering the amount of traffic it gets.
Reading (UK) store has some limited sport straps in. I just called! Unfortunately I want a leather loop or milanese loop

On that note, has anyone swung by Covent Garden or Regent Street? I will pop by later...
Called up and got stock info for Brent Cross, Regent Street and Westfield White City. All of them only had white, pink and blue sports when they opened this morning at 10am.
Hope that helps.
Thanks. After a black sports so I guess I'll have to wait a few days. If I can walk into a store and cancel my pre-order, that would be great.
Rang Regent Street and Westfield White City and they both on had sport bands in stock.
So I called the Apple Store in Westfield Stratford to check if they had any 38 mm Milanese loop bands as my order is still processing. They don't have any in stock at the Stratford store. They only have the sports bands for anyone is interested. However they kindly called Selfridges for me to check if they have any stock there which they do so I'm on my way to get one now.
Summit Mall Akron, OH HAS bands
Just called my local store (Summit Mall Akron, Ohio) and according to the store admin "we got a large shipment of many different types of bands this morning. They're not in our store inventory yet but will be for sale today". I'd imagine it's primarily sport bands but hoping to get my hands on a Milanese loop that wouldn't deliver until end of June if I keep my online order in place.
