New bands

Are the new bands like the watches in that they aren’t officially released until Friday? If so, they won’t show stock availability until then.
I get that message too, I am assuming because the Apple Stores in California are closed (the ones in my area are anyway)
It's the same for the stores in NYC that are open. All the new bands say "currently unavailable." Once they're in stock I'm going to check them out in person.
Shockingly...our store in California reopened. I might go see if they have new bands on Friday. Was thinking that maybe they just don’t to encourage people to run in there for bands.
Just ordered a braided band and not delivering for more than 2 months. 
Solo loops are featured in some of these videos:

and they look pretty comfy.
Might have to venture to a store to try out the fit.

Ordered a solo as well as the braided...solo is arriving at my house early next week (a little better than waiting 8 weeks for the braided)
I loved seeing the Solo Loop vs the Braided Solo Loop. My braided solo loop in Atlantic Blue arrives tomorrow!Solo loops are featured in some of these videos:

I think it happens sometime after midnight and before the store opens.
oooo...nice...thought about the blue, but went with the green for both my solo and braided since it's the color I have now with my sports band. Green braided is the one that has me waiting 8-9 weeks.
These new woven bands are sharp looking, but non-adjustable. Gotta get the sizing right. I downloaded/cut out the guide and I'm a size 12, but I want to wait and see them in person before spending $100.
It’s much easier for me to just return the band and order another than to make an appointment and drive over an hour to try to see one in person. But I don’t shop in person for anything these days.
I did the old "wrap a piece of paper around your wrist and measure it" method. I'm always nervous those printed tools will not print properly.
Trying that now though to see if they match...hah (should have done that earlier)
EDIT: Whew...they match!

Did you click on the sizing guide and print the measuring strip? There is no conversion there, you just match up to a size And order that
I don’t have a printer so I did it with a ruler. I typed in the inches and it gave me the size. But when I typed in the equivalent cm it said I did not fit the bands.
Which site are you using?
I used a measuring tape...just concerned this isn't all figured out yet, why I'm going to the store monday.
What was your inches measurement? What did you use for centimeters?

My Solo Loop arrived this morning. I love it but it's too big. My wrist measures almost exactly 6 inches so I got the size 6. Returning it, and not sure if I should size down 1 or 2 sizes. Making an appointment to go to my local store (which just reopened but by appointment only) to try on the other sizes.
Other than the size, I love how it feels. No buckle bump is an awesome thing.

My Citrus Solo arrived today. I ordered the 7. It is very comfortable, more so than the sport band or sport loop. I think I will need to return it for a size 6. It is just a little bit too big.
