I was a lo to pick up one of them today in the Apple Store in Rome.
It’s availability was a surprise since this morning was not available while today at 11, it was possible to order them online with today as pick up in store.
Mine is natural titanium and it matches very well with my AWU1. I find it lighter then my Steel link and not so easy to adjust.

Seems they are showing up everywhere except literally any store here in Florida. i have one on order that won’t be here until November. But if I lived in any other state I could just walk in and buy it. Wish they would fulfill orders with some of those 😭
I ordered mine (natural titanium, large) on September 9 and got an October 16-23 delivery timeframe. I’m in NYC and all local stores are showing November 13 availability.
Ordered it the first minute the store went live and got 15-22 for the Large one. Does not look like there where any Large ones in stock in stores.
Just got my Black with the watch in Small. Size is great for my wrist but it’s my hand/fist that’s large and makes it hard to put the watch on. Lol
I have to slide the band into the watch as i put it on. I tried the medium in store and it felt too big… so i dunno

Nice the store near me just got a large one for pickup. So canceled my online order and ordered the pickup one
Can't say i've ever measured. I usually go for S/M Sport bands and magnetic Milanese Loops. but this thing is all or nothing.
I think it works overall, but just need to put it on differently. I may go test drive a medium at the apple store this weekend again.
It's not the wrist size; it is the size of your fist. You need to push the open loop through the fist of your hand before you tighten the Ti Milanese loop. If you have a big hand and a slightly smaller wrist, it might not work for you.
It is best to go to apple store in person to try. The size of the band is printed on one of the two sliding mechanism(s) that goes inside the apple watch (I don't know what it is called). I went to apple store on launch day to trade in my S7 and to pick up the Ti band. The apple store employee and I were looking for the size of the band to confirm which one works for me. I ended up getting the large size.
My guess is that it should be shipping within a day or two. If there were supply shortages, we’d most likely hear about it by now.
i think it’ll actually look pretty good. I have the silver Ti Hermes series 10, and while the silver titanium color is obviously a bitt different than natural I thought it looked pretty nice, may order this band. Got to try it out at the local Apple Store.
I imagine the natural titanium watch would like even better with at least the shades matching if not the polished edge of the watch exactly.

Got tired of waiting till end of November for availability in the UK so I ordered an AliExpress one instead last week that just arrived today.
It's probably 90% similar. Impressed. Obviously it's Steel, not Ti.
Only visible differences are the release flaps that are pointier, and the indent on the adjusting clasp visible below.
Other than that it looks decent enough to wear for a month or so... Will update on durability. But for £20 instead of £200, well...
It's still $20 thrown out of the window for some Ali trash. The connector is not even correctly aligned and it looks cheap (because it is).
My friend got the one from AliExpress and the color was off imo. the ali one was too light and did not look good with the AWU.... I'm all for buying 3rd party bands and not paying the apple markup... But in this case had to suck it up and get the original. It looks so much better..... Plus I have a small wrist and the aliexpress one is one size fits all so it was big for me.... the clasp ended up all the way on the side near the watch.
yes I suppose as it’s not the same material a stainless steel band will never be able to match natural titanium which changes a bit from silvery to champagne depending on lighting.
The one I got is close enough, and again it’s only because the official Apple Store says 20th of November for delivery or in-store pickup and I didn’t want to wait that long.
At least this gives me a bit of time to see if I like it or not (I rather do at the moment) and will buy the real thing once it’s finally here.

I have 10/22-10/29 for an expected date. Not seen anything yet. Still sitting on processing, not even at “preparing to ship”.
Mine is Oct 9-16 and now says preparing to ship. I don't know what that means though because preparing to ship should literally take a minute. Pick it off the shelf, put it in a box, slap on a label.
