I just ordered a medium natural for delivery on Monday, 11/4. Also, the company I work for has an Apple discount benefit, the band is $179, basically 10% off through our benefit hub. Others might have the same benefit.
Got a tip for us?

Received this beautiful band today. Very comfortable. One thing i hat: the case of the watch scratches the connector of the band. Only can see it in correct sun light.
I’ve noticed that on other bands with metal lugs. I guess the watch has a harder finish than the lugs.
Also the back of the male connector will scratch because it sits on top of the bent band and constantly rubs.
No change so far for me for black medium titanium band. Hopefully the black bands are not far behind the natural bands.
Ordered on Thursday, paid 3 EUR for Saturday delivery and there it is!
Ordered on 26 September, and it has only just this morning finally changed to “preparing to ship”. Not actually shipped, mind. “Preparing” to ship. And then once it leaves Auckland, it will take a bare minimum of a week to arrive at my home.
The experience of buying Apple products in New Zealand is so maddeningly inconsistent.

Out of curiosity, are you wearing in a little loose? The looped side looks quite big. Just curious if that’s how it looks normally.
Yes. I decided to loosen up the band a little bit. First time was a bit too tight and left marks on my arms. I also have a painful arm, so I loosen it up a bit. For me it feels great. YMMV, though.
I'm tempted to get one of these bands since they’re readily available at my local Apple Store now. I've had one of those Milanese loop bands in the past with the magnetic clasp. I really liked it, but the magnet slid around too much for me, so it ended up just being a waste of money.
How's everyone like this new one with an actual clasp? I plan on using it as an 'everyday' band. Wearing it when I go out, to work, the gym. The blue/gray alpine loop is my current every day band. I try to avoid getting it wet because I hate the feeling of wet fabric.

Well, since I started this thread, I suppose I should provide an update. After watching for stock at every Apple Store within 250 miles of me, I sort of gave up. But, with stock replenished most everywhere by now, finally got around to picking one of these up. Very nice - a lot chunkier than the standard Milanese Loop. Fits with the Ultra very well!
Picked up today at Bologna (Italy) Apple Store. I think that could be the best band that i’ve ever had for AW.
Just curious for any Black Band owners, how is it holding up? Currently have the Space Black DLC Milannse and Link Braclets whose finishes have held up very well. As I understand it, this band is PVD/not DLC so shouldnt be as durable, is that true and how has the black coating held up? Would love to get this band but definetely wouldnt want silver peaking through
after 2 weeks I have no scuffs on my Band and I wear it All Day in every situation. Same like the AW Ultra 2. It is holding up very well since day 1. Except on the AW the Black ring around the Display. But mine is not as bad as on a few pictures I saw online even I hit the wall a few times.
After few days I can say that is really comfortable: I use it on the right daily, changing on the left during running. Easy peasy to change the size when you understand how the regulation works. Light for both the use. I really really appreciate it.
