It's not because of that. Apple has a tendency to discontinue bands and introduce new ones. They've been doing that ever since the first Apple Watch release. I was going to buy the Nike nylon black band as the standard black nylon band I have is not pure black like the Nike one. I never got around to it and now the Nike one has been discontinued.

Yeah, they are known for doing that, but not usually a whole style, just colours... Well, apart from the modern buckle that made a comeback lol
I ended up pre-ordering my 44mm Stainless Steel with white sport band a little late as my priority was the iPhone Xs Max which I preordered first. The iPhone is due foe delivery on the 21st but my watch has an estimated delivery window of 1st Oct. to 8th Oct. which is annoying. I've got a quote from Envirophone for my watch but it's only good until the 26th of this month unless they decide to extend it.
Well it's been a while! I haven't been in a preorder thread for a few years now, but it's good to be back.
On that note....Gold Stainless 40mm with the sport band.
I owned the polished stainless Series 0 and Series 2, and also a space black S2, so the gold is a welcome change of taste this year.
Got a while to wait on mine though, October 8th because I had a million things to do preorder morning and didn't get the chance to order early. :\

Pre-ordered a 44mm SG Aluminium Nike+ model, black luminescent sport band with cellular. Gutting they take until Oct 5th to ship, but I'm on holiday when the regular ones are released anyway.
Had a panic moment during pre-order when it asked me for the 3 digit security code on my card; I didn't know it and the card was at home. Gave it a guess and got it right first time!

Space Grey 44mm aluminium GPS with black sport band for me.
Upgrading from my day 1 first generation so really excited for the updates.

I'm on holiday from the UK in Orlando, Florida at the moment.
I want an S4 44mm in Gold but couldn't pre-order on the US Apple website as it won't let you use a UK credit card.
I found out too late I could have bought an Apple gift card and used that online to pre-order.
The Apple store in the Florida Mall is opening 2 hours earlier than usual next Friday (8am) for pre-orders etc.
Is it worth an early rise?
Does anyone know if they're likely to have stock for walk-in customers who haven't pre-ordered?

I'd say yes its totally worth it, but just remember that a cellular watch bought in the states won't work for 4g in the UK. if you're getting the gps only model though then you should definitely grab one from Florida.
Looking on their website they only have Aluminium Watches in Series 4 at the moment. There are some S3 models in steel, so maybe that would change in future?
44mm Stainless Steel with White Sport band, due for delivery on 21/9. (at Preparing for Disptach)
I was worried about the size until I just found the old Pebble smartwatch I used to wear which is huge in comparison!

Oops, sorry, my mistake. I did mean the aluminium one.
I've just placed an order with Argos, it says 21st delivery. I've also got one ordered through Apple, but it's 3-4 weeks delivery.
Will see which gets dispatched first and cancel the other.
Hermès edition by any chance? Seem to be coming a different route to the rest. Was hoping those of us on PFD since Friday may have been able to track their flights but suspect it’ll be Wednesday now before they’re released from the UK distribution centre
Yes. Single tour deployment.
Tracking currently takes me to that circa 1990s Web 1.0 Syncreon page that always appears (at least for me) at the earliest stage.
Unfortunately, it’s UKMail and not UPS, bah! Not had great experience with them in the past.

I put UKMail in the very same bracket as Yodel
Absolutely useless and couldn’t give a crap about good service!
UPS and DPD are the main best courier companies in UK
Meh, I’ve had many issues with UPS in the past, late deliveries, drivers lying about trying to deliver, wrong statuses, staff stealing my stuff from inside the package...
