Stores by me all have them as well(according to the app) so I’ll probably do the same tomorrow. I called the store by me today and the girl I spoke to had NO idea what was going on-she told me that they had just run out even though the web site still showed the band was in stock. Anyone with experience, is the website stock status always accurate? Thanks-
I think the website in-store stock status is usually pretty accurate. Believe it updates in real time. Of course it doesn't display stock numbers, so you always run the risk that an item could sell out momentarily before you arrive at the store.

I would tell you to make sure to order ahead of time for in-store pickup to secure the band, but in my situation that option was grayed out on Apple's website for the 42mm Dark Olive Sport Loop. I imagine Apple is limiting in-store pickup for other popular/scarce bands as well...

Best advice I can give is to try to get to a store ASAP if you see it is in stock.

Finally got my hands on an olive sport loop today. My local store magically had 2 in stock. Apple.com showed them in stock but wouldn’t allow me to add it to my cart to purchase for in store pickup. I just called and had the store place one on hold for me. Rep said when they have stock less than 3 the website will disable store pick up sometimes.

Great photos, and the first ones I’ve seen where the olive actually looks like olive!

Two weeks in, and this is my favorite OEM band by a country mile. It's comfortable no matter the situation, activity, sweat-level, etc ... just always 100% comfortable.

Thank you, I'm up in the air on which one still. I might go olive now as I don't like the multi-color look in the black.

I wasn't a fan when I bought the black. But I have to say, I am a lesser fan today than I was when I bought it.
Worn once now it sits

It's super comfortable, but mine is starting to feel wet, like it's just collecting small amounts of sweat every day and now it won't let go―it's gross? but it doesn't smell...

If you want to trade for several bands or you decide to sell, let me (and everyone else) know. I’m sure you’ll have no problem finding a buyer.

I ended up buying it, wearing it for about a week, then returned it within a week for the olive gray. I like how much more air pockets it for working out, but I didn't like the color.

Damn, having the Dark Olive just make me wish even more for Apple to release a Sport Loop that perfectly matches the space gray aluminum casing. Guess this will have to do for now.

On the plus side the band is super comfy to wear. Looking forward to the Sport Loop being my go to casual band.

Tried to highlight the "greenish" tints of the Dark Olive band in the picture above. The fabric on the band's edges, and the plastic parts for the lugs and tip are where the green hues are most prominent.

I received my midnight blue band today. Really like this new band. Very comfortable. I'd like to add the seashell but it always shows 3-4 week delivery. Hopefully some local stores get it in sooner.

Someone just posted 42mm black sport loop ships in a week? Apple site shows 3-4 weeks for me.
Did they sell out again in 7 hours you think?

It was that way for about an hour. The times change randomly throughout the day. You just have to keep checking

Here's the Black/Pure Platinum Nike Sport Loop, currently available only with the Nike+ Series 3 Cellular model in Space Gray.

First pic is with the Nike+ Watch it came with, second is my S0.

The part where it "folds" back on to itself bulges out a little, and I don't like wearing my Watch too tight.

It's not plain black, has obvious stripes, but not colored "specs" as per the Black Sport Loop.

The standard Black is nice in a warm, casual sort of way, but I rather like the stripes, more like a Nato nylon band.
