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.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 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.
