The Extra Band/Strap Processing/Shipping Thread

Still no movement on my bands.

Wife and I both got our watches, her's the 38mm SS with Milanese and mine a 42mm SS Black Classic.

Ordered a white for me and pink for her at 6 min after "go time" and still processing, delivery window of May

Then ordered a black for me and a white for her, again still processing with delivery in May as well.

Lastly, on Saturday I decided to give blue a try and ordered two of those with a 2-4 week delivery window which is, you guessed it, still processing.

:confused:
 
This is really disappointing as it seams like us separate band orderers are getting the end of the ship dates range or at the least, surely not getting them at the start which is tomorrow.

Going to be really flustered if I don't receive a single band by May 5th out of the four I have processing.

I'm waiting on multiple bands as well, but I think we can survive if it means others can get their Apple Watches faster.
 
My 42mm BSB ordered 4/10 at 1:54pm PST has the 4/29 - 5/12 window. My 42mm link bracelet still just says "May". Let's hope for some movement soon!
 
Ordered a Black Sport Band (gray pin if that matters, lol) at the time of AW order (3:01 EDT), and added a Black Classic a few days ago. No change that I know of (Processing, 4/29, May).
 
Band orders moving?

I got charged for a band yesterday (my card was pending as of yesterday) that I ordered on the 16th.

I am not sure if it just decided to show up on Monday or if this means bands might be moving. It's just a white sport band, it's not a link or anything exciting.

My status on Apple still shows Processing and a May delivery, but May is Friday. ;)

Anyone else have a charge pop up for a band?

Argh. I wonder if my CC company just took forever to post the pending charge? I mean, I also bought another watch and got hit for Apple Care and not the watch, but that pending charge dropped off.

ETA: Wait! I ordered that band on 4/16 and it charged my card on 4/27. Methinks it should be shipping. Hmmmm.

My black sport band ordered at the same time as my watch on 4/10 is still processing.

The link band I ordered my husband hasn't charged to me yet, either. Sucks because it's got the 4/29-5/12 window and he really wants it.

Same. Hoping it moves soon - I'm not a huge fan of the white band that it came with.

I bet the BSB takes a while. I ordered a 38mm SS WSB for my son (birthday gift, he's an adult) and he prefers the black, but I know it won't come before his birthday if I order it that way.
 
If some company comes out with a decent third party collection of bands that are "in stock now" prior to Apple's preordered bands switching to "preparing to ship", I image Apple will see lots of cancellations. I wonder how many actual preorders there are for these high margin bands. The first to ship has the potential for a pretty nice payday.
 
No, Black Leather Loop to Germany - Ordertime 09:03... ETA 4/28 - 5/12... Still processing...
 
Additional sport band shipping times

I was looking to see what the shipping times for the different colored sports bands are when I noticed something strange. Some were 2-4 weeks and others just said May. 4 weeks from now is the end of May. Does anyone know what the difference is?

The green one is available quicker, I think, because it's less popular. The white and black are also available on both Stainless Steel and Sport watches, so that probably factors in.

It was like that when I ordered my spare band, a couple days after preorders went live.
 
38 ss arrived on launch, ordered separate 38 black sport with a delivery window of 28th April - 11th May. No movement on the order it's still showing as processing.
