Drat!! Finally unboxed my SBTi and found a bubble (or something) in the display. Oh well, back to the Apple Store it goes haha!! Hopefully I can find another for pickup soon.
Got a tip for us?

Really like the leather loop with SBTi. I'm waiting for the stores to get the new Leather Link in so I can grab the Baltic Blue to go with my SBTi.
Thats the only pic, sorry!! It’s already boxed up and ready to return.
You can’t really make out the bubble when the display is on, but no way I’m keeping this for Edition money haha!!
There’s a multitude of different remedies you can try, but obviously take your own risk versus taking anecdotal evidence from members on here that make claims w/o pictures. Others have tried a pencil eraser for minor scuffs, some have used Cape Cod polishing cloths used lightly, mothers polishing paste, etc. The list goes on, there’s even pages of Reddit threads that discuss the same topic, and it is at your own risk, but I would look at it like it’s only a smart watch that really is meant to be ‘used and abused‘, so if it does scratch, I would accept it versus taking the risk Of what someone else ‘may claim‘ that you may or may not share a similar experience.
Ordered a SBTi with black leather link. Thought about Hermès SBSS but think I’d be that little bit more worried about mucking it up. I get outdoors a fair bit but also want professional look for meetings.
Shipping est is mid-November. I’m sure time will fly. Coming from Nike S3 space gray aluminum.
This thread has been really helpful so thanks everyone. Apple Stores are closed in my area and those infinite ecomm shots without relative light are limiting.

received my SBTi yesterday with black solo loop. Loop fits great. I was between 7 and 8 and got the 7. I really like the darker, textured matte finish and looking forward to a more scratch resistant display. coming from an aluminum AW5.
Got my space black titanium yesterday. Of course, the braided loop is the wrong size despite sizing it out with the tool and with a tape measure. Oh well. Supposedly (according to support chat) once my local stores reopen I have 14 days to exchange it. I will do that.
In the meantime, it looks great with the Nike sport loop. I got a good shot of the corner reflecting some light to show the finish. The semigloss brushed finish is fantastic. (And that's not a crack on the screen, just a random hair that settled there).
Now if I can get the hang of getting the SpO2 tool to work... it worked the first time I tried it and randomly at 5:30something AM this morning while I was asleep, but I can't get it to work now.
Oh well. Until then, I also have a clip-on pulse ox to check against, thanks to being in a high risk category.

@xgman - Yes, the choice of band can definitely affect projected delivery date. Enough so in some cases that folks may be better served to pick up a generic sport loop or band, then buy the desired band at a later date when available.
Original Series0 owner, SBSS. I've been thinking to order the S6 SBTi w/ black Leather Link, too. Yesterday online store was showing delivery 3rd wk of Oct; today it's now showing 3rd wk of Nov for the same
the local Apple store is open so I did get to see & try on the SBTi with some of the new bands last week incl Solo Loop, Braided Solo Loop - those in various sizes. Unfortunately the new Leather Link was not available in-store to see

As a S0 owner I’m sure it will be worth the wait! Also wouldn’t be surprised if ship times moved up.
I’m so bored waiting for my watch to arrive I order up the Surf Blue and Vitamin C sport bands. Don’t really need them but the colors are neat. Will try them out and see how they look. I know for at least the Vitamin C that it’s discontinued. I see the Surf Blue is still available through Apple.
Surf blue was showing unavailable. I contemplated getting a spare. It’s my band now and I love it.
I keep reading that as “Smurf Blue”
Looks like they’re back on Apple too.
I am sitting on a cream one while I wait on the arrival of the S6. It may be too bright for me but I may just keep it.
I initiated a return days ago but due to an Apple error I had to open a ticket to print a label LOL. It’s a ploy to get me to change my mind.
I just stopped procrastinating and placed the order - that 1 day delay in clicking "Buy" cost me a month delivery. But hopefully you're right and ship times move up. fingers crossed
Have any of you guys had luck finding the titanium models in stock for store pickup? I check every AM with a bunch of different band configurations and no luck yet across a ton of stores in the LA area.
@mikethebigo relatively few stores ever carried the Edition watches (Ti & Ceramic) last year, so I'd expect the same this year.
I did see someone mention an LA area store in one of the threads, so I'd focus on that one.
Also may be worth stopping by that specific store -- in the past Apple has reserved some of the in-store stock for walk-ins and not made it available for online ordering for pickup. Whether that remains true this year I don't know.
