There's been at least one Series6 unboxing showing it came with both S/M and M/L sized for the bonus Ti sport band.
I don't care about the 5W adapter, but will try to report back when mine arrives today.
FWIW - I ordered mine on 9/21 with a sport band and delivery date range was Oct 1-5. The next day the same config jumped to Oct 20 or so. I'm wondering now if that was the cutoff and the date pushout may be related to dropping the 5W power brick and related packaging changes? We shall see.
Mine came with the power adapter and both size bands, series 6 natural Ti.
Probably a useless data point as I picked up mine in store the day after launch, but my SBTi w/ Milanese loop had both size sport bands and power adapter.
When did you order?
It was noticed as being removed on 9/24, be interesting to see where the production cutoff ended up.
First Ti w/ Solo Loop ordered Sept. 18, and arrived Sept. 25 with a 5W adapter as well as both S/M and M/L Ti sports band. Second Ti w/ Milanese loop ordered Sept. 21, and scheduled to arrive today. I expect today's delivery to have the 5W and both sizes of the sports band.
Totally agree that the delay is likely due to changing the packaging.
I ordered mine on 9/17. Got it last Friday it was originally expected to deliver 9/28-10/1.
Ordered mine on the night of the 15th, came with both size straps and 5W power adapter. I might return it though as the edges of the viewable screen fills out beyond the “bump” that surrounds the display. At certain angles looking at complications at the corner of the screen there’s a distortion, sort of like looking through the cyclops magnifier on a Rolex.
FYI everyone, big stock update at stores today, all across the country I'm seeing the Space Black models in stock which haven't been available at all for over a week.
SBTi currently in-stock at Los Cerritos and Victoria Gardens, with navy and kumquat sport loops.
I don’t see how they can only ship one size Sport Band unless they ask for your size when ordered. From what I can see, they do not do that. They can infer the size from some orders based on the second band but not all. For example, the Sport Loop doesn’t come in multiple sizes.
They could infer from the case size you have ordered, and if the What's in the Box is to be believed, that's what they now do:
40mm
44mm
That would make me pretty angry since I use a 44 mm and the M/L sport band doesn’t fit very well. I’m on the 2nd or 3rd notch from the watch lug with the M/L and the strap is very uncomfortable that way. On the other hand, I’m 2nd or 3rd from the end of the strap with the S/M. Works a lot better. Removing the smaller band reduces the value of the Titanium considerably for me. Luckily, I received both when I got my Series 6 Titanium.
Annnd the Eagle has landed. For those curious, I received the power brick with mine. I ordered 09/21. Early morning 09/24 it shipped. I must have just missed the cutoff where the power brick is now being removed.

Thanks! Yes, I did receive two sizes of the band.
definitely chime in when you get yours!
Fortunately, this is another instance of Apple's demonstrated propensity to mess up their website information.
My SBTi S6 arrived with both sizes of the bonus sport band.

Just five minutes ago.
I have a natural Ti waiting for pickup that I ordered around the 25th. If I pick it up I expect it to have the brick.
Did you also get the charging brick? I think it’s well documented that the watches that came with the charging brick also include both sizes of bonus sport band. However it would appear that at the same time that the website was updated to show that there was no charging brick it was also updated to show that there is only one size of sport band. I don’t think anyone has confirmed yet that they got a watch without the charging brick or whether both sizes were included in in the packages without the charging brick.
Yay!
Mine arrived as well; came with both sizes of sports band and the power adapter.
As we discussed earlier, the current delay is probably due to packaging. The sticker on my box indicates that the power adapter is included. So not only do they need to remove the brick, they need new stickers . . .
No, Apple's website was showing only one size of sport band plus the brick in the Whats-In-The-Box well before they dropped the charging brick from the Edition models.

I don't think we've seen any orders placed on 9/22 or later arrive yet. Mine was places on 9/21 with an Oct 1-5 delivery estimate. The next day they showed Oct 20-24 or similar for even the common black sport bands. My guess, yet to be validated, is that was then the cutoff for including the brick (which I did receive).
