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.

Congrats!!!! If I missed it, my apologies. I trust you got the power brick?

I also ordered a 3-1 charger kit as well. Phone AirPods Pro and AW. Neat and tidy!

Yes, though easily missed as my mentioned of it was secondary to other stuff. It'll sit in the box just like any other ones.
I'm unfamiliar with this 3-1 kit. Kinda already have Qi pad and puck on the low dresser next to my old ihome clock. Never even unpacked my S5 puck, so that'll go with the S5 in resale.

This is what I just ordered. Didn’t get it yet but if it does what it says it does. I’ll be happy

I really want to get my hands on one of the grey sport bands that comes with the Ti version. If anyone in Toronto has one let me know! I'll pay more than it's worth...haha
Do you want the light gray with the natural titanium or the dark grey with the SBTi? I might be able to sell you a used dark gray one if that's what you're looking for.

Looks great. Where did you see it? Does it have an identifiable brand name?

On Amazon. Do a search for Apple 3-1 Chargers. As far as brand name. Unfortunately no. I’m not too concerned about charging speed as I charge overnight. On the a rare occasion that I forget to charge my phone, I just break out the dedicated iPhone charger.

it’s probably on par with my small, single charging pad I have now.

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.
Apple's better off letting us choose S/M or M/L. It's makes buying the process more complex, but Apple has already go down that route with the Solo Loop.

I agree but it still makes the Titanium Edition less valuable on resale. I usually don’t concern myself with that as much as usability for myself but it still isn’t as good.

Good to hear. As a final data point it will be good to hear from anyone who has received one without a power brick but still with both band sides, as I’d hazard a guess that these changes would be linked.

Just did an in-store pickup of a SBTi which just came into stock today after being out of stock for a while. So I'm sure it's a shipment the store just received. Still had power brick and both sizes of the band.

The dark one is preferred so that would be awesome. Ideally I’d end up with both haha

Or they could just keep including both like they’re doing despite what the website might (incorrectly) suggest.

Has anyone received a Titanium recently who can confirm if it no longer comes with the power adapter and has only one Sport Band size?

Comes with power adapter & gray band along with another of your choice.

Are we just accepting that the Apple site is wrong now?

I'm still convinced that in the fullness of time the Apple site will be proven right and power brick-less and dual-size band-less models will trickle through.

I agree. I think that there just hasn’t been enough time yet, at least for the power bricks. I suspect that within the next few weeks we’ll start to see titanium watches coming without power bricks. I think it’s possible, but maybe less likely that they will come without the dual sized bands as well.

Not sure I don’t see anything on the site that shows “what’s in the box”. I think the extra’s they ask for all watch orders. Not sure why they would start shipping with the power adapter & the standard gray band then stop all of a sudden.

Apple showed one size band plus brick back on Sept 15th.

Just how long a game you think they’re playing? Lol

here’s what showed up for my 9/21 order.

Delivery dates jumped nearly three weeks - on 9/21 they were showing Oct 1-5, then on 9/22 they were showing Oct20+ for same basic sport bands.

I’m guessing that’s the dividing line on the bricks. We shall see.

I agree but it still makes the Titanium Edition less valuable on resale. I usually don’t concern myself with that as much as usability for myself but it still isn’t as good.

In the midst of one more spending over $900 on a smart watch, I don’t think the majority of ‘techies’ on this forum care about resale value. If you do, then you’re purchasing the wrong watch. Also, I don’t know how much you pay attention to the Used market for Apple Watches, but it’s increasingly becoming more difficult to sell the more premium model, because consumers aren’t willing to even spend over 500 on a titanium model, when they all share the same internals/incorporate the same watchOS.

Even more so, now Apple has that SE Apple Watch, which has an amazing starting price at $279.

Just picked up a SBTi from the Cerritos, CA Apple store.

It has the power brick, and both sizes of dark grey sport band. Digging the color. Nice change from my S5 natural Ti.

Maybe it’s the anti-social in me, but I really like the curbside pickup, haha!! Drive up, roll down your window, get handed your watch, and drive off. Nice!!
