I've jumped in this boat but without the sbti on order. $100 for it not to be shiny and being able to sell the watch on with a band rather no band is a plus since Apple trade in rates seem rather low. The AppleCare costs more too - but at least you get 3 vs 2 years so perhaps incentive to actually keep it longer (although may be able to convert to monthly after the 2 years is up for the ss watch so this slightly evens out).
Got a tip for us?

Thanks for the help with this.It comes with one additional year of standard warranty I believe.
The extra band is mentioned here in the "What's in the box" section. This is for Standard TI color but you get the darker band with the SBTI:

Great choice!! I had natural Ti for S5, then switched to SBTi for S6, but ordered natural Ti for S7.
I love Ti as a material, and the natural Ti just looks so good.
Can't wait for the 15th, haha!!
I went with Abyss Blue Sport Band...mainly because that's the only combo that was available on the 15th, haha!!
I would've preferred the Abyss Blue Sport Loop (the SL is my favorite AW band), but that combo just showed "unavailable" with no option to even pre-order.
I have to say after seeing it on the Studio, that I'm going to get a Golden Brown Leather Link as well. Looks really sharp!!
ETA: And what happened to the Sea Salt Sport Loop? I'm normally not big on light-colored bands, but it looked really clean to me.

Same here. Natural Titanium for AW 5, then SB Titanium for AW 6, which in my opinion was a huge mistake. So switching back to natural Titanium is actually one reason for me to upgrade. In addition to the small design changes and the bigger display. Was hoping for a ceramic version, though.
I've got a natural ti 45mm on the way (whenever it comes) with the golden brown strap and I just ordered the stainless link bracelet for it.
Have heard great things about the bracelet and really wanted to give it a try. Coming from the real watch world where steel bracelets cost ~$1000AUD if it's as good as I've read then $650 for it (and some extra links) is a bargain.

I am pleased to see the link bracelet back in the marker. Maybe three watches ago, Apple had about the same price as now and I paid $100 USD for one at a Target Department Store.
If you like the Milanese loop, the graphite one with the natural Ti looks really nice. That is the combo I ordered for last years S6.
I also have a braided loop, Inverness Green (which I think is discontinued) which is a sharp looking casual band.
I've had Ti SB for 5 months and it's been absolutely flawless and held up better than my previous stainless steel.
Thanks for your input. I was able to find a SS graphite for pickup tomorrow so between having the watch sooner and saving money, I'm going that route. Maybe I'll shoot for the Edition version in the future.

Thanks for that, what a good find. Increases the amount of indecision but that's part of the fun I guess. The natural ti looks oddly incredible in this video whereas the sbti looks much like it's not a true black. Anyone else think that this could be the case or is it just odd lighting? Graphite was a bit harder to tell as it was slightly out of focus.
Thats the thing with the natural Ti, it really interacts with the ambient lighting and other materials that are next to it. It is a very nice finish.
The Natural Titanium also looks quite distinguishable from the Starlight aluminium watch I think:
This is a great shot of what it looked like. Got to see all of them…and the winner is definitely the space black hermes! Which won’t be mine as that’s a bit too much expense since I wouldn’t want to use a hermes band. To be honest, even in person, that natural titanium just looks amazing. I think it outdoes the sbti and if my graphite doesn’t go well, may switch to that in the end. The graphite could do with being just that bit darker - I can see why everyone is up in arms about the space black SS having been set to hermes only.

The natural titanium scratches and it shows the nicks and marks easily where space black titanium doesn’t.

That’s exactly what I ordered. It looks very elegant and classy. Never goes out of the style.
