Titanium AW6 thread

[jlsm511]

Yes. My 44 SBTi w/ Charcoal Braided Loop will be delivered on the 21st per UPS. It was previously scheduled for the 25th-29th. Ordered about 15-20 minutes after it went live. Shows on UPS and Apple emailed me.

Topic:

The SBTi definitely looks similar to the aluminum, but I didn’t get it to stand out. I bought one last year and loved the strength of Ti, so I ordered another one this time. I’d possibly consider the natural Ti, but I prefer black over silver.

Is your Watch coming from China? Or from the US?

Okay!!!!! I have had a SS series 3 and 4 and just ordered the 6..... Now I see this thread and I am really contemplating the switch to Ti. My questions is what color sports band do they come with or do you have an option and any other persuasion to help me out would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

you can choose your band just like with any other watch.

Ti also has a second just-for-Ti watches band included, kinda a dark gray for the SBTi and lighter for the natural Ti. The special part is the band has a metal pin matching the watch.

Okay thanks for the update..... The reason I was asking is because I like the sports band and wanted to see what color it was so I don't order the same..... But it appears they are color specific just for the Ti models.

correct. If you mock up an order and go to What’s In The Box you’ll see the included band.

I ordered aluminum but I’m very much regretting not going titanium. Sigh. Now the lead time is well into next month.

China. I’m not sure any Ti models were in the US.

I've been looking at different sport loops and sport bands and some have shipping dates on sept.29-oct.1.

 

[deeddawg]

Yep. Something common like a basic black Sport Band is Sep 29-Oct 1

Choose a blue braided solo loop and you’re at November 16-20

 

[SkiingCory]

It does but not as durable as SBSS and will scratch if you hit it hard enough. The normal titanium is like butter.

What makes you say the normal Ti is like butter. I always had SBSS, went normal Ti for a new finish. Thx

I went and done it. Black solo loop. Natural titanium. Arrived a few days after the alum. I’ll just return that one when it arrives. Though I may peek in the box and see what the braided strap is like.

I can’t believe I bought titanium. I love and hate all of you.

I’d love a brown leather strap but I’m a gym regular and fairly active. I’d have to swap it daily and that seems like a huge pain. Although....

Welcome to the titanium club my friend 🤣

Welcome to the titanium club my friend

Indeed! I first ordered a silver aluminum one with a (blue?) braided solo loop, and added a cream sport loop. Cream may be too bright for me. But looks nice in photos. I may just stick with my surf blue sport loop LOL.

Then bought the titanium (natural), with black solo loop.

Interested to see the braided loop but I’m already convinced it’s not for me.

Unsure if the solo loop is.

My first watch was with a regular sport band but the fit didn’t seem to mesh with the wrist tattoos I got as a youth, and the watch would continuously lock. The sport loop fixed all that, and it’s comfortable as anything.

Aluminum is too cheap. Go with the Titanium

Even Appleinsider recommended it. https://appleinsider.com/articles/1...atch-edition-series-5-is-worth-the-extra-cost

...aaaand we have a shipping notification. ??

At order the delivery was between 24th - 28th September, then it said 28th September sharp. Now it‘s delivered with DHL Express (interesstingly Apple notes that this is standard shipment ?‍♂️) from the Netherlands, now Apple says the Watch is coming 25th September.

But: can‘t imagine it will still take a hole week until delivery from the Netherlands to Leipzig, Germany. Should be faster. Let‘s see. ?

I ordered the TiSB because i own the SBss Link Bracelet - hope that will match, i saw that the Links are more „mat“ than shiny, but the sides of the Bracelet is shiny...very exciting how it will look

In the thread of the series 5 titanium you can see many blacks with a lot of scratches, this not happens with de ss version ... and both have dlc

I had my series 5 SBTi and it has held up better than my prior SBSS. This includes multiple times up to doorknobs and not one scratch, or issue. The DLC coating makes the SBTi more scratch resistant than the regular Ti.

Just got shipping notification on my S6 Ti. Tracking number still isn’t active in UPS’ system. First time I’ve had that happen from Apple.

 

[maldahleh]

Has anyone been able to reserve a titanium for pickup with the braided solo loop? If so, what colour? Seems like the only ones that the Apple Stores around me have for pickup are with the Sport Loop.

I think this has to do with the space black Milanese loop as those are also DLC coated, so that will definitely scratch the SBTI casing if not taken care of properly. But other than that there are multiple times where I have accidentally banged my SBTi on metal door frames couple times, and yet not even a single scratch or dings that I can see.

Not the first for me. Any given day when I order stuff from Apple and they use UPS, I still get the shipped e-mail with the tracking but UPS tracking usually updates for me every time after 5 pm.

 

[Justin51]

Well after munch consideration I pulled the trigger late last night....... Went with the Ti with Red sports loop as I have a few color options already and I really like the dark gray band it also come with. Already in preparing to ship, I canceled my SS order I placed a few days ago and that was just sitting in the processing stage. Im excited!!!!!!!

My store doesn't cary the Apple Watch edition sadly, so I'll have to patiently wait for mine to be delivered between 25 - 29th of September. Currently is in the PFS stage. Still no tracking.

Edit to Add: Just as I submitted this I got an e-mail that my 44mm SBTi with Sport Loop band has shipped. Pretty Stoked.
