3rd party vendors only offering bundles with basic bands!?

[matc]

I just realized that all 3rd party vendors (at least in Germany) are selling the Apple Watch 9 with the basic bands - I can't get e.g. one with the new fine woven magnetic band. Any idea why that's the case or if there are merchants that do offer these bundles?

And yes, I could of course order at Apple directly but there are some reasons for me to choose a 3rd party vendor but that's not part of this discussion.

Can't get the fine woven magnetic band even from Apple. Apparently they aren't available yet, period.

Got it - so nothing to do with 3rd party vendors. Very bad comms on that from Apple.
