Thank you for your post. Same here. I have a November arrive day because of the band, so what I did was cancel the ultra2 then re-ordered the ultra 2 with a band that I did not want or like. I have extra wristbands from my previous Apple Watch. Now my ultra 2 will arrive on the 22nd Friday. The beige and orange wristband sells separately for $89. So I bought another color for 44 bucks, veterans discount
