Support-Chat in Germany says the will only know the availability of the bands on 9/22. Guess I'll wait a few more days to find out. Would be great if Apple would consider offering a "watch only" option. A lot of users out there have quite the collection when it comes to bands. Reminds me of the headphones that were shipped with the iPhones or more recently the charger...

Yes but hoping the new Watch OS 10 will be more efficient use along with new S9 processor...
Still hoping for textile magnetic bands are coming in before my 14 days are up starting tomorrow since it's being delivered.
I just order mine for pickup tomorrow but decided against the fine woven band - I'll give the rubber solo loop a try. I also decided against cellular this time since I had the feeling it was not really working that well when I needed it (e.g. iMessage to my wife wasn't sent when I was at the pool and the phone in a locker) and just draining the battery.
Looking forward to the 1 nit light when I tuck in the kids, also.
Coming from an S4 this hopefully will have been worth the wait!

Just seen on the website it at least now says "Check back later for availability" rather than just giving you no delivery time. Small improvement but at least the right info there now.
After some bad experiences with 3rd parties I have to say I'm quite impressed with this one: https://amzn.eu/d/1XtzpHV
It comes with two additional benefits: It's obviously waterproof and you can wear it in two ways, giving you two color options. I like it a lot but I'll still keep an eye on the fine woven bands...

Just ordered one of the magnetic bands (Pacific blue)... expecting delivery of my newly reconditioned S7 today via AppleCare+... so Apple got me for $100 and not $500.
