I ordered the blue/gray ultra a day or two after preorder day. Had a late October ship date, the. A few days ago changed to a few days sooner. Then I checked just now and it changed to preparing to ship with shipment happening in 2-3 business days.
so it looks like even some of the harder to get bands are starting to move.

I ordered through apple directly.
 
I ordered mine via Verizon with an original shipping date of Nov 11 but my card just got charged again so I assume that means it about to ship
Hopefully so, mines is slated for 12/16 ship by date, just placed another order with Apple, race on who will arrive first starts now! Lol.
 
well store near me had gotten the green alpine (small) in stock. Decided to get it instead, I'll just end up buying the trail band separately. Plus I won't be using the alphine small band either. So it will sit in the box and in the closet never to be seen. I prefer the braided solo loop as that's much more comfortable for me. I may not get the trail bend tbh.
 
Just saw my order was preparing to ship
