Just received both of my sport bands today, I ordered one on April 14th and the other on April 24th. A friend just received his yesterday also. Looks like a big batch were released recently. They appear to ship from within Ontario and arrive the next day. Both of mine actually arrived before the UPS tracking details were completely updated.

There's local stock now. They're stocking the Apple stores with Bands. The Eaton Centre in Toronto has them. Don't know about London or Waterloo yet.

Oh cool, I missed that. Was in the US on Tuesday and two of the stores I went into didn't have them yet.
 
Just talked to UPS. They assured me its on the truck. Ordered 4/10 5:13am SG BSB June 2-14 delivery date. Should be there by tonight!! :) #

Apple finally shipped my Link and Loop bands, this afternoon! The link is coming from Cali (interestingly) and loop doesn't have tracking yet.

Also was able to pick up a black loop from Eatons Centre.

Today was a good day! :D :D
 
Ordered a 42mm Sport with White Sports Band on April 29 and it arrived on Wednesday (May 20).

I wanted the black Sport model but I'm hesitant as I have a feeling it'd get scratched/ding'd easily showing a lot of silver. I'm going to cancel that order shortly as it's still processing.

It's something I'm still getting used to, that's for sure. Hoping to grab a black sports band at some point.
 
Anyone here waiting on a Black SS Link? I looked through some post but didn't see any mentioned. Still sitting on a June delivery myself. Ordered at 3:26am.
 
Just walked in to west Edmonton mall and bought a Milanese band for my watch. They have most bands except link, leather loop and modern buckle.
 
I got my milanese today. It adds another level of luxury to the watch. I knew i would like it bit its truly amazing. I honestly don't see myself wearing my wsb except for working out.
 
Ordered 38 sport black and sport pink band on the 11th May to be shipped to halifax. First got jun 1-12 on the band and jun 8-19 on the watch. Today the estimates changed for both to jun 17-23 #

My Space Black SS Link delivers on Monday. Order confirmation received at 3:05:38am EST. It was shipped on Thursday.
 
That's fantastic, I'm sure you will love it. I'm hoping we have a similar situation to Europe where they have skipped a few minutes ahead where the U.S. is pretty much minute by minute.

Yep, (I'm a July) - I think we saw one :06 in the US get charged. The rest :)06-:10 and one :13) are all from outside the US - UK, Germany, Canada and France. Might have been an Aus or two in there too.
 
The 13 minute French one got me excited. Hoping for early June that's all I can hope for.

I really hope we see as much activity as we did this week for the SB SS's. I think the orders are very front-ended.

I think there's good likelihood that Apple will have the backlog filled by the end of the first week of June. June 5th is 2 weeks from now. I'm hopeful! :)
 
Used it at Tim's

i paid for my Tim Horton's today using my watch.:) I added my Tim's card to Passport, opened Passport on my watch & they scanned the bar code at the register. Worked like a charm! Just had to share. It should work just as well at Starbucks, just haven't tried it yet.

That isn't using nfc though, still really cool

Awesome, I go to Timmys EVERY DAY, so it will be useful. Now I just need to get my Watch ;-(

I've also used my Starbucks card a couple of times now via Passbook on the watch and it has worked great and still gets some reactions.

Today I used Apple Pay on the watch at a Tim Hortons drive-thru and really confused the person inside. :) I also realized how awesome it was considering my phone was actually connected to the car and would have been a pain to use Apple Pay without the watch.

How did you setup Apple Pay in Canada?

It's not. It's using the loyalty cards and the passbook application.

Apple Pay isn't yet available from the Canadian banks / CC companies - last I heard the target for implementation is still November, though I'm certainly hoping for sooner! :)
