In my case, if they stick with Nov 2 - 9 I may need to ask for a later delivery because I am book to be in Athens on some of those dates and will certainly be out of place should I make it to Glasgow/Edinburgh.
Got a tip for us?

“Knew what I wanted” meant that I wanted the 41mm natural Ti with the cherry leather band and it just happened to be a combination that existed and happened to be available on launch day. Just lucky and kept refreshing page for Apple store near 5am here in California.
This is the model, I ordered. Natural Titanium.

I ordered right when the store went back up again, put it together and checked out. Got a delivery date of November 9 till 16.

While I really like that if we’re forced to buy a new band with every Watch purchase, we’re able to customize which one we get, I hate the complexity that it adds to the ordering/supply process.
As others have said, I really just wish they’d provide an option for Watch only.
I most likely would have done natural titanium if it had been available in October. It just wasn’t enough of a pull for me to wait another month. My wife has been wanting my current watch after this upgrade.

The dominant thread about iW 7, included a post today suggesting that only world-class cities would possibly have anything Ti on launch day in an Apple Store.
Given this theory, I understand who would be first in line but is there any chance that Dallas would make the cut?

Okay, but given the low inventory this year no sure how to speculate considering unknown factors like inventory.

Happy for you and note that again the Ti is to be shipped and not available at an Apple Store unless you made the choice yourself.
If we had any kind of preview, I would have happily gone with this configuration but alas it was not meant to be owing, in part, to my slowness of thumb typing on an iP.
Ordered at :02 and got a Nov 2-9 for SB Ti with the Tornado/Gray Sport Loop. I saw Oct 26th before checking out, but got slapped by Apple once the order was placed. This was the first time I’ve missed launch day delivery out of 5 watches. All SS, SBSS, or SB Ti.
Oh well, it’ll show up in a few weeks. There’s bigger things to be concerned about.

I got into the app at 8:00am on launch day. Went for 45mm natural Ti with dark cherry loop but it said delivery unavailable and wouldn’t even let me order. Picked the next configuration which was a blue braided loop and it was available for 10/15 delivery so got that. Not a fan of the band but wanted the watch on launch. I’ll pick up the cherry loop separately.
I cannot keep up with the long OP about S7 since it casts such a wide net, but @CodeSpyder from Orlando, FL, reports that his natural TI will be picked up in an Apple store this Friday.
Now I see that @smarcotte reports a Ti SB with cherry braided loop scheduled for Oct 26 - 28 delivery.

Because that was the default for me and I wasn’t wasting any time. I have plenty of bands and can buy another if need be lol
fair enough.
I really hope this year the SB is darker than previous cause it was closer to the space grey than black IMO.

Totally agree. It does not even begin to resemble what I think of when I hear space black. Very much wish it was darker.
I used the Apple Watch Studio to select my Apple Watch and Band. I almost selected black titanium by mistake, but back-tracked and selected natural titanium. By the time I checked out, my choices were delivery in early November or pickup at Apple Store on Oct 15. I chose the latter. Here's what I'm getting.

Looks like at this point there’s no way to get a titanium in October. I see no in-store pickup anywhere and no models for delivery even in early November now. I thought the titanium would be easier to get than the SS. Guess I was wrong. I’m still feeling a bit of an itch to change to titanium from steel, but now I’d be waiting until mid-November.
