I ordered an Apple Watch paired with a black leather link slated for delivery on October 9, but I canceled it won launch day.

I ordered 4 leather links, baltic blue and black, in medium and large.

They were originally supposed to be shipped on November 20, but I just got an email they’re going to arrive Oct 21-30.

I have a feeling they’ll ship sooner than that.

Thank you for your comment. So, It looks like Apple may be catching up with the demand. I hope they get released soon.

My black leather link ordered on 9/16 should arrive between 9/8 and 9/15 . No mouvement yet . I've been wanting one of those for my 40  Watch ever since they came out only for the 44 .
 
My 44mm SS is paired with a saddle leather link band and it’s finally out for delivery today so I guess they caught up. Now I’m wondering if the medium/large will be too big. Can’t wait to get it regardless...
 
I kind of wish I had waited for a leather link vs. purchasing the leather loop. The part where the band loops through pulls the watch in that direction so it's either too far back or forward unless I really tighten it down.

Can you post pics in different lighting scenarios?

Also, can you do a stress test on it? I wanna know if the leather link can easily detach, I don’t want my watch flying off my wrist since it’s only held together by magnets.

Stress tests like, clenching your fist, spreading your fingers really wide to thicken your wrist. When I do this with a Milanese loop, it loosens up the fit quite a bit.

Another one is swinging your arms as you walk and snagging your belt loop or pockets. Snagging it on the edge of the table or chair too.

You want them to potentially damage their watch so you can see how strong the magnets are? Good luck with that!
 
I think all the colors look amazing especially the California Poppy. Would love to have it in Product Red if they were available.
Yes, that really should be an option. A Product Red LLB would be very cool. Actually Product Red on a lot of ranges where it isn’t available would be good. Even PR Milanese loop could be fun!

Yeah I really wanted the Meyer Lemon Leather Loop from last year, loved that Yellow and the Leather Loop style itself but was stupidly locked out of even having the option to buy it just for having a 40mm Watch, where your only option instead was the Modern Buckle, which I really am not a fan of at all.

Very happy to not only see the 40mm finally get a Leather Loop style band with the Leather Link, but also in a nice yellow-orange colour too! Let's hope it's comfortable and secure enough for day to day wear.

I hope so! I'm waiting for the Baltic Blue to arrive first then will order a new Yellow-orange color. It stands out. I just hope they don't take too long to arrive.
 
My original date was November 13-19, but today I checked based off of this topic, and the date moved up. Nice! Not much, but it is better than nothing. New date is October 29-November 5.
