I do like the band but I have to get used to it by putting it on! It does take a lot of work. By aligning it right and moving ur wrist around.
Is that the natural Titanium Watch you have there with it? Looks neat. I’ve also got Baltic Blue on order, look forward to seeing how it looks on the SBTi - I actually think all four Leather Link colours would look pretty great with the Space Black Ti

Yes all natural titanium. I do have a SBTI 5 I can put the band on that one and give you a compassion if you want.
ooh yes please that would be great thank you!
And unrelated to the thread topic, do you overall prefer the natural titanium or the space black?

Natural all the way! It stands out and you can match with any of the bands
i guess for paying the price of an Edition Watch, you’d kinda want it to stand out 😅
Really nice, looks like you could’ve gone for a medium. But I guess a large = more magnets.

Thank you!!!
yes, the Medium band would have been ok but large does mean more magnets. It secures it very tightly.
The Leather Link is great. Huge upgrade over the old Leather loop.
Also the Blood Ox is working perfectly with the leather loop since it ensures a tight fit.
The magnets do not look pill like in person. The issue in photos is that it is taken too close. You need to use a telephoto lens to capture the look properly. I did not do that but here are my pics.

That actually does look quite sleek.
I really hope the Apple Stores get them soon, even just demo models try on, meanwhile my order which is meant to arrive between 14th October and 20th October, still hasn't moved past "Processing"
Can you elaborate on this part a little? How is it a huge upgrade over the leather loop?
Sounds to me it’s that new new feeling. Personal preference, but feel the leather loops looks better with that nice touch of stainless to the loop. Plus the leather looks more classier IMO.
However I’ll still be purchasing a Baltic Blue once in store haha
Several ways:
1) The watch sits better on your wrist and it sits more symmetrically whereas the leather loop was lifted on one side where the buckle was.
2) It generally has a more sleek and fitted look while you are wearing it
3) It feels a bit more secure
4) It looks better
Its what the leather loop should have always been, but they couldn't figure out how to remove that awkward loop component. The new magnets are the key.

Thanks for these pics. Hard to come by! I think the tan interior (and obviously leather quality) is what sets these apart from the knock offs. So much more premium. I do love my blue knock off tho, its my favorite band atm. And it definitely matches the blue alum watch better than the Baltic Blue, which is a nice color and all, but isnt "blue".
Gave up on the order and picked one up at the apple store and it’s way better than the eBay knock off.
The yellow is a bit brighter than I expected but I love it.
Interesting the apple one has the magnets sitting in the dips. The hooky one doesn’t. I guess this is what you pay for also as expected the leather is much nicer.

My Black Leather Loop is expected 23rd October, I just noticed that the money has been taken out of my bank so I m expecting it earlier.
Cannot log on to check because the store is down waiting for the iPhone 12 orders.
Edit: Just had an email from DPD saying it will be delivered Monday

I’ve just ordered a brown link for collection at a local store tomorrow. I’ll cancel my pre-order which still shows a 27th delivery.
Your post prompted me to check on the status of my remaining leather link bands. Mine are unchanged:
Oct 21-28 Saddle Brown
Oct 23-30 Baltic Blue
And also my sport loop is still scheduled for Oct16-23 (but still has not shipped)
What is odd about your delivery date is that if you place an order now you can get it well before Nov 25.
