Great pics. Which one is the black one? I'm guessing it's a SBSS 45mm S9? As it looks bigger than the rest. Or is it the Jet Black S10?
Got a tip for us?

Just received mine. 46mm jet black with Lake Green sport loop. Enjoying the reflections face
This band look so good compared to the hero shots! It's the one I picked to go with my S10 Jet Black*. Alas, more than a month until it's here, I missed the pre-order start date.
* @JBlass421 will be happy to hear that I'm finally getting a dark Apple Watch.
Yay! Congratulations! I knew the time would come eventually. Can’t wait to see your awesome pairings!
I wish the lugs matched better. The lugs look so much cooler than the warm hue of the Titanium on the Ultra. Haven’t noticed that on the black. Nonetheless, congratulations! This is a band I’m considering for my Ultra as well.
The black one is the 44mm SSSB then there’s the 45mm 9 stainless, 42mm 10 titanium, 40mm 6 silver aluminium
It's a perfect match in person. I have that cool filter on in my camera, that might be throwing it off in pictures.
Ah ok perfect! I was actually surprised/disappointed would make the band so off lol
I had the same thought! I ordered the natural titanium band and am waiting for it to be delivered, and am so relieved it was the photo style that made it look like they weren't matching, LOL.
Thank you SO much!! I have to say that 1mm difference looks bigger than I expected. Hmm..
The screen seems fuller! I have a long shift today so I cannot check it out until later in the weekend. Bummer about schedules around launch day.
I got a special band to show y’all. A rare modern buckle color. Can anyone guess what it is?
Looks nice on a gold stainless steel Apple Watch.
🔥!!!! Existing Apple Watch Ultra users don’t need to upgrade to the second generation as there is only a minor upgrade and new color. Is that band magnetic still? It has a more traditional clasp.
It is not magnetic - but you can adjust the size of the strap using the upper clasp you see in this photo. Very comfortable and easy to microadjust
Yea it is like the traditional mesh bands in mechanical watches. Too bad this milanese loop is only for 44mm and larger AWs- as it is made for the Ultra.
I really love the look of the new mesh/milanese loop, but I fear the hair pulling on my wrist 
Any insight on that yet?

Much less pulling on hair vs the stainless steel milanese so far (I have worn those and tolerated the hair pulling for years)
I do have a regular Milanese loop that is gold, and yes it will snag your wrist hairs if you have it. A strategy I do on a regular basis is to shave 🪒 your wrists and forearms at least once a week, even if the wrist hairs are thin the Milanese loop still snags it sometimes.I really love the look of the new mesh/milanese loop, but I fear the hair pulling on my wrist
Even the link bracelet does this as well.
Cannot believe Apple went back to darker packaging for the black Apple Watch models like the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black titanium. Will slate and jet black have boxes like that?
The last time Apple used black boxes for dark Apple Watch models was the Apple Watch Series 5 Hermes in space black.
