Stainless Steel Space Black Shipping Status

Don't remember if I posted my try on pics here yet.

This is the closest I've seen to how accurate the color actually is when seen in store. I've tried on the Space Black in the main floor among everyone else with a glass ceiling (just painting the picture of the store), and I've tried on the Space Black in a private room (tried on the Edition). Both times it seemed much closer to black, dark dark gray than how some of the pictures have shown where it seems to resemble something closer to Space Gray phones/Macbook.

I'd be interested to know how long you have had, how scratched it's gotten. Seems very nice and unblemished.

I got my Hublot Big Bang w/PVD Bracelet in 2007. It's 8 years old now. I've worn it perhaps 20% of the time since purchase, maybe 18 months of "wear". It's still pristine. I own other nice watches, and have gotten pretty good at keeping them scratch free. The PVD coating has held up extremely well on the Hublot; really no scratches or other issues. Here's pic of the back of the watch, FYI. This is the surface in contact with my wrist. Looks pretty good for an 8 year old watch I think.

I have no-doubt Apple's DLC coating will be just as good as the coating on the Hublot. I, for one, am not worried about scratches and other defects on the Apple Stainless Space Black coating or band.

Damn it. Dithering between the SG sports model and this. Mind made up, SS black ordered today with July shipping date (bit late to jump ship, I know).

Just picked up a Garmin fenix 3 last week, so that should keep my watch lust at bay until this bad boy arrives.

Nice, welcome to the dark side. We're here waiting with you. (Until we aren't, that is)
 
Here's another one I posted in another thread I believe. I'm not sure if it's any of the above users pics, but I saved it simply because it looks absolutely stunning! Ugh, I can't wait to get this watch.

NOTE: I too am getting an OOPS page when trying to visit the Apple Order Status.

What bands are you getting to supplement the space black link band? I've ordered a black sports band and a blue leather loop. I'm thinking about getting a white sports band as well.
 
I ordered the white sport band and a blue leather loop... No movement on those either.

I'm going to wait until the stores are all stocked up so we can review all the bands in person. Hopefully they have all of the ones that they were pimping in Italy in the stores by then as well. :)

Likely be late summer / early fall by then.

...and not crazy about the feel of the sport band. People say it feels "silky". I say it feel creepy....kinda like skin.

I ordered a black sport band and a green sport band.
 
The ones I'm planning on ordering are the white and black sport bands. I was thinking about the milanese, but not sure how good that will look. I was thinking about a leather one, but I'm still undecided as far as that goes.
 
I ordered a black leather loop and black sports. Just to change up the look and feel from time to time. I think the black case will look great with offsetting colours. Really looking forward to the Product Red strap making an appearance.
Ordered at 3:15am eastern still sitting on June delivery.

This is the first time I've head of the Product Red strap. I'd really like that one if Apple does choose to make it. Would looks sleek with the Black AW. I'd also like this yellow strap pictured here. Yellow and black tend to go good with each other, so this one I hope makes it to market as well.

I haven't ordered my SS Space Black Apple Watch/Space Black link yet, but that is the one on my agenda when the time comes.....I'm waiting to see how things go in general with people's watches and also when things start moving in a positive direction in terms of the SS SB being received by those who did pre-order.

Am I the only female on here who is interested? Seems as though most of the people who've posted here in this thread are guys. ??

I like the stainless steel silver link bracelet and watch, too, but there is just something about that black combo that makes my little heart go pitty-patter......

When I do order my SS SB watch I'll also order the green sports band just because I think it is fun for a change every now and then, and the green will go nicely with the green Smart covers on my iPads and the green silicone case on my iPhone 6 Plus..... That black link band, though, is the one which has won my heart....and the black Apple Watch itself, too. Saw photos and said, "ooooh...!!!" Saw the actual watch and link bracelet in person at the Apple store and said, "oooooooooooooh!!!!" It's sleek, it's elegant, the black will make everything on the screen just pop, oh, boy! Me wants. Me wants NOW. I can't wait until the day when I will finally have one on my wrist!

I've read reports that the tactic engine is to blame for the delays of the watch in general. It is being reported that the watches produced with defective tactic engines had to be scrapped. Maybe they had to scrap the Black SS they had ready to go hence the delay. Who knows....

That would explain why mine had to have the most aggressive setting of taptic feedback and the pre-emptive and i still barely noticed it. How about just a vibrate function guys its not That upsetting.

Please don't. All discussions on the supply issue are to be on the thread assigned to it.

This will affect ALL watch availability. The fact that some models are more available than others is Apple's way of trying to meet the most popular orders (at least, that seems the most likely reason for producing the others).

Do you have inside knowledge that I don't? My post is about this model and this model only. Who are you to say the the availability of lower cost models is due to trying to meet higher demand first, that's clearly speculation. At any rate I'm not talking about those models I'm talking about the Black SS, therefore my post is here.

...that you can think a component common to all of the models is somehow affecting just the model that we want???

If our model is lower yield and more time consuming, then ours would be disproportionally delayed.

I'm not here to argue, I'm just trying to keep everyone here apprised of possible delays for our model.
