I have one being held at Best Buy, going to wait thru the day today to see if I get a charge/ship. I would prefer to do EIP, but can buy outright.

Yeah Best Buy has sport band models near me but no sport loops anywhere at all (even though they have tons of separately-purchased sport loops sitting on the shelf). I’m debating going to grab one because I’m still completely in the dark with no charge from T-Mobile and 9/21-10/9 ship date (at least it’s not backordered I guess).

I’m thinking maybe there’s some kind of problem with the sport loop/44mm SG shipments because they aren’t anywhere at all.

I went to an apple store just to see, plenty of sport loops.
 
44mm Silver Aluminum with Sport Loop. I updated my billing info around noon Pacific time and i now have tracking in UPS My Choice. It does say estimated delivery 9/21 on one page but I don’t see that happening since it is originating in IN and I am in CA. Monday still works for me as I am leaving the country on Thursday and really just wanted it before my trip. My wife’s 40mm Gold Aluminum with Sport Band is arriving tomorrow(9/21).

So it miraculously made it from KY to CA overnight even after the label just being created yesterday afternoon. For a bit this morning UPS said delivery tomorrow, Saturday, but now it is on truck for delivery today. So both mine and my wife’s, ordered within 30 minutes of preorders opening are being delivered today now.

With watch. They reserved the wrong one for me, so ended up with Sports band. All good tho.
Yeah I gave up and went to my local T-Mobile store where they had 44mm Aluminum Sport Bands in stock, practically nobody there. Grabbed that on EIP and cancelled my pre-order then ordered a sport loop for $35 on eBay. Loving the watch.

You could get 4 loops on amazon for that! In fact...off to amazon!
 
Didn't pre-order. Chatted with TMO on my phone (TMobile App) and had them hold one at a B&M. Walked in, paid, and out in 10 minutes.

Yeah they have ample stock at all the T-Mobile stores and Best Buy’s near me.
 
I have the 44mm Gold Aluminum and I love the color and feel of the Watch. It don’t feel big on my wrist at all. The Sports Loop is also much more comfortable than my Sports Band on my S2.

Looks Awesome. My local T-Mobile has the 44 SB with the sport band available. I think I might just get it and cancel my sport loop band order.

Yeah there’s no telling when they’ll have the sport loops, I would suggest grabbing a sport band and selling the band
 
Did anyone receive a delayed shipping date when they ordered their watch. My original date was 10/17-12/31 but I was charged over the weekend and received tracking on Saturday. No movement yet — UPS doesn’t even have the watch — but it shows delivery for Tuesday.
