The SS Apple Watch Leather Loop update thread

Good morning Australia:
I just wanted to let you guys know that my separate leather loop band got charged overnight.

I know people are waiting for their watches just like I do but this might be an indicator of things starting to move for the leather loop gang!

Order on – Model – Delivery ETA
21/04 – Bright Blue Leather Loop Large – May
-> CC charged

With the Watch or a separate accessory? I ordered mine in the early hours of the 12th and I haven't seen any activity, although mine's a Medium (accessory).

Separate band.
I will have a charging cable and a separate band before I have any watches.
Feels like Lego to me.
 
Seems like these are getting rolled out internationally (for North America) first just like we saw some of the other device variants do. These charges in Deutschland and Australia point to a USA shipping wave soon!

I had a leather loop order placed with the Apple band swap program (I ordered a 42 SS BSB that's currently on my wrist.

The person who made the swap combined it with my original order and said that should move you up in line, but the delivery date will still say June. I'm curious as to if the band swap program does indeed move band-only orders up to the original timestamp.

It does nothing but make you feel you got somewhere. Like my speaking to a supervisor last week. I realize now, it was just another way to put you off.
 
I ordered a separate LL (black) for my sport watch with white sport band.

The cool thing is, I'll probably find it's moved from processing when the Citibank app taps my wrist, notifying me of payment. :)

Yes, but I didn't press/ask when I was getting the band (automatically assuming I'd just be in line like everyone else). She just said it herself - regardless, I'm not getting my hopes up; I'm simply relaying a message.

Yeah, the supervisor after reinstating my order said that he thought there would be movement soon and would keep a watch out for any movement.

Waiting for this thing to start shipping is giving me a movement.
 
Woo hoo!!! My extra band black LL medium is preparing for shipment today!

Well a little mystery! Two pending charges just showed up on my cc. One for the extra Black sports band I ordered, which now shows a Preparing for Shipping status. But another mysterious pending hold showed up for what *might* be the Apple Care policy I ordered for my SS with BLL. Either that or it's a 10% hold on the Watch itself?? Still shows as processing. I ordered at xx:18 on the 10th and have a 5/13 - 5/27 delivery window. Probably grasping at straws!

Where you live
 
Movement of the LL bands has to be a good sign. At least we know they're producing SOME. The complete watches with LL bands can't be far behind. I feel like they will start shipping in the next day or two.
 
Order at xx:03
42 as black leather loop
38 pink leather buckle

No movement at all. I'm in USA

Mine was still at June so asked apple for an update. They just said June so I have cancelled.

Just got fed up of waiting.

One if you should get yours a bit quicker now.

Mine is still stuck in June, but people who ordered on the 10th are still waiting while there is still no word from Apple as to what is going on. Sorry you decided to cancel. I haven't gotten to that point yet.
 
I saw a band leather black loop 42 medium go to shipping but what about mine with the watch with medium Ordered a 3 past on the tenth
 
Welp... I just got an alert from Apple that they're preparing to ship something to me.......

Of course it's just the sport band I ordered along with my LL watch. So I'll now have a band but no watch.

Perfect. ;)

So now, you can sit and look at your band and imagine what it will look like with the watch whenever Apple starts shipping them. #
 
Another order here for a separate 42mm Large Leather Loop band that's gone to "Preparing for Shipment".

Also got temporary authorization on CC.
