How is the Black Nike Sport Loop? This is the strap i want the most, so i think i'm going to get the blue sport band, use that for a couple of weeks and then switch to the loop when it comes out!
Preordered mine this morning, my first Apple Watch ever. 
Decided to play it safe and opt for the longer strap length, and this has pushed the delivery date out to 4th - 8th November.

It’s great, currently my favourite.
I have some photos here:

Top man thank you!
Ordered my Series 5 today, had the series 0 but sold it a few years ago so this will be my first step back in after 9 months with a Garmin and yearning for more! Also got that loop on order for october too!
Word of advice, Apple may have the loop available in store. The Nike sport loop I wanted said it would be delivered 4th October online as I wasn’t able to make it a part of my order. Popped into the regent street store and the guy said they have them in stock, can buy them whenever. So planning to get the Summit White Nike loop when I pick mine up Friday, although I’m hoping I can just swap out the band I bought with the Nike one as it wasn’t an option online. Let’s see whether Apple will be feeling generous on the day.
How long does it take for apple to charge your card / process the payment, normally its instant but I'm guessing because of the high order volume this will vary
Ordered my watch yesterday, haven't been charged

I ordered mine on the night they were announced for delivery on 9 Oct. They usually put a hold on your card for a while and it then drops off until they dispatch it. They haven’t even done that this time.
Interesting reading this thread that a few others are like me - I had a series 1 and 2, sold it for decent money and most recently used a Guess Android Wear watch. It's actually not bad, but does miss the deep integration (the wear os app is rubbish).
Anyway, I went for the nike watch - previously I've regretted not going for it, so this time I'm waiting it out.
Watch as stated is better integrated obviously. I love stainless steel, but it's just not worth the mega money on top, especially when I don't need nor want cellular. Despite probably not using the nike faces much, I just don't know why you'd not want extra faces?

I agree. The first Apple Watch I had was SS. But since then they have all been aluminium, and I do like the Nike model and cannot justify the extra £300 for the SS.
I’ll be checking out the aluminium and stainless steel watches today just to confirm I prefer the SS
I haven't had a smartwatch before but I'm starting a serious health kick in a couple of weeks time so I decided to get one to track how I do. Picking up in store on the 20th. I went for an aluminium case and the black/blue sport loop. Excited to see just how out of shape I am
Same here, already have S4 and will close them off once I send to Music Magpie. Took out two additional lines. Had a text confirmation
no, not until next week I’m afraid! Just been into an Apple store in Norwich
didn’t realise there was “only” a £100 difference between SS and titanium.... although also £100 extra AppleCare
Can anybody tell me, if I sync music to the watch via my phone, then delete the music from the iPhone, does it stay on the watch. I have tried Googling it but cannot find the answer.
Ordered mine this morning now that the gift card from my trade in came through. Went for the SG AL 44mm with black Milanese loop.
If you log in online scroll down slightly in the main page after you log in, it should show your outstanding orders
Not seeing that anywhere lol. I rang and they said the order confirmation should come through tomorrow..
