Confirm same batch with you. Timing all same.
From my past experiences buying from Apple Online, normally within 3 working days once it reach the Subang airport. Fastest i experienced is within 2 hours upon clearance of custom in Subang airport.

Im considering the braided solo loop earlier, but ended up went for the silicon solo loop. With solo loop, I dont get the bump at the inner wrist from the band overlapping bulge.

Really need to use some strength to put it on because of the strong elasticity. Need to stretch it wide open from the size of ur wrist to the size of ur palm.

But overall, i follow the recommended size from Apple and it fit nicely to my wrist.

I believed the braided version is less strong on the elasticity compared to full silicon. Quality and comfort wise is indisputable. Apart from the weight of watch that i get used to after period of time from wearing, i dont really feel anything with the band and tend to forget abt it.

The braided version look aesthetically more pleasing while can maintain the overall comforts and quality of the silicon. But take note that braided version tends to absorb water and sweat, so u need proper maintenance to keep it hygiene. Takes time to dry it as well after each cleaning. This is the reason i went for silicon, where it doesnt get soaked.

Just a little bit of sharing from having both aluminum and stainless steel for a night, the weight is stainless steel and aluminum have big impact in the wrist feedback.

Personally, I like the light weight of aluminum more, but the aesthetic and durability of stainless steel. Aluminum still a winner in my honest opinion.

Did you use the measurement tape from Apple's website and did you follow their sizing or go one size down?

And how is the fit? Just nice, too tight or too loose

Sorry, have to be sure because Apple Store MY doesn't allow free returns/exchange doh.gif

i bought the sport loop type no size to choose from, i let my wife try later. just check apple store again and notice there are sizes to choose from for solo loops

I use the measurement from Apple website. My wrist size is 140mm, and its on the low side of Size 3 (near to size 2). Snug fit but not tight.
I'll advice go with the Apple recommended size, no need for upsize or downsize it, unless u prefer smth loose or really tight.
