The Apple Store app for the iPhone allows you to look through all of the Apple Watch models right now, and so does the website.  When you find one or two models you want, you can favorite them in the app so that you can get to them quickly when the Apple Store comes back online.  This will help you get the option you want without wasting time finding the page, choosing the size, picking the color and band combination and then adding it to your cart.  You can create several favorites and save them for fast access when you get online late at night.
