Apple this week updated the Apple Watch section of its website to make it easier for customers to try out different watch styles and find the look they want.

Cult of Mac notes that Apple has replaced the old basic scrolling Gallery section of the site with a more flexible one consisting of three tabs that enable users to mix and match Cases, Bands, and Faces.

Visitors to the Gallery can now click back and forth between the various options to experiment with different styles. Existing Apple Watch owners may also find the updated section more useful should they want to buy additional bands for their wearable.

At its media event this week, Apple introduced new color options to pre-existing bands like the Modern Buckle, Classic Buckle, and Sport Band, along with an entirely new offering in the Woven Nylon band. MacRumors has put together a breakdown of all of the new collections available to purchase on the Apple online store that you can view here.

Apart from the new Apple Watch collections, Apple introduced the iPhone SE and 9.7-inch iPad Pro during its "Let Us Loop You In" event on Monday. Catch up with the news in the MacRumors Event Recap and read more about various interesting details from the keynote.

Why don't you guys put links up front and clear... to the subject of the news post. Oh there it is, in the 3rd paragraph! o_O

Anyone else notice some repetition / blank images when looking at the gallery on iPhone? Some faces repeated and some bands didn't show...
 
If you have the space black one like me, your options are very limited and dull :(
 
Why does my modular face not look like the one on the left? (When looking at the screen)

It's disappointing it doesn't price out the selection (one would assume the selectable combinations would be available)
 
This is proof that Apple Watch was a flop. Price cutting won't help either. Because what sucks, just sucks, regardless of price point.
 
acedout is right.

You guys have a very peculiar definition of technology. There's more tech packed into an Apple Watch than what was available in laptops just a few years ago.

The only ones who would say that Apple Watch isn't hi-tech, ironically, are the ones who know very little about technology.

Correct. But I still got the safari notification. How did I filter non-technology news from that again please?

You can read the notification and decide "it's non-tech" and dismiss it.

Following the notification through just to comment seems a waste of time, especially as this site is Apple news, so you can't blame them for pushing the notification your way.

The iPhone received a much more substantial price cut when it was new.

This isn't a bluff or a double bluff, it's what Tim Cook said - they want more people to buy the Watch. For customers who aren't as price conscious (customers who would buy the stainless steel watch) there isn't a price reduction.

Why wasn't this feature introduced from the very beginning? It would've been very helpful.

Now, if only we could actually buy our custom-made watches instead of their predetermined selections.

This is badly needed. I don't know why Apple can't just let you buy the watch by itself then select the band you want and ship it.

"news and rumours you care about" right?
