Good luck getting any discernible amount of quality out of that $5 Wish piece of trash
I ordered the GB one, then wanted an England band and realised the Canadian band has the England flag colours so ordered that as well. Football is coming home.

No they won’t. The bands are representative of the olympic teams. Wales doesn’t participate with its own team, but rather goes as part of the Great Britain team along with England and Scotland.
I have a mix of official bands and super cheap bands from Amazon, and while there is a difference in quality, sometimes the Amazon band is "good enough." Not all of them are pieces of trash.
For example. Rhys is from N. Ireland, chose to represent Ireland in most international comps. Represents N. Ireland in the Commonwealth Games
I agree with you, both that they won't expand the line and that these are, without saying it directly, Olympic bands.
However, I think it would be awesome if they did expand the line over the years to include as many countries as possible.
But there is an island with that name, which contains England, Wales and Scotland. Presumably, the olympic team only represents those three territories rather than the entire UK, and that would explain why they go as Great Britain and not UK.
Only shows what Is on the picture I posted.. No option to download, only tells me to open the page and the page is obviously open.
I still haven't gotten my purchase acknowledgment email. I wasn't signed into the store but, did pay with Apple Pay.
Nothing special, just copied the link from apple’s website. Which for some strange reason wasn’t being shown to you. Enjoy the watchface.
They would also work for Poland, Singapore, Austria, Belarus, Indonesia, England, Turkey, Switzerland, and Monaco (and probably a few other red-white flag countries I'm missing).
Almost correct. The olympic team is called GB, but it does represent all of the UK. Here, from Wikipedia:
I mean. A crap ton of countries use red, white and blue. You can just buy any red, white and blue band and say it represents that country. If it isn't listed.
In my experience, Apple Watch straps are worth their money. I know someone that bought a knock off sports band from Amazon that snapped within 3 months 😂 why buy cheap when you’re going to have to spend more money every few months anyway? They’ll also feel cheap and probably irritate your skin if it’s wet or sweaty.
They really managed to suck out all the personality of every flag/nation and reduced it to some sort of minimalist IKEA design for a rug or towel.
I mean, I’m all for minimalist designs. But when several countries and bands are basically the same colors and design then you’ve probably taken it too far.
Why not make them in materials and design that aren’t as easily copied and stand out?
