Apple Drops $149 Price Tag of Milanese and Leather Loop Apple Watch Bands to $99

[Peter K.]

Is this normal - the milanese loop with the SSSB Series 5 does not feel soft, looks like that on the picture and is not fixed to the connector?

Quality issue only with my Series 5?

Not sure about the “softness”, but my Series 3 Milanese Loop does not fully detach like that.

Do you have the same „crincles“ on the strap?

I can’t comprehend how people buy knockoff bands.

One obvious example: if I want any form of woven nylon band, I have to go third parties, as Apple no longer sells it.

Some companies use interesting materials such as wood to build watch band, which Apple does not have.

While knockoff is terrible, third party band can be decent from time to time.
