Apple Releases Over 20 New Apple Watch Bands and AirTag Accessories, Including New Hermès 'Casaque' Line

They removed the solo loop midnight color, lucky me that I purchased it months ago…at least they kept the color for the braided one (for now).

I’m surprised no new sport loop bands were released.

Me as well and I'm pretty disappointed by this. Guess I'm holding onto my current band until the fall at this point.

Bright orange for my Midnight will be cool for the summer. Should be good contrast.

Lame. No new Nike sport bands.

But that bright green band is kinda cool. Like kiwi candy.

This is a godsend.
I keep misplacing my boat keys.
Will love to have the $349 engraved as well, so people will notice that I'm affluent..

Yes!! I was coming here to post that at $99 I am out. Suckered once... mine lasted barely 6 months before it was too loose. And I had bought a good fit, wasn't loose, wasn't tight...just normal wear and after a few months was hanging off my wrist, rendering unwearable. Bought a velcro sport band on amazon for $7 and have had zero issues since...although I did love the loop. Cannot justify the price..

I'd say the key to getting more time out of the braided loop is to find the band that fits perfectly and then buy one size smaller.. You're right though, $99 (U.S.) is steep for what you get.

So I was looking all over the internet for few months to find and buy overpriced (same as new one) Braided solo Inverness Green and Apple comes back with similar color now?
How dare you

That orange band with black watch reminds me of the Halloween colors of orange and licorice (black) jelly beans

And what if your band size is 1?

I too swim in the pool of our tears fellow ultra brothers and sisters. I cannot believe they came out with all these new bands and nothing for the ultra. I suppose the 3 billionaires who can afford a Hermes band will be happy though.

I have been hoping they’d come out with a black Alpine loop band, I don’t trust those cheap knock offs on Amazon. A red and orange ocean band would have been nice too.

🥶

Disappointed there's no love for the Ultra bands.

Right???? Love your handle!! Did you get tour tickets?

 

[chrono1081]

I'm sorry but what on earth are those prices for the air tag holders!? $299 - $349!?

I really like Sprout, but there is no way I’m going to pay that much for a band that is going to get stretched out.As for the sport bands, I already have fog blue and kumquat which look exactly like the new ones.

Yeah, I'm gonna start looking for something else, as well. It's a bummer because Apple makes this big deal about measuring your wrist and getting the perfect size. If I could go back, I'd probably still buy it...just a smaller one.

No new Nike bands, no interest. What a disappointment.

 

[satchmo]

If you listen carefully you can hear the beeping of the Brinks truck backing up at Apple HQ carrying the proceeds from the Spring watch band collection.

 

[roland.g]

There are a few bands here and there that come out that are decent, but overall the color options released every year are quite abysmal.

 

[roland.g]

so apple wants 849 for a Hermes band. that's more than the watch sheesh..

I can't decide what is funnier, that or the Hermes AirTags keychains for $299 and $349.

A little New Jack City there Tim. Lay off the pipe.

 

[tardman91]

What crap! No new Ultra bands or Nike bands. Boo!

 

[RedGT]

No new Nike bands, no interest. What a disappointment.

Yes in my opinion they are the best, love the fact that there’s a bit of ventilation going on!

Who hasn’t watched their horse race and thought “my god that jockey looks stylish.”

You don't like old lady curtain colors?

Seriously though they really are freaking bad. I don't get why any of these colors get approved.

 

[BugeyeSTI]

And what if your band size is 1?

Look for a different type of band...

I'm enjoying my "cheap Knockoff" black alpine loop from Aliexpress and the quality is amazing.
