The new watch faces look good.

That's what a friend of mine told me yesterday lmaoo

I wish they did other "event" bands and faces like Christmas, <insert country> day, Halloween, Yuri night, etc..

I say it couple times a year but hey: I wish Apple did special bands and faces for more than just Black History and Pride Month. Major Holidays, World Events etc. The myopathy of scope is bizarre.

Yes, and they do it for the Chinese Lunar New Year, but not for American Independence Day or other US patriotic holidays. Backwards priorities for an American company in my view.

I like the colors of some of the gay pride bands, and I have two of the earlier models. But I’m a live and let live person so I don’t think the new bands need to scream PRIDE like they do, so I won’t be getting this new one. And those new faces are too hard to read.

The Apple ones I've owned almost all lasted longer (and still in great condition) compared to the knock offs I've bought over the years. Maybe they're not worth the full price, but definitely worth it if you can get it with a discount/ebay at 70%-80% of the cost.

I have a rockstar leatherworks one that is way nicer than anything apple makes, as well as a Wide cuff nylon one and a dark stainless steel one. they’re all still going strong for 5 years now

Since comments are disabled on the post about the new one, I’ll have to say it here. All the past ones looked really good, especially the one which was most recent until the current one.

The current one does not look as good, and the watch face makes me feel like I’m having a stroke. It’s like a magic eye poster gone wrong.

The Nike one actually does look really good though in the pictures.

And the ”on” (white backlit) one is even worse.

I still can’t even imagine buying an official apple band… they’re soooo overpriced and a band is something easily replicated by third parties, often for the better

I’ve bought both official Apple Watch bands and cheap knock offs. The Apple Watch bands last for years and still look good. The cheap knockoffs fall apart in months. The official bands are worth it for the quality.

I'm guessing they wouldn't sell well enough to make money, or I imagine they'd already do it.
