Buying discontinued Apple Watch bands

[rdoane]

Quick question, is there a reliable place to buy discontinued Apple Watch bands that isn't eBay?

I'm looking for an Alpine Loop, medium, in orange. However, most everything on eBay looks to be a replica.

Thanks in advance!

Not really. It's hit or miss...but Amazon. I found a Leather Maglink band on there (new) recently; didn't order it and now it's gone

They are all over ebay and amazon in factory packaging.

I got the leather modern buckles, sport loop, and the ink leather link from TJMaxx and Ross at discounted prices. Usually around this time when the new watches come out and up to the holidays they have straps from previous years like from the Apple Watch Series 8 era that are sold up to 75% lower than Apple’s retail price.

Apparently, Woot. I took advantage of this recently:

Shoppers should note that this sale is focused on colors of the Braided Solo Loop and Solo Loop that Apple has stopped selling, and it doesn't include any of the new band colors. That being said, all of the bands in this sale are in new condition.
