Awz. Tell us more about whose comments and what ideas shouldn't be expressed.

And what do we do when you aren't around to arbitrate?!

How do we know what comments are ok'z?!

Comments are OK when commenters take their time to read the article. Otherwise it's just useless noise, or plain trolling.

If the article clearly states a independent firm is making Watch bands, then you simply can't comment asking for Tim Cook's head or whining about "lack of innovation".

I know all that. That's just what I wish to see everytime I go to MR, but all I ever get are Watch Bands (yes, I know Apple doesn't make these).

All you ever get on MR is watch bands articles? What the hell are you saying? Stupidity just hit a new low.

Like this post if you don't care.

Like seriously, who cares about watch bands? I think Tim Cook is the only guy in the world who would show off watch bands and their new designs on a Keynote presentation.

I can't stress how much of a moron the guy is.

It's amazing how many people who claim to NOT care, care enough to read the entire article and scroll down to the comments area to like a post to claim that they too don't care which, ironically, only serves to tell publishers that there's strong interest, ensuring more articles about Apple Watch bands.

For the last several months, well-known luxury brand Coach has been quietly working on a set of designer Apple Watch bands created to match Coach handbags, and now those bands are set to debut on June 12.

Haute Écriture's David Boglin de Bautista has been sharing details on the design of the bands gleaned from sales representatives and over the weekend, he learned Coach retail stores will be receiving the bands starting next week.

Coach is planning to release the bands in three styles: Leather Strap with Charms, Wild Beast Camo, and Tea Rose Appliqué, with each style available in three colors for a total of nine bands. High-quality photos of each style were shared by de Bautista.

Coach salespeople are readily sharing information on the bands with customers, and a redditor was able to snap a photo of a product guide that depicts all of the new bands and their color options. Leather Strap comes in black, white, and saddle brown, while the Wild Beast Camo band is available in denim, military green, and saddle brown. The Tea Rose band will be available in black, white, and tawny orange. All bands are listed as women's bands and will be priced at $150.

Coach has reportedly made the Apple Watch bands in small quantities and one sales representative told de Bautista that she expects them to sell out quickly. The bands will be available in select stores in California, Nevada, and New York, and will not initially be available online.

It was originally unclear if Coach was teaming up with Apple on the bands or releasing them independently, but it appears the bands will not be sold by Apple. Apple offers its own line of Apple Watch models and luxury bands through a partnership with Hermès.

Macrumors ! Do you realise you are causing sentient human beings to spend unrepaeatable parts of their existence writing articles about watch straps.

What the hell is wrong with you?
I did not criticize MR for reporting about Watch Bands in any form. I'm aware that they can't talk about product updates if there aren't any. I've been waiting for new MacBooks since the March event and everytime I visit MR, I hope that APPLE has announced anything that I can find out about via MR.

So calm down, man. The only thing that hit a new low is the niveau of this forum, thanks to disrespectful and insulting comments like yours.

I think apple has really grown too big for its boots. Pink laptops and flower watch bands are not innovative products. They are no longer a nimble company who can woo with new and exciting products. If memory and colour configurations are counted as products, apple has Hundreds of products. Just as it did in its failing years before Steve turned it around, had reduced it to just 4 products. Too many things, lack of focusing on what is actually important.

You're revising history to suit your own narrative. The iMac introduced colors. Very little innovation during the original iMacs life, with annual updates consisting mostly of new color options. The same for the MacBook. Then the iPod took over as the new device offering multiple colors. Steve Jobs is the guy who "innovated" with color. It's in Apple's DNA, no matter how much you wish it weren't so. And memory choice has always been an option in all of Apple's devices. So nothing new there either.

Seriously, people don't get it. Why are they complaining about THIRD PARTY watch bands? Apple didn't take time out of designing other products to make these because they are from another company. It seems that reading comprehension must be a little lacking on this article.

You and your mate simply don't understand what people are commenting about. They are commenting that this is the only Apple related news out there right now because Apple is not releasing any new products to talk about despite a long list of requirements in the customer base such as new MBPs, new Display, new Mac Pro, new Mac mini, better iTunes, etc, etc. The list is very long because Apple are being very slow to release anything. If Apple got off their lazy complacent arse and starting rolling out new products then sites like this wouldn't have to scramble round looking for any Apple product related news hence they probably wouldn't even report crappy new watch bands because nobody gives a **** about new watch bands.

Check out MR stories. What's the percentage of "Watch Bands" stories? 1/1000? You're blatantly wrong, and digging deeper.

Man, you really annoy me. You still don't get it, do you? @Shaun, UK explained it a couple of comments earlier. Read it and maybe you'll get it so you can finally stop digging deeper any stupid stories you made up in your head.
 
I'm amazed at the level of innovation that has been coming out of Cupertino since the passing of Steve Jobs. Amazing new watch bands come out several times a year. That's incredible compared to what Samsung has been working on - bendable smart phones.

They will probably sell a lot of these to people exporting Coach items back to China (once they are in the Coach Outlets). Though I am not sure how much of a hit the Apple Watch was there. While I do hate that Apple news includes things like fashion items now.....they look pretty good. Clearly thought went into the designs.

Maybe someday Apple will do without the fashion world and get back to selling technology.
