Ti sport band...I know it’s a good price but is it like way below more desirable Edition bands? I feel like the two titanium bands are not as exciting as the ceramics
New Anchor Gray Sport Loop - Apple Watch on Mercari
New genuine Apple Anchor Gray 44 mm Sport Loop. Fits both 42 and 44 mm devices. Open box but unused. Includes band and box. Retails for $49
Thank you! This thread is dangerous. I’ve already purchased 3 bands since following it haha
Brand new and sealed! I wonder where Best Buy found this whole stash of new (old) bands all of a sudden! ?

That's a 40mm, right?
All of these Best Buy boxes seem to have been buried in a warehouse somewhere. Some of the boxes are trashed or open and they seem to have secondary stickers on the back (starting with PT).
My dragon fruit sport loop came today open box. Will be sending this one back.
Spearmint was new unopened.
What do people make of this eBay seller based here in the UK? They’ve got a lot of boxed straps, but there are a few unboxed straps that I’m thinking about buying
Do they look genuine to those of you with a better eye than me?

And I hear you! Having purchased no new bands for about a year and a half, and been stuck home unable to do anything most the year, I've picked up 18 bands in the last 6 weeks - all thanks to this forum! Send help.
I got my Cape Cod Blue in yesterday in a pristine box. It’s crazy how much variation there is with these. I’m guessing BB has no clue about the re-sale market and need for boxes with these bands.
My Dragon Fruit Sport Loop came in a sealed box. Same with Hyper Grape and Storm Gray Sport Loops that I ordered. All 3 boxes were slightly bent, but I assume it's because of the packaging they use for shipping.
I'm still debating about the Spearmint Sport Loop. Not sure that I would wear it, and if I decided to sell it, I'm sure I'd get nowhere near the $50 (+ tax) I'd spend on it.
My spearmint, dragon fruit loop and band as well as the electric blue buckle were all sealed in pristine boxes. Got lucky I guess!

I haven’t purchased from them myself, but the cheap ones on Walmart are actually by third party sellers (the black one says Sold by iTek) not direct from Walmart and are the silicon ones that come in the plastic bags. The official Apple ones will say they are sold by Walmart.For anyone looking to add a black sport band to your collection, WalMart has them for crazy cheap. 44 mm is $8.27 and 40 mm is $10.27 with free shipping.

edit: looking at the photos for the 44mm ones, it looks like some people got real bands, most got knockoffs. It depends who they actually ordered from. A lot of the 1-star reviews say they are fake.

decent price for these if anybody is desperately looking
What is this? It looks like UV, but it can’t be. Midnight blue with terribly misleading lighting? Might be a good deal if you want the gold pin?

Yeah looks like Midnight with crazy lighting. UV was never offered with colored pins.
I've bought a couple from them. You are pretty safe with the boxed ones, but the colour identification on the unboxed ones is a bit hit-and-miss... I ordered Pollen, got Lemonade. They then corrected the listing once I pointed it out.What do people make of this eBay seller based here in the UK?

Yep - gotta be really careful who you're actually ordering from on these platforms.
Chances are the $41 versions sold by Walmart are the real deal and the $8 versions aren't.
Good advice! I had never ordered a band from WalMart so I didn’t know to look out for this. Guess you have to treat it like any other marketplace.
I just (finally) got my Baltic Blue leather link. I think it looks a bit more blue.
