Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

paultopia said:
Ugh, I just got my bands from that Best Buy sale, and one half of the Nike one is so tight in the lug that I'm worried that I won't be able to remove it from my watch. Kinda wondering if they somehow got manufacturing defect ones or something.

It looks nice, but I'm going to be really angry if it ruins my watch.

(edit: maybe it was just weirdly sticky. I shoved it on and off a few times and its a *little* looser now. Very strange. The other band is normal...)

The newer nike sport bands seems to have issues with their lugs. I noticed it when i bought the nike pride band a couple of months ago, i returned it a couple of times until i landed on a decent fitting one. It was still a little harder than normal definitely not as smooth as the older nike sport bands. Seems like the qc has gone down a little bit.

My watch seems fine though, i change my watch bands a lot throughout the day.

Try washing it? I wonder if that works at all in loosening it.

Thank you. I’ll check that out. I also posted two of my sealed OEM bands on the marketplace here to trade. I’m debating on buying the cape cod blue nylon from Best Buy before the sale ends.
 
Found a 38mm marine green for $59 obo. I was able to snag the 42mm. Little christmas gift for myself.

It came up a little while back but always good to check in and of course we gotta add Plum. I need some time to evaluate Cyprus though. I don’t own marine green, but I don’t know if there’s room for it with spearmint and seafoam. And I need more time with sky blue, but I’m leaning no on it.

Peach, plum, clementine, ultra violet, surf blue, blue gen 2, vitamin c, papaya, rose red, red raspberry, camellia, Hermes orange, dark teal, blue horizon, cornflower, lavender gray, flamingo, walnut, spearmint, seafoam, flash, yellow, mellow yellow, fog, cloud, khaki, coastal gray.

Friendly reminder that Best Buy still has tons of current and past season bands on sale for $30. Also, I don’t think this was posted earlier, but that sale also takes the Diver Blue leather loop down to $80. Looks to be basically a slightly more saturated Midnight Blue. But, it may also end up being the last leather loop Apple ever makes...

Do these actually ship? I ordered one last year and it sat in a pending status for weeks. I ended up canceling the order. Last week I ordered a cape cod band and it too is just in a holding pattern with no movement.

I certainly hope so. I ordered one as a Christmas present for my wife. It’s supposed to be ready for pickup at my local store on Wednesday. So, I guess I’ll know then.

Yes they do. I just received 3 bands from Best Buy. I have 8 more packages in USPS limbo since Nov 30th from eBay/Mercari. The news did a segment on the thousands of late packages that were “still in transit ”

their in-store tags are also marked down to $30, so I don't think it's a mistake.

I shipped 9 packages using USPS from Mercari on 11/30. They still haven't moved from the local post office. It's pretty bad.

I got a shipping notice and a USPS tracking number on Tuesday of last week for my Pride Sport Loop from the Best Buy sale, but tracking still says it hasn't been picked up as of this morning. Supposed to be here by Wednesday, but I have my doubts. :(
