Yoinked. I said I wasn’t gonna get any leather links but I love this color so I’m going to get one at this great price and see how I like it.

I just want to fast forward six months to a year from when I got my first one so we can know if the design starts to look good in the way that eventually the 2019 and 2020 sport loops started jelling. With every weird Apple decision I always say “the designers have lived with this for months”...usually it works out.
 
Can anyone tell me what color this is? It says 42mm on the band. Looks like it has a gold pin but maybe the photo is just off because I can't find a band similar to this color with a gold pin on Bandbreite.

@mizmimi02 just asked about this one. I would avoid this seller. I bought this exact listing from them, along with a woven nylon. They forgot to include the woven nylon. I messaged them and they just said I can buy another band from them and he’ll ship it with that. I figured that’s scummy, but okay... so I bought Blue G1 from him. He sent the woven nylon with it... but the S/M to the blue was 38mm, so it was unusable for me. After that, he ghosted, and I had to get eBay involved (they didn’t care) and eventually PayPal to force a chargeback.

That guy sucks.

That's good to know! Someone I know has one for sale that I can buy, I was just perusing colors and wasn't sure about that one. I'm sorry this guy isn't above board. People like him should be banned from selling. I will put him on my "do not buy from" list for sure!

What color is this band? Size is 40. Might be going back despite getting it for 17 because the s/m and m/l portion take some doing to get them to actually click in (lots of wiggling just so before you hear the click)

Nike Sport Black/Pink Blast 40mm for $40 shipped

Nike Sport Black/Lime Blast 40mm for $40 shipped
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Ap...595285&hash=item36740034d5:g:uC4AAOSwTyJgEcBW

They're from the same seller so perhaps they'd combine shipping. Too bad they aren't my size lol

People are really gouging any and every discontinued Nike band these days, especially Lime Blast, someone should jump on these

If you have a hard time fitting it to the watch then it might be one of the newer bands. Surf blue perhaps. The pic's a bit too small to tell.

Question... the watchbands 40 & 44 mm had the same size (thickness & width)?

a 40 mm can be used on a 44 mm watch?
Click to expand...
Yes, it’ll technically work, but if you use a 40mm band on a 44mm watch, you’ll get gaps on either side, since the width is technically smaller. Actually I think length is smaller too.

The "brand new and sealed" Cactus band I bought on Poshmark arrived today. <facepalm>

I just don’t understand how people think that’s going to fly. I have gotten really cautious buying there and on Mercari. Unless the seller posts or sends really clear pictures of the band condition, I pass no matter what the price is.

Recently was looking at a band on Mercari. The condition was listed as “Like New” but all the pictures were in crap light so you couldn’t see the condition of the band. Asked the seller to share some pictures in good lighting. He claimed his iPhone 8 was too old to take any better pictures. Nope!
