44mm Purple Pulse sport band $30. Same seller as @athousandbands posted above. The seller has a bunch more S5 era bands for sale, including Khaki and discounted Milanese Loops.

My bands arrived today from this eBay seller. Ordered 5 different bands and all were authentic Apple products in sealed boxes. One interesting thing the price sticker on the back of the boxes was Euro pricing.

Mine just came in today as well. Most of them had the Euro stickers as well. The ones that did not had residue where they were before. Interesting. All also had the Cork address versus Cupertino.

Clementine 40mm $30

Desert Sand band 40mm $30

Pink Blast loop 44mm $30
 
A few of these sellers are calling the sport band sport loop. Are they just mislabelled?

Sport Band = 2 pieces
Sport Loop = 1 piece

Looking at the Khaki one.

Looking at the Khaki one.
Go by the model numbers as there are a few that have been poorly labeled. The model numbers have proven to be accurate for the people who received bands ordered last week. All have been brand new in box so these are very good prices.

Also, for Khaki specifically, the seller has both the sport band and the sport loop for sale so double check you are looking at the right listing.

Can confirm. The seller had the Pine Green listed as 38/40/42/44 and I was confused. Checked the model number and it came up as 44. When I got it, it was indeed 44mm. So make sure to go by the model number just to be sure. I'm thinking there are going to be a lot of bands from this seller coming up, so keep your eyes peeled for ones you may want.
 
Seller added 40mm Pomegranate sport loop for $23


A different seller has 42mm Blue pinstripe woven nylons for $20 OBO. Also selling 38mm Black pinstripe and Soft White sport bands in both sizes.

Bought from the above seller before. No problems. Item was as described and had no problems. I think I posted about the Black pinstripe before but I could be wrong and forgot.

Other news, rake-rock posted more:

Desert Sand/Black Sport Band 44mm $29:

Alaskan Blue Sport Band 44mm $23:

Lava Glow Nike Sport Loop, 44mm $29:

He also had the 2019 Pride Sport Loop and plain black Sport Band as well but I figured those weren't worth posting. Not as good as price. Side note, no offense to those that like it, but I almost bought the Lava Glow and I'm glad I looked it up first because it's soooo dull. Probably the first Nike band that I haven't at least liked in the slightest.

It’s dull but it’s also super unique. The only white fuzz Nike. I would say splurge, it might surprise you, especially if you don’t mind the white fuzz/dark rails sport loops from year one of Apple loops.

It’s also the one Nike that almost maybe delivers on the nighttime visibility thing, if that kind of thing applies.

And, c’mon, it has the name lava in it 😉

I have bought 17 bands in the last 60 days. At this rate my bank is gonna start flagging these transactions! Lol. Plus the white fuzz aren't exactly my favorite. I have the original Midnight Blue and compared to the later bands it's so... blah.

Maybe if the new bands disappoint I'll snag it as a spare workout band, like what I use my Olive Flak SL for.

Going to chime in and say I actually enjoy every time I rotate back to Royal Pulse/Lava Glow. Pairs well with light or dark watches

Not trying to convince you otherwise or anything but just wanted to chime in on this one since I actually do enjoy this particular band and find it unique in its own way.
 
I got 2 bands from that eBay seller and it’s tempting to buy more. Do I wait a few more days for new bands or do I order the Khaki and Beryl sport bands. Decisions!
 
Glad you finally caved in to RP/LG. I remember you said that was one you wouldn’t get. I do recall being part of the reason as I was an early adopter of that band. Just a special unique one IMO and I don’t own any “white fuzz” old loops so guess that’s my one right there lol
Yes all credit goes to your photos. I do really love wearing it for dog walks at night.

Def get khaki. Beryl is nice but more or less all the light turquoise bands are kind of created equal. Not that they look the same but they all offer their own satisfaction.
