Collectively I’m sure we’ve spent $10k with him. Beyond legit. Can make picking mistakes (though not for me) but will make it right.

Ugh, I could have searched it before I asked. Seems like you've answered that a few times, but thanks for taking the time to answer again.

Yup, he seems to have some pretty good stuff in there, although some overpriced. I wonder if someone can get a better deal if buy 4-5 together. Has anyone tried it before?

In the meantime, got this one for 15$ (coupon came in handy) from mercari. I think it was a pretty decent deal

Yeah I’m not a fan of his prices for all these recent bands. He was clutch for when I was going complete and had to get random old sport bands or some buckle leather. The real jackpot was the prototypes 😮‍💨

Nice yoink, cactus is two colors for the price of one and very glowy!

All good, I don’t think the search function is readily apparent, based on experience.

Lot of 15 Apple Watch Bands 42mm, 44mm + RhinoShield CrashGuard NX (USED) | eBay

A lot of 15 Apple Watch bands (all in 42/44mm sizing) in assorted colors and styles; most include the S/M and M/L bands. Also included are two RhinoShield CrashGuard NX shells + five extra inserts. I've moved to a different smart watch platform so these are just taking up space.

It’s still under Apple's regular warranty also. I think this is not a bad deal.

I'm not a pro weeding out legit vs non legit bands, but there is a linked seller in this thread recently I believe...selling Nike Sport Bands in -poly bag- with only a M/L band. Has them in multiple qty.....
Doesn't it make the spider senses make it a knockoff....

How to detect fake versus genuine authentic OEM Apple bands

This thread contains guidelines and pictures for helping people determine if a band is a genuine OEM Apple band or a fake. Early on in the run of the Apple Watch, it was really easy to tell these two apart. However, better fakes have been popping up in recent years, making it harder to spot...

Ok. This came in post. Genuine or not ?

I recall now. But isn't it a bit weird - lotsa QTY, poly bag, only single size strap and not 2....

And or on the -open market-, listings like these are somewhat common ?

Be careful with this guy. I bought some bands and some of them were clearly used. One of the bands was also mismatched (a 44mm pin strap with a 38mm S/M strap). I had to get eBay involved for refunds as the seller refused to send me return labels.
