Ok then they’re still struggling. I’m willing to forgive them more than most I guess. It’s a massive operation they run, selling a ton of Disney and entertainment crap.

And they have the most bands this side of chargerstore and all for half his prices

OH I am dumb, lol. I didn't realize that Cosplay Party was one-stop-shop. I have ordered from them several times. Actually have 2 bands in the mail from them right as we speak.

Yeah I don’t know exactly how shady or not shady the name change stuff is, but i mean it’s ebay. So whatever errors and unhappiness result from just being a big unwieldly/careless operation will come out in the wash of the money back guarantee. Though I don’t think Cosplay has ever done anyone dirty beyond cancelling an order on a grail band they oversold.

And they seem to only have open box bands, so there’s no room for condition dissonance. Though it does seem they switched to the “pre-owned” label a little while ago. Prob had a dust-up with a Level 20 Karen or something.

I've only bought new from them and have been very satisfied.

This new anthracite I got from Cosplay on eBay as a gift was in good condition. Seemed brand new by the box. Had a pull tab (though I’ve read those can be faked) 🤷‍♂️

The only bad thing is the connection at the watch is jiggly, but my old series one band was like that too.

What do you think are the chances of Apple releasing old colors of bands? This collectors item reselling makes it tough ☹️

(Yes yes, I know. I’m soft)

I would be interested to see what year is listed on the box. Apple really struggled with series 5 and 6 sport bands clicking in properly. Some of them are really thick, too!

The cynics would say they do that every year with whatever new blue or faded green or faded yellow that look identical to some old color lol. They would never re-release a band outside Hermes or the boring neutrals, I don’t think. Accessory money is everything.

My series 6 Nike obsidian mist band was a bit thick and didn’t slide out and in easily, but it isn’t too bad.

The anthracite year I’ll look when I get home, but I think it was 2020

On anthracite: One is very easy to slide in (jiggly one), and the other is pretty perfect, with just a little bit of friction)

On Obsidian mist: one is kind of slow to slide in, and the other is just a little less difficult. Bother don’t slide in easily, but they both have a tight fit in the groove which I like.

Yeah in my experience it’s only one of the pieces. Spearmint S/M doesn’t even click in to my S7s

I only saw 45mm when I saw the Nike bands :( Maybe I'll find two 40 mm when I go - one for you and one for me.
I'm going back to that store sometime this week (Arkansas is always a few weeks...months.. behind lol)

Today I picked up from Marshalls - 40mm Capri Sport Band, and the 40 mm Red and Deep Navy Sport Loops

I thought I found deal the other day. One of the junk/wholesale stores I visit had one of the Nike Pride bands for $10 - alas wrong size.

I'm looking for any 44/45 bands from Marshalls or TJM, particularly the nike ones! Don't wait weeks though. Usually they only last a day or two in stores.

Well, I meant we are that far behind in getting new stuff delivered :) that is why I went to the others today after finding yesterday.
