Same but they marked them down to $13 a pop for one including 41mm abyss blue/moss green sport loop
Hey everyone! I’m bringing back the chat with a deal alert! 🚨
If you’re an Apple Watch Ultra user, this is just for you. I popped into Marshalls (located in SB county in SoCal, if you’re curious) and they had some cool blue/black trail loops for $15. They were only available in small and medium sizes, and they had natural titanium lugs.
It feels like ages since I last saw a strap from Apple in these stores, but guess what? As the Apple Watch Ultra 3s and series 11 are out, OEM bands are making a comeback at TJX and Marshalls.

Woot has the 2025 Pride sport band on sale for $9.99 (40mm and 42mm, S/M only).
The new 42mm is the same size than 42 - 44 mm from old series??? So can be use on 45-46 mm??
Hey Apple Watch fans with 46mm (and my large 49mm ultra and 45/44mm) models! Just a heads-up that last year Series 10-era straps from Fall/2024 for the Lake Green Sport Band medium/large and Ultramarine Sport Loop are now $15 at Tj maxx!
Just so you know, this is for the 46mm size only! I haven’t spotted the smaller 42mm version at my SoCal SB county location, so your experience might differ.

This is the exact band I wanted. The black one is too black, but the current bright blue is too blue.
It’s quite a balanced colour though sort of a contrast of grey with black in the middle.
It goes well with natural titanium ultra.
ANOTHER DEAL ALERT 🚨
I checked another TJX. Found a gen2 plum sport band in 40mm. They also had the ultramarine sport loops in 46mm only and both 40mm and 46mm of the lake green.
Finally got to check off a strap I really liked on bandbreite wishlist and the gen2 plum strap moves into my collection in the app. Pics on the show off your Apple Watch thread coming soon.
All bands are $15 each.

Picked up a Lake Green 46mm M/L band at TJX for $12 on clearance. My lucky day since I finally just got a S11 46mm.Now I have both size cases. Does that just mean I NEED all bands now?
👆🏻 Great news! They’re now on clearance! My local TJX where I picked up the plum doesn’t have any more of these straps, but thanks for the heads-up! And happy holidays, and congrats on your new Apple Watch Series 11!
Yeah, the only other one I saw was plum. I saw it I a couple of days before lol it wasn't there when I went back.
Happy holidays to you also! I should be able to keep a better eye out now, since I now work a lot closer to two TJX now and a Marshalls.
Thanks for the update! And keep us posted if new Apple Watch band stock pops up. I love to hear about your deal alerts 🚨 too!
Never find an OEM watchbands for the ultra in my local TJMaxx in SoCal, always just the regular old sports bands in 38 mm

I've seen some Ultra, but it has been a long time since then. These were the first I've seen in a while. (but I'm also in Arkansas, so we are probably way behind lol)
Last time I saw trail loops were like 2-3 months ago when I posted the deal alert 🚨 on the blue/black 2023 ones.
There weren’t any ultra straps after that.
