Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

Everyone missing packages—I have had luck in the past using the USPS where’s my package tool. It launches an inquiry that is actually sent to your local postal facilities. The link is here: https://usps.force.com/emailus/s/

Choose the “where is my package” option. I’ve had packages show back up ok tracking within 4 hours after using this form when they had been missing for days.

Thank you. I submitted this for my eBay sale. The buyer seemed annoyed when I contacted him today to apologize as a courtesy. Believe me, I don’t want it to be lost, either. That was my rose red sale. That would be an expensive loss.

Do you think that’s Gen 1? It’s 42mm and pretty bright so I think it is.

Speaking of which... I've always wondered which gen I have... Calling on all experts.

I have a Product Red Sport Band and the year on the box says 2015. I'd assume it's gen 1, but I'm kinda new to this band collecting thing.

Thanks!

Sounds like it is. What is the model number in lower right hand corner on rear of box? Start with either MLD82 or MLDJ2?

So those $4.99 bands are legit? Wow, might as well get myself a black one then. :)

Mine is 100% OEM Apple. Hard to say if this has ever been worn before, as it’s in perfect condition. Wish they had more colors or a Nike with Volt.

I just hope mine shows up, and isn't full of air. I just ordered a few as backups and yard work bands.

I know there’s a lot of hate for the Two Tone loops but they are seriously some of the best release to date. The maroon tones are awesome on the Gen 2 loop. Anyone who wears a 40mm should jump on that one @ $35.

I wish it was 44mm

I just picked up a 44mm Product Red Sport Loop (gen 2)... My wife is NOT going to be happy with me and my new-found obsession.

Maybe I will buy the last 40mm for her.

Yes I’m curious also! What did you pay? I’m thinking on just buying it directly from Apple with my friend’s employee discount which brings it down to $42. I’m fully intrigued and that would definitely cover my red gap in my collection.

Quick question to the experts. If you have to choose one.
Gen 1 Product Red Loop or Gen 2?

I just got gen 1 after hearing such good things about it...it really needs to be seen in person. The lightest red of its threads is just magnificent. Not unlike the light red outside rail of the gen 2, which is to say one step darker than glorious hibiscus. Gen 1 even kinda shares 2’s maroon deep down in there. I could never choose! I can’t wait for iPhone 12 for even better macro shots like this...

Not an expert by any means but I like the gen 1 better based on photos I’ve seen. I do like the two toned loops, but I like the original better in this case.

Oh... my bad! (I’m still learning, sorry) I must have bought gen 1? Now I’m not sure which one I have.

I see exactly what you’re saying in the similarities of the colors. Nice shots!

Ok one more question I ordered a Nectarine Sport Loop a few months ago and ended up returning it even though I loved the color. I didn’t like that it was shorter than all my other loops and just didn’t like how it stopped half way on the bottom of my wrist. It just didn’t fit me right.

I know that Gen 1 Product Red was released during the same season as Nectarine so is it the same length as Nectarine or longer? I’ve actually always wondered that. If so that would be a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

Really appreciate if you or anyone has the answer to that

Not home right now but I can confirm that nectarine, hibiscus, cape cod, and product red Gen 1 are all identical shorter lengths.

Interestingly, Cape cod is 1/8th of an inch longer than the rest. Hibiscus, Product Red Gen 1 and Nectarine are identical. Any minor variance you see in the picture is just the loop not sitting flush on the table.

(don’t mind my hue light skewing the color balance)
