How are the Woven Nylon bands? I don't think I've ever even felt on before? Are they soft and flexible? They look kinda stiff, but being Apple, I'm sure they are comfortable.
They are stiff, but I still find them cool and comfortable because I don't wear it super tight on my wrist. It kind of makes them the coolest of the bands to me because since they do sort of maintain an oval shape when they are buckled, instead of being flush against my wrist, there is some air flow.
 
Yeah, I don't normally want black/gray bands, but I love that one. I have a bunch from that "pin stripe" line.. blue stripe, pink stripe, pride.
I have all of the above. Didn’t include black in the picture, but here they are all atop the Mindful Minutes blanket. Man do they look great together.

I wouldn’t say they’re flexible but I do like how they form to your wrist and feel really light weight! Sport Loops are my go to but Wovens are definitely a nice dressier alternative for me without sacrificing much comfort.

I also like how after wearing them with enough play you can always flatten them back out to look like new again because the nylon threads hold their shape well. With a leather band for instance you wouldn’t be able to reshape it to its form like when it was new after wearing it.

They’re definitely great bands and now that they’re discontinued you can find them for great deals like the one I recently posted which is NOS (New Old Stock)

Not sure if this is the right thread to put this on, but I'm looking for some M/L pieces to some bands. Does anyone ever let them go, or do most of you prefer to keep them as a complete set? I'm looking for a M/L Surf Blue and a M/L Delft Blue.

Edit: for 42/44mm

Thanks!

So, I got my $5 Fog and $8 Pink Sand loop from BuySpry, but the $9 38mm Seashell loop I ordered for a friend is clearly not. What band is this?

flat silver/white (as long as it has the nike swoosh on the back)

It does-- it's genuine.

It's in great shape, and my friend will be totally happy with it. She's not a collector.

It’s my favorite style. Wearing the black/grey right now. Maybe it was stiff the first couple of times I wore it (can’t recall, really), but now it’s my most comfortable band.

My order from BuySpry came today. Not too bad for the price I paid. All are 100% genuine Apple bands.
The only one they messed up on was the Nike band, I ordered a 42mm Pure Platinum, but was sent a 38mm Anthracite/Black. I guess if my wife or daughter doesn't want it I will send that one back.

Pretty boring, but my black is old, and I didn't have a white one, so for 5 bucks I can't complain.

Nice! Is that second from left “fog”?
 
Curious if their dark gray is actually dark gray. If so that’s a superb deal!


It looks really nice... the white and fog kind of washed each other out in the picture. But yeah, with the multiple item discount the $4.99 bands were only like $4.33 or something like that. They all feel and look new.

At that price I will probably pick up a few more for my kids to have some backups to change between.

quick q for you guys, I received my Midnight blue striped nylon band from our fav eBay seller, sealed and all. But I really do not like this band when put on the wrist. Do you guys think its possible he’ll take a return based on dissatisfaction with the band?

Well I just called 1 to 3 shop. They are nice enough to accept the return as long as it Hasn’t been worn and just opened (told them I wore it for literally 10 seconds and didn’t like it). So I may just send it back and hope for a refund.

Guess the third time is the charge. Got in my midnight blue leather loop and it is indeed a medium!

Personally, I’d feel a little weird returning a sealed band that’s now open, but if you want to push it he may let you, but certainly is not required to. You could also probably sit on it until his stock is gone and then sell it for more than you bought it for.
