Some solo loops are selling for above retail now because you can't get em elsewhere.

If someone is going to buy a Braided Solo Loop for $200, they better be VERY sure they have the right size.
I would never pay that much for a new band. It's not like it's discontinued. Not sure why anyone couldn't want a few weeks until it becomes available.

People are impatient, I get it but not when you can get it in a month for half the price. It’s a band. Nobody is going to go “omg, is that the new solo mesh strap in blah blah green???” No. Lol

Btw, cypress green is dark as all get out. Might as well be black. Amazon just deliver it and it’s DARK.
 
Can anyone tell if this is Gen. 1 by looking at it? Or it’s hard to say without the box or other Gens next to it?

It looks to me like Gen 1 but it’s very hard to tell without some reference material in the shot.

42mm, Product red badge. That’s Gen 1. Gen 2 didn’t have the badge, and Gen 3 is 44mm, not 42mm.

Thank you for the explanation, the 42 vs 44mm should have been a giveaway but never knew about the badging.

I thought Gen 2 didn’t have the badge, that’s why I went with Gen 1. thanks for confirming that.

He says Gen 2 doesn’t have the badge :)

Yup, I thought that was the case and that’s what pushed me to Gen 1. He confirmed my choice was right. :)

So I caved and used my $30 from the Best Buy deal on a $42 neon lime, as I don’t have any SpLo left to get from fall20 once BB has them on sale. I am very weak haha. Has anyone else burned theirs?

@jamieinoc i bet you have some wizard methods to use the gift cards and Apple Pay at the same time? I got the same “no Apple Pay” on my iPad Safari like gift card night and didn’t feel like trying again on iPhone.

Can’t combine Apple Pay with Best Buy gift cards sadly.
 
But you used a Best Buy card to buy apple (formerly itunes?) gift cards that were on sale? then you load these on your apple account?
No I used Apple Pay to buy them (and get 2% back in my Apple Card). The offer was $10 free Best Buy GC with every $100 Apple GC purchase, so I got free Best Buy gift cards but didn’t spend them on other GC.

Couldn’t you just use Apple Pay to buy more gift card balance?
 
Sunset LL 44mm Medium from our charger

I was wondering which “rare bands” I was supposed to expect today. Good to know I didn’t miss anything too crazy.
