Discounts / Sales on OEM bands

KRCS which is an authorised apple reseller, often sells nike and some older bands like cornflower for £39 on Amazon UK, and sometimes they even go down to £29, 100% genuine. Got a couple of nike sport loops for £29 and really happy with them, these are very hard to find using search on Amazon though so direct link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?i=mercha...eID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&qid=1601809277&ref=sr_pg_2

Very interested in this after stupidly not getting 44mm Coastal before it discontinued, but the link goes to missing items.

Looks like they can’t ship to the USA. Any easy way around the restriction that anyone knows of?

Hermes Feu Epsom Single Tour 44mm $78
(a little bit busted along the side but a great, low-risk way to give this scrumptious line a spin; the epsom material on top is pretty indestuctible)

sorry about that, not sure what happened, this is a direct link to one of the products which will hopefully work and then you can search for others using sellers page:

www.amazon.co.uk

Apple Watch Sport Band (44mm) - Cornflower - S/M & M/L

Made from a custom high-performance fluoroelastomer, the Sport Band is durable and strong, yet surprisingly soft. The smooth, dense material drapes elegantly across your wrist and feels comfortable next to your skin. An innovative pin-and-tuck closure ensures a clean fit.
www.amazon.co.uk

They seem to have added more options overnight, sadly, all £39.99 but still almost a £10 discount.

Thanks - that is still taking me to third party bands though. Maybe because I’m searching from NZ it gives different results. I’ll do some manual searching.

When you say third party bands what do you mean? The seller isn’t amazon directly but rather KRCS which is authorised apple reseller, definitely genuine though

Authentic Apple Watch Band! Super soft nylon, velcro loop, apple watch band. 42mm, series 5/4/3/2/1. I will be sanitizing all items prior to shipping. I will ship same day if purchased before 3 pm, and the following day if purchased after 3 pm. All items are brand new/unused!

Fake, right? The velcro strips look too big and the gap between the fabric and buckle (where it says 42mm) is too big.

And it looks like she just relisted it at a higher price: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m94924094656/

This looks exactly like the fake pink loop I bought last week. These have the size stamped on them, and you can see that the hole where the band goes into the lug is wider than the strap. The middle pin is also silver on one side instead of black/gray.
