I’m behind the times here, but how are y’all getting prototype/unreleased bands? Are these made by Apple?
Got a tip for us?

I had a hunch they were coming from Chargerstore. I’ve always been so curious over how he gets all his bands.
All made by Apple, yes. Friend of a friend of a friend. Chargerstore sources them from his friend who (I assume) knows a guy who knows a guy who works in the factory and takes home factory seconds.
Got my first Chargie delivery today! First up was Mint with the ubiquitous “New without retail box” descriptor. I was so smitten by it that I immediately put it on and still haven’t opened the sealed Spearmint and the sealed Olive Flak / Black - which stands a good chance of being my all time favorite, based on all of the great photos you fine folks have posted here. 👍
I‘ve gotten some gems from macblowouts as well, including this sealed beauty today:
OG Yellow on SBSS is straight 🔥.
No doubt Chargie is the band maestro - especially for one-of-a-kind stuff. However, some things have been less expensive from the San Jose seller, with delivery in a few days vs weeks. That said, waiting for another multi-band shipment from Chargie! 😄
MBO is how i got some of my wovens, but Chargerstore will likely be where I get the rest. They're just not coming up anywhere in the US for cheaper.
Besides, with charger you get a few bucks knocked off the listed price by emailing him instead.
Curiously last summer the iPhone 12 silicone cases got updated with a few new colours (Sunflower, Cloud Blue, Electric Orange), but the Watch bands were not updated to match. Instead we got that international collection of Sport Loops.
I wonder this summer if either or both the iPhone 13 cases / Sport Bands get updated
But we got those ‘summer’ colors in watch bands this year. Nectarine, Blue Fog, Lemon Zest.
Which is a funny grouping to do because it makes the ‘spring’ colex three Greens and white solo.
Trio complete! 😄
(natural early afternoon light through window. From bottom: Surf, Capri, Horizon)
(under ceiling 6000k halogen shows differences better, but less warm)
Capri is the nicest blue by far.I’d skip the other two and just get that one.
To be honest they are all special and were carefully selected - and will be worn regularly depending on mood / color coordination. Gen 1 Blue is incoming and then I’ll have all I need of that color. I swear! 😄

Right?
I wouldn’t mind seeing Mineral Green show up as an iPhone 13 case for summer, kinda like how Electric Orange was initially available as an iPad Smart Cover, but then it was introduced for the iPhone 12 silicone case range
OR, give us a new leather colour, you know, what we missed out on in Spring release but kinda know that won’t happen
My wallet is fine with the one total spring leather link ever.
Are Canary Yellow SB and Lemon Zest SB similar? Does anyone have a comparison? Thank you.
332 bands... got me beat by about 60ish, been awhile since i counted mine....
Super jealous of the bands but i keep telling him that he needs to buy a ton of holders off of me. Maybe I'm biased, but I think mine look way better.
They’re similar in the shade but Canary washes out in light while Zest saturates.
