They should really put those back on sale. I like these bands too. especially the one with the square buckle. Luckily, every once in a while you can find one of these for a really good price. The connection fits perfectly with the stainless steel watch , that would really be a reason to get one.
Sadly the Classic Buckle is likely forever discontinued for contractural reasons. I mean, Apple hasn't said so... we're just speculating.

I only have two, Black and Fuchsia, which were yoinked at $15 per. I'm looking for more colors though. Hermes is too far out of my budget, unless a friend decides to leave his to me in the distant future.

I mean all Verizon LTE devices have to be unlocked by law based on their spectrum purchase, right?

Imagine you yoink some amazing steel/ceramic Watch and it’s stuck on Cricket or Comcast. Or do they not even work on MVNOs?

A fully paid Verizon Watch is unlocked, but SO many are bought with monthly device credits in place from a promotionally reduced purchase price that in my experience, you have to be aware that Verizon is NOT always a green light. If payments are going on, it's going to be locked. I have had Verizon, ATT, and Comcast cellular service, and each carrier has their unique "features." Verizon is the safest bet, and ATT is downright draconian with the devices, locking them up so they can't even be used on alternative carriers even IF they are paid off. And Comcast has been remarkably good for BYO. Verizon's $5 AW plan can't be beat if you are paying top dollar for their premium unlimited.

Bookmarked; yeah just coming for Comcast as pure snobbery haha. I prob shouldn’t crap on MVNOs as my full bars Verizon 5G always stops to buffer video on all these spots along a common route and the 5GUW at my house is basically broken and never breaks 100
 
do any of you ever double up on bands? I have 2 spicy orange sport bands
I have to admit I have quite a few bands double or even triple times. Mostly due to yoink prices I simply couldn’t resist. Amongst those also some very sought after ones like Ultra Violet, original Yellow, original Green, Dragon Fruit and Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue.
 
The different colors give you so many Possibilities to combine cases and bands depending on the occasion and mood 😍 I just didn't want to say anymore, hey, the bracelet has a great color but doesn't match my case.
I have to disagree with you on that partially. Especially where it concerns the red/blue/green aluminium watch cases. In my experience these Apple Watches look great on their own and with the bands they are delivered with standard. But when trying to match them with multiple bands they hardly match as good as do the more neutral watch cases Stainless Steel, Titanium and the Silver/Space Gray aluminium cases (I purposely don’t mention Starlight and Midnight, as I still prefer the older Silver and Space Gray over Starlight and Midnight).
