Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

[Pitch]

Sigh going back completely on what I said a few minutes ago about waiting to buy this band, I ordered it and I hold you and this photo entirely responsible! 😉

Hey, if you need to feel better about it, tell yourself that at least the profits for the Pride bands go to causes supporting LGBTQIA at risk people and, also, that’s it’s a fabulous band!

Cool... but how much did it set you back? Looks exactly like first gen Black, but with a Hermès pin. I just don’t see a point in spending more than maybe $20 on Hermès black, as it’s just black, like the $5-10 eBay first gens. At least orange is a special color. But black?


Maybe second gen, but at least in photos, looks indistinguishable from first gen.

“The point” is that once you have them all - and this many - you aren’t going to be happy without ONE.

Just received...

Awesome. Speaking of the similarities, do you happen to have a comparison of other blacks? I have Gen 1 and Gen 2 and would love to see the comparisons with the Hermès.

I saw the orange Hermès sport band going for something like 230$ CAD on eBay. I'd love to own it, but can't bring myself to pay that price when I already have bands I barely put on.

I guess, but I wouldn’t really count the Hermès bands, or really any of the bundle only bands. I would classify “all sport bands” as all bands sold for retail.

Exactly. I wouldn’t count them as anything more than overpriced gen 1 blacks.

So remember some many pages back we were discussing prototype Apple Watch Leather Loops?

Look at this eBay auction screenshot I took. These are identical. Labeled as third party though. But I have NEVER seen these for sale from any vendor. These have the same oversized bubble patterns minus the stamps. I am wondering if the stamps we saw previously were fraudulent or not?

Blue on the watch. Brown and Black to the side.

nope, those are third party. Not as bubbly as the prototypes. I’ve seen them on AliExpress.

Good to have the validation. I’ve never seen them floating around but then again, I haven’t dug too hard for third party offerings. Thanks!

Here it is across other Blacks and Gray.

Right?

 

[mikedis]

Right?

You already have both tho 😡

That does in fact appear to look darker. Does it to your eyes as well? Lighting is always such a pain with the dark colors.

I have no yellows and it’s one of my favorite colors 😢 I keep missing them. I do have papaya and stone though.

Is there a place that sells Apple Watch bands from previous years (Other than eBay)?

The two traditional sources are the ChargerStore account on eBay (not just eBay in general, but that one seller in particular), and the subreddit /r/AppleBandMarket.

 

[mikedis]

Just realized Apple has released bands simply named "Red" "Orange" "Yellow" "Green" and "Blue," but no "Purple" color. Yet there's a WatchOS color "Purple"

Why, Apple?

The other day I realized there was a “red”, not just product red. I don’t know if I was just tired and it wasn’t making sense to me, or if I really didn’t realize that previously.

Yeah, it's darker than first and second gen product red. I think @emiaj has it mislabeled on the chart, but it doesn't have a product red badge.

I had an order from 3 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago, and last week all show up today at the same time. Kind of unpredictable! But it felt like Christmas. No complaints.

Guess I should order from him more. Never expected shipping to be this quick.

My experience with him has been that he ships fast and the bands arrive very quickly in Canada. Then they get stuck for weeks in Canadian customs.

If only he had a celestial teal band. That's one of my favorites, and it sucks I can't get one.

My Chargerstore order for my UV, I placed on the 14th arrived at my local post office this afternoon. So I will have it on Tues. My last order from them took 3 weeks.
