These days, I change bands three times a day typically. Once to put on a sport loop before running when I wake up. Once to put on a sport band after running before jumping in the pool to cool off. And once at night after I shower before dinner to put on something more formal. Sometimes I’ll also change bands before biking when being anal to match my bike clothes. Once upon a time, in pre-pandemic days, I would change once before I biked and ran in the morning before work and then again after I showered and put on my work clothes, and sometimes a third time if I had a formal dinner or event at night. I guess I can say despite all the bands I have I do use them.

Lol I do this somedays when I’m not completely swamped with work, and my fiancé always makes fun of me, until the other day when I came home with a nike pride band for her. Now she finally has a band she LOVES.

On another note..
Here is the four bands I kept switching in and out of this past weekend that made her laugh at me and call me a nerd (pictures were taken at an earlier time and only used as reference)

I think blue cobalt is still my all time favorite sport band.

I really want to make a reply on here and get a ton of reactions and just edit it later to say something stupid like “egg” so anyone who stumbles upon it is just confused.

You could do that, but then people would be asking about an egg-white colored band or maybe an egg yolk colored band..... ;)

I can't justify the high prices of the Apple bands when Third Parties are just about as good and at a fraction of the cost. I would rather buy knockoffs of all the bands instead of buying just one or two Apple made bands.

However, there is a lot of room for improvement here. I wish Apple was churning out new types of bands. They had some really good ideas.
I've Just purchased a new band for a leading rivals smartwatch.. The quality is top notch, it was £3.50 delivered. If anyone thinks 10, 20, 30 plus pounds is a good price, they want their head looking at....

They are all made in China, the higher price is just higher profit for someone...

I wish that was the case in terms of quality. Just bought a knock-off yellow sport loop last month and the magnets on one end do not line up properly and thus the plastic end piece is always moving back and forth.

I think you have been unlucky, bands, straps, phone cases, chargers, cables. Never paid more than 5 bucks delivered for any of those items. Ammout of issues? Zero!!

So are doubting that I'm not happy with the quality, the price I paid? Or both. Not quite sure.
I'm wearing it right now instead of the one that came with the watch, so that tells you all you need to know about what I think of it..

Let me guess, you pay 40 bucks for an "official" clear gel case and tell yourself it's better than the ones for 2 bucks... When we all know the truth...

So I got my chops busted a while back for the Apple Watch X series band rumour chat topic within this thread, and was subsequently told to start a different thread for it. However, the ridic posting above is being permitted? At least my posting was literally focused on Apple's watch band offerings. Between Stevie trolling as well as the recent iPhone upgrade strategizing sort of chatter, this thread has been losing its lustre recently (to my eyes, at least).
 
Hi, I’m a newbie but I’ve been here reading for a long time...my name is Lucy and I’m an Apple bandaholic 🙋🏻‍♀️ !!! Have a question...is the denim color very close to cornflower? Don’t know which one I would like best 🤷🏻‍♀️...and thank y’all for all the great info I’ve picked up here ❤️
 
That last line about us being the trolls was a great finish to his performance.
Captain goes down with the ship, right?

Cornflower is very light. Denim is much darker. Both are good colors, though.

I don’t have denim but cornflower is one of the hall of fame bands.
 
Speaking of trolls, for the hell of it I put in an offer yesterday on the astronomically priced sunset leather loop on eBay and it was auto-rejected, which I didn't even know was a thing.
