I just wonder if ANY of the bands have shipped from my orders... i had about 20 ordered in different sizes and colors...

I’m sorry, the cynic in me is thinking what if they may want to mark up the band and resell them now that the true demand for some of these may be apparent to the seller.

if I don’t hear back from the seller with a reasonable explanation or even a “sorry” at least, I’m tempted to leave a negative review. I think that’s reasonable when cancelling someone’s order without an explanation.

yea I think so too 😔
this thought is exactly the first thing that crossed my mind with his continuly higher prices, did they realize what they had and now are cancelling all the bands they have not shipped....

that would be terrible, in which case I’m definitely tempted to leave a negative review to just state what happened.No hypergrape for me which is what it is, but at least other people reading their reviews will be aware that they are capable of cancelling orders without explanation.
 
yup, i got the same for a hyper grape and a pearl pink.... so disapppointing, but more importantly, now i dont know if ANY have really shipped... jesus! i‘ve ordered a bunch too...
so I entered the tracking number from the cancelled item into Usps.com and this is what it shows as last status.

Yeah, I’ve got a bunch of bands that are moving through the postal system already. Andi received one already. I think they may just not have had a good handle on their inventory and are canceling later orders after they ran out.

thAts awesome, glad to see your bands Are moving. My celestial teal which I ordered right as they were available also haven’t shipped. I’m not sure why the discrepancy, as some of the ones I ordered are not in demand really (celestial teal, black non-Nike sport loops) also haven’t showed movement for me. And the seller is shipping from the same state (CA) so I would have hoped to have those at least on the way by now.

so far no response from the seller from my message an hour or so ago. Will wait to see what they say, and if any apologies on their end, before I consider leaving a negative review)

What is the right sub dial complication?
Its for OctoPrint (for my 3D printer). Real time status updates on prints/temps/etc... A lifesaver for managing prints.

There goes $52.43 from my  Card. Thanks a lot..
I legit think this will be the hypergrape of the future. We all slept on this. Myself included.

Consider me WOKE.
 
Just checked the Informed Delivery on USPS site. My Delft band, and Celestial Teal, Indigo, Cerulean loops are In Transit and have left San Fran moving thru Burlingame now.

My Cornflower and Cape Cod blue leather bands are showing as Pre-shipment, shipping label created, USPS awaiting package..... I guess I’ll be on pins and needles on that one.....

Hah, it looked like a charging or battery app for the watch, but that is quite cool (and i imagine quite handy to have) :)

Out of curiosity, the cornflower and cape cod seem so similar—why both?

I’m kinda like @staggerlee41 - I have a thing for blue (and probably Grateful Dead / Jerry Garcia)..... my current auto is and my 2 previous autos were blue. :p

Feel free to reply with any amount of eye rolling emoticons. I’m used to it.....

I honestly thought it was calendar complication.....

They are actually way more different than some pictures represent. I initially bough cornflower thinking I would sell Cape Cod (cornflower is much better IMO). In person, Cape Cod is very Denim Like whereas Cornflower is more Powder Blue.

Cornflower Left vs Cape Cod Right

I would rather have cornflower, but I will content myself with the cape cod!
 
Mind of weird how that works. My khaki and blue cobalt shined up rather quickly while delft blue and concrete are mint
I think its related to the formulas used in the darker dyes. Anyone who owns an Obsidian or Cargo Khaki Nike Sport Band can tell you how harsh the shine is on those. Likewise with Horizon, Dark Teal, UV, etc...

Got in My Gen 2 Black to compare to My Gen 1 Black since I’ve had a few requests to see it. When I get in my Charcoal and Storm Grey, I’ll take the whole lineup For some real 50 shades of Apple Grey action.

Gen 2 Left vs Gen 1 Right. Gen 1 “almost” has a cocoa hint to it, but in reality its just a VERY rich black. Especially compared to the basically dark grey Gen 2.

You’re pretty good at making band accessories.. would you think you can mock up some covers that go on the back of the band to protect it from shine? I was thinking some clear sticker paper + a cookie-cutter type of stencil shaped like a watch band.

(edited because I’m trying not to come off insensitive, sorry!)

2 of my 3 orders from "eBay guy" are now showing at the main post office distribution center for my city, which usually means they will be transferred to my local post office sometime in the middle of the night with delivery tomorrow. My 3rd order is showing as, Your shipment was received at 6:30 pm on June 24, 2020 in SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94080. The acceptance of your package is pending. I am sort of secretly hoping that order actually gets canceled.
