So I now have a 44mm Hyper Grape sport loop NIB that I am really hoping I can trade for a 40mm Hyper Grape loop. I was so excited to see it pop up as available that I did Buy It Now and then saw it was a 44mm, however I thought maybe someone here has an extra 40mm that I could trade it for! I’ve had a couple other offers but I really just want a Hyper Grape loop in my size, all the pics you guys have posted of it make me so jealous!
Crossing fingers someone has a 40mm they’d be willing to trade! I’d love if it were NIB as well, but if not then lightly used is ok! 🤞

There have been a few that have popped up Recently on Mercari in your size. Probably Not what you want to hear, but you may be better served reselling this while its sealed and then putting the profits towards the 40mm (Which sells for way less than 44). You’ll probably walk away with some extra money in your pocket too!

I'm also searching for Rose Red 42mm.

Sunflower Leather (L). Flat Silver/Volt and maybe Black/Cool Gray & Pure Platinum/White.

I have a rose red in 38mm for sale.

Off current chit chat topic but does anybody actually own one of these? I got one for $11 so, if I hate it, it won’t be too bad. I just feel maybe everyone disliked it, they’re not really around. “Electric Pink” is the name.

Never owned it and its on my to pickup list down the road, but I think it was just really overshadowed by the better pinks over the years. A lot of the old pattern loops fall into that category sadly.

I’ve had one of those on my iPad since forever! Not the same design, but.

I’m really on the fence if I like that loop or not, but since it rarely pops up and was basically $10. Heck.

I like it! I mean, in got it back when it was new, and I do like that they have gotten more interesting with the loops since then. But it gets some use.

I have one, was my wife’s (she no longer uses an iPhone/watch). Not my cup of tea, but it may go on my “sleep watch” (series 4) so that I can wear the flash sport loop outside from time to time this summer.

Delft blue sport band today. However when I was out and about I stopped at The Source and saw that they had one last lilac sport loop which has been on my wish list since I’ve seen photos on here! I’ve attached a couple including one close up to try to show the detail. I really like these older bands with the multicoloured threads woven in to add a bit of complexity.


I love both flash and flash light! They are on my wish list and I keep hoping I will get lucky and find one of them on eBay.

Ah yes... The Source. Wish they shipped to the US, they have had bands that I want badly..... Oh well, see if I can find them elsewhere....

Lol I feel that way about most eBay sellers including the one from the other day selling loops at 22$!

Ultimately the majority of deals I see are within the US, though to be fair, none of my searches really cover international posts as theres no real need to.

Actually, I got my link bracelet from Canada now that I'm reminded of it. I think I bought it for $49 + 10 shipping (USD)

I, uh, may have been inspired by my new Chinese New Year to order a refurbished series 4 SS gold. I have a number of other bands with gold pins because my first couple apple watches were aluminum gold and at that time I found everything I could on eBay with gold hardware (just stone, cocoa, midnight, pink sand). I switched to silver aluminum later because of how versatile it is for my band collection, and for awhile I had series 3 in both gold and silver. This will be my first stainless steel watch! I’m curious to see how I like it. I wish series 4 had the face always on, but that single feature wasn’t worth a nearly $400 difference to get series 5.

It is my favorite!

I’m curious to hear how you like it as well. I’ve never tried on the stainless and I wondering how obvious the difference in weight is. Looking forward to your feedback when you get it!

Wow! If you could give a shout-out when you see Canadian deals I’d really appreciate it!

I know it’s out of the context , But I like how you can combine several colors for the thematic you wanna wear with the Apple Watch.
For example if you want to show that you are fan of a soccer team.
In this case with Seattle Sounders.
Have a good weekend!

Yeah . Pretty much the same colors!!

How often do you guys buy duplicates of a color for backups/resell?

I have two duplicates of pink stripe because I like it so much. And I’ve thought about getting a duplicate of dragonfruit for the same reason. The only other duplicates I have ended up with were not on purpose— like back when I got stone and cocoa, they were dirt cheap on eBay and being sold in multipacks of the same band.

I bought 4 Nike bands in 38/40 just to have them until I could find a 42/44. I have been able to find two of them so far in 42/44. Otherwise, I have never bought a duplicate on purpose.

Edit: I got a "mystery" blue that the experts here id'ed as ocean blue. I bought delft blue from our ebay friend and they are identical. So now I have two delft blues. I need to sell one.

once i caught up with the regular sport bands and as many of the nike bands as i could i started getting 1 dupe for resale of each of the newest bands i buy. so i have 31 bands to resell. i did miss out on 3 nike bands but i have the first for myself.

I always purchased aluminum. Series 2 then Series 4. When the 5 came out, they were discounting the S4 Stainless models at Best Buy for I think near 40% off. I bought one, I couldn't pass it up. If money is no object, or if you get a good deal, I prefer the Stainless. The watch feels a lot more like a traditional watch in terms of weight. The Stainless black case is beautiful. I wear the Stainless majority of the time, aluminum to work out with and usually to sleep with. Then put that on the charger and throw on the stainless. My perspective is, since I'll likely be replacing it more frequently due to the tech upgrades, I'll stick with Aluminum unless I can find a deal on a stainless model that sings to me.

Regarding durability, many seem to swear by the stainless models but I don't have a nick on my aluminum and nothing wrong with the screen either. I do use screen protection though.

Weight wise, flipping between the two each day, I barely notice much of a difference.

I love my lilac loop. It’s one of my favorites. So gorgeous. Only thing I wish is as @toxtrepla said is that it were reflective.

I'm also searching for Rose Red 42mm.

Sunflower Leather (L). Flat Silver/Volt and maybe Black/Cool Gray & Pure Platinum/White.

Speaking of lilac (and rose red), curious what you ended up trading your lilac band for in the end.

Yes! I don’t like it with dark sport bands unless you’re going all the way to Nike anthracite or black. Imho anything darker than surf blue/dragon fruit contrasts way too much. All those darker bands @Pitch put on his mafia ceramic were not doing it for me. Even that gamma is a toss-up tbh...I saw it on here on a s2 ceramic with the white back and it looked so good but I’m really coming to resent the black ceramic back on the s5 even though I totally get how much money it saves Mr. 

To each their own, I guess. I personally love the contrast of the darker bands with the ceramic. Brings out the pop in both the band and the watch. The beauty of the Apple Watch is there are so many choices and combinations we can each have something to suit our style, even if someone else finds it dowdy or garish.

 

[Fhotofaerie]

What size do you wear?

44mm s/m.

 

[CodeRaven]

If I like a color and am afraid of wearing it out, I'll buy a duplicate (or two - in case of my workout bands). Resell - I honestly never looked at doing that, but that is me, to each their own.
