Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

@toxtrepla is famous!! Guys, we have a celebrity among us!

Mine says the warranty has expired--but that doesn't make sense because these come with 2 year warranties and this model was released less than a year ago. I think it's because I haven't submitted a purchase date on that web page.

Weird. I didn’t have to input anything. You may want to give AppleCare+ a call and ask to speak with an admin analyst.

This deserves a thread of it's own! It does look great!

Was your watch purchased from a 3rd party seller?

Used from a local seller.

Just wanted to share some pics of some of my bands on a newly acquired titanium watch (from one of our own well known forum members here!). I am now a big fan of the titanium!

I feel titanium works with pretty much all bands, including the Hermès brown band, sapphire blue band, and even the Stainless steel link bracelet due to it mostly being a brushed finish. A big Ahhhh moment came when I realized how well the stone leather loop (also recently acquired from the good gentleman from this forum) works with titanium and the edition california watch face. I will be rocking this look for a while!

Get a $14 titanium refinishing pad from Amazon and you can smooth away that nick on the bottom rail...bonus it’s a very relaxing exercise, though you do have to pay attention and lock your arm to make a straight brush.

Good tip! I did try some scotch brite pads which worked from some lighter blemishes (there weren’t many) but I will be buying the refinishing pad that’s known to work for that one nick that’s still present. Hoping that’ll do it!

I’m pleasantly impressed...there were so many stories of scratching in the titanium AW5 thread, but so far the titanium seems pretty scratch resistant other than that bottom one. Ive been wearing it for a few days. And ”polishing” it with the said pads and/or scotch brite seems like a much easier thing to do than stainless steel.

Get my Mellow Yello. A present from a nice User. Thank you.

Yes!! I love it with the classic buckle and the Hermès! Echo @athousandbands tip on the brushed titanium refinishing band. You could also probably brush the lugs on those two bands to give it a consistent finish with the watch if you care to. As I learned the other day with enough time and elbow grease you can shine a brushed finish to a mirrored one, which is to say if you give them a brushed finish you could always polish them again if you decide to sell those bands one day.

Thanks for sharing that with me!! That’s crazy to see! Awesome. Hope it brings more users into the collecting fold.

Welcome! Cool to see a nice story on it, despite the subset of haterz on the r/AppleWatch post! Speaking as a fellow band addict, I am certainly impressed!

ugh i just did a thing............. spent 272 bucks on 9 woven nylons lol😭😭😭

 

[Nancy&co]

These are today’s arrivals - probably nothing too exciting for you old-hands...

Peach, Beryl, Hibiscus, Khaki and 1st Gen Red.
View attachment 929996
Pleased to get a sealed Beryl for a third off retail, as its technically a current band. Khaki was from Amazon Warehouse and I was pretty surprised that the Red was unworn, given what I paid for it (is it weird to unbox but leave the plastic on until you wear it?)

I think my wife might fancy a Hibiscus too...

With these, I tip over the 100 mark. I implore any other newbies not to follow me down this dangerous path...

Ahhh Hibiscus, the one that got away. Can’t seem to find a 40mm Hibiscus anywhere 🙁

 

[Fhotofaerie]

So peeps, is it fake, or is it real? Has 42mm mark. Lugs are metal. Velcro I believe should be dark blue, but is pink

Does it have the “Assembled in China” writing on one of the lugs?

does it say 'assembled in china' on it, its probably real if it does, sometimes they are different sizes for some reason.

It doesn’t.

Only has the 42mm. I don’t recall a fake having such a tag. Strange.

One of the few I’m missing so I can’t compare, but its a launch model so they do run quite a bit longer.

I’ve yet to see a fake have the size marker on it. Hope it stays that way!

Possible a user replaced the lugs or something?

Here is an ebay listing. Note the Velcro strips. https://www.ebay.com/itm/143529611347

This was a $10 gamble so, not too much pain. Just very curious at this point.

 

[TotalMacMove]

There are some colors make the SS POP.. i feel like the red sport band is one of them.. as well as my blue cobalt. Wish I had the earlier darker gen red but oh welllll. What colors have you guys found makes the silver really come alive?

 

[jae110488]

It doesn’t.

Only has the 42mm. I don’t recall a fake having such a tag. Strange.

There is another way to check it’s very hard to read but there are markings on the lug when you press up on the middle part

 

[MostlyARMless]

Ahhh Hibiscus, the one that got away. Can’t seem to find a 40mm Hibiscus anywhere 🙁

Nor me - my wife took one look at it and gave me a solid ‘Want!’

Thanks to @kcmo for my new Sunshine loop! I love the color combo.

I recently got Delft too. It looks awesome outside in natural light. To me it’s kinda blah indoors.
