As long as you have a great excuse for a purchase then it’s ok right?!!! Hubby and I canceled our Hawaii cruise 🚢 yesterday and a band cost so much less he won’t mind!

what are those percentage complications in the upper and lower left corners?
Upper corner is an app called Battery Grapher that tracks your Apple Watch’s battery and usage over time to estimate predicted battery time remaining. Lower left corner is an app called HidrateSpark which works with HidrateSpark smart bottles which measure how much water you drink and use your health info (weight, height, sex, activity level) and weather data to estimate how much water you should drink.

Whops, didn’t realize I linked the Italian version of eBay 🤣
At least on iOS it redirects for me. Also I’m glad I got my lilac when you first posted because he really raised the prices!
 
Welp, i got lucky on eBay again! Been looking for this band since the release of titanium editions and someone had posted a link bracelet and the edition light gray as a bundle and i got him to make a listing for each! He had no idea what the band was worth and thought it was just a gray band! :)

I wish that was how it works!

Sorry to hear about your cruise. We were going to go on one as well, but it was actually the cruise company who cancelled it 😅
That’s how it works in my house! I constantly tell hubby to buy something! That way I can buy!!! Now he’s afraid to tell me he wants anything!!! It was so hard to cancel that dream cruise...suite on the top deck on the Pride of America 😢...sorry yours got canceled also.
 
I dont know what its worth since the only ones I see listed are $125+ but i paid $65 after tax and shipping. Pretty sure I could have offered him $40 and he would have said ok but I really wanted this band and he deserved a bit more.
Are these bands really worth $50+? I knew some people try to sell them for $100+ but I didn’t know those actually sold. I bought mine for $17 or so.

Eh, ours was just going to be a balcony on the Emerald Princess. Nothing as crazy as a suite on the all American Pride!

I have been looking for it since the release and its been tough. Similar to the soft white with ceramic pin but i feel like that one has been our several times.. there is no set value, but its one of those bands that will become extremely rare if this is the only release for it.

Take for example, the gray and black sport band that came out a while ago.. very rare besides chargerstore

This and Dark Grey are the worst exclusive bands ever released and they never sell for the asking price. You paid $17, and I’ve seen multiple actions go for $30 or less (back when I didn’t care enough to buy it).

It’s one of those “be patient for it and you’ll get it for a fair price” bands. It’s not like Cloud or any ceramic pin where it’s truly valuable.

The fact that the greys are identical to all other greys doesn’t help it.

Ok here’s total orange. My opinion here is that bright Halloween blast-style orange just isn’t it.

I hate how much I love this. But I’m a biased Orange head.

Flash sport band. Love how bright it is



That is amazing and I thought I got a great deal on mine! Looks like all the hassle paid off for you! Weird that Apple was that way, though. I called to see if I could add AppleCare+, they asked for the serial number and then they said they couldn’t add it because it was activated on September 25. I also don’t have the original receipt and they never asked for one.
All these shots of the Ceramic are really turning my head... I was considering an upgrade to a SBSS with AW6, but that white just looks soooo good. Will take some mental gymnastics to justify the cost to myself though, but in the context of what we all spend on bands, maybe it's not that bad...?

There we go - I'm laying the foundations of an argument...

Let me ask you a question, how much do you spend on coffee in a day? A week? 😈
 
Some more bands on ceramic shots to tempt @MostlyARMless 🤣

azure sport band; @Martinpa hope you approve of the color matching today!

Pollen woven nylon as requested by @mikedop Have to say, wish the lugs on this were brighter like the yellow in the band itself.

Space orange/Anthracite woven nylon. Love this one, though.
Awesome awesome!

What does your woven collection look like now? Seems like you've bought more in the past few days than I have the entire year. Don't at all blame you though, I love the nylons.

If it makes you feel any better, I decided to go with a Ceramic on the next upgrade (S6 or S7 depending on feature sets). Everyone here will just reaffirm what you already know to be true...
 
Man, it’s been a long time since I’ve had coffee. As much hate as a I just gave jwl, I have to agree that the majority of my beverages end up being water. Occasionally a soda or tea, but mostly water.

Iced coffee is better than hot coffee don’t @ me

I understand, some peeps need to stay away from caffeine. I hope that never happens to me, but that is me. A nice hot mug of a good Columbian grind...... My mom would give me sips of her iced coffee when I was little, I think I would find it too sweet for me nowadays.

to stay on topic, I know there’s a cocoa band, I guess I need Apple to release a coffee colored band.
