But why?? Apple are weird.If you would have had the HomePod replaced by mail you would have gotten the plain white box. In store you are correct that you can’t have the plain boxes.
The plain white boxes are paper-based on the outside with the exception that the middle structure is made up of recycled leaks. If you tear open a plain white box, you'll learn all there is to know on the iPhone 12, 13 and 14.But why?? Apple are weird.
I once bought a second hand HomePod - without a box but still in warranty. After a month it failed, so went to the Genius Bar. After a quick test, they whipped out a replacement in a cellophane wrapped plain white box. They opened the box and handed me the HomePod. When I asked to have the box, I was told it was strict policy not to let customers have the plain boxes - very odd! Clearly not the same policy for watch bands...
Yeah, this one shows promise for becoming the next Celestial Teal in terms of aftermarket prices. I really should grab another just to be safe!My midnight turquoise arrived today. It's so unique. I guess it will become the most-wanted band when being discontinued in this September![]()

Very nice! It’s hard to find them, much less a sealed 44mm. The Nike bands are by far my favorite, so no matter what, I’m picking up ALL of the fall Nike bands.Actually I purchased twoto be safe as you said.
Yes last year I wanted Celestial Teal like crazy. It was discontinued at that time and could be found nowhere. I gave up hunting it. One day, I went to French store and I was surprised because Celestial Teal was on stock along with Hyper Grape sport loop. I ended up with 2 hyper grape loops and the celestial teal band. A friend of mine picked them up in Paris and took them to Vietnam later. I was so lucky and that feeling was so special bro.

I would join the order and get one for myself too!You mean it's rare there? Oh they just finalize $53.
Just as my offer on the Ceramic Series 2 expired this evening, someone listed a White Series 3, practically mint. I made the same offer and he accepted. I am unbelievably excited. My wife however will be considerably less excited when she finds out...ceraaaamic

You’d probably have to wait until COVID restrictions are over.I'm in Vietnam honestly I don't know how to send things to the US :-|
Congratulations! I don’t know how to feel about the S3 ceramic. The red dot is so distracting!Just as my offer on the Ceramic Series 2 expired this evening, someone listed a White Series 3, practically mint. I made the same offer and he accepted.

I know there was a bit of fuss about the red dots on the cellular S3s, but it never bothered me - although I’ve never had one on the wrist. It’s probably worth putting up with to squeeze one, maybe two more OS releases out of it. Given the S3 is still being sold, WatchOS 8 should be a given, surely?Congratulations!

Yeah, I might look at that.Black overlay is a good fix
I went with Fog. For $5, it’s a good beater.
One of my favorites! 🤩My midnight turquoise arrived today. It's so unique. I guess it will become the most-wanted band when being discontinued in this September![]()

Sunshine is an awesome band. Don't hesitate.
I got a sheet of ‘watch dots’ for my series 3 and it was such a good fix to avoid watch-band colour clashes!I know there was a bit of fuss about the red dots on the cellular S3s, but it never bothered me - although I’ve never had one on the wrist.

Yeah, I might look at that.
I remember hearing about those, but a quick trawl of Amazon appears to indicate that no one bothers making them any more, for obvious reasons!I got a sheet of ‘watch dots’ for my series 3 and it was such a good fix to avoid watch-band colour clashes!
I remember there being a whole website dedicated to those little stickers. Don’t think they’re still making them, though.I remember hearing about those, but a quick trawl of Amazon appears to indicate that no one bothers making them any more, for obvious reasons!
As well as plain black, there are lots of tantalising but unavailable listings offering sheets of crown and home button stickers to match all band colours - perfect if you only wear one or two bands, but useless for the likes of us...
Had to chuckle at the one below - red dots to make your GPS only S1, S2 or S3 look like an S3 cellular! Bit like putting 'M' badges on your basic BMW!
