My watch band buying has a defined and repeatable pattern...

1) Find rare band, but it’s quite expensive...
2) Think about it for a few days before pulling the trigger.
3) Same band comes up much (much) cheaper a few days later.
4) Feel obligated to buy the cheaper one too, almost to punish myself for my impatience...

So, only 38 more posts and I can access the Marketplace...

LOL. I just WAY overpaid for a Celestial Teal, but I couldn't find them anywhere. Now I know that you bought them all! What size are these? Please tell me they are 40mm, so I don't get upset!
 
So I gave in and ordered cactus (surprise surprise) and it arrived today. I like it a lot. Here is a comparison with turquoise and pine green if anyone is interested (cactus on the wrist). I like its chameleon nature - is it blue? Is it green?
Nice! Where did you purchase? I've been looking for a 44mm Cactus at a good price.

Yeah, less bulky and more natural. Less intrusive visually and physically 🤷‍♀️ Bigger is boujie though.
Sounds like you got great deals on your bands though so you prob will not suffer a loss if you sell them. Then you have all the thrill of the chase again for the 40 mm bands! Which 40 mm watch are you thinking of?
 
They’re available, along with the hyper grape sport band, at The Source in Canada. Maybe some other rarer ones too, though I’m not up to date on all those!

Love that band too.

Just ordered the 40mm hyper grape sport loop, brand new. And put the purple pulse loop on my Christmas wishlist because we are in the middle of house repairs and I must show some restraint.

Nice Mercari? I think I saw a new one listed there a couple days ago

It was harder than I expected to copy yours! I don’t know still if I’ve got it quite right.

The Source, in Canada. Used to be known as Radio Shack long ago, haha. They have new stock.
Lol that is where I got mine too. And my cerulean.

Another underrated band..the Gray sport band with black stainless pin. Looking lovely on the graphite.

It looks sooo nice. I love the graphite color it’s so unique.

I have that band but I have an ocd that all the pins must be silver stainless steel as my watch 😂😂, so I never use it.

I am the same way with the pins haha. But, the black pins look real solid with the graphite. Sad that Apple has stop making bands with black stainless pins.

Well done ! 👍🏻 Took me a moment as well to get familiar with the color options. Not quite sure about the middle stripe, I picked pink, yours looks a bit orange-y, but it could be the light.
