....your band hasn't been installed correctly:

...it needs to be moved over to the left a fraction so both ends are flush!
This just made me realise the bottom part of the band is slightly loose. Even when I align it, because it’s that little bit loose, it ends up sticking out a bit on that side. Arghhhh now I will never unsee it 😂. The angle on that photo does make it look worse than it actually is though.

Wow, this is amazing! I showed this photo to my BF who is already raising an eyebrow at all my little orders. 😁

I see a couple of doubles and triples. Did you buy those to resell? Or does stage IV mean, "I'll keep'em all"? ;)


Congrats! (I guess it's a positive thing?) and what does this mean?
I did buy those extras to resell. :)
 
Finally was able to find this gem for a great price! One regret purchased finds redemption haha

Obsidian/Black on graphite


....I still have my Nike band on my S4 watch. Bought both when the S4 first came out and have been wearing this band almost everyday (even whilst exercising and running) and its still going strong with zero wear and tear:

Question: Has anybody bought a Sport Band in black since Apple Watch Series 6 launched? I would like to know if the Graphite Stainless Steel Pin is the new black, or something available only with the Graphite Stainless Steel watch. Thanks!

There's no MPN on the package of the band, and only one on the origami box. The MPN for Black Sport Band didn't changed on Apples website.

They probably just switched out the SBSS pins on Anthracite and Black for Graphite, since they’re trying to phase out SBSS. Do you have any pictures of the graphite pin?

Maybe, but the MPN didn't changed, so maybe the band is only available when you buy the Graphite watch with a Sport Band in a standard configuration.

Not yet.

I think Apple quit doing the whole “Get a special pin when you bundle this specific order” thing. Maybe it’s just the new pin Apple is slowly phasing out.
They still do it on the edition watches so it’s not unheard of. And IMHO a new pin would mean a new MPN.

One band. Two bands. Blue bands. Fresh loooks.
The Apple Watch Blue Aluminum Case goes really well —and tone-in-tone— with a variety of yesterday's bands.

Made an order for the blue (again) and then cancelled it. Can't justify a sixth watch in a year when I have zero income due to the pandemic. Yet I really want a blue...... Hopefully they will discount it enough eventually so I can pull the trigger (eventually).
 
The new Black Blue/Mango is really, really dark! I love it. Also loving my very first Nike AW. It's gonna be hard to give up those Nike watch faces when I'll upgrade to a SS model!

This is one my favs all time now. Insane contrast

I went to return my Solo Loop, and asked if they had any braided loops and got sent home with the Blue and of course more bands. lol - Aura Green Nike and Product Red sport loop.

Why do I do this?

I don't currently have a watch to try them on (Waiting for delivery) but holy smokes that red band is R-E-D

Product images on the website still show a SBSS pin... maybe what you have is a secret bundle band!!

That looks really good. I think the blue, and to a lesser extent the red, look great with a handful of bands, but some of the combos I’ve seen posted make my eyes bleed.

Just received this in the mail today for $13. Been looking for this one for awhile. The only thing I see wrong is a tiny black spec on the loop. Looks new other than that.

I’m doing happy dance💃

Ooh, technically I got that one for free! I bought a Noir Rallye and orange Hermes SB plus all the packaging from an S3 Hermes Watch from a local seller who also had one of those listed that didn’t sell, and she included it for free.
