The bands are shipping from China but the seller is located in Australia? The only feedback is from one buyer for the same item? And Product Red isn’t even available from Apple yet. No way are those real.

I haven’t seen the listing and I’m just as skeptical as everyone else (I just don’t really care so haven’t looked), but that’s the least sketchy thing. The only way they are real is if they somehow leaked from manufacturing and lots of people in China will have relatives in other countries they can use to help hide the identity of the person liberating the bands.
 
The spruce aura is an odd one. Not sure if I like it.

Can we see it on a watch?

I tried it on in the store...seems like it would go better with a non-dark watch.

here it is on my beat up series 0 - reminds me of an old 3rd party Glow in the dark nike sport band I had in 2015. Sans glow in the dark capabilities..

There are the Word „for“ Apple Watch.
I Could take my Hairs and Name them:
Genuine Solo Loop for Apple Watch.
 
Chargestore has the Medium Sunset Leather Loop for sale right now, I know a lot of people were looking for it a while ago... :)

Our nationwide APR also has it still in stock

Well at the risk of sounding like a flake I returned the gold stainless steel today and got the silver instead. The gold looked so great with some of my bands but it didn’t bring out the best in some and I spent too much on my bands to want to bench any of them - I’m not good at yoinking. I was also able to get a pride band that clicked in after I got paired with a patient Apple staff member who let me try the band bundled with the watch which didn’t click in. So he got another and that one worked. So finally I have a pride band!
I went from a SSSB Series 4 to a SS Silver Series 6, only because there a space black this time and i didnt want to go to Hermes. But im so glad i made the switch, i love the silver so much more than the space black and i didnt think that was possible 😍

I looked at your link and there’s no sunset available?

You first have to select the right sizes and color in the boxes (Middel / 42/44mm / Donker citroen) at the right. Then you’ll see that it‘s ready for delivery (Levertijd: Dinsdag thuisbezorgd). They have 2 in stock I managed to find out.

Was just going through my band box, and I’m kind of disappointed that I haven’t worn my product red band, or my Nike pride band but one time each. I’ve now placed them in the go pile. Anyone else have bands they don’t wear much?

That would be "Meyer Lemon" (yellow) not Sunset (orange)

I tend to change my bands every day and I don’t have as many as some of us on here so I generally get good wearing out of mine. Also, whenever I get a new band I’m excited and usually put it on right away. The more bands in a collection though the more it makes sense that some will be worn more than others.

I switch bands every day or two, but I can’t recall wearing these more than once. My favorite right now is the lavender gray.

I'd say the woven nylon ones are the ones I wear less, even though they're so pretty!

Right now I tend to wear my new(er) bands... I love the sport loops, so comfy. They're perfect stay-at-home / work from home bands !
 
Umm I just found someone posted this on Twitter wyt? Supposedly they are genuine. They have all the sizes which I haven’t seen on any other clones 🤷‍♂️. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/133536568423


Here's what they wrote back:

The bands are made with the same genuine Apple materials, in the real factory. Please note depending on your location the band may not come with OEM packaging, but USA should have the box. We do ship to USA, we actually have a warehouse located there for faster shipping. Pictures will be available soon, I'll get back to you.

I just hope they aren’t printing the size on the lugs in a convincing way, or nailing the shimmer...
