Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

[MostlyARMless]

I found a Pink Punch Braided Loop at my local Apple Store in what I now laughingly call 'my size' - 7.

I had fastidiously measured myself using their tool, made allowances based on the wisdom of the internet, compared with others who wore their Sport Band on the same hole and made a sacrifice to the Band-Gods by burning the S/M portion of a Pink Sand under a full moon.

It was too big.

Also, I'm going to have to side with the Anti-Braiders... It just didn't feel like a watch strap... But then that's why I'm not too keen on the Sport Loops either...

The 'traditional' approach to gender/colour was in evidence, as the Pink Punch was the only colour available in a mid-size 44mm. The duller colours were only available for twig-like wrists or people who I can only imagine want to wear their watch around their thigh like a garter.

I desperately need to find one of these! Possibly my most wanted loop.

My problem with these isn’t so much the actual band design, I think it looks cool... it’s just the price and sizing. I would be interested to see the return rates on solo loops and braided loops compared to other bands. Also, $99 for recycled yarn? Nah.

My local store decided to bankrupt me by reducing the cost of bands by 25% from previous collections. Caught today Alaskan Blue SB for her, Beryl SB for him.

The International Collection isn’t worth more than $500 for a full set

Seeing a couple of photos of Internationals Nylons around these parts recently made me think that maaaayyyybe I should look at getting just the Great Britain one.

eBay have one 😍... for €350 😱... That might have to wait for the lottery win...

Honestly, it really didn't feel like £99 worth of band... Anecdotal evidence from the fella in store was that they are getting LOADS of returns.

I might try the new leather ones when they're available - I'm digging the 60s/70s car seat vibe.

I wish I have these kind of deals locally. No retail store sells past season bands for cheap, even people looking to offload their bundled bands try to sell them close to MSRP.

I’ve sought out many bands after seeing people post their “yoink”, and the only thing that’s bothered by that is my wallet. I would never presume to tell people what they should/shouldn’t post in a forum.

Lol I’m not a gambling man! Worst kept secret in tech is that Amazon doesn’t check their so-called certified warehouse deals.

Silly goose. You buy the $49 and the $31 and one goes back if they both aren’t perfect

Yes, it is in the packet with the spare band section. However, my booklet only contains text in French, German and Dutch. So it could be that it was not included in all regions.



The full booklet!

Once I had this watch. It was really nice, and the finish is beautiful. The only problem for me is that I didn’t like how is was matching with other bands. To my taste, it wasn’t matching good enough, but with its original sport band

This is with Hermès:

And with Nike:

I wanna have local stores like that. What’s the name of that local store? Here I can only find watch bands in Apple store, bestbuy and that’s it.
Any other suggestion where I can find good deals in store here in Seattle , Washington?

Look of the day
Walnut sport Band with Gold Watch face. They match perfectly.

This is both mind-blowing genius but also possibly how the problem begins/compounds.

Also to nitpick, the $32 Amazon are defective not open box. Not opposed to that for your anchor grays and such but neon lime needs to literally glow...
