I’m still waiting for my green braided solo loop, had to return the size 6, it was too big for my taste (the size 6 silicon(sp?) solo loop is ok, I guess the friction makes it stay put). So I will have to wait on placing an order for the red one
I received a Tahoe Blue sport loop in the mail today, turns out it‘s a color I don’t like, so I am gifting it - that’s why it is packaged in the photo
Do any of you know of a source for an authentic Double Buckle Cuff (any color)?
have been looking for one for ages, but haven‘t seen one that i think is authentic.

I got my woven band, but apparently it has no box. So now I need a Berry Striped Woven Band box because my ocd will not allow me to wear it until I have a way to store it when I take it off. 🤦🏼♀️ LOL
Yeah that’s pretty much my take as well. While I think the Leather Loop is better looking, the Link and the Loop are too similar to both stick around for long. Not a big deal for me since my interest in Apple’s leather band’s completely dried up after the Classic Buckle was discontinued.it’s hard to predict what they’ll do, but I would advise anyone that prefers the old Leather Loop to get one sooner than later. You don’t have to go with the new thing just cuz it’s the new thing, when Modern Buckle replaced Classic Buckle in 2018, I was like eww there’s no way I’m buying that, it’s hideous, the Classic Buckle it replaced was so much better
Either way, it was never fair or a good look that Leather Loop never came in a 38/40mm size, it’s kind of divisive actually especially reading on this forum and elsewhere for years comments along the lines of “the leather loop style looks so good why doesn’t it come in 38/40mm
I will be interested to see if @athousandbands prediction about the Modern Buckle also being discontinued comes to pass. It is the last remaining design in Apple’s lineup that even remotely resembles a traditional leather watch strap.
Maybe Apple wants to completely kill the idea that the Apple Watch is like other traditional watches?
That certainly was the vibe they put off in the September event. I had to stifle a laugh when Apple devoted time to talking about how traditional bands have a buckle and only preset sizes for fit and then went on to introduce...a line of bands where you have to order your correct numbered size to get the right fit. But it does seem like they want to make the Apple watch it’s own separate category now that it has become established and has sizable marketshare. I guess Apple feels less of a need to try and convert traditional watch enthusiasts now. And it’s not like there aren’t still traditional looking band options (Milanese Loop and Link Bracelet). But, I enjoy leather bands and miss having a 1st party leather option.
See, you could buy a nice leather band and get several notches for sizing, OR you could spend the same $100 on some recycled yarn and be locked in to one size?
What do you do when your shiny new Graphite SS finally turns up (after a 4 week wait)? Slap a really old band on it, obviously!
No Milanese Loops going anywhere near this!

Getting jealous of all these Graphite shots!
Not the first time you make „recycled yarn“ sound like it‘s a bad thing. Recycling is good!
Yeah, it’s definitely awesome Apple is recycling, but I’m not going to sell someone a recycled coke bottle for $40.
Because that‘s exactly what the braided loop is, a recycled coke bottle ... 😂
Look, the prices for all first party Watch bands are very high. Nothing different about the braided loop.
Yep. They’re not my thing, at least not for retail. Same with leather loops. Sport bands, maybe, but I have to really like the color. I rarely pay retail, but that’s just me!
That‘s exactly why price discussions are always moot, though. It comes down to personal taste and perceived worth. I bought many Sport Bands below retail on ebay as well, but if there is a new colour I like, I will also pay retail. Leather loops I have exactly zero, not worth it for me either because if I wear a leather band, I want it to be elegant (hence, Classic Buckle or *gulp* Hèrmes). Sport Loops also feel cheap to me, hence not worth retail. Milanese Loops feel like a bargain to me now, but maybe only because they used to be more expensive? The Braided Loops feel quite luxurious to me and worth their price, at least relative to Sport Bands et al. A Solo Loop is such a small, flimsy peace of silicone when you unpack it and can surely never justify the price tag ... until you put it on and it’s the most comfortable Watch band you‘ve ever worn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m also worried they will discontinue the Leather Loop and also not procude anythink like a Classic Buckle, only Solo Loops and Leather Links in order to differentiate themselves. This suspicion makes me want to get spares of my favorites of the Leather Link and colors, as well as hurry up and get the missing Hermés double buckle cuff I am still missing [hint hint]
You should
the Graphite is gorgeous! I have had Space Black watches since series 0 (tried a gold but gave it away), so I was really disappointed about there not being a SBSS S6. I’m happy with it though - it is dark enough that the screen doesn’t “pop” the uniform look is what I liked with the SBSS

It’s my first SS - so shiny and has more heft than the Aluminium. Feels far more premium...
I’ve treated myself to a Graphite iPhone 12 Pro to celebrate. Just a pity it’s not the same DLC finish.
FYI. This is what a Milanese graphite band does to the graphite watch.
I have been very careful, but the scratches are made by the band touching the watch when I make it loose in order to remove it to charge.
If you buy the Milanese you need to be EXTREMELY careful.
I don't understand why Apple would make a graphite band for a graphite watch that tears it up. That seems really dumb?
Subjective, but sport loop or solo loop or braided solo loop. Haven't tried leather link but that would probably be very comfortable.
I am partial to Nike Sport Loops and Apple Leather Loops so those are what I wear (with my Link Bracelet on occasion).
This seller will take $500...they keep relisting with the watch even though they get no bites. Retail was $689I’m still waiting for my green braided solo loop, had to return the size 6, it was too big for my taste (the size 6 silicon(sp?) solo loop is ok, I guess the friction makes it stay put).

I didn't realise the colour selection aren't identical across watch faces. But I can't find Mango for Numerals Duo?
Mango is a only part of California and Typograph. Part of a new set of punchy colors meant for faces that fill the screen. Used to be just edition colors and pale pink and white and cream and gold.
Cream graduated to real color and was replaced with the slightly different Ivory. Here’s hoping watermelon and mango and evergreen make the jump to real life too!
Clearly that Australian eBay seller made off with all the 40mm and then the 44mm size 8 just to get revenge on us/TwanjEvery since but mine: 1-2 weeks
Size 8: 6-8 weeks
thanks! I tried to make a few offers just now, but got automatic declines. Will keep an eye on it
