Every Apple Watch band Apple released. Ever.

[the future]

To be quite honest, I‘m not really worried, either. You guys named a few good reasons already and I would add that the Watch is also not nearly „too thin“ yet as to not be able to use the current connector anymore. The real „getting thinner“ will only happen when all the tech/sensors on the internal roadmap have been integrated and I guess there is quite a lot of that in the pipeline still.

Kind of annoyed that the plum band is not shipping till mid December. I have a gift card and still undecided which color I want to get, between northern blue and Cyprus green.

Love my hyper grape I got when it was sold everywhere. One of my favorite / possibly my favorite sport loop

They re-stocked it recently? Sweet

I really like the gray!

yeah me too. Really nice with that graphite watch.

Yeah I think it might trump black/graphite pin for overall interestingness. Need to see the graphite pin in action though.

I feel like a redesign is inevitable, which sucks for us collectors...but i rather not think of it. If it does happen ill keep a copy of the last apple watch with the 2015-x band design to be able to continue using my collection

 

[Fhotofaerie]

Been awhile since I’ve popped in here. Plum, of course. This season’s color to have!

 

[athousandbands]

I’ll throw a bone to the skeptics. Got this deep navy solo loop thinking I could clean it. Not sure what kind of action (or maybe overzealous cleaning with sandpaper?) this puppy saw but it is permanently shined and for sure picks up lint like crazy, which my fresher silicon loops do not. I guess I have my workout band when I re-pair my Nike.

Remind us, you went *back* to the original gold stainless steel? Or no, this is the more champagne s6? As much as I love s4 GSS, it’s hard to strap on a loud color band, especially one that came out this fall, and not think it would be more tasteful on the muted gold.

This looks like a S6 gold, but my expertise is in bands, not watches. Never even seen either in person.

„Last, Kuo predicted that the "new Apple Watch shipment's momentum in 2021 will benefit from innovative health management functions and improved form factor design“

Sooo we got the first rumour of a new design for the S7 ... who is scared now that all our bands won‘t fit anymore?

I’m not worried. Some good reasoning around new band styles was posted above, but also there is no need to change, and Apple doesn’t obsolete things for the sake of it.

I know there was gnashing of teeth when the dock connector was replaced by Lightning, but looking back that 30-pin connector was horrible, as well as having limited capabilities.

I wasn’t around for MagSafe to MagSafe 2 (real MagSafe, not the new reboot of the name for phones), but I assume it added some value, and there was an adapter available.

Thunderbolt replacing MagSafe 2 was for functional benefit. Personally I never liked the whole magnetic power cable thing in the first place, but I accept some people might see that part as a functional loss. It standardized the power port to be a much more capable overall interface though.

The current band connector works really well and it doesn’t compromise the Watch design so far as I can see,so I don’t think they will change it unless that situation changes.

Trusty series 5. Decided on a phone upgrade instead. As much as I thought the old gold needed a revamp, I’ve grown really close to it. It really blends so well into my skin tone and style.

Jokes aside, I’ve only been in an Apple store maybe once or twice since these watches came out. The one in Vegas only had graphite and silver on display.

Trust me, I’m tired of aluminum and would love to pick up a stainless steel. I’m even starting to get tired of ceramic, even though it’s maybe the single best case material.

Go for stainless steel, you won’t regret it. I got one this year, i came from sg al s2&s5. Maybe go all out and get the Hermès?

He came by! Now you just need to speak to Santa about getting me a similar package. I’ve been looking for these two for a year at least...

So the story is, among the other pie in the sky ideas that ended up being overthinking for S0, is that the watch would be so popular that they would need to move these around the store because so many customers would be clamoring to try them out. Hence MagSafe 2 for power.

I’d love a detailed look at them. Super jealous of the leather mat too. Would appreciate if you can talk Santa into robbing another Apple store for some more for me to steal!

Today’s band - the not-so-exciting 2017 black stripe. Not a band band, really, but nowhere near as nice as its 2018 namesake.
