That’s the one band I can’t find new sealed in a box that doesn’t cost around $100.

I bought a used one but it a strong perfume smell I can’t wear it. :(
Maybe Best Buy will find some more in stock. I picked it up recently in one of their sales for 29.00. Have you tried soaking it for few minutes in some kind of cleaning solution?

I have left it outside continuously for 2 weeks in the fresh air and it still smells. The cardboard tray in the box smells worse than the band. Maybe by spring I can wear.
 
Thank you for your kind (and German) words! 🤗.

Out of curiosity. Did you own the plum matching sweater before? I hope I am not the only one who sometimes buy tees or shirts to match new band colors. 🤭
Gern geschehen 😁

Uh, nope, I've had that plum sweater for a while now. I also own a few other plum colored sweaters and tee. But now that my band collection has grown exponentially, I could very well imagine buying a shirt or tee to match a given band. 😇

Hi there. Happy holidays

I’m looking for this band: The Stone Sport Band with gold pin, that used to come with the Gold Stainless Steel Apple Watch Series 4 back then.
I attach a pic.

I’ve been looking it on eBay, but they have one called Rose Gold, which Im not sure it is the same.
I also saw in the Bandbreite app that this Stone band came with 3 different color pins, so I’m not sure which one is the one I need (that matches the series 4 gold watch).
If you guys have pics of it , or comparison on the Stone with different pin colors I would appreciate it.
Happy holidays.

Thanks for the advice! Trying to stick with just one. I feel like collecting blues is a slippery slope. Going to track down an Ocean and a Horizon (and also found a Cobalt this morning) and see which I like best. For the life of me, I don’t see what all the fuss over Surf is about. But, I do prefer more subdued colors so that’s probably why. Appreciate your thoughts!
There is an Ocean Blue and a Blue Cobalt on Mercari right now: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m77376059297/

(Just beware that the seller is a pain in the *@*...)

You should message Chargerstore on eBay. I have every gold pin band except Stone Gen 1. To my eyes the s4 Stone/Gold pin is a darker bronze gold to match that watch but @rosegoldoli contends the Rose pins are all the same—I think.

First band of the new year is my first-ever band. The Milanese that came with my S0 watch.

You see, I really wanted the Bright Blue Leather Loop, but that wasn’t shipping day one, so I bought the watch with the Milanese and wore it exclusively until the Bright Blue arrived.

And then again exclusively for a long time after I destroyed the poor Bright Blue after wearing it every day for a year or more. In fact, it was my only band until I bought a G2 Product Red at the Apple Store in Honolulu. That turned me on to sport bands, and I guess, started the madness.

Milanese aren’t a favourite anymore, but this old chunk of stainless steel still holds a special place as the first Apple Watch band I put on.

Ooooh yeah I’ve dealt with that seller before. Always have to watch your back with him! 🤣

Picked up a Cobalt yesterday- should be here early next week. Watching an auction for a like new Ocean from Chargie right now. May go for that listing if the auction doesn’t work out. The price is certainly right!
 
When will be the next round for new Bands? Hoping for a yellow braided Solo Loop.

Spring time, past four years its been mid-late March.

As for me, I agree with Yellow Braided Loop, but also on my wish list:

-Cornflower or Electric Blue shade Leather Link

-Another blue Braided Loop? I do like the existing Atlantic Blue, but Blue is just my favourite, lets see if they release a nicer shade in March

- Pollen clone Sport Band? Canary Yellow got its clone in Ginger I guess for those who missed out on Canary, but Pollen was so unique and nice I really want to see it come back (in another name)

- As for the Sport Loop, this band type has really grown on me a lot lately, can't say specifically as these use specific patterns rather than colours, we'll have to wait and see!

I’ve been tinkering with trying to crack the puzzle of all the colors they will permute to make the sport loops and based on the color wheel moves of the current sport loops and the colors that they have left to do as the “middle” of sport loops:

-Lilac-ish light aubergine
-Your pollen/mustard
-A burnt orange
-Raspberry pinker and richer than Red Rasp but lighter than the ModBuck
-Scallion green (wishcast; more likely a pastel)

logic says they won’t skip blue, so maybe another entry in the Royal/primary family

I WANT that scallion loop! We need another bright green band :)
Since Jony left...Pine Green-Beryl-Khaki-Cactus-Seafoam (blue-ish, I know), Cyprus, might as well throw Inverness in there.

Even if you don’t believe the Jony aspect, Apple does love their little concatenation of close colors all in a row. Even if scallion is light, think a more yellow beryl or light spearmint...it has to be coming before fall! What else is left in the drab range!?
