I noticed that Chalk Leather Link missing on the bands page.


However if you drill down to a different color you can still get it. Perhaps they are discontinuing this color early? Glad I got mine. Hopefully it is just a website update they missed and it isn't a limited color. The same is true on the Canadian site as well....


Missing chalk?
It went out of stock around the time the Prides dropped. It was OOS everywhere including Best Buy and Amazon. It’s since come back, but Baltic also made a return at that time. We’re assuming it was just very popular or production issues. I also ordered one though, fearing a re-run of the White Leather Loop.

Quick question if you dont mind me asking. Is discolouration of Nike Sport bands after few days of usage normal especially on the part of strap that gets tucked in.
Watching a band on eBay and the seller advised its a normal behaviour.
 
I don't know about "easily." It's very easy to damage (or remove) the silky coating on these things. Scrubbing and using solvents will certainly get rid of the marks, but it will likely damage the surface too.
Thats what I thought when i saw video on YouTube with peeps using different cleaning products.

Good old microfibre cloth or soft plush towel is what i use to wipe my bands. Yes it will not remove the rub marks but it will also not damage that coating.

I always use melamine dirt eraser and alcohol cleaners and never had any problems. The bands get back the original color and the nice soft surface. Even if you do it again. My Platinum/black Nike was cleanded that way three times during the last years and no visual damage caused by the cleaning procedure. On the contrary, I am always surprised by the good quality of the bands that they look like new after cleaning. And not just the color but also the silk-like surface.
 
And with all these wonderful bands, Apple offerers only 1 black extra large watch band. I suspect the best for us people is to buy not at $99 or $49 from apple, a knock off band that might work. My wrist is large not because of fat but the way I was built, it is in the bones. Stupid apple, could make a bundle if they made the watchbands in my size

Also try isopropyl alcohol.
