OOO what does the packaging look like?! Pics please!



Do the inner sleeves usually have band-matching diagrams? I could be wrong, but I think they're usually just grey (if so, this is a new touch).

just bought 16 bands, 10 Olympics and 3 sport loops and 3 sport bands from the last round of releases that I missed, couldn't get sunflower though....

any idea when i can turn around and buy the other Olympic bands since i could only get 10?
 
Well. I went to the Apple Store today to get a gift for a friend. Could have done it online, but the shipping times have all been delayed and surely I would miss her birthday.

Well, the point is, the sales rep told me there will be new colors coming out for the sport bands, and not to worry. I thought after this Olympics release, there won't be new colors for the silicon bands this time, but I was told to be patient.

Yay~❤️❤️❤️

Now my dilemma is should I get the Cantaloupe case for my 12 ProMax? The Cantaloupe color looked even better in store....

I wouldn’t let this hold water. I doubt they have insider information at that level in the store. They’re operating with the same info we are, which is Apple released cases and colors in watchOS that do not yet have a corresponding band. So there is a chance, but idk yet.

I doubt the sales rep there would know of such information. They were probably just assuming we might get new bands soon since Apple usually releases new bands during summer.

It seems like they go beyond just your Apple ID block your address at some point. Maybe they’re also cracking down on billing addresses that don’t match shipping?

So you’re best off just having a friend use their account and house, if that’s accessible.

I faced the same problem, actually. After ordering the first 10 I was able to put another 10 in the shopping basket. However in the final stage (conforming the order and payment) I got a notification that they could not process the order because I already reached the maximum number of items.
So I did the second and third order as a guest, both with different email adresses and payment methods. That’s how it worked for me.

So... there is about 140 bands of each kind in existence... in China? Worldwide? This information about 6132 bands is not fully clear...
