FineWoven Magnetic Link for Apple Watch Now Available to Order

[Apple_Robert]

Even though I have the FV case and wallet, (stlll looking good) I would definitely not get the FV watch band.

”Net Zero” is a pipe dream and meaningless since India and China have opted out. It means paying as much or more for lower quality goods. The nylon woven bands (limited now to Hermes) are at least durable, if not as luxurious as leather. It wouldn’t surprise me if Apple switches to nylon bands and iPhone cases cases next year.

Well, I ordered the blue one. Goes well with the blue finewoven case on the 15 PM. I keep you posted how things hold up.

I’ve been hoovering up leather magnetic links from eBay before they disappear.

I just bought several the other day as well to keep as backups because I genuinely love those straps.

I dunno who thought this crap was a good idea especially for a watch band. yuck

You might be surprised that they tried to make the now titanium band on iPhone 15 of FineWoven material instead. It super light, cheap and easy to repair. However lack of courage made them choose Titanium.

Makes no sense to use this stain and scuff prone material on a watch band, which gets scuffed and stained regularly. Additionally, the leather link was one of the nicest bands Apple ever made, and the only one of the $99 bands that was actually worth the money. Luckily I have three great ones In my collection.

Edit: I also love the braided nylon loop, and think it’s truly amazing, even my personal favorite. But I also think it should have been $49. I got why the leather link was $99.

I guess they forgot Apple’s original vision. Hot junk! 🗑️

 

[Debauch]

Apple has to be trolling everyone, right? Right???

 

[NeoSe7en]

The cheek on Apple going ahead with this launch after seeing the public reaction to the cases.

 

[awshucks]

I’m not touching these bands with a 10-foot pole!

If you do touch them they will scratch!

 

[NeoSe7en]

I’m not touching these bands with a 10-foot pole!

And they’ll still get scratched and stained anyways.

 

[Royksöpp]

I can't wait to see how these bad boys look after a day or two.

 

[bluespark]

The leather loops were so great, and I looked forward to buying one with each new group of band releases. Guess those days are over. 😢

 

[Jimmy Bubbles]

I think they're working on upping their ESG score with this "carbon neutral" attempt.

 

[kkee]

Not sure. On one hand, third party Amazon bands does not lower carbon footprint, on the other hand... NVM, screw that.

 

[spinkick]

I think these throw off the compass as well. At least the silicone ones do from Ali

Stay away of this FineWoven garbage. It is another example of Apple going too far in trying to save the planet. What a bunch of BS.

 

[charlesdayton]

If that fabric has been so fragile in cases and the wallet Imagine the disaster in a watchband.

 

[onFIRE]

Let me balance out all the backlash and say I love FineWoven and will be getting one of these bands. Already got the FineWoven MagSafe wallet and love it.

 

[scrapesleon]

LOL, how can this be the same price as its leather counterpart. Seriously Apple, get off the "lower carbon footprint" train. 😆

Until it start affecting sales then they will get off it

 

[svish]

Good to know about its availability. Does not seem like a good buy due to the poor quality combined with the high price.

 

[recklesslife85]

You have to be insane to buy one of these.

 

[Zest28]

$99.

And some say that comedy is dead...

Apple made a typo, it’s actually $999.

 

[adammusic]

Whomever convinced Tim Cook that FineWoven was the way to go…should have their Etch A Sketch revoked and shown the door immediately.
Finewoven will still be talked about in a year, and two years and 10 years…as one of Apple’s biggest failures…and rightfully so.

How can a CEO of Apple even get convinced that finewoven is good. Tim has to go. Hes a terrible ceo.

 

[Imperial926]

I'm waiting for FineWoven 2 Ultra.
