Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Woot. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

Additionally, if you purchase multiple bands and your order exceeds $39, you can use the code APPLEBANDS to get an extra 15 percent off your order. This sale will end later tonight, or until they sell out, so act soon if you're interested.



Shoppers should note that this sale is focused on colors of the Braided Solo Loop and Solo Loop that Apple has stopped selling, and it doesn't include any of the new band colors. That being said, all of the bands in this sale are in new condition.

The entire sale is focused on Solo Loop and Braided Solo Loop Apple Watch bands, so you'll need to know the size that works best for you before you buy. Apple has a measurement tool on its website that you can use to determine your exact size.

i’ve got a gbpoot ripoff braided solo loop from amazon that cost $10, it feels identical to the real deal, and it’s woven the same way, but looks less premium, and doesn’t curve toward the ends. should i spend on one of these for $30?
 
I love the Solo Loop, and wore nothing else the past few years, but check them occasionally for wear (splits) especially if you wear the same band every day. I just tossed my Olive that was my daily driver (purchased from Apple) because of a tear. I guess removing it from my wrist daily for almost two years was too much. I'm on the fence now about getting a few on sale or going back to my Sport bands which will probably outlive our species.

This sale has been around since early November, I picked up three bands before all the colors sold out.
 
Also worth noting they have the 2021 Pride loop, in case anyone is interested in completing their collection.
 
I found the whole ordering process on WOOT to be a major PITA. I clicked on the Link to pay via Amazon but WOOT was still badgering me to open a WOOT account. Screm 'em!

Why? Because these are Apple bands and the quality is excellent. Nonetheless, like you I have purchased some of the Chinese knock-off brands for ridiculously cheap prices - 3 bands for a total of $13 from an outfit called DaQin - and they are holding up very well after a year's wear.

As others have noted, you can go to Amazon and get 3 (or 5 or 10) bands with varying colors for $10-$15.

These bands look great and feel great.

For branded Apple bands I would have to pay 10x the price per band. That's a tough sell. I doubt I will purchase Apple branded bands again.
 
Aggravates me how Apple pulls accessories for previous editions. I had an Abyss blue watch + Band. As soon as the next edition came out, abyss blue went away and I couldn't buy a replacement band that matched exactly. Always wondered where all of the bands went. Lo and behold...2 years later, it popped on Woot. Bought a couple.

These are used, right? I’m not sure how smart it is to get a used solo braided loop band, as they do tend to stretch out a fair amount after 8-12 months. The others should be alright though.
