Here Are All of The New Fall 2017 Apple Watch Bands That Launched Today

[rdr7]

That has to be your internet connection because I watched on my Apple TV and it was flawless.

I also watched it flawlessly on my iPad Pro! Zero glitches.

This image suggests that it’s a one piece strap that folds back on itself and uses “Velcro” strips to remain in place.

So does the hook part of the Velcro just attach to the band itself, or are there strips of the loop aspect of Velcro on the band? I can’t tell from the pics. If the hook attaches to the band itself, wouldn’t the band eventually start breaking apart (like when something Velcro attaches to something else in a washing machine and disrupts the threads). I’m sure Apple has thought of this, but I’m still curious how these bands work.

Oh it connects with magic!

Saw a hands on video and it looks like velcro and can be attached anywhere.

It’s hard to tell - this image shows the strips of hooks, but it’s not clear if there are corresponding strips of loops.

Thanks for that image. From what I can see zoomed in, however, it doesn’t look like there are corresponding strips.

I need to just pluck down the fifty bucks and satisfy my curiosity!

Awesome! Thanks for that link. Fortunately, the chick in the video put the watch on backwards, so it was pretty easy to see that there are no strips on the opposing side. Again, makes me wonder how well these bands will hold up to daily on and off. Next question is how resistant they are to water/sweat and how quickly they dry.

That’s iMore for you. MacRumors staffers would never put a Watch on backwards

Found another image via Reddit. Only one set of strips.

Here’s a more detailed review of the sport loop. Interesting to note that the band seems to be slightly elasticated.

Thanks again, Testcard. I think my questions on how the hook and loop works have been answered, but still wondering how it does with sweat--though the guy in this video says it's not an issue. Did you purchase one yet?

Yes, ordered a Black for delivery early next week in UK.

The Nike sport loop band color especially the platinum one is awesome and the sport loop is indeed the best sport band. Kudos to Apple for the invention.

The non Nike black sport loop is not pure black. Hopefully, that does not bother you.
