Here is Every Apple Watch Band That Launched Today

[makingmark]

That Kilim Single Tour in Orange will be mine...

Definitely the best Hermes band of the lot. But it would be kind of a bummer to get the standard Hermes orange Sport Band bundled with that. Unfortunately none of the synthetic bands really replace their leather ones in terms of class. Too casual. Either too colorful or black, and I don't like black synthetics. Reminds me of a cheap polyester suit.

BUT...looks like you can have the S9 with a leather Hermes band! Just have to buy from them instead of Apple.

Maybe. Would you prefer leather? What is your solution for obtaining leather from low-carbon, non-barbaric sources?

The real "Barbaric Sources" are the factories that make your shiny new watches and watch bands...

As a Mexican I do wonder what the heck a „Rose Mexico“ color is supposed to be 😅 rich people and their nonsense

Son unos pinches... haha

I’m unable to order the finewoven magnetic link band on its own or with a series 9. Anyone else??

Same here.. what gives?

 

[Deadman64]

Same here.. what gives?

I am not sure. It seems like no one is talking about it. I’ve found a few people on Reddit saying the same thing. I thought MacRumors would make a post or something…

Too many orders, it's already backordered. I think. A friend of mine ordered every single band and didn't have problems.

I ordered the orange stripe one with my Ultra 2. I like how it matches really well with the warmer tones of the titanium and the orange on the action button.

What's funny is this used to be a Sport Loop color almost exactly. This is the Cream Sport Loop from a few years back.

But all colours, in both sizes, in both variants are unavailable. Seems a bit unlikely that they all sold out in the first hour

It was unavailable in all sizes and colors from the very start, I tried in the first few minutes.

The Magnetic Link and Modern Buckle are still $100 and $150, even though they’re now made out of plastic that costs 5¢??

 

[svish]

Some of them are good

Leather is obtained from cows we kill to eat. Nobody is sacrificing cows just to make watch bands out of their skin. Even for the most expensive LV bags and clothing, the leather is sourced from farms dedicated primarily to produce meat. It is technically a "waste product" from the meat industry. If we stop using genuine leather all together, it will be just a part of the animal we would not use anymore (creating more waste because we will continue to kill and eat cows). Therefore, creating an artificial product that probably takes thousands of years to decompose in the environment (as Apple did), does not seem to me to be more eco-friendly than using genuine leather which is at the end a biological product that is subject to bio-degradation faster than anything else and is already widely available as I just explained. There are very few animal that we kill just for their skin (alligators, caimans, etc), and the sale of most of these skins are nevertheless prohibited in most countries and Apple has never ever used such products. If I say something wrong, please explain yourself.

If Apple cared so much about the environment, they would have switched to 100% recycled paper/carton for their packaging instead of using these shiny white boxes. If Apple cared so much about the environment, they would have designed their products to be the easiest to repair in the industry with standard screws and no impossible to remove glue. If Apple cared so much about the environment, they should have implemented repair program where Apple does not make any money from repairing broken items providing a service at a net cost basis to the consumer, who in turn is not obligated to buy a new product vs. pay for an expensive repair of already existing product (as it happens now). If Apple cared so much about the environment, they would have not included some still quite modern products in their obsolete category.

I love Apple and I welcome their efforts of being more eco-friendly, but when there is just marketing BS, it should be said.

Was kind of hoping for a good looking waterproof/sweat proof band for the Ultra 2. The ocean one is crazy thick I can't do it, and I'm a little bored of the sport silicone bands (been using it since AW2).

And the new woven mag bands are still unavailable to order.

It is weird, Amazon has them for pre-order on the 22nd.

That is probably when Apple will have them to order.

I’d love to see a solo loop designed specifically for the Ultra.

I’m still looking for reviews on the band
