I have one right now (black sport band), but I just got my watch in March so I’ll likely buy at least one additional band in the future. I’m thinking about getting a dark colored leather one for when I’m in the office.
Got a tip for us?

... and ......... a sports loop Apple band --- the only band I wear now and will ever wear. Lets my wrist breathe, feels amazing, doesn't mark up my laptop while I type, and ... when it gets dirty I throw it in the washer. Won't be getting anything else - may get another sports loop (darker) for formal events.
So I got the wife a Pearl Pink Nike Sport Loop for Mother’s Day, as I’ve heard they are super comfy bands and I can’t find anyone who doesn’t like them.
She can’t stop raving about how much she loves it. I don’t have a sport loop (yet), and third party bands are definitely cheap but don’t bother me too much so it’s what I mostly wear.
Big question: For only $50, how much am I missing out on the sport loop party?
I only have 2 bands myself right now, the white sportsband that came with my OG model which I never use because it's so heavy and clammy-like, and a nylon band which before I bought it I thought was white with black stripes, but actually under more natural light than in the store I bought it is slightly pink-ish, which would make sense, since it is called "pearl"... Super fail there, but oh well. Live and learn, right? Anyho, it's so slightly pink you really can't tell. And, being quite well-made it has held up pretty well too, I've had it for nearly two years now and the only place it looks a bit worn is around the holes on the longer strap-piece, which is under my wrist and not visible normally.
My aim is to get a rubber Nike sport band matching whichever case color I pick for my next watch (aiming for S4 this autumn), plus a sport loop and a new nylon band as well, with some nice colors on it this time. The white one with green and blue stripes whatsitscalled, for example.
That way, impressions won't be tainted by the opinions of other people...
I tried a sport loop on briefly once and it felt very soft and fuzzy and kinda stretchy. All in all, a quite pleasant experience I would say.

If Wifey has one, just try hers on and check for yourself!

Yeah, I didn't realize how many until I counted them last week.
I am almost embarrassed.
I have 3 series 3 watches and 3 series 2 watches.
I've only bought two bands in all this time. I more or less just swap the bands between the watches. I don't have any plans to buy any more bands any time soon.

Yes I know what you mean, it becomes very addictive this band collecting lark!!!
62. Every OEM Sport and Nike Sport band Apple has made so far. (Two bands [Pure Platinum/Black and Light Bone/Black] not pictured...need to begin a third storage bin.)
I‘ve only got a two in math class but I don’t see 60 watchbands. I see 3000(in my view wasted) opportunities.
But nice drawer.
No, I don’t envy you. To each his own. Thumbs up.
Can we see additional pics of this...like inside the bin drawer? Also, how big is this stand?
15x6x9”. 30 drawers. I started out with one and continued collecting the colors I’d previously missed.
Just out of curiousity, how different is the Product(RED) first gen vs. second gen to the human eye?
I'm not sure either, but I believe the guy refers to the ~3000 dollars you spent buying those 62 bands (3100 really, unless some of them came as standard with a watch, or maybe you got a discount here and there. *shrug*)
Nice armband warderobe btw. Very neat and tidy. The card insets really make it work.
Thank you. It’s too bad he assumed I spent that much right off the bat. I’ve found a lot of them on eBay as well as Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I’ve also rec’d many as gifts over the past few years since a few family members know I’m an Apple fan. Most people haven’t been as negative as that, but I digress...¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you enjoy you collection please by all means continue. Should you care about others opinion? It's not my cup of tea but I would not sense negativity in my reply. I find your collection quite intriguing.
