The $49 pricing on the band that solved the problem of bands having a little flap sticking out is egregious?
I'm so glad I'm not you.
Have you ever tried any third-party sport bands? I have, and they are not _nearly_ the quality Apples flueroastamer bands are. I Will gladly pay the $50 for the quality, durability and overall construction of the sport band.
LOLWUT?
I have about twenty third party bands - sport, leather, metals of various kinds. I also have several Apple sport bands, leather loops, and also two hermes bands.
Fairly certain that I’m both able to discern quality and pay for it, even happily.
But you’re deluding yourself if you believe Apple’s sport bands are dramatically better than third party bands. Of the dozen+ I have, one - and only one - became sort of sticky and gross after prolonged use. I didn’t buy again from that seller. The rest, from a variety of sellers, show no more signs of wear and tear, discoloration, or any other issue than do Apple’s. Any difference is only appreciated upon very close inspection.
Maybe you should improve your sourcing.
