All in the last 15 minutes - 2 different Fed Ex trucks and the mail lady. The bands are third-party. I like to buy third-party to try out colors then invest in Apple sport bands if I love the color (I don’t really love sport bands enough to wear them a lot). I do have 3 Apple nylon buckles coming that I found on eBay. Those are my favorites!

Nice coloured bands! I do the same with third party versions and then usually watch eBay for cheaper OEM versions. I’ll never pay £49 for a band and none of my bands have costed more than £25 and always brand new. I’m liking the look of the Khaki and Pine Green this year. Enjoy.

That is exactly what I do! Shoot I got my Apple leather bands on here for $50 each (saddle brown and black) and I have gotten my money’s worth for sure.

I think the only band I came close to paying full price for was stone. It was and is just such a good color.

The khaki is definitely a winner. I’ll be looking for one of those. Not a big fan of pine green in the third party, so if it’s an accurate representation, i I’ll likely skip that one.
 
It makes me smile what people will pay on eBay There is a Turquoise/ Midnight Green 42/44mm band on eBay at the moment for £95. They are still available from the Apple store for £49. Mind you, nobody has bought it yet.
