Red watch has only one band option?

[happy orchard]

I was trying to order the red watch but the only option is the red braided band, which I already have. Really don't want to pay extra for a band I already have. Wanted to switch it to the new red Sport Band because I like it more than last year's (was orange-red then.)

Has anybody found a way to order the red watch with a band other than the red-braided band?

Even tried Apple's watch studio, and I couldn't do it there?

You will have to buy a band separately. The Product Red is different because of the cause it is tied to and Apple has chosen to signify their relationship with red.

I’ve heard you are able to now bring in the band included with watch and swap it for something else in store. Pay the difference if it’s more. I am hoping to do this myself. You use to not be able to do that. I hope this changed as I have been hearing.

I hear you, and I appreciate that. However, I was wanting to get the red Sport Band instead--so we're still in the red zone. Think I might try an Apple Store and see if I can find an amenable manager.

What is this?! This sounds awesome. Like trade in an old watch band for a new one? That could be interesting.

You can get the red sport band with the red watch. I thought you were wanting a different color or band color and style.

Well I’m not sure it’s like that precisely. But if it’s a new watch and new band they will now swap it where as before you had to return entire watch and band together.

You are awesome, @Apple_Robert! Don't know how you did it, but thank you for posting the link. I clicked right on it, set up my trade-in, and have an appointment to pick up this afternoon! Thank you for your help.

Oooo I see what you're saying. Yes, I'm hoping to employ that because I want to trade in the watch band on another watch I purchased. They didn't have any other options when I picked stuff up yesterday, so they wouldn't switch then. Here's hoping!

It is now on record that two females in this world think I am awesome with one of them being my mom. Glad to help.

Okay, yeah I'm going to ask: how did you find this? I went through the studio, I went through the collections, couldn't find anything. How did you do it? Teach me.

Awwww, I love that. A mom can be so awesome that way; I had one like that, too. Happy to be part of the crew.

I went to the product red watch page and in the left corner of that same page there is a create your watch studio button. Once I clicked on that, I was able to see 2 more red bands offered.

I'm not seeing the product red watch page. I can get to all the product red accessories page. Hmm.

Okay I get it. Pretend like I'm purchasing it, but customize there. See I just went to the Apple Watch Studio in top menu on the Watch home page. I like this, like a hidden trail to happen upon. Thanks. That was fun. I like figuring out stuff...and you know when people help me figure out stuff.
