The woven nylon bands, which are among my favorite bands, were made from 2016 - 2018, they are getting harder to find but you can still find some on eBay. In 2 years of band collecting, I have 21 of them including 4 international’s.

Only two, that color got dropped with midnight since Apple Watch Series 7 replaced it with midnight aluminum. Did you buy the black band with your graphite Apple Watch or standalone?

Series 0, won it at work when it was first available. Wish I had kept it.
Currently wearing a different, basic Series 0, replaced screen and battery recently, and my daily driver until S10 arrives.

I bought the band standalone and it says it’s a black sport band demo.
Ohhhh then I guess that is a prototype black sport band before it got replaced with midnight. See eBay listing below: 👇

Don’t you have a storm blue band btw? When I went to the Apple Store to see the Apple Watch series 9 and iPhone 15 pro one last time, I went to try on the AirPods Pro 2, and saw this iPhone 14 silicone case of this color. When you try the AirPods Pro and 3rd gen demo they use an iPhone 14 or 15 that you can play the audio from.
Very nice stainless steel Apple Watch S9 Hermes! Is that the single tour on a 41mm?
🔥 combo! The Braided Solo Loop matches well with the titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2. May contrast with the black titanium Apple Watch Ultra.
Today’s combo is a Milanese loop- again! A sunlit shot this morning.

I think it will look great on the black Ultra as well. I’ll get the black Ti Ultra one to add to my natural Ti Ultra around Black Friday time as I’m sure they will go on sale around that time
Indeed, launch day iPhones and Apple Watch S10s will not start having deals until Black Friday two months later. I am waiting to see if the iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPhone 14 Pro Max drops in price as well.Thank you! Yes it is a great match. I think it will look great on the black Ultra as well.

The Apple stores started selling out remaining stock of iPhone 15 Pro and aluminum Apple Watch S9. I went there yesterday to check them out one last time.
Man we will miss the space black Apple Watch Hermes! It will be replaced from stainless steel to jet black aluminum.
They’ll bring it back next year. They need something to hype after this lame release.
I bought the series 9 SS on an Amazon deal earlier this year and the SBSS Hermes from Apple in May, my reasoning was to future proof myself in case the band connecters were changed, as was rumored. Looks like I made a good decision, as I like SS and SBSS, I’m not liking the decision to make Hermes Edition in Titanium, and the display size in the 45mm is just perfect on my wrist. It worked out just right for me.
Indeed 🤦🏻♀️ I took a final look at the stainless S9s at the Apple Store yesterday before they become titanium S10s. This same design they introduced can still be housed in stainless steel. Scratches will be much more difficult to remove from.
It is a smart move, bro. 😎 I did get my gold stainless steel Apple Watch from a Walmart deal as well at the same time. The bands they are offering like Milanese loop are still in stainless steel, not titanium.
After stalking eBay listings for several years, happy to report I finally own a Series 5 ceramic. Got it for a super steal and it's brand new, ended up not even needing the eBay watch alert since I found this one through a member on the watch band collecting discord server. Even though it's old enough to not get new updated, I think this might be my new favorite watch... And I think it's a tragedy we may never see another ceramic model again. This case rocks.

I wonder how the new "Natural" Titanium looks with the old Stainless steel link. I really don't want to buy another link.
Today I was feeling this black demo sport band
I just received a 41mm Series 9 Graphite from the Apple Refurb site for £485 (inc a small corporate discount). Unfortunately they don't seem to do stainless models there, but still I'm very happy with it. It's a classic design. I don't like the bezels on the S10, or the look of polished titanium, and the squarish, thinnish design is starting to look less like a watch, and more like a Fitbit. Also, coming from an S7, the fit of my bands will be exactly the same.
Loving this Pine Green / Graphite combo, works so well to my eyes. Can't wait to see one of the new Lake Green bands out in the wild.
